Regin: Just trying to stay in character.

Hey where is everybody?

Tom: I'd like like to go ahead with my next post. Please let me know when you are going to respond.

Thanks,

I'm here.
Waiting for someone to post.
And tempted to get Mabalar freed
single handedly.

I suspect that school finals are the main culprit, Regin. Let's be patient for about a week, after which most students will be quite ready to break out of school and play with us.

littlemanpoet · 06-15-2005, 03:24 PM

Dwindling numbers, I see. Well, thanks for being a part of the story at least for a while, Thoronmir/Meneltarmacil.

I do believe our 12 weeks are about up by now?

Okay, maybe it's the time of year, maybe there's something else going on. Either way, I have a proposal.

If there has been no post to the rpg game in any five day period, I will take it upon myself personally to move the plot along. That includes making other people's characters do things that I think up. If you don't like what I do with your character, protest and I fix.

The goal of the above proposal is twofold: (1) get the party and Mabalar together. (2) spark some much needed interest in this cool story.

Responses?

I'm up for it, LMP, but that's possibly because I have a character and part that have pretty much zilch need for interference. Inzi and Co. are settling nicely into Romenna, which gives you guys a remarkably short few "days". I recommend getting a move on, or there may be some serious issues with Elendil wanting to get his floating show on the road.

And come on guys, I'm sure Abarpa's getting nervous floating around in non-action waiting for Sauron to do something.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and what's the deal with Elendil? Is somebody covering what he says to keep it relatively canonical, or do I get free reign when daddy's little girl gets to see him?

Himaran · 06-16-2005, 09:54 AM

I'm a bit confused...

Are Abarzadan & Co. secretly entering Armenelos, or are they staying in Romenna?

littlemanpoet · 06-16-2005, 11:33 AM

Abarzadan and company are figuring out how they are going to sneak into Armenelos.

Inzillomi and the large group have arrived in Romenna.

Thoronmir has arrived in Romenna, and his writer has more or less written him out of the rpg.

Does that help, Himaran?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-16-2005, 11:47 AM

Wait... so how many of us are currently hanging out in Romenna? Because I'd just hastily conceived a plan of Inzillomi walking through the streets and finding one of the rescuers, but right now, I really don't know who is where. Is Thoronmir officially gone?

littlemanpoet · 06-16-2005, 08:33 PM

Well, part of the problem is game time. Thoronmir has been more or less written out of the rpg. But it must be remembered that it would take him at least two days to race across the island from Armenelos to Romenna. And Inzillomi is, likewise, perhaps a week ahead of the rescuer party and Mabalar.

Actually, I figure it would take Inzillomi about a week to get her entire group across the island, maybe even two weeks. I don't know. So there is much game time to be written through.

So far, and correct me if I'm wrong:

Day 1: Mabalar is captured and Kathaani races back home. She arrives that night.

Day 2: Kathaani, Inzillomi, and all the rest gather at the house of the Melethrochs and plan the rescue.

Day 3: The rescuers set out.

Day 4: The rescuers are confronted by the King's patrol outside the first town.

Day 5: The rescuers pass through the fields, staying off the roads, to get to Armenelos.

Day 6: The rescuers discover the King's patrol tracking them, and make plans to enter Armenelos.

How off is this?
