There's no need for me to revise my post, upon rereading yours. Carry on!

Oooh boy, after reading the Saeryn post, if I were Ginna I'd burst into tears on the spot. This is getting terribly dire, isn't it?

It is getting extremely exciting, if not dire.

What, are you expecting a swift resolution?

Folwren · 05-01-2011, 06:48 PM

No...but it's still exciting.

Folwren · 05-01-2011, 10:18 PM

Elempi, I added something for Thornden at the end of my last post on the game thread. If you think Harreld would respond to what Thornden said before leaving, then I can edit the end of my post to reflect that.

I don't like Javan being rewarded with coin. I think if Thornden was not so tired and had been thinking about it and also had not been worried about Harreld, he would have said something. Anyway, I doubt Javan will accept another silver piece.

I shouldn't have read this before the actual game! I mean of course given everything that's happening Ginna's right about ready to burst into tears any minute, but I don't want anyone to think you sort of directed that.

Anyway, I'm off to read the game thread. This is exciting!

Great to see things moving again! I'll be with you tomorrow...

littlemanpoet · 05-05-2011, 02:08 PM

Foley, I'm glad you took out the parenthesis apology.

I was shocked that the post was not a PM post you both put together! Such sensitive writing! Foley this is one of your best pieces of writing (the only better one I can think of is about a coma...).

Folwren · 05-05-2011, 02:58 PM

lol...Elempi...I appreciate your praise, but it was a PM post, I just didn't have time to post up here on the discussion thread that it was.

I liked this post a lot, too. When we were done, Lhuna mentioned this was the first time we'd written together and she said she hopes we get to do it again soon. I hope so, too.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-05-2011, 05:24 PM

I have to note, I really like how this RPG seems to have come back to life again... nice posting all over the place!

Yes, on my re-read (can't get enough of it) it was clear that it HAD to be a PM post. Glad you two did it. Nice writing!

Folwren · 05-07-2011, 10:46 AM

Alright, folks, what's up? We had a great spurt of activity for a matter of four days or so and then naught for over twenty-four hours. Not cool. I notice WW is back in the running. I won't say what I was going to say in respect to that. I hope the Day in that is drawing to a close so some players can come back and post here.

Elempi left an opening for Nogrod in his last post. Of course, Falco was just assuming Athanar wanted to speak. He may not have a speech to give after all. And we're still in the midst of the conversation between Saeryn and Ginna...let's not stall for an indefinite amount of time, now. We want to keep this moving.

Good job of "not" saying it. XD

I have stuff simmering and ready for Harreld but we're not there yet. That's going to take Ginna showing up at the smithy.

Lhunardawen · 05-07-2011, 11:08 AM

Even the game is silent (in my opinion), and only Nogrod and I signed up for it, so I don't think it's to blame...

I'm getting my post ready right now.

Post edited.

Nogrod · 05-08-2011, 06:55 AM

It seems we're back on track. Good.

lmp: I'll try to come in for Falco & Athanar later today...

Nogrod · 05-08-2011, 03:34 PM

lmp: I ended my post with Athanar asking Falco about his friendship with Eodwine. As you have just written it in the dialogue between Falco and Hilderinc, I think you could just take it for granted that he tells it to Athanar (and he listens attentively) and move on to the time after Falco has already told the story... or of course if he won't tell it...

Lhunardawen · 05-09-2011, 08:48 AM

Foley, would I be right in assuming that the darting shadow is Ginna? If so, then she wouldn't be entering the kitchen but leaving it. Or is my understanding that, to get to the smithy from the kitchen, one would need to go through the hall and out of it incorrect?

I love Saeryn's reaction to seeing Thornden, by the way.

Folwren · 05-09-2011, 10:43 AM

Lhuna, there is a door from the kitchen to the outside. I figured Ginna would rather dart through the kitchen with only Kara and Frodides to maybe see her (they probably won't if they're working over the fire or something) than go through the crowded hall. She and Saeryn had been talking in the women's quarters right across the way from the kitchen.

I can chnage Ginna's route if you want.

Lhunardawen · 05-09-2011, 10:45 AM

Indeed? Haha, I really need to review a map of the place.

Thanks for that, I'll change my post accordingly.

Lhuna, the girl with no sense of direction

EDIT: Ah, right, there is a door leading out. Say, this map doesn't say where the smithy is...

Folwren · 05-09-2011, 11:30 AM

No...when I created it, I wasn't thinking about the smithy. It would be on the same side as the stables, I think, because horses would often be going there for their shoes to be taken on or off, but set apart, so there'd be no risk of fire and such.

What page is the map on, by the way? Iwant to look it up, too.

Lhunardawen · 05-09-2011, 11:35 AM

I went to the first page of this thread and followed the breadcrumbs - I mean clicked one link after another.

Huh, I didn't even notice that it was already long. Facebook messaging is misleading. Anyway, I have no problem with that, Elempi. I like that it breaks this...heavy post into parts.

Yeah, well, I don't know if I like it. I like the post, but I don't like the wait to see what happens next.

Lhunardawen · 05-10-2011, 12:28 PM

Elempi, I hope you don't mind that I posted ahead, too.

(I want to drag this out as lengthily and painfully as possible. *evil laughter*)

littlemanpoet · 05-11-2011, 03:45 PM

Okay, if that ended too smuschy, let me know and I'll change it.

Folwren · 05-11-2011, 06:35 PM

To whom are you directing that question, Elempi?

I wrote Durelin to ask her about Coen's movements, but I haven't heard back from her. I'm unsure what to do if she doesn't write back. I dont want to hold the game up... I think we still have time, but things are beginning to slow down for the evening.

-- Foley

Folwren · 05-14-2011, 11:02 AM

Okay, a post is up. I started it yesterday morning, and only just now finished it, so it's a little disjointed and doesn't flow as well as I liked. Anyway, they didn't meet in a very good way, Elempi....and I had Saeryn act from her emotions as you suggested the other night. I feel really bad for Thornden.

-- Foley

Lhunardawen · 05-14-2011, 11:24 AM

Poor Thornden, indeed! That's twice he got a "none of your business" within the span of maybe an hour.

Quote:

“You’re not Eodwine!” Saeryn said. “And you will never take his place!”

I love this line.

Yes...it probably will. As well as her whole change of behavior. It is so opposite o what it was before she talked to Ginna.

Folwren · 05-18-2011, 01:31 PM

Thanks, Nogrod.

Legate, I had Coenred approach Hilderinc and then stopped the post there so that you can post something, too, if you so desire.

-- Foley

littlemanpoet · 05-18-2011, 01:48 PM

Brrrrr! This is ominous. And I knew it was coming, too!

Question: Does Eodwine know Saeryn's pregnant? Does anybody at Minas Tirith?

Good, I'll take a look at it, and nice to see that people are posting... I don't have time right now to post, but hopefully I will post by this time tomorrow, or several hours from then...

Folwren · 05-18-2011, 04:38 PM

Yes, Eodwine knows. She was, I think, two months along when he fell ill...? She pretty much conceived right after marriage, I think.
