I'll see what I can devise - do you want me to do the whole scene? Or leave some for you to write about killing the Troll?

Folwren · 12-20-2005, 03:14 PM

Do whatever you want, Arry. I don't necessarily want any part in the scene, it was just an interesting idea that you might like. . .but that I didn't want to write. If you want to give me the last of it, then that's fine, but please at least begin it, somehow. Or you can just write all about the battle and the trolls death and then give me a place to hop in after it all - provided you manage to do that before Thursday, because I won't be here after that, likely.

I had the Dwarves finish off the fifth Troll.

The last two of the five are being harried by the Elves as they attempt to get into the center of the camp where the supply wagons are.

Up to you, now, Mithalwen and Envinyatar to deal the death blow somehow to those last nasty varmints!

Arry,

Bror's beginning to think of the people at home. Thoughts that don't necessarily make sense or don't meet exactly right at the end are spinning around in his head. If Skald's any wiser, he can say something to help Bror out, or he can just let it rest pretty much where it is.

-----------------------------------

Everyone -

It looks like I'm not going to be able to get on again (after today's working hours) until something like January 3rd. But there is a chance (though it is a very slim one) that I might find a computer between tomorrow and then. Actually, the fact is, I very possibly may be able to get on once. . .something like Tuesday the 27th.

Anyway, the upshot of the matter is - my character is going to have to be carried along as necessary (likely by Arry), and I hope that the game doesn't end until sometime when I can participate. However. . .if it does end before I return, then that's how it is, and I won't compalin (too much) and everyone will be happy.

---------------------------------

Pio,

You said

Quote:

And I'd like to invite any or all of you think about submitting game proposals for the upcoming year.

And I'd like to say I'd love to, and will do my best to think of something or other. . .though I might warn you and say that though I've been thinking really hard for a long time, I've not come up with anything, and the chances of me actually inventing something are small. But we'll have to see.

Yours,

-- Folwren

P.S. Oh, look, I just had a thought. If it turns out that the game does come to a close before I have a chance to return, mayhap someone would be able to put a save up for me? P'raps. . .maybe. . .

Once this battle is done and the camp back in order - would someone like to move us to the next day? We can have the Dwarves leaving and heading back to Khazad-dum; the Elves can start on toward what will be Imladris.

What would everyone say to calling a halt to the game at that point? Those of us still writing for the Elves can each do an epilog for our characters - 'having reached Imladris, etc, etc.' It could be set whenever each of us would like. The Dwarves can do one from the perspective of having got back to Khazad-dum.

And then Durelin can of course end the entire game with her final post.

Someone can leave a SAVE for Folwren. And I'm sure Pio will hold the game in the Shire until Folwren has time to write her post.

How does this sound to everyone? Any other ideas for bringing the game to a satisfactory close?

Arry · 12-22-2005, 06:38 PM

That sounds fine with me. I can respond to Folwren's last post, then bring us to the next day and we Dwarves setting out to go home.

Mithalwen · 12-23-2005, 11:26 AM

Okies. I will fill in my battle save then think about an epilogue.... well I have already thought a bit but of course Losrian's fate is now bound with Ondomire's unless he has had a change of heart ...or kills himself off
