The Lingering Darkness Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, alrighty then... July 31st it is.

I will get a post up for Naiore either today or tomorrow at the latest, establishing her wherabouts.

Right now:
Amandur, Rauthain, and Avanill are in the rhododendron patch.
Kaldir is on the stairs.
Benia is with Dúlrain in the Hall of Healing.
Gilly is wandering the gardens with Toby.
I am guessing that Léspheria & Vanwe are somewhere in the vicinity of the Hall of Healing.
Menecin is in his room.
Naiore is lurking in the woods.
Barrold Ferny is also lurking in the woods but not with Naiore.

Since Dúlrain needs a few days before he can be up & about and the action can begin again in earnest, we need to start thinking about advancing the time frame. What else needs to happen "today"?

From the angle of my characters, I need for Kaldir to have conversations with Amandur, Rauthain, and Benia... preferably in that order. Naiore needs to see that her plan to grab Menecin has failed. After that, she needs to hook up with Barrold Ferny again.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think we are still currently in the morning of the day following the battle at the ford. I can get Naiore into position now, but I am thinking that it won't be until later that day or sometime the following day that she sees her plans fall into ruin. The conversations between Kaldir and the two rangers can take place at any time beginning that evening. Kaldir's conversation with Benia must take place after Dúlrain has rejoined the ranks of the mobile.

Everyone Please let me know (by PM if you like) what else needs to take place before advancing the time frame. If you have a preference as to how far we advance it, please let me know that, too. Thanks!

One more thing...

From now on... SAVES will be permitted on this thread.

We have a lot going on and (hopefully) that will help us to keep moving and not trip over each other in the process.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 05-14-2004, 10:37 AM

Ealasaide do all these conversations have to happen for Kaldir ’today’?

I'm thinking that by speaking of advancing the time frame you mean to completely skip over the days that lay between now and when things get rolling in earnest.

In that case I require:

'Today'

- a resolution to the scene with Avanill ( Nerindel Rauthain can be left with guard duty, but after Amandur has a chance to do what need to be done, Rauthain must see to his horse and there meet up with Kaldir, if Amandur could watch him long enough for that to happen I'd be grateful, and provided he doesn't slip away first.

- Rauthain to met Kaldir

- a chance for Toby and Gilly to hook up

- a chance for Menecin to go for his stroll and meet Vanwe.

'Later'

- Gilly to speak with Kaldir about Benia.

- Rauthain to meet Gilly also.

Ealasaide if you handle the brief conversation between Gilly and Kaldir, I'd need only one post here.

That is my schedule, not really in order.

Ealasaide · 05-14-2004, 11:56 AM

Hilde - to be honest, I would prefer that none of those conversations take place "today." I was just saying that the conversations with Amandur and Rauthain could take place as early as "this evening" if necessary.

*The Menecin/Vanwe/Naiore scenario we discussed needs to take place on another day, preferably one or two days hence, closer to the time when Naiore makes her move.

*I envisualized Rauthain's conversation with Kaldir as taking place after Kaldir's conversation with Amandur, preferably by a day or so.

With that in mind:
All that needs to happen with your characters "today" is to resolve the situation with Avanill, and for Gilly and Toby to have an interaction. Is this correct?

Ealasaide · 05-14-2004, 12:04 PM

By "advancing the time frame" I just meant to advance to the next step in the action. If that means to evening, great. If that means to two days hence, great. What I am trying to determine by asking what needs to happen is exactly when to jump the time frame to... if that makes any sense.

My schedule with my characters (as I see it):
Today:
Anytime - Naiore moves into place, watching Imladris
Evening (or even tomorrow) - Kaldir's conversation with Amandur

Other day(s) - could be spread out over two days:
Kaldir's conversation with Rauthain
Kaldir's conversation with Benia
Benia's conversation with Gilly
Naiore makes her move
Gilly talks to Kaldir about Benia

Nerindel · 05-14-2004, 03:00 PM

oh my!

ok here is the schedule for my Characters:

Today:
resolve the situation with Avanill, (Hilde Amandur will leave him in Rauthains charge for now and will, as any good rangers would relieve him later!

)

Amandur goes to the halls of healing. (Ealasaide why don't we have the Amandur /Kaldir conversation there? he was wounded too wasn't he? there are other healers so it doesn't neccasarily have to be Lespheria who treats them, in fact letting her worry about him a bit longer might not be a bad thing.

Confessions of a hobbit (Toby)

Lespheria and Vanwe tend Rivendells wounded

Later (over the course of several days):

Vanwe looks for Menecin
Lespheria continues to look in on Dulrain and Benia.
Lespheria and Amandur talk in the memorial gardens.
Dulrain recieves distressing news.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 05-14-2004, 03:14 PM

Does anyone have serious objections to Menecin taking off this evening? Possibly Lespheria and Vanwe could be so wrapped up helping that it gets late and he is there with the doors to the terrace wide open..... It is just such an excellent opportunity!

This does not, of course, mean that Naiore needs to see him anytime soon.
