Form, I brought Amdir to the rest of the troupe. That's what I judged you had in mind doing next? And while Branor does not seem to give Amdir any choice in the matter, I remind you that he DOES have one.

Also also, before I forget.

I am fine with people moving Brinn and/or Rollan around if they need them for some reason.

Indeed--'twas the plan.

I'll hold off a bit on having Amdír reply, in case someone else wants to get involved in the sightseeing, or in case Brinn decides he's needed on-set.

I've had Harrenon express his desire to join the sightseeing,if that's ok. And, Boro, if you have any objection with how my character views your character, feel free to tell me and I'll alter my post.

Okay- generally everything is off my back now. I will try and read through the gameplay thread while I'm at work this evening and I'll make a post after I get home.

Pitchwife · 03-09-2011, 05:40 PM

Nerwen, what you wrote about Asta and Coldan is exactly what I had in mind for them. Nice!
As you see, I'm letting you decide how Coldan is going to spend the time until the rehearsal starts, as he'll try to stay around Asta unless strongly rebuked - I hope that's OK. Whatever you do is fine with me, and if you find a way to get rid of him, well, the poor darling will just have to sublimate and maybe add a line or two to The Fall of King Bladorthin

.
(As far as 'explaining himself' to Asta goes, I doubt he will anytime soon - he's had lots of chances before...)

Okay everyone, QUESTION!!

When I get home tonight and can finally post, do you think it would be appropriate for me to write up a sort of cast of characters info sheet, containing major points as to how we portray the various characters in our play and list important things they do? It seems to me that, after finding out that the King himself might attend, a playwright would become a bit more concerned about accuracy and seek to ammend major errors (particularly those involving the King), and one way to do this would be to distribute small character bios to everyone in the crew and ask that everyone keep his or her ears open for any information that contradicts our sheets.

Then as corrections are added each day (some true, some false I imagine), we would naturally produce a new sheet to work from. Doable, or too contrived? Either way I think we ought to have some sort of master list so that we don't keep adding plot points that contradict each other.
