Post up. I'm very busy this week, but I'll post again if I can.

Say, Mithalwen - I guess you and I ought to hammer out the concluding conversation between Tathren and Caranthir. Unless you want to do it PM-style, I'll just wait until you get Tathren back to Caranthir and then I can respond. Either way works for me, though.

Alrighty! I'm going to see if I can rally the players of this game together for the last gasp and finish it off.

Gwath and Mith, I sent you both a PM...

Once you write the Caranthir and Tathren meeting, everyone can begin getting their Epilogues on.

I thought we might want to collaborate here on this thread to figure out who's all going to be posting a last post and what you plan to include. Should we stop before marching to war, or should we go all the way into battle and there some of us find our ends? I know that Ulwarth and Uldor both died in battle, so I could finish my character's off entirely if we so decided.

I think Anguirel's initial plan was to just take them to the edge of war. If that is all we end up doing, I could conceivably make the last post of the game with Uldor leading his troops off towards the battle.

Or we could not plan anything in particular and just get the posts up as we can manage.

I'd like to know who's still planning on writing something so that we don't end things prematurely.

Quick question - how long has it been since the day of the hunt???

I'll do a quick wrap-up of what's been happening for Dag's family (with pio's kind permission :-) ) and then she'll do the epilog.

Thanks to you players for bringing this round to a good conclusion!!!!!

I believe that this is just the day after the hunt. Things really came to a fast culmination.

The wrapping up of your story does not have to be done in a short time span. I don't think that Uldor is going to be leading his people off in two days. It'll be some time, so if whatever you're planning on happening needs more time than just one day, then take whatever time you need. (Game time, not RL time, if that makes sense.)

Credit in great part to Foley who has held it together despite everything.

Gwathy, I have got Tathren more or less home. I literally ran out of time before I could get him through the gates - well I did but it was one of those posts that took a disproportioante amount of time because it got better the more I edited out and the exchange with the sentinels was consequently too weak. I should be around more than usual for the next few days so if you want to discuss the interview either here or on PM that should work. I don't mind if you want to pick Tathren up from where he is now or if you want me to make a post that gets him to his audience with Caranthir... poor lad is a bag of nerves and I don't expect you to be gentle with him.

Once that is over I will do a final post for him but the nature of it will depend on where we draw the line.

Terrific! I'll try to post for Caranthir this week.
