Okay. Seems like Valesse isn't coming.

What do you Eomer think:

And my characters...
I personally am tempted to write that Jen proves just as untrustworthy as Eomeleo suspected and steals the Elves' money and horses and rides away and that's the end of the story for her, but I'm not sure, I would liked to have seen her becoming a "better" person.

Thin-Gloomy could die or escape, depending on how gentle I feel. If the three humans just run off, I can end my Thin-Gloomy post with saying that when the diminished party of his rescuers (meaning the Elves and Dárin) finally arrived, T-G was gone, or that both T-G and his captors were gone.

Personally I could go for whichever ending.

I think I'd prefer a "desertion ending", it would leave the story to feel less unfinished. But whichever is fine with me.

How about a shocking cliff-hanger, where Éomeléo encounters the outlaws who took Thin-Gloomy? I have an idea (which I'm sure would be entertaining).

hmmmm.....this sounds interesting, EotR

So interesting I'd really like the game to continue. And then the story will be horribly biased towards mine and Lommy's desires; but that is our right as the only survivors!

I have nothing against continuing the game, if we do it simply or quickly enough that we know we can complete it and if you have an idea. Should we ask if Groin is still willing to take up Sixth's character? Or if he's willing to play someone else? Or should we just finish it by ourselves?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I don't think we need new players. There aren't too many characters anyway. I suppose, if the two of us are doing it alone, we can use Dárin and Valesseka and others to help our characters along. That way we wouldn't have to make their characters do anything which their creator might have a problem with.

(Were someone else to write about Éomeléo I wouldn't want my character doing crazy things I had no part in. )

So we could have a Jen & Éomeléo-heavy conclusion to this story (with Thin-Gloomy of course) but if someone returns and sees us continuing then they would still be able to post.

My idea is basically Éomeléo being taken by the gang and seeing Thin-Gloomy again. The others can join up for the climax pretty soon after that.

Ok, let's pursue that idea then, shall we? Valesse is actually online right now, I'm wondering if she'll come here now... *crosses fingers*

I'll write something for Thin-Gloomy this week and possibly for Jen too.
