I have returned. Eönwë-posting is resumed.

edit: Ok, I've read through what I've missed.

Nogrod · 08-22-2009, 05:22 PM

Still hanging around...

I'll be very busy for the next week still but then it should settle down a bit. It's good Lommy is working with Cnebba. I'll be posting for Stigend soonish...

Nice to see that people are coming together again - even if slowly.

Thinlómien · 08-24-2009, 01:24 PM

Hmph, I don't understand how, but I FORGOT I was supposed to post. Expect a post in the following few days (and don't experct anything brilliant

).

Folwren · 08-28-2009, 09:40 PM

Okay, so you may think that leaping from one horse's back to another is a bit far fetched, and I might think so, too, except for two facts - I've done it (clumsily, true, but still) AND we are in Rohan and Thornden has grown up there and is a trained man-at-arms.

Enjoy! Looking forward to next posts, by either Groin or Elempi.

Edit: By the bye, I think it would be seriously funny if Eodwine threw the first person (or two) to touch Saeryn or aid in her kidnapping in the dungeon.

Folwren · 09-04-2009, 01:23 PM

I was considering writing a post today, but my time has fled me. I am leaving for the weekend. I'll be back Monday. Maybe something will have happened by then. Sunday is Groin's day off. Maybe he'll post for Erbrand.

I've set the scene for the next round of posts for anyone who wants to write before Eodwine comes to the area of the baker and claims his bride back. Have fun.

littlemanpoet · 09-25-2009, 11:40 AM

An entire two weeks has gone by since my last post, and nothing at all has happened here. I have therefore concluded that interest has wained enough such that it is no loss to bring this Day to an end. So I have done that.

I bid you all farewell. Happy writing (if there is any)!

Good Bye and God bless.

Gwathagor · 09-25-2009, 12:09 PM

Good bye, LMP! Thanks for everything. We'll miss you, and please come back when and if the time is right.

Groin Redbeard · 09-25-2009, 12:56 PM

May you have a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you. Farewell LMP!

Nogrod · 09-25-2009, 06:23 PM

It's kind of an anti-climax it should happen this way... and I feel guilty on my part for not been too enthusiastic to write of late. Yeah, the normal story: so much RL stuff, no grand role to work the story forwards etc.

You should have had a grand exit anyway.

Now it was more like how T.S. Eliot says in the Hollow Men that the world ends "not with a bang, but with a whimper".

We should have had the Bang we were kind of building up already!

But we who are left should also consider what to do next? As a co-mod for this I feel I should take some initiative here. So let's discuss also that. lmp's ending is kind of wrapping it up -stuff so we could start from anywhere if we want to do it.

So what say you?

Eönwë · 09-26-2009, 03:08 PM

So it appears that the great littlemanpoet has finally taken his leave. Good luck with whatever you do, and I know I speak for all of us when I say that we'll miss you!

Who wants to catch Saeryn and wrest her from Eodwine's jealous grasp - and face his wrath?

Let's lay the blame on the newcomer - Nerindel, is your new character ready for a hardcore entrance?

Folwren - is Javan riding to catch the couple? I could see him competing with Cnebba and Garmund.

He would have to start the race later, though, because the horse the younger boys are riding is already oldish and not any posh breed horse and carrying two riders...

PS. Nogrod, I hope that what I wrote about Stigend is ok. If not, I can easily make it just Garstan and Léothern.

I guess he might be riding...I hadn't thought about it.

I think so far, Thornden is in the lead, and next comes Erbrand. Can we have them both over take the bride and groom and while Thornden keeps Eodwine back, Erbrand snatches Saeryn?

I didn't realize it was so literally a chase. Do they have to get the bride all the way back to the encampment? This is more fun than I thought!

-- Folwren

littlemanpoet · 08-26-2009, 05:07 PM

Note that snatching Saeryn is complicated by the fact that Saeryn is sitting in front of Eodwine; they'll have to get the horse to stop and pull Eodwine away in order to get at Saeryn. Lucky for all involved, Eodwine doesn't have his sword with him .... yet.
