...does anyone else remember The Mighty Plot Twist...?

Which one?

No, seriously, I'm not sure I do.

But the rest of that I remember (or, if I don't remember, it's always the way I had assumed it would go anyway...

)

Indeed. Hmm. Well, we had a plan, and a damn good plan it was as well. And I have said plan saved...on my laptop, which has died.

Bother.

*sigh*

Here at the end of all things, I am glad that you are with me, my remaining gamers!

And thus was Pashtia spared the Night of Sauron, for the Nazgul fled into the West, never to be seen in the East again.

So here's what I propose: that the game be given one more week in which anyone who wants to can post their final word (or two) before I put up an Epilogue of some sort to finish it all off. There's still a lot that needs doing, so there should be plenty for us to work through! Who will become ruler of Pashtia? Will the City be rebuilt? Who has survived this terrible night and who has not?

Okay, I was having a hard time finding a place to cut off my post so that it made sense - I sent Siamak and Zamara in the direction of Tarkan, Arshalous, and Korak. I believe that Nova intended for Tarkan to die, but I do not know about Arshalous or Korak, and there didn't seem to be a way to bring Siamak and Zamara all the way ther without addressing that.

So instead, Aman, I posed (or Siamak did) Zamara with a question - you can use it as a lead-in to conversation if you like. Or, if you have a better idea for a conversation starter, let me know... like I said, I was having some trouble cutting it off.

This has been a great RPG, I'm really glad to have participated in it and find myself a little sad at its ending. Ah, well, it's been fun.

Well, I've something in mind for both Tarkan (and Pelin for that matter). I'll try to post as soon as I can, but I'm currently sick in bed with a cold. Yeah, can you believe that?

At last, at last, there's Daliyeh's last. I was wanting to bring in all sorts of ideas about the Pashtian culture but I couldn't recall enough of the things we had posted earlier and decided that, after all, a conclusion needs to be concluded and not drawn out.

A fabulous game full of intrigue and wonderful exploration of possibilities. Stellar work everyone! But mourn not the passing over much!

Finally, the epilogue is done and the game is done.

Thanks to everyone who made it such an enjoyable experience, particularly to those of you who stuck it out to the very end.

But, alas, here ends our Fellowship. I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are ill....
