Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Folwren · 03-06-2011, 11:20 PM

I'd love to see the two W's reactions. I think while Nogrod and Elempi decide about what happened during the inside discussion, Lommy will hopefully have time to post...?

Then what, off to Tancreds? Are we going to go as indepth? Or make a few posts that cover a lot of ground each time and not get quite as detailed?

Yes, that was what I wanted to ask: so the plan is to visit all of the lords (or "lords", anyway, I think we can use it as technical term among ourselves - or perhaps "pseudolords", that very well captures the essence, I think

) right during this one day? Of course it probably makes sense. Yet, yes, this has been pretty long. In some way, I would like to return to Scarburg. (I have personal reasons though - I am looking forward to Hilderinc encountering Falco one more time.

I think the random sighting of the holbytla will keep haunting inside his head until then.)

But yes, I guess it's more like Nog's and LMP's place to decide what they want to do with the other two pseudolords?

Obviously, I want to move things to get my most beloved character back in the game - Eodwine. To that end I'm happy with writing summaries of the other two lords, as well. But that's just selfish me. If Noggie is looking forward to having actual interaction between Athanar and these landlords, that's fine. I'm sure I could work it so that they're not nearly as stupid and uncooperative as Faramund.

Sorry about being too much involved on other matters than the Mead Hall... the famous RL has kept me busy of late.

I agree that something like "summaries" would be okay as otherwise it would take a half a year to get through the day we have at hand (and the next one).

I'll try to come back to this tomorrow or the day after the latest.

Posted. If anyone can come up with a better word than "soldier" to Wulfric's last comment, I'd be happy to change it. I wanted something slightly deragotary (sp?) noting to their difference of rank but given Thornden's current (high) position maybe something else than a military term would be better? Calling Thornden "soldier" is kind of stupid, but I didn't want to use "peasant" either and the word I wanted eludes me. Anything that would emphasise the fact that Thornden is a common-born countryside soldier as opposed to being a nobleman warrior raised up in Edoras?

Folwren · 03-08-2011, 06:35 PM

Hm...I'll let you know if I thinkof any word that might be appropriate. Soldier did have that derrogatory ring to it, the way you used it, anyway. Possibly lieutenant (sp!), except I think Elempi would tell us that's not an anglo-saxon word. If he put a certain spin on it, that could be insulting, too.

Good post. Make me laugh with excitement and anticipation. How I love trouble.

It's great. I am looking forward to what comes out of this

And I am sure some of the soldiers too. "I smell trouble?"
