The Fellowship of the Fourth Age (Part 1): A New Beginning Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Folwren · 02-26-2007, 09:06 AM

I am glad to hear that your Mom is back home, Child.

I'd say we should push ahead. I don't think we need any terribly long discussion. Of course, I shouldn't have too much say in that, because if there was a long discussion in the game, my characters probalby wouldn't be taking part.

I was wondering about the rather good point Nogrod brought up earlier, reguarding the remaining slavers ,and the likelyhood that they would return to camp to pick up their stuff before moving on. Has this been addressed?

I do apologize for being a bit behind, (real life's a little too unreal), but I am glad to hear that things are settling down now for you and your mother Child

I'm so glad your mother is alright, Child! And I do hope things stay/get calmer for you.

I agree about the "stuck"-ness. While it would be nice for everyone to have a little conversation, moving on is best. Would it perhaps even be best for the departure (and perhaps even the arrival?) to be covered in your/a narrative post, as well?

In your post when you have Lindir lay out the plan, Child, could you perhaps have Beloan contribute something to this, even if it's just some sort of agreement? I think everyone's going to start working together better, and that would be a nice sign of it, I think. That was the only "important" thing other than general plot stuff that I imagined occurring in the discussion. Thanks so much if you could.

As for who's going, Khamir will definitely want to, but in his condition cannot, unless someone puts him on a horse. None of my characters can make it, I'd say. Typical.

If you'd like to use NPC Nasim or Gamal as among those who go, they could be tossed around. Beloan didn't seem to get severely injured, so perhaps he could be carried along either by Nogrod or myself, unless he stays behind to keep things organized in the slave camp.

I think Beloan should go and we could take him together. There is also this giant-guy Qat who is well and fine and would probably join the team too.

Happy to hear your news Child. I'll try to move those orcs from the tent as soon as I can. But as I said, if you wish to move them in a post for Makdush feel free to do it.

Child,

Dorran will stay in camp, but I'd like to have Azhar come along as her injuries were less serious (and otherwise I wouldn't have anyone to post with in those scences). You can mention her in the planning group if you'd like.

Folwren - could Azhar ride double with Kwell?

I'm assuming we can pick up enough horses roaming around for everyone in the party.

Durelin · 02-27-2007, 10:56 AM

Don't worry about characters being stuck behind. With all three of my characters staying behind, something has to go on.

Thanks, Nogrod and Hilde, for the reminder! Also a special thanks to Nogrod who once suggested that they become bait for the olog-hai. I've put up a save and will dispatch them that way. I am purposely being vague about the numbers in case anyone needs a stray ruffian to show up in a later scene. Imak, by the way, was severely injured but hasn't been seen from since.

If Kwell's ridinga horse, sure she can ride with him.

And I imagine that Athwen'll stay behind with the wounded people, unless this is when everyone's going to be deciding on whether or not they're going to kill the orcs. That's not what's going to happen now, is it?

No... There will be a preliminary decision made by Lindir and the "advance scouts" not to slay the orcs immediately. That will mainly be Lindir "forcing" the others to stay their hands. The decision will be to wait and have their fate decided by the group as a whole. That's when everyone will get a voice and Aiwendil will come running in at the last minute.

If I can manage to prop my eyes open late tonight after others are snoozing and the house is quiet, I'll get the planning post up.
