Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!

Eodwine will ask Nydfara, "why did you keep yourself hidden and only come when Dan brought you?"

Firefoot, what would Nydfara's answer be?
He will reply that he is a wanderer unaware of recent news and unaware of the Eorl's arrival to the area, and that he did not know that the armed man who called after him was more than a brigand.

Post up. All the usual fine-prints about abused characters apply... ie. see me and I will fix.

Groin and Gwathagor, you have the use of Náin until such time as Thorden and/or Eodwine show up to discuss the masonry and construction. Gwath mentioned to me that Crabannan and Náin might have met in Dale. If so, Náin's memory has yet to be jogged, but it could be interesting if it is... I doubt my Dwarf would care much for Crabby, though, and in any case, he's likely to side with Erbrand more than Crabannan where Kara might be concerned.

I can't give you all day, though, because Náin's first priority is to stonework, so when Thorden or Eodwine join or send for him, he'll be off for that. How long that takes... well... let's let the day decide.

As far that goes, LMP and Foley, I have ideas that can easily result in an opinionated Dwarf-mason thinking they've made a good start, but that there's a whole lot of improvement that can be made if Eodwine wants a truly grand burg, which should play well into Foley's hopes for more stone-seeking. And, in any case, given the numbers involved in Eodwine's camp, I highly doubt they would have enough cut stone, in a single month, to complete a Mead Hall. Maybe to start one... but Náin doubts it.

And... that's probably enough to be getting on with for now, but if Kath wants something to do other than bake and cook, Náin would probably be happy to see her, and wax lovingly on the Glittering Caves.

Not many people do, I think.

Oh, Form - Erbrand and Crabannan are not at the kitchen. They are outside of their tents. I'm afraid that messes up your post a bit. Sorry!

Form! I'd completely missed that you were back! I'm so glad, Kara would indeed love to chat with her old Dwarf friend. I'll let Gwath and Groin have him for a little and then come interrupt.

Form: Don't forget to use Garstan as Náin's helper as he's the stonecrafter and Celuien is not with us anymore (until some later date I hope). So feel free to use him. I'm sure Celuien would not be offended as she gave already myself and Lommy the "right" to use him and his children. And that's professional stuff anyway between Náin and Garstan - and why not bring back old memories or whatever?

Foley: I'll pay heed to your expertise on horses and try to incorporate that on my next post as well as I can... Let the present situation between the kids evolve. It seems it's not perfect but there sure are good leads...

And here I thought I'd taken such care... not to worry, though, I can emend to compensate--I think.

Aye sir. Not that I planned to leave Garstan in the cold, though. He is, as you say, the local stonecutter and all.

EDIT: And... edited. Thank you, Gwath. I think that the change in situation actually suits Nain's character a bit better than joining them at table did.

Just take it on from this (my latest post that is) Foley!

I've left the guys in a situation that might bring us... well anywhere. So only personal relations stuff or whatever you come up with why their horses backed away...

Noggie, I guess I'm dense. What's the anguish for? Did they shoot Javan by mistake? Or one of their own horses?

Well I thought it would be up to Foley to decide... but I must say neither of those were along the list of possible explanations I had entertained myself...

But you might be right about the word 'anguish' being a bit strong one. Depending on what Foley comes up with as the explanation I can change the term to fit the mood better. So it's up to you Foley - I can edit the last sentences to fit your post later.

Excellent post, Nogrod. Quite interesting. I'll write sometime and decide exactly what is happening.

Anguish may not be appropraite for just now, but I guess we'll find out.

Can't write any more now. So long.

Kara is very keen to speak to Nain but her writer is leaving the country for two weeks and is very unlikely to have net access. I was going to have her interrupt once Crabannan and/or Erbrand had spoken to Nain but as that seems not to be happening I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to interrupt and then leave Form hanging for two weeks, but I don't want the opportunity to be missed either.

Ideas anyone? If the stand off is still going by the time I'm back then no worries.

Well, depending on how quickly Gwath and Groin get to posting, and myself to replying... being gone two weeks may not be a problem much.

On the other hand, there are still the noon meal and the evening meal. Náin will be back to eat then, and perhaps that would be a more fitting moment for Kath to meet her old Dwarf friend. It has the advantage of allowing Náin to proceed after some "pleasantries" (long or short) with Erbrand and Crabannan, and possibly might allow the whole lot of them stew somewhat over whatever this "Kara issue" is that Crabby has brought up, in time for a more explosive reaction when Kara does turn up--assuming Erbrand and Crabannan turn up at said later meal.

Could just be the goblin in me, but I rather like explosives in my RPGs.

Ha ha! I look forward to really getting into the thick of this!

Unfortunately, I'm working 14-hour days this week (), and will not be able to post until this weekend at the earliest.

