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

I've been planning my last post and would like to enquire you about certain points.

Bregowarians: Is it ok with you if I write that the Bregos have been attacked once during their journey? It would have been a small band of orcs at the ferry making a "hit and run"-attack, targeting the children, the women and the elderly. I would need that kind of twist in my narration. I came up with a death-tally of 11 Bregos, but that might be anything else too.

Arry: Can I assume that the general "call to arms" will reach Hengistham too, and that all the riders will be called? That would include Sythric - and he should surely ride to the Pelennor Fields. I think his story could actually end there...

Oh. Oh my. We're farther off from when the Riders goes off to war than I thought. Well, I'm glad you told us. Thanks for putting up the time line type thing, Arry.

I'll use it and will work on my post. I will probably not have it up on the thread until next weekend, though, because I'm going to be leaving home Monday morning. But I promise I'll have it up before June 24!!

I don't know about that... you'll have to ask Undome. Also, Osmod will not go around looking for the village as, Arry said, Theodred would have directed them to where they were anyway.

For anyone who wants the information - Athwen is going to be staying at Hengistham from now until the end of the war. I don't know what people are planning to do in their posts, where they're going to be, or what other character info they'll need to write their posts, but I didn't think it'd do anyone any harm to know where my character was.

Well Undómë said Meghan will not venture to meet the Bregos either. That's clear now. But maybe I could write our now-NPCs to go with Sythric - or he might go alone as well? That might even be more like him at the situation. He's just menaced to see his children alive and well that he just can't sit and wait. And now you may see why I need the little skirmish with the orcs during the Brego-village's journey...

I would imagine that that would be fine; especially since Sythric is an experienced Rider.

And yes – you may use all the characters whose writers have gone absent – “Fion” and “Eostre” (Eowyn Skywalker has not posted to the game or RPG since March 9th)

I think it will be fine, too, to have an attack on the Bregoware villagers – as long as none of Osmod’s or Meghan’s family are killed (they can handle that themselves if they want to).

Yes, it will be alright with me if there is an Orc attack on the villagers

Thanks Arry! I'll try to post my final post today.

I think that kind of goes without saying... I won't be making a catalogue of people dead on that skirmish.

But if they (Farael & Undómë) want to build something like a sad twist to their last posts, that surely affords them the possibility of doing so.

Nogrod · 06-11-2006, 11:44 AM

I've sent my final post. Please inform me if there is something that doesn't sit right with you. Otherwise, thanks for the game! It was my first and even though it went a bit quiet towards the end, I have enjoyed writing a story with you all!

Hope to see you in the next one, one day.

Arry,

I wanted to let you know my epilogue is done. I will be covering Leod and Dorran in a single post. However, since Folwren and I are posting in tandem, I need to wait till she gets hers up first. I believe she'll be returning by the end of the week, and we can go ahead at that point.
