I've just put in a Save for Barrold Ferny, which will be a transitional post, setting things up for the rescue of Benia. Nerindel - will you be able to write the rescue post? (I hope, I hope...) If not, please let me know & I will try to handle it from Benia's POV. Thanks!

First off sorry I have not been around, I've been really caught up with RL. Ealasaide if it's not too much trouble do you mind moving your save after the one I have just put up for Dulrain as I am (admittedly slowly) putting together a post for that group finding the unfortunate farmers/travellers corpse. Then hopefully I will find time to write a post for Lespheria discovering the breakaway group

Everdawn sorry to hear you are leaving us but wow Fiji that sounds exciting!

Hilde Bracegirdle · 01-15-2005, 03:09 PM

Hi Nerindel! So happy to bump into you!

Ealasaide · 01-15-2005, 04:35 PM

Hi, Nerindel! So good to see you - I was beginning to think you had run off to Fiji with Everdawn!

I will be happy to move my Save.

So, let's discuss what the plan is now to move the storyline to an ending . . .

Hilde Bracegirdle · 01-22-2005, 04:57 AM

End game outline

*********************************

Dúlrain Et al

1. Dulrain with the help of Toby and Gilly go after Benia.

***WE ARE HERE***

2. Dúlrain kills Barrold and they free Benia

3. Dulrain confesses his love to Benia and she compassionately counsells him not to continue Kaldir's revenge and they all head back to Rivendell.

4. end post

***********************************

Amandur's group

1. Amandur Et al leave Rivendell, finding Dir and discovering the fates of Kaldir and Rauthain.

***WE ARE HERE***

2. Léspheria and Naiore sense each others presence and a fierce unseen battle ensues, as Amandur's group moves to corner Naiore.

4. Naiore cornered, grabs Vanwe! Vanwe vainly attempts to reason with her mother and discover why she need her question answered at such high a price!

5. Avanill seeing an opportunity as Naiore is distracted by her daughter, Takes his deadly shot.

6. Vanwe slips from her mother's grasp into the arms of Léspheria. Naiore is then attacked by an enraged Ménecin.

7. Vanwe show's pity and compassion and stops her father from delivering the deadly blow.

8. Lespheria speaks to Naiore pointing out all that she has lost in persuit of an answer that was within her to begin with, She then turns her back on Naiore.

9. Naiore incensed and blaming Léspheria for Vanwe's pity strikes out at Léspheria.

10. Naiore is killed!

11. End post.

*********************************

Pio, Ealasaide and I have started to discuss the matter off thread. It would be good to stick to our outline, but will require quite a bit of dialogue between us I think, in order to figure how to go about it without having Nerindel's posts included yet.

Ealasaide · 01-22-2005, 09:34 AM

Pio - Yes... discussion with Hilde is now in full swing. We should be able to collapse quite a lot of the outline into just a few more (lengthy) posts from each of us. The Benia subplot can be resolved in a matter of three or four posts, plus whatever end posts we need. The Naiore subplot will be a bit more complex, but I don't see it as dragging on too terribly much longer, as we can combine several points of the outline into single posts, according to how Hilde & I end up dividing it up.

I should have my Save filled for Barrold Ferny by sometime tomorrow at the outside, after that I can look at the actual rescue scenario.

Nerindel- Please continue to jump in as you can! We will continue to move the action along, but neither Hilde nor I can write your characters quite the way you do.
