In view of my post, #118, you might want to emend this part of your post:

Quote:

Hírvegil shifted unreadily. “How many?” he asked, his own voice becoming slow and steady. Like a well-oiled machine, Belegorn rattled off casualty numbers from memory. “Fourteen dead, three gravely injured, and many more with minor wounds. Luckily the maids of the camp volunteered to tend to them, though little real tending or medical attention was needed. The Elves are safe – and as caustic as ever – and the men have mostly recovered.”

The Elven prisoners are safe, but Gaeredhel and Rôsgollo are dead in the fight with the Orcs.

Wow, Arry, this is an unpleasant surprise this morning. The death of any Elf is hard to take, but one that is personally known is more so. I must say that it's been a pleasure working with you, and I hope I adequately portray Ereglin's grief at loosing the two young soldiers.

Good luck to you.

That's it Arry? It was nice RPing with you.

Wow. Sorry to see you go, Arry! It's been fun RPing with you, and hopefully we can do it again sometime!

Arry, I will of course edit both my posts accordingly (it may take some time though). Fantastic job on your closing there, and it has been a great pleasure gaming with you again. Your characters are always intriguing and enjoyable to read about. Congratulations on a job well done!

Saurreg: there is time to rest, but not much. Even with all this "stuff" to endure, the group which Belegorn shall lead must head off soon. I neglected to mention, but will now, that the Dunedain are in fact becoming low on supplies, and need to find some new food sources before theirs becomes scant (they are still eating healthily, but not for long).

Novnarwen: In relation to your last PM, it might be more prudent to wait until later this week.

Alrighty, I will be unable to fill my Save, and to post anything else for about a week. I'm quite overburdened with essays and other coursework for the next few days. If I can post anything, I'll be sure to get it up. But, as is most likely, I won't be posting anything for the next week.

Just planning post for Carthor's part in the exploration party...

I was planning to have a recount of the speech, the preparation for the journey as well as its initial stages, followed by the finding of a storeroom. The Dunedain find it in shambles - the great stone jars that were full of barley have been smashed, the casks of beer and salted meats ransacked... all the precious metals, stones and ore is all but gone - the place appears to have been looted by strong, powerful, stone-like hands. I figure this will lead into a conflict with the 'clique'...

Does anyone want to post first, with talk of the reactions to being instructed to go, with misgivings etc.? I had planned to only refer to these subjects in passing, and that in a reflective stance most probably, so anyone wishing to do so's posts would fit better before mine.

All for now... my post will be pretty hefty i suppose, so don't expect it too soon.
