Outracing the Flames Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well I guess you both have voiced the same problem that I face.

Sythric is very bad. I would like to have some ideas, what's coming next to decide on my next posts. If we will all go forwards, I need to come up with some miraculous healing-stuff, but if not, then what shall we do? Just at the moment I just can't write about anything, as I can't refer to the state Sythric is in (being really bad or somehow getting better).

And Athwen: I agree with you. I had no idea of "plotting" things behind Arry's back. None whatsoever. I was merely thinking of us having the camp here - and maybe discussing about the possible futures. Maybe our characters might come up with something? But then again, at least Sythric's posts would require some knowledge aboutr his future condition...

With Arry gone (in real life), I took a vacation for a day or two, but I wanted to add something about my original post, since it's stirred up discussion on "splitting the group". When I mentioned Brand was pretty sick, and that the medicine might or might not work quickly, I was assuming that Arry would make that decision for his character when he returns.

Nogrod - As far as Sythric goes, Leod was thinking of him only in a secondary way when I wrote that post. We could always do some improvements on the sledge and continue on much as we did before. That would mean Sythric was about the same. I do think you could make an argument that the best thing for Sythric would be to get to Edoras so he would have all the medicines and such. I also suppose it is possible that Sythric could possibly improve enough to sit a horse at a slow walk?

Arry · 05-18-2006, 01:11 AM

Well, I'm back!

Let's spend a couple of game days recuperating where we are at present.

Farael can work in his idea - 'Athwen' and 'Dorran' can certainly be in on the bit of fun. Use 'Fion' too if you need to.

Nogrod - a post about just how bad Sythric believes himself to be at present, and where his chief hurts now lie and how they are making him feel, etc., would be good. And has he ever been wounded this badly before? Does he feel that his 'older' body is just not healing as it did before.

Brand is pretty much out of it at the moment - and if Undómë wishes, she can continue to nursemaid him, or take part in Farael's caper.

Undómë · 05-18-2006, 02:20 AM

Well, poor Brand is probably in a coma by now trying to escape Meghan's chatterings.

I'd be up for a little comic relief at the expense of Osmod!

No, we will be laughing WITH him, not AT him, right? right?

I'll try to write the post up this afternoon.

Nogrod · 05-18-2006, 10:19 AM

I see the thread is still closed, but as I have now written the post, I will put it here below (I will be away for three days from tomorrow).

So Arry / Pio: if you put it into the thread, you should see, whether it would be better placed before Undómë's post (#385), as it ends in the situation where Leod rushes to see for Brand... that is, before things happening in Undómë's post.

PS. It's a bit grim one in the end, but Sythric might as well be wrong with his analysis of the situation: you know it, that when you are very ill, you tend to look at things more gloomily than as when you are perfectly alright...

Good to see you back!

I'll try to have something for Sythric later today - about the topics you suggested...
