I'll post us to evening if that's alright.

Hey,
I'll try to have my save filled by tonight and I'd like to make a short post right after Child's. Undome, if you don't mind, I'll post it here and you can put it up? or Pio can do it... it won't be much, but it has to be after the healer has looked at the (serously) wounded.

Other than that, post away... and if I don't get that post in no big deal... it's just a bit (more) of sillyness

Folwren · 05-30-2006, 07:53 PM

I am so sorry I haven't posted.

Undómë, it's completely alright with me if you move us on to evening. I could think of nothing useful for Athwen to do all day, save haul water, and I didn't have time or interest to write a post like that. I think, come night again, I may be able to write something again. I'll go see what's been added to the game since I last checked. . .

Save's up.... the other post will have to wait, I'm not really inspired at the moment... hoping for a sudden bout of inspiration before I go to bed tonight but if not I'll try to write somethng soon... or I'll just won't do that post

Farael!

There seems to be something like a contradiction to earlier post in your filled save.

In my post (the one before yours) Sythric calls everyone to run away, shouts to be given a bow and tries to get up to fight. I don't know of course how you others reacted to his bellowing, but the situation wasn't quite like you describe it, as you write:

Quote:

The sound of horses, riding towards the camp. There weren’t enough men to resist; the wounded would be easy pray for the easterlings. They could only sit back and wait, and hope that the riders moved along worried about their own business.

PS. I'm having quite full days RL-wise, so I probably won't be writing very actively in couple of days...

SAVE filled

Arry · 05-31-2006, 08:56 AM

Let's bring this section of the RPG to a resolve by day after tomorrow.

At that time, I will leap us forward to Edoras and then each of you may write a final post/epilog as you wish.

Well, Sythric can do what ever he wants to, that doesn't mean Osmod will even pay attention to the ramblings of a fevered old man!

No, I don't think there's a contradiction, just different spins on the story.

Well, it's not a big deal anyway. And I totally agree with the "different spins"-stuff. That's just right. I just thought it a bit weird that you gave an impression of everyone just sitting back and waiting when someone is kind of shouting and bellowing and calling for action - and making almost lethal effort to get up... (but maybe no one noticed?

)

Folwren · 06-04-2006, 01:00 PM

Save Filled.

Undómë, I kind of hope you write a post in response to this last one, but if you don't want to, that's fine. Whatever you wish.

Farael · 06-04-2006, 03:08 PM

I think I'll save my "strenght" and creativity for the epilogue... whoever writes us leaving camp (Arry, most likely) could you say that Osmod organized the riders and took the lead?

Folwren · 06-07-2006, 06:18 PM

Great Arry!! Excellent post, and if I hadn't repped you so recently, I'd do it for that one.

Grima is sick! But I guess he was in the book, too.

Anyway, I've not say in the matter about your guys' villages. I hope they make it safely. I will be writing an epilogue sometime, however. Hopefully everyone else will, too.

Time for dinner!

So fellow Bregowarians, what do you think has happened to our people? Did they get over the Great River?

Farael, Undömé, what say you?

And surely we need to write the story of our characters riding to search for them?
