Yes, she would tell Aeron.

What would she dream about Mithrellas?

Grrrr! My dial-up was verrry uncooperative last night. One of these years I'll convince my better half that the switch is worth it. Anyway, I assume that we're all thinking of YIMming today at 6 pm eastern daylight (10 GMT, 3 pm PDT). I'm find with that if you want to start that late, but those times were really for weekday considerations. We could start a little earlier too, for Nuru's sake. I can be on at 5 pm, if others want to do that. I'll be on until noon EDT today, and then not until 5. The plot continues to twist ... (in the wind?) :P

I'm good with 5 EDT especially if Nuru can join us!

Imladris · 10-16-2004, 11:13 AM

I'll try to be on...however I have to go shoe shopping today (been suffering blisters for quite a while) and...it all depends on how long that takes.

*really doesn't want to go shoe shopping today*

lmp== on second second thought-- YIM me, I have an idea about a way that Tharonwe can really corner Amroth.

Imladris · 10-16-2004, 09:04 PM

Hey LMP, would it be okay for Gwyll to dream of Mithrellas? If so, what kind of dream would you need?

I was thinking that Gwyll could sense her loneliness too, but that's just me.

Okay, our Group Post is going to undergo major revision. There's a certain collaborative vigor that goes with creating something real-time. But you have to have the time, and it has to be undistracted! - which my time wasn't. Also, I discovered that we really need to collaborate on the villain as well as the characters and plot. Whereas it's great fun to surprise the group, it only works if the surprises are thought out well enough, and that (oops) didn't quite happen.

For one thing, I didn't have Tharonwe thinking Elvishly enough, nor craftily enough, for that matter. He would have known that he would be at too big a disadvantage with 3 Elves against 1, in terms of both osanwe, and arrows, to let them get within shooting or speaking range. So Tharonwe is not going to let the Party get close enough to him to shoot or talk. Any "bargaining' will be done via long distance (out of sight) osanwe. Tharonwe and his merlocks are therefore on the other side of much muck and mire and water, out of sight.

That of course directly affects some of what has been written in the Group Post.

Tharonwe will "call up" Mellondu, and Raefindan and Ravion both will protest Amroth's indifference to Mellonin, whose suffering at the hands of Tharwone, will be communicated to all via osanwe, unless Amroth and the Elves attempt to protect the humans' minds from it (but why would they?).

The only damage to Mellonin will be five tiny muscles extracted carefully from her left cheek, and fed one each to the five merlocks. I don't know exactly what that would look like after it was healed, but let's just assume that Mellonin's face sags on the left side, and her smiles are all one sided only - but not her frowns.

Gwyllion and Aeron will be darted, and Gwyllion taken captive yet again!

Leafa will be the next bargaining chip after Mellonin. Her upper arm bone (whatever it's called) will be broken. She will faint (after being woken up), but will not be allowed to die.

Gwyllion's neck will be slit. This should be about where Amroth agrees to stop pursuing his quest, after much persuasion from the Elves and the humans, who swear oaths to continue the quest FOR him, without telling Tharonwe, and their minds closed to him.

Bellyn will have to live with survivor guilt.

The women will be found lying at the edge of the swamp the next morning, including the body of Gwyllion.

The Party will, of course, be more committed than ever to the quest, and will also do all they can to bring Tharonwe into captivity before they pursue the quest any further, so as to end his mischief (which, of course, will not end - it'll just be right in their midst, and limited by his bonds).

Oh. Ædegard and Jorje Tirril will still be missing. It will be up to the members of the party what to do about them. I know what Raefindan will think, and probably Leafa, I'm guessing.

How does that work?
