I have decided to divide my final chapter of the story into at least two posts for reading convenience. The first one goes up now.

The End
The final post of the game goes up now.
I have announced the end in advance so often, pushed - no, gently nudged! - everyone to post, and persevered so long that I can hardly believe it has finally happened. Thena, Mith, I did not include your characters in my post, as I have no idea what your intentions are. I hope your saves will be filled soon enough so as not to be terribly anticlimactic. Should you wish me to write your character onto the ship for the journey back, let me know and I will edit accordingly. Thanks once again to all of you for a wonderful experience and a fantastic story with what I consider the best writers on the Downs!

Praise Us, Praise Us
Praise Us with Great Praise!!!  It certainly has been a long strange trip...it is kind of hard to believe how many years ago it was that Estelyn sent me a message inviting me to join the original REB.

Almost 3 1/2 years ago, we began with The Revenge of the Entish Bow. If someone wants to do statistics, you are welcome to go back and check who posted on the two game threads - for now, I'm just basking in the fact that it's done!
It’s been three long years, and whaddaya get? Another post written, but still no new rep. BW don'tcha ban me, cause I can’t go – I owe a save to the Entish Bow!

Done at last, done at last, brothers and sisters, we're done at last!
(Except for Mith and Thena, those louts.  )Thanks Esty for starting these RPGs. They were much fun, even though we at times needed cattle prodding to post.  Like Kuru, I marvel at the many years we've spent on the two stories. I'm getting all nostalgic now for characters such as Halfullion and Earnur Etceteron (and his sarcastic horse and foul tempered sword) and others that left us long ago. I still remember the very first thing I ever wrote for the Revenge of the Entish Bow. It was Vogonwë's "Ode to a Hair" poem. The rest of the post was written around that. I still think it was the "best" Vogy poem I ever managed. It's been fun.

Over? Did someone say "it's over"?? NOTHING is over until WE say it is!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Gateskeeper's final post is up. And with it ends a most wonderful adventure in writing and in good cameraderie. It has truly been a blast in every way, and I hope this isn't the last we hear of Merisu and Company. Please accept my apologies for all my delays. I wish I could thank you all in person for such fantastic interaction and all the laughs. <Bob Hope Mode=ON> Thanks for the memories... Esty, I bow to you for your gutsy stick-to-it-iveness in shepherding this to completion. I ask only that you write Gatesy onto the return trip as you most kindly offered. Now let's go find the Ent-domestic-partners...
