I've just posted, and, Helen, let me know if there's something you'd like me to change. It's kind of different from what we had discussed concerning Ravion and Mellonin, but given the shape that the story has taken, I found this turn of events more in line with Ravion's character. However, if you'd prefer something different, just tell me.

Orual, I like it, and it works so far.

I've given Minas Tirith some thought lately. ONe option for the future is that Mellonin and Mellondu will actually return to Minas Tirith-- perhaps with stubborn Erebemlin attending Mellondu's every move? Mellondu will discuss it with his father, who will ask him:

Quote:

Did you give this elf-lord you word that you would aid him in his quest?

Uh-- well-- Um-- That is-- maybe I--

All right, son, then go and keep it.

We can re-address the number of horses at that point, and decide who is going on the remainder of the quest. I'm thinking of writing this up rather hastily, and getting on with it all.

Some characters we may have to carry as best we can, if folk get busy. We obviously won't finish the game by Spring... but I hope it doesn't drag ion indeterminably.

Thoughts? Reactions? Opinions?

Horses:

Erebemlin & Taitheneb have their own
Nethwador has Celegoer
Mellondu has Echo
Liornung, Ædegard, & Argeleafa & Bella each have their own
Ravion has Gond.

That leaves, on foot or riding behind:
Aeron
Erundil
Raefindan

Edit: pray that I have time to fuss at the timeline & the map shortly... I think (with weary horses, especially some folk riding double) we should probably "slow down" to 30 miles a day... right now we are just south of the Entwash, true? I think we are maybe 100 miles from Minas Tirith. Let's call it three long or four short days travel.

I should think everyone would go to Minas Tirith, or at least near; some need medicine, some need R&R. We can all be suitably annoyed when Mellondu sets out at dawn the day after he comes home.....

Maybe we catch up with Ravion as he wanders morosely southwards?

Er, anybody here?

Anyone who wants to can write up the departure from camp. Erebemlin & Taitheneb are leading the group sort of by default; but Erebemlin, I think, will be glued to Mellondu's side, and who knows what the group will do when we get to Minas Tirith.

But that's three or four days' travel hence. Let's get there.

Sorry for dropping the ball. I'll try and put up a post this afternoon (Tuesday); can't promise though.

If I don't totally collapse of exhaustion after my homework tonight, I'll get a post up tonight. If not tonight, definitely tomorrow afternoon.

Oh, Aaaaaaalak.....?

If you can move the camp out, that would be good. If not-- If you need me to carry Erebemlin and Taitheneb for a bit, let me know...

Helen, I've had one paper after another for weeks...I'm sorry. I can move the camp along if you can wait until the weekend. After tomorrow, I'm on spring break and everything at school will be caught up, turned in, and dealt with. But it will not be possible for me to post before that...again, I'm sorry...
