Thanks, Pio.

I'm know several of you were not here last year, but we had an excellent time at the last birthday party. I suggest attending...they are a riot.

Now to business...I'm sorry I'm not able to fill my SAVE tonight as I planned. I have a paper due Thursday and it's taking a bit of time. I should be able to get it posted tomorrow afternoon however, since the post is started, just not finished.

I will not be here on Thursday. It's my daughter's birthday, so celebrations all day. She will get my full attention, so I will be unable to post. But I will have a four day weekend following, so we will get this show on the road. The end date is still set for May 8! It doesn't seem like it's been 9 weeks.

Goodnight,

~ Alak

Fordogrim's reply to Harold and Sarah is up -- Alak I don't know what you intend for your post, but I wonder if it might not make more sense to have it after Fordo's?

Hope you have fun at your daughter's birthday!!

Thanks, Fordim...I'm going a little overboard with preparations, but she's only little once.

I have posted the arrest of young Crispin Whitfoot. Arwen and Kransha, please check the post closely and let me know whether you would like anything changed. I tried to use your characters through Fredigar's eyes, but if I've overstepped let me know.

Now that this is up, it would be really easy for everyone to keep posting on the present situation. However, we must keep them on the road. Can someone accomplish this this evening or tomorrow? Anyone could post about thinking about what just happened that morning while riding down the road, or Crispin could tell us what is happening to him and how he is feeling (scared, angry, etc.) being trapped in Fredigar's wagon.

We're down to 11 days to wrap up. That's not very long.

I'll check in later this evening in case anyone has questions, then I'll see you all on Friday.

Ooh, party. I smell food.

alak, all is well. I admit that I've been a little absent of this thread, as mentioned in last post, but that's all coming to a close, even though only 11 days remain. I've placed up a save which will be filled (undoubtedly) within 3 hours. It should contain a lot of tempermental ranting from poor, confused Kal.

Arestevana · 04-29-2004, 05:16 PM

I have a save up as well, to be filled within 24 hours.

Kransha · 04-29-2004, 06:52 PM

Ok, my post is up. I admit I controlled Adelard and Fredigar a bit, so tell me, alak, if there is something you'd like me to change. I believe, for the second time, Kal has gone over the edge somewhat. I think someone should get ahold of him before ol' Kal decides to strange the life from poor, helpless, and gossipy Adelard.

Harold's post is up. I have alerted Marcho to the fact that Crispin is arrested. I suggested that we try to catch the theif. Maybe Marcho can suggest a plan to apprehend the culpit soon? Anyway Harold doesn't think that Crispin would ever steal. He's just not that kind of a Hobbit.
