Prisoner of Númenor Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I can take over Kathaani. I feel like giving her some good old fashioned real life experience related depression at this point. After all, she was pretty darned sheltered and now she's had her dad arrested, a rescue party and all of that to be involved in, been in battles, been arrested, probably treated roughly and rudely... and now she's only just been saved herself and has had a reality check. So she'll be more pensieve than active, if you don't think that's too out of character.

Now... I must go see Regin's fill. I love coming back to find filled-in saves. Yay. PS: good to have you back, LMP. Responsibility was making me feel too in control.

I much prefer to have no idea what's going on.

You do have at least one reader! Child raises her hand in the air and then slinks off.

And me - this has been a fantastically written game.

Oh my... I never even suspected we had readers besides those that we forced to do it...That's just plain exciting. I take it you guys read the boring discussion, based on your responses to it... I ♥ it!

I like your take on Kathaani, Feanor. My thoughts on Tiru is that there is a special bond between him and Mabalar, and that has yet to be written about. Could be fun.

So, who's up to write next? That without having yet read Regin's fill-in, so I may be back to edit this post.

Well. Not the best post I've ever done. I'm willing to edit, modify, etc. Anyway, I'm thinking that neither Sauron nor Herugor are foolish enough not to have enough guards around to quash a minor rebellion. Our little party does not even amount to that. So it's time for that Tolkienian wonder, the eucatastrophe; or everybody's dead. The obvious one is the Valar-imposed cataclysm. Too obvious? Can anyone think of a better? The question is, how can the cataclysm be made to help the party when it has no eyes to see who it hits, and no will to differentiate good from bad? Or do we want a literal dei ex machina such that, say, the Valar hear the prayers of Miriel to spare the group? Or is there something Abarzadan can pull out of his hat?
