I'm not gonna spoil it, in case you read this before I write my post for the game thread. ^.^

But that's certainly a possibility. I'm going to leave my post open for anyone to begin interaction.

Haha! Good post. I will leave my characters out, unless no one else interrupts. I'd like to see you and your characters interact with other players and their people.

I was certainly naughty enough with it...

Good idea.

Folwren · 02-01-2012, 11:44 PM

Any takers to address the angry, burned little boy?

Firefoot · 02-02-2012, 11:00 AM

I'm going to try and post tonight.

Firefoot · 02-04-2012, 04:01 PM

If anyone else wants to get involved by having their character be the mysterious pail-bearer, feel free... it just seemed weird to leave the post off with Leof and Theolain sitting there having a conversation. I mean, that's what I always do after a painful injury.

Galadriel55 · 02-04-2012, 04:13 PM

I'll wait a bit before writing a post to give an opportunity to other characters to react, or get involved, as Firefoot said.

Firefoot · 02-16-2012, 04:19 PM

I promise I haven't forgotten this. It's been a pretty lousy week... but it's looking up, so look for a post in the next day or so.

littlemanpoet · 02-25-2012, 02:28 AM

It just occurred to me that Laerdil would offer his aid for the healing of the burned hand. He has something stowed away for healing properties. Some leaf or other.

If the mother and boy are still near the hearth, I could start a conversation to that effect, but I won't be able to until Monday.

Galadriel55 · 02-25-2012, 08:43 AM

Yeah, they are still near the fireplace, with the bucket. (Incidentally, do you know for how long you hold the burn in water? I never had any serious burns, so I've got no clue about the procedure I'm writing about)

Folwren · 02-25-2012, 03:52 PM

The kid probably won't be seriously burned, to begin with. He might have a blister or two, but it won't be anything terrible, terrible.

As for how long to hold the hand under water - as long as the little chap will be content just sitting there, I guess. Water feels good and it doesn't harm anything.

I'm sorry I haven't posted recently. Student teaching has been somewhat...not so great.

-- Folwren

Galadriel55 · 02-28-2012, 06:16 AM

Elempi, Leof isn't there anymore. He's at the kitchen. It's just Ledwyn there. And Theolain, of course.

littlemanpoet · 04-09-2012, 04:52 PM

I have introduced the lord and lady of Scarburg to the hall. Since our fearless leader is fraught with too much RL, might we take it upon our selves to put carefully considered words in his mouth and continue the storyline?

Folwren · 05-12-2012, 10:20 PM

Sorry for my very long absence. I think I am back...

Elempi, sounds good. I need to write Nogrod and tell him what's going on here. I promised him something like two months ago that I would.

-- Folwren

P.S. Yeah - how did you get a new PT?

I humbly asked for it.

Have you contacted Nogrod?

Folwren · 05-18-2012, 12:01 PM

I did, but he hasn't responded, so I'm not sure if he's been around anywhere on the internet.

littlemanpoet · 05-31-2012, 10:46 AM

Hi everyone, I want to do a post featuring Eodwine becoming suddenly aware of Laerdil reading his mind, and see where that goes. But I want to wait until someone else posts first. Any takers?

Folwren · 06-03-2012, 10:24 PM

O-oh! Tempted to have Saeryn somehow involved in this. Don't know how or why...

I don't think I'll have time to post - I'm not at home at present - but I am enjoying reading posts as they come up.

I am so glad you're back and active, Nogrod.

-- Foley

littlemanpoet · 06-04-2012, 03:22 PM

Please excuse me from the story construction for a couple days - father is in hospice and I am far from home, my time is not my own. I will post a for Eodwine in a couple days.

Nogrod · 06-04-2012, 03:52 PM

I'm in no position to judge anyone being off a day or two. And you seem to have more than a good reason for being absent. There is time for fictional characters to the end of the world but not to the real ones.

All my well-wishes to you and your dad. Against the call of Dylan Thomas I do hope he goes gently into that good night.

Galadriel55 · 06-04-2012, 07:09 PM

What Nogrod said. There is no hurry to post, and this should be the last thing on your mind at a time like this. And you know that you have our well-wishes and support, as small as it is, all the time.

littlemanpoet · 06-21-2012, 07:06 PM

Robin? Hmmmm..... where I come from (Michigan) you don't see robins until March, but Rohan is kinda more like France or Missouri for latitude, I suppose. Yeah, I can go with that.

littlemanpoet · 06-22-2012, 04:09 PM

G55, would you please change your post a wee bit? I was planning on precisely the kind of thing as you describe ..... up until he sets him down. There was something I wanted to have happen before he sets him down. If you could just cut away that ending, I'd appreciate it.

littlemanpoet · 06-23-2012, 01:54 PM

Thanks!

Hope you like it.

littlemanpoet · 07-08-2012, 05:53 AM

Ugh. I have seen all together too many 'giving birth' scenes on tv. They're all the same. Sorry.

I was thinking more along the lines of outlawry, but on a bigger scale. I realize it's early in the 4th age, but I find it quite interesting that Tolkien imagined youths "playing orc" and such....
