Perhaps. I am getting involved with our dear Jord, as Durelin's last post indicated. If I can wrap that up fairly soon (which may take at least a week, given the amount of papers and reading that I must do for my courses) then I would certainly act as the messenger to the Elves.

Anguirel, you won't mind if I left Tora's father to you, would you? I sort of lack inspiration for such a character, and anyway, I'm quite busy at the moment, so Tora is as much as I can manage right now.

Anguirel · 02-12-2007, 02:21 PM

Dimturiel, nothing would give me more pleasure. Though handing Tora's father into my power may put her in more danger of Drenda's suit!

Volo has resigned from this RP; the role of Anydor is open for a new player; until someone comes forward he is an NPC, up for grabs if anyone thinks he could be useful.

Anguirel: I think Khandr lives in an actual wooden building - and not a small one - not in a tent. I think I recall some discussion about this issue from a long time ago (and haven't just now the time to check it) where Child said she preferred an actual house. And at least I myself have after that written about a gate that is opened to get to the "yard", about stables on which wall a kicked pebble would hit and about stairs one needs to climb to get in... but check Child about this.

Foley: I didn't think Crogulf would tell us "everything"...

What I was thinking was mainly stuff like how the brothers fare together in general or some possible hints of how his master had behaved as the ambassadours visited or something. So don't be afraid, I try to make this somewhat realistic anyhow - you know me in this...

All: What say you? How general knowledge it is in the Ulfing settlement that the brothers don't come some well together / the bitter relations between the father & the sons? What is general knowledge and where goes the line where their plottings are known only to themselves and us writers here in the thread?

Thanks, Nogrod. for catching that. Ang, yes, Khandr and his household are in a house. Nothing grand, I imagine. Just a serviceable wood and stone structure of a decent size.

The post is grand!

Haha! Yes. lol!

Don't suppose that Crogulf won't tell more than you might think, especially if he's drunk. But even if he doens't give too much away, it will be more than Uldor will like. No fears, though. Nothing will happen to him until things begin to get more heated. We'll have to see...

Um...is there anything I'm supposed to be writing right now?

Save filled. Let me know if anything needs changing - I wasn't sure how to introduce the idea of Mem's coming to the party.

Ang, Mithalwen,

I thought the Elves might appreciate being met by an armed posse.

As I understand it, although the Borrim are the "good guys", the Elves will not appreciate our loyalty or true worth, being deceived by the treacheries of the "Ulfang boys". I thought this would get our relationship off on the right foot. Believe me, Khandr will be apologetic and embarrassed once he's realized his gaffe. And, yes, you will get your invitation to the Hunt.

I don't know why, but for some reason this game gives me the feeling that we are playing out a tragic "western"......
