Per request of LMP, you players now have a place to plot and rant.
One question - do you want to close this game to new players? ~*~ Pio |

I'd prefer we keep just to the players we already have.
What do you other players think?

I agree.
And I offer to lead this rpg, since my plot line has sorta taken it over...... ![]() One thing else to establish is an end goal, so as we know when this is done. Options (off the cuff): * when we've written 12 days' worth. * when the animal-Quenya sequence, unwith sequence, Stamo/Mori sequence, and other sequences have run their course; which begs the question, what goals do you guys have for your characters? |

I'm sure we could use a number of those Yule days left to us to bring a close to the wight/Wenda scenario. I'm not sure we should drag it out much further than that. We can have sort of summing up epilogs at the end that bring us through the rest of the days and send our characters on.
As for old Goody - this will be her last Yule.

That makes sense to me, Undómë. I hope we hear from Arry, Envinyatar, and a lot of other folks, too.
I'm still not sure exactly how Wenda's going to come out in all this.... |

I'm in agreement about where to end the game - shortly after the resolve of the creature's demise.
I'd like not to tip my hand a lot concerning my two characters. They will certainly help against the creature, if those in the Inn have not figured out a way themselves. And I like the idea of the individual epilogs - where I can clear up a little of the mystery surrounding them.

My save is filled. Sorry for the delay - the weather seems to have made dialing up (and staying up) nigh to impossible the last day or two. I'm looking forward to the reactions. I'm sending the three reindeer in the general direction of where Goody seemed to be suggesting the Green Man is to be found - - - if such a thing is possible.... ?

Child . . . Owl
Wren's delivered some news to you which may be of interest to those gathered in the Inn.

I want to come up with a name for the Ent, but I haven't thought of any yet. This is NOT Treebeard even though it may sound like him. This is a fir-tree Ent, with appropriate soft but flowing and long-branched beard, and eyebrows with long needles for hair.
Any ideas? Nerindil, would you be willing to incorporate the Ent's "naming" into your next post? some possible names right off the top of my head (and they ain't great!): Windbranch Windbeam Greenbeard .... which has interesting confluences with the whole Green Man subtheme....I like this one best, but am open to more suggestions... |

Relative Strength of Our Bad Guy
I'm in a little bit of a quandary. We're talking about a former servant of Morgoth, a relatively high ranking one. "Cook" may not seem so high, but "Chief Torturer and Enforcer" is a different story. So what we have here is a Maia that is obviously not as great as Morgoth, and I'll say also not as great as Sauron. Were the Dragons more powerful than Balrogs, or vice versa? Gandalf the Grey fought a Balrog and barely won. Gandalf the White was about even with the Lord of the Nazgul. Our two Blue Istari are individually probably just a little weaker than Gandalf the Grey, and probably a reasonable bit stronger than Radagast. So I'm thinking that this evil Maiar is a good deal more powerful than one Blue Istari, but weaker than both together. Sound fair?

Sorry - I've been snowed under with work and other RL concerns.
I will most likely fill my SAVE tomorrow. I'm still trying to decide how far I'll take it.

Nerindel has not been around much. Her last activity anywhere was May 3.
This makes it difficult to do much wrapping up of anything. I'll PM her and see what I can find out. |

I will try to get the animals a bit more organized tomorrow (real time).

Tevildo and Wren - I've put up a general description of what the songbirds and cats are doing. If there are any problems with this, let me know.
I've also put up a save for the wolves that I hope to get at tomorrow. As the battle begins, please feel free to post your own individual battles with the wolves in addition to the intermittant descriptions I put up.

I guess my next post will be on the new Day, with Wenda and company returning to the Green Man. I can wait as long as you folks need me to before that happens.

I'm fine with moving forward to the new day, if everyone else is.

Tevildo the Cat is ready to move forward. Actually, the cat in the game is sound asleep and won't wake up till the next morning, so until you move I can't really post again for him!
