Will Degas be required, do you think, before he gets to Gondor?

Celuien · 05-10-2006, 09:05 AM

Post up. We see that Garstan underestimates Lin, though his heart is in the right place.

Will he and can he join the rescue party? I don't know for the same reasons that he doesn't know what to do.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 05-10-2006, 09:56 AM

Though Saeryn won't take part in this, as far as can be seen, Garstan should know that if he leaves, she will care for the children as best she can, and certainly with the help of the entire rest of the remaining household.

Good to know. That information would play an important part in his decision making process.

Of course, if Saeryn isn't here just now, can Eodwine tell him that's the case?

JennyHallu · 05-10-2006, 01:29 PM

Saeryn is here, but Fea is dealing with time constraints limiting her posting. That's why Degas and the boys are cameos and not full roles. I should think you could take Fea's offer into account in whatever post you write as coming from Saeryn's voice, (that ok, Fea?) just don't expect a response from her.

So noted.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 05-10-2006, 02:02 PM

Precisely, and thanks Jenny for clarifying for me.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 05-14-2006, 01:51 PM

Can anybody tell me exactly how long it would take to ride from the Mead Hall to Dol Amroth?

Firefoot · 05-14-2006, 01:55 PM

This is a pretty good website to figure out times and distances - they list Edoras to Minas Tirith as 350 miles and taking a minimum of four, average of fifteen days travel. Being that Degas is likely to be in a hurry... I'd say go with a week or so.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 05-14-2006, 02:11 PM

Gracias.

littlemanpoet · 05-15-2006, 07:16 PM

I'm sorry, my RL has just gotten really, really busy lately, and it's all I can do to manage DWWW.

I'll try to do what I can with this when a little time opens up.

JennyHallu · 05-17-2006, 06:34 AM

Hama, I still need to see a post from you. At least get up a save...I'd like to get this moving along.

If you see an 'edited by piosenniel' on your game post, it's just me removing signatures.

I am so sorry my last post is so short, but I haven't time to think of anything further.

Elempi, do what you have to with my character to continue on. Stick him in the backround while Eodwine figures out what is next. As he said, he can be quiet when necessary.

I'm going to be gone until Sunday evening/Monday morning, so don't wait up for me.

littlemanpoet · 05-21-2006, 12:03 PM

Seems like Hama's post needs to be moved to an earlier place in the thread. Like between posts 3 & 4, I think.

Hama:

“Bloody hell Haleth!” needs to be changed to "Blood and swords, Haleth!"

... ready to take on the whole damn Mordor army all by ourselves!” The expletive here may simply be removed.

The rest of it is just fine.

Hama Of The Riddermark · 05-21-2006, 12:09 PM

Right, I'll sort the changes you suggested, littlemanpoet.

Sorry to join in so late...

Folwren · 05-24-2006, 05:42 PM

LMP, I'm so confused. Where's Eodwine in relation to Haleth? And where, then, is Derrin? In Jenny's post it sounds as though Eodwine and Haleth could be alone again, or with several people. Are Garstand and Derren the only ones who have thus far volunteered, or should, by the time Jenny's post takes place, there be more? Because I don't know where my character is or should be, I can't write a post. I'm so sorry. And I'm especially sorry to bother you, because it seems you're awfully busy of late.

Oh! And about Jenny's post. Marenil's suggestion is either lovely or disapointing. I haven't decided which. If Eodwine says yes to him, Thornden gets to take place in the adventure after all (which is lovely, in it's sense), but it's disapointing because I was looking forward to some sparks being kicked up between Thornden and Eodwine when Eodwine told him that he has to stay back and act like a Steward. What's more, if Thornden got to stay behind, Alcarillo and I would have a chance, I think, to do some writing together.

So, there are my few thoughts about Meranil's suggestions. Have Eodwine answer as you will, of course...either way is fine, I guess, in it's different ways.

littlemanpoet · 05-26-2006, 08:38 PM

Does anybody have a clue how on earth the search party is supposed to find out anything about anybody? Where it is to go? How it's supposed to find Sorn? I've had Eodwine and Haleth argue over strategy, and now I think that the two need to more or less stick together. The question is, which one of the two is in charge? Did Lothiriel put one of us in charge? I don't remember that being clarified. It would have been in the Rohan Tolkien created. I'm at a loss. Some help, anybody?
