Dreadful isn't it? Meant to be so moving and pieta like but I can't get beyond this potentially precarious head, what with Lachrandir being about a foot taller than Tathren and somehow them riding bareback eems to make the whole thing more difficult to manage.

I think it is all fault of a casualty (ER )nurse I used to know who told me some very gruesome tales about motorcyclists....

*chuckle* Your post was very good - it was moving. Riding bareback isn't difficult, but riding bareback holding someone a foot taller than you probably would be difficult. Never tried it.

I'll try to post today or tomorrow.

Well some horses are more comfortable than others, though personally I'd prefer a saddle over any distance but I imagine it would be harder to support the body if you, yourself don't have the support of the stirrups. It probably is possible - but probably a bit undignified...

I've just read the RP through and it is beyond my expectations and hopes in its success so far...

I am basically off-Downs, but if he is needed at the end, I would very much like to play Caranthir.

Poor old Lachers, eh!

Phew! I was worried you'd be angry at Lacher's death.

When Uldor gets back, Jord will appear and converse with him in a sneaky, I'm-secretly-plotting-to-enslave-your-people-to-Morgoth kind of way and hopefully find out about Thorn through a comment dropped by Uldor. Then she can figure out how to get Thorn killed off while simultaneously pitting the brothers against each other so that they want to fight for Morgoth...this may require some serious thinking on my part.

I had been hoping for a conversation between Thorn and Uldor - but a conversation between Jord and Thorn would be even more interesting.