Nogrod or Lommy can take it from there. I DID write a post where nothing really happened and Javan just scolded them, but then I decided it'd be more interesting and would make more sense if something else happened...explain the boys' anxiety a little. This may do it.

They should be happy it wasn't someone else. Garstan's nice.

Sorry about that Gwathagor, I was thinking about making them friends but then I thought that Crabannan's hellraising attitude wouldn't sit well with Erbrand's mild manners.

It depends on what Dan is good at, for the most part. If he has no preferences, then he would be used where most needed. If it makes it more interesting, Dan could be used for stone moving one day, tree hauling another, hunting for another, bellows pumping another, and so on.

Since nobody took up the cue I offered in my post of Harreld, I removed it.

No time to post right now.

I'm bringing in Degas today. I meant to post before work (two o'clock) but the post is waxing long and it's time to leave. So some time tonight (I finish work at 9:30) I'll finish up and post.

Well, Gwath, it's all yours... Náin is getting twitchy, but he's not quite set to blow, unless Crabannan decides to push all his buttons. Most likely, though, unless Crabannan manages to say exactly all the right things (which I must say would be uncharacteristic of him), Náin's likely to head off grumble-minded and ripe for a re-encounter in the mid-afternoon or sometime (when, perhaps... Erbrand and Kara might somehow be involved. That should work for Kath's schedule of return, methinks.

As always, if I've misportrayed your characters, by all means, let me know.

*cough*

Yeah, it's me again.

So, Fea's post leads into Náin, so I'm going to run with that...

Sorry, Gwath, I guess Crabannan's off the hook for the moment, unless he wants to tag along. This just works too well with Náin's itinerary for the day of surveying the grounds and stones and whatnot.

So Crabannan does not have to explain or distort anything yet... though he can certainly percolate over the issue until later, and I assure you that the mid-afternoonish, or lunchish, or wheneverish encounter is not off the books.

We'll just have to wait and savour it.

Unless Crabannan comes up with an excuse to tag along, of course.

Gwath, feel free to jump in where I've left an opening 'for' Formy. Or somebody else can come interrupt. I just wanted to tease Form a little, since we were chatting as I finished up the post. The idea is simply to build suspense for Degas by delaying his meeting with Eodwine and his knowledge of Saeryn/his home. The longer I can keep him uninformed, the more desperate he will become for answers. And desperate people are fun to write. And, I suspect, to read.

Looks like we've crossposted, Fea, since I've already put a reply up. I know, though, that you're offline, so this shouldn't happen again--tonight. (Well, unless you just can't stand me and made yourself invisible to get away.)

Anyway, the end of my post is fairly wide open--wider than my last post here suggested it would end up. So, Gwath, as utterly confused as you could be becoming the way this thread has gone... you can do whatever you want now. Crabannan can stick acround, and bug Náin with his presence, or he can get out while the going's good. He can find Thorden or Eodwine... or lead us down some detour we don't expect... or he can get away from that mess and go bug Harreld about Ginna.

*contended sigh*

I really missed RPGing, I think.

It looks like your characters reputation precedes himself, Gwathagor. Quickly, make friends with the newcomer, Degas, before he is influenced by the rumors! I really like the way that this is turning out; very exciting stuff.

I (finally) finished my post. Sorry it took so long.

Formendacil....my character's name is Thornden, with an 'N' before the 'D'.

I'm so glad to see so much activity! I'm so glad Fea and Form came back, harrah!

Oh dear... and I know that too. Still, I remembered the other "n", so I'm not completely useless.

I'll go fix that...

So what exactly is going on today at Scarburg? I know that we have to start building the hall with the stones from the scar, but has Eodwine, or anyone els, found out who burnt the hall?

How could anyone find out? And was it not merely a bunch of angry serfs?

I'm back (said Sam).

Eodwine doesn't expect to find out who burned the old hall down. Maybe Nydfara/Scyld knows? More likely, Oeric knows. (?)

Now to go read everything.

EDIT: Okay, I've read everything. And I've posted for both Harreld and Eodwine. Foley & Noggie, I've corralled your characters Thornden and Stigend into my post. One (or both) of you may have your character reply to Eodwine's query.

Feanor, I've just noticed that you've got us (Crabannan, Nain, etc.) in a tent, when we are in fact just outside of a tent. I'm sorry I didn't catch that earlier.

Allow me to go take advantage of that sacred thing which is called editing...

I got a post in. Sorry for having Erbrand break away from Dan so quickly Eonwe. I wanted to get Erbrand out of everyone's way because I'll be leaving on August 4th for a family reunion up in Yankee country and I won't be back until the 12th. So, y'all can expect me back around the time that Thinlomien is back.
