The Reunification of the Entish Bow - Discussion - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Orogarn Two has been buried in all honour, but with only those who are present now attending the solemn rites - which are Merisu, Yawanna, and Falafel (all three played by yours truly, yes). I have no idea if any of the other players are still around, but I will give all a week or perhaps two to catch up and post at the barrow. It's fine if you intend to post later instead, but I do ask all of you to at least post on this thread briefly to let me know you're still alive after the holidays! Lush, you've spoken up, so don't necessarily have to answer roll call. (I have no objection to a post from you, however!

) Please, people, let me hear from you - I don't care to go through all the work of PMing each of you personally. Anyone who is lagging behind may meet with a terrible end; it is a dangerous land to walk through without a guide or guard...

By the way, Orogarn's heroic death is only a plot device, neither more nor less than that. It was suggested that the Itship should not get away without a loss, and that of a Hero seemed most appropriate. Besides, the Homecoming section with the barrow was too good not to parody! All similarities to site founders in real life is completely coincidental, of course!

Possibilities for posting ideas at this point - mourning the death of the only remaining hero; character interaction between Itship and Velour; browsing the barrows, reading the markers to see what on earth could be buried here in the Deathless Lands (besides plot continuity, of course!

) - or whatever inspiration occurs to you.

Hurray, a post! I was beginning to feel lonely here, even almost invisible, since there was no reaction to my appeal for a roll call.

Thanks for another great, funny post, Kuruharan! I really enjoyed reading the Dwarf's high-falutin' speech and the conversations, both inner and outer. Manuël's complaint about the big words had me laughing out loud!

One minor discrepancy needs an edit - Gravlox is not walking with Merisu at this point; she, Yawanna, and Falafel are ahead with the cart. All others are lagging.

Anyone else ready to catch up - or at least to let me know here when you will be able to post? I would much appreciate hearing who's still alive and with us.

I'm still hoping for brief notices that

Saucy
Mith
Diamond
Thena
Rim

are still alive, as well as the promised post by Lush.

A change in my plans will keep me away from my keyboard most of the time during the next couple of weeks. Therefore you all have a bit of additional time for catching up. I will by posting the reunification scene before mid-February. I'd hate to have things breaking up after so long, so I will try to use your characters, but I can't guarantee that I will drag all missing characters along for the ride.

The current lack of interest in the end spurt confirms what I already thought about a third part of the saga - it's not going to happen.

I'm alive, but just barely. Access to Downs limited to infrequent visits to library. Am still in Phoenix, but job may open up in Houston in the next couple of days, which will open things up considerably. I will post here as I am able.

***Mithadan*** · 01-26-2006, 06:09 PM

I'm here, and will try to contribute. Time has been short, but I will do what I can.

Esty

Since moving house, I have been having problems with the transfer of my Broadband connection which are ongoing, so I have only been able to log on to the Downs intermittently. Not sure when it's all going to be resolved, but hopefully shortly ...

I will certainly be posting during the Reunification and, if I can, will post something before we get there.

Thanks for your replies, guys! It's good to hear from you.
