My fishing post is up and Jack (Envinyatar) can answer.
Tollers is hoping to bring a mess of fish back to the Inn for supper, since they can be fried up very quickly. Perhaps, it will atone for his lazy behavior in the morning.

Hi! Hope you don't mind us popping in unannounced
![]() BIO: Name: Enpauriel in formal company, but Laicirith, or more usually Cir, when among friends. Age: 47 Race: Elf Gender: Female Weapons: Just the standard bow and quiver of arrows, and while she is skilled with them they are rarely used. Appearance: Pale skin and long, dark hair which is usually left to hang unhindered down her back, but is tied back into a braid if playing music. Tall and slim with grey eyes as is usual for her kind. Wears boyish clothes, finding them more comfortable for the adventures she and her brother get up to. Personality/strengths/weaknesses: A bit of a troublemaker, always on the look out for something exciting and new and is intensely curious, which can make for a bad combination along with her mischievous streak. Enjoys the company of others, but won’t suffer fools gladly. Has a tongue that has got her into trouble on more than one occasion, but is often used to excuse the same weakness in her brother. Can be bossy, and is especially fond of getting one up on Cir, continually reminding him of that fact that she is a few minutes older than him. Has a good sense of humour and is quickly moved to laughter. Has some skill with most musical instruments. History: Born to Gilthalion and Enhiriel, Enpauriel is one of a set of twins, the other being her brother, Carantilion, and the two grew up in Rivendell. Their most recent bout of trouble making has led to their attachment to a group of palantiri pilgrims, on their way to Mithlond. The twin’s aunt Mithalwen, sister to Gilthalion, lives there, and they are to stay with her.

Character Description Form for the Inn
~*~ NAME: Carantilion Laicirith AGE: 47 RACE: Elf - Noldorin (mainly - dash of Telerin in the mix) GENDER: Male WEAPONS: Bow, quiver and a knife ( a gift from his father but not as sharp as that master craftsman usually crafts them). APPEARANCE: A male version of his twin Enpauriel but as they are not quite full grown and wear similar clothing the differences are less obvious than they might be. He too has grey eyes, an aquiline nose, and dark hair that he wears cut to just below his shoulders, shorter than his sister and even than most male elves since he is too lazy to be bothered with the braiding. PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Has his sister's sense of mischief but her bossy nature and his slightly indolent nature has led him to be generally more passive and follow her into misadventure rather than being the main instigator. Nevertheless his reputation of being dreamier and less troublesome ( the latter not really justified) has been turned top good advantage by the pair since his sleepier image masks a mind and tongue as sharp as his sister's . He is good at heart and well meaning but doesn't think through the consequences of his actions. HISTORY: Son of Gilthalion and Enhiriel Amilya. Nephew of Mithalwen - - - - - - - - - - - NAME: Mithalwen (from Inn Post) - HERE Quote:

Kath/Mithalwen - do both twins go by the name Cir? I'm a little confused...

Lilly, I am so sorry for not posting again in the past couple days. I will try to do that this afternoon. If do not end up managing it, I promise that tomorrow morning, I'll get a post up.
And I'll also be writing something for Dick inside the inn, for all you new comers. ![]() Glirdan, I am very happy to see you here. Welcome! -- Folwren

Hey I noticed in some posts the names are bolded, is this something we're all supposed to be doing?

If you want to call attention to someone that you've mentioned their character, you can put the character's name in bold -- either that, or draw the writer's attention to your post on the discussion thread.

Glirdan! I've finally responded to your character. Sorry it took me forever.
Kath, I'm fully caught up, so I've also responded to Cir, too. Noinkling, I realize that one of your dwarves mentioned taking a nap before supper, but I'm not sure if one of them got up for not, so I've mentioned them in my post as still sitting at their table and suggested to Glirdan's character that he go over and meet them. -- Folwren

Something to be addressed. . .
I had originally planned for there only to be six inn people, the Cook, two servers (Rowan and Tollers), Primrose, who is both the cook's helper and half a server, too, I guess, if she's needed, and Will to take care of outside jobs. However, I have noted a few times now in which some random 'server' is mentioned and made use of when neither Tollers or Rowan, and much less Primrose now with a broken leg, is around to be of service (that can't be happening often). If you all think it would be a good idea, we can go ahead and add a non-player character to the inn helpers and make her or him just a random character that anyone can use when they need to.
I don't know that that is necessary, though. If everyone does their job, there shouldn't more gaps than Dick can fill when his helpers are buse elsewhere. When I thought about what people I would need, I was keeping in mind the inn at Bree - The Prancing Pony. There, if you'll recall, Tolkien only mentions Butterbur and his two hobbit helpers. I don't think it's possible that there could have been only those three working there, because they would need someone, supposedly, in the kitchen, but I did take that into account. So - do you think we should add a NPC to the inn to have grab whatever random orders fly out? You all can tell me if they think it should be a boy or girl (if you care), and I'll come up with the name, age, and whatever else as will be necessary, and then s/he'll be able to be used. My personal opinion is that we could handle it admireably with what characters we have, but everyone has to have the understanding that there are no other people working at the inn than Dick, Cela, Primrose, Tollers, Rowan, and Will. . .and occasionally Lilly, when she pops in. -- Folwren EDIT: Ah, by the way, thought I'd remind everyone - Signatures need to be removed from all posts in the Golden Perch. I know it's generally Pio who ups and says it, but I decided to this time, since I happened to be here before her.

Whoops! I think Tollers is the "guilty party" who referred to the anonymous server in the Inn. I am careful about using someone else's particular character without checking first since I've made some blunders of this type before.
![]() Anyways, definitely don't change the general set up if it works well overall.

![]() Yes, it is good that you're careful about using other people's characters. I need to be more careful myself, actually, but we need to also be careful about not adding characters that aren't actually there. . .it's not too big of a problem, but I'd like to know all the people who work at the inn. But because an extra character who's not played by anyone would be convenient for times like this, I am seriously considering adding one. But it would be really nice to have all the inn personel played out by people. You may need to briefly edit sometime, but don't do so yet. Quote:

It can be quite hard to keep track of where all the characters are, and certainly hard to get served when no one is available to do it

Arry!!! It IS soup on the menu! Fish stew, from what I recollect, and though it's not exactly soup, it is kind of flowy! (I don't think that's a word.)
Fish stew is reeeaalllyyy good, by the way. -- Folwren

You didn't have to remove it, my dear fellow! I was looking forward to seeing a humorous catasrophe take place. But I guess not.
Don't be sorry. It afforded me a good laugh. ![]() -- Folwren

Vehil
Geez...I leave for a year or two and the whole system gets changed. Well i guess i better start from scratch
NAME: Vehil AGE: He would look to be 20 if he was a man RACE: Elf GENDER: Male WEAPONS: Elven longbow, two long knives with elvish inscriptions on them. Leather armor. APPEARANCE: 6'0'' fair-skinned. Just over shoulder-length brown hair. Slightly muscular PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Calm and collected, yet with a quick wit. He often struggles with what his heart tells him to do. He can grow very passionate about his past, and is very secretive to most except those who are very close to him. Vehil excels in archery, and fighting with his knives. As agile as most elves. He is very suspicious of people, until they can prove themselves to him. Some consider it a weakness, to Vehil it is only caution. HISTORY: Vehil hails from the Golden Wood Lothlorien. He and his older brother left the wood and settled in Minais Tirith for some time. Little else is known about him at the time, yet he will likely reveal more about himself to those that earn his friendship. Last edited by Newsman; 05-08-2007 at 11:37 AM. |
