I've left a SAVE for any who might want a space to fill in something before we ride out. Leave your posts here on the discussion thread for either PIo or me to insert.

But isn't the save in quite an odd position, as it is before your post where Brand declares his ideas? I'm going to bed right now, but I just wonder, whether no-one else is worried about Fion's condition, but Sythric?

It would be good if one of the Bregos took us to the next morning and mentioned your group's decision to come with us.
Someone can then get us moving southward. The weather might also need to be mentioned - it is late autumn and there could be cold, rain, even a light snow if you think so . . .

Someone of Bregos, please write it, but if no-one does it today, I'll write it on my tomorrow (approximately like 12+ hours from now).

I'm negotiating with our next 'encounter' writer when whatever surprise there is planned can be sprung on us. So . . . let us get on the move . .

This is getting all the more intresting...

I've written us out from our camp. But for the time being, the post exists only as a manuscript, that has to be rewritten with the computer. I'm off to a meeting pretty soon, but after I get back, I'll write and post it. So maybe 6-7 PM GMT.

Oh, I'm writing us some freezing temperatures... it will be a very cold night indeed!

Just a few questions, in order of appearance:

Undómë: if Raedwald is somewhat thinking, that he should keep an eye on Brand (even half-jokingly), could I kind of rely on that sentiment while writing (Sythric and Raedwald agreeing on that)?
Tevildo: would it be alright if Dorran takes the first watch - even insisting in it, to prepare the rest of the foods while guarding (fresh meat gets very bad soon).
Maeggaladiel: Fion's fever might be doing some tricks with him, and thence he could be a bit confused (not able to say anything intelligible) when woken up in the middle of the night to sleep by the fire? That ok.? Also Fion insisting in the morning of being well enough?
Folwren & Tevildo: I kind of remember Athwen promising Dorran to help with the breakfast. Should this deal keep - so that I can write them making a light breakfast together?

+ Arry: I'll send you a PM (try to do it before I go) about the part I thought would describe Sythric waking Brand and them changing a couple of words. Please tell me if I have Brand's reactions wrongly and correct the lines I've put into his mouth to sound like Brand talking...

So off we are... almost.

LATE EDIT: I have dropped the starting off -part from my post as it grew a bit too long already without it. And I think others than me should write too...

So at the end of my post the breakfast is done, Fion is told to be ok. by Leod and ready we are...?

Folwren · 04-11-2006, 08:06 AM

lol, Nogrod! You should direct an RPG yourself someday soon, I think you'd manage it admireably.

For your question directed towards Tevildo and myself - yes, I think the appointment will keep and Athwen will help Dorran cook breakfast.

Tevildo: If you take first watch, should that be when Athwen and Dorran get a chance to talk to eachother? Especially if Athwen can't sleep. She may not be able to, you know.

Hey everyone,
Just to check in and say that I'm alive.... well, you probably know as you might have seen me posting in other sections of the forum. No, I'm not snubbing you, my beloved (?) RPG-mates, it's just that I don't have time for well thought posts... and well, Mirth does not require much thinking. I should be able to get Osmod up to speed in a couple of days and then (if the deities and university professors do not conspire to keep me busy again) I should be able to post well and often until the end of the game.

Hopefully.

Tevildo · 04-11-2006, 10:27 AM

Folwren,

I'm confused. This is probably due to me having an attack of mush brain, but help is needed. First, I am inquiring about your unfilled save. I wasn't going to post for Dorran until you had filled it in or erased it. What is your preference and will you be filling it in? Also, I had these questions.....

1. Did you want to have Dorran slip out of camp immediately and talk with you now?

2. Did you want him to volunteer to take the first watch and talk with you later as the camp settled down for the night?

3. Also, I've noticed that Maeggaladiel says that Athwen is still talking to Fion so I don't think you would be talking to Dorran at the same time.

If that is so, maybe we should go with option #2?

Whtever you decide is fine; tell me and I will follow along. To cover all our bases, I've put up a save. Either I can use it to respond to your earlier post (the save which is still blank now), or volunteer to take first watch and start patrolling the perimeter of camp so we can run into each other later.
______________________

Arry - Related question about chronology.....more help needed. Is it evening yet? Can the group begin to settle down and get to bed? Should Dorran's save include references to the fact that the camp is settling down for the night, or are we still just eating dinner? I don't want to rush things, but I know you would like us to get on the road soon (in terms of real time, that is).

I guess it was my idea to make Dorran insist on the first watch (to finish the cooking - the organs are still raw and there should be some deer left also). Then I saw it as Folwren's idea to make Athwen stay awake a little bit so that your characters could talk.

Arry asked someone to write us on our way with a post. Well I've done that. It needs to be written into an electronic format, but otherwise it's ready. So evening, night, morning. But if you have the save there, you can use it. I'll put my longer post covering the night as the last post there, in a couple of hours...

That ok.?

PS. I can end my post anywhere you like. Would someone want to write the morning and moving on - or add something there. I have very brief thing considering the morning and can leave it out easily...

Tevildo · 04-11-2006, 11:32 AM

Nogrod - Thanks much. Sounds as if I should briefly mention in my save(just a sentence or two) that dinner is ending and people are turning in. Then Dorran can start patrolling outside camp and blunder onto Athwen and start talking with her. (Hope to fill in my save late tonight.) If Athwen needs to respond to Dorran, Fowlren can just pm the post to me or simply put it on the discussion thread here and I'll paste it into my box.

My post shouldn't overlap with yours very much so feel free to add your post or save after my own save.

If anyone sees any problems, let me know. Otherwise, I'll go ahead as outlined.
