No. I was in a Kill Bill mood, and i borrowed that line from the trailer for Vol 2. "When i get to my destination, im gonna Kill Bill" thought it added an appropriate touch to her mindset.

[Everdawn]

OK guys, just another reminder that saves are supposed to be up within 24 hours of posting. (I know we sometimes break the rules, i have on a few occasions) But try and have them up, sometimes people just post and forget about it, makes more work for the mods deleting them is all.

[Eorl of Rohan]

Two days more, and the exam will be over. Just two days more and I will be back fully... Although I do admit that it would be very fun if Maen turned out to be the real traitor. *makes no sense whatsoever*

[Everdawn]

Oh you just wait, there are plenty of shocks in store for you all.

[Everdawn]

Well I will be there thats for sure!


Ok guys, we are looking to finish this on May 22. That gives us 3 weeks. Is this a porblem for anyone?

[Hama Of The Riddermark]

No, three weeks sounds good...

[Everdawn]

Where is everyone?

[Everdawn]

Guys?

[Hama Of The Riddermark]

Yes?

[piosenniel]

OK – For all intents and purposes, the Barrow-Downs’ birthday party is nearly done. Let’s start thinking about bringing this game into the home stretch.

Everdawn wrote this on 4/25, Post #230:

Maén kicked Hittai and both horse and rider set off at a fast pace galloping across the dry grassland yards ahead of the rest. To the north east just out of view was the hills of Emyn Arnen, by looks the company had by passed it on the other side of the Anduin, for they had gone very far south. On the other side of the Anduin, the company was still north of Pelargir. She was sure that they would make it to their destination by nightfall, which would mean that they would have to camp, for there was no inn until Jacobe’s Run, a place which Maén was sure that there was another more local name for, though she did not know it.

And here is the last bit of outline I could find posted:


**** Find one letter saying that the last place he was living in Ithilien, confirming Aunt Lysia’s suspicions..

- DONE

---------------------------------------------------------------------

**** Travel to Osgiliath

– THIS HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED CORRECT?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

**** Two guards of Minas Tirith begin to collaborate behind Maén’s back.

- CAN ONE OF THE MINAS TIRITH GUARDS DO A POST SETTING THIS UP – DISCUSSING THE PLANS ELESSAR HAS FOR THEM CONCERNING IL GALOTH

---------------------------------------------------------------------

**** Company stay in a small village as they all try and collect info, traveling south-east.

- THIS IS WHERE YOU APPEAR TO BE HEADING AT THE MOMENT – TO THE INN AT JACOBE’S RUN

– CAN SOMEONE TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND POINT EVERYONE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

- ANOTHER OR THE SAME PLAYER CAN DO A SUMMING-UP-THE-RIDE POST AND ACTUALLY GET YOU ALL TO THE INN

---------------------------------------------------------------------

**** One wealthy man, an old guard from the war, hears of their venture in the market and invited them to stay a night at his estate with himself and his son. And tell them what he knows.

THIS WILL HAPPEN ONCE YOU GET TO JACOBE'S RUN-

---------------------------------------------------------------------

** From there it is a short write to the surprising end of the game, I think

---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I am opening another RPG the first week in June, and this game needs to be done by then to free up both my schedule and allow the players in this game to play in the next game if they so desire.

Thanks!

[Everdawn]

I changed Osgiliath to Jacobe's Run. Dont freak out guys!

Thanks Pio!

[Everdawn]

I will right a post which will get us to Jaocbe's Run and the meeting with the suspicious old man... could he have a son? Who are they? Does Maén have something to say? Do they know where Guriel is? All these questions and more answered soon!

[Eorl of Rohan]

0_o And I must inform you all that my examination period is over, and Ferethor is back to full stretch with a flurry of posts.

I've learned somewhat abotu roleplaying since on other board,s Pio, and I hope not to disappoint you again. ^^;;

It's going to take a while to read all the posts that have been done in my absence, though.

[Crystal Heart]

To all whom have journyed this far:

Hello to everyone. I do apologize for not posting in here as of late, but I did not have anything to add to the discussion.

However, I do have something that I would like to address at this moment to Atharen.

Atharen are you still with us? You haven't posted in a while and I was wondering if the plot between Miss Crystal and Lord Atharen would continue. She has asked you to name her horse and they have ridden up to Maen when she stopped in Jacobe's field. I do hope that you will post soon.

To question what Pio typed previously may I ask what the other RPG is about? Will you release the name or is that not allowed. I was just wondering and I do desire to join in the next RPG.

~Your comrade,

Crystal Heart-sword maiden of Rohan

[piosenniel]

The game that is coming up next is on the planning thread called 'Bloodstained Elanor'.

You can look at it there, but please don't post to that thread - it is only for the use of those planning the game.

~*~ Pio

[Kransha]

Hullo, ye all.

Since it's been a while since I posted, I shall take Pio's initiative and get everyone to the outskirts of Jacobe's Run village. Someone else may transport us into the inn, but I'll handle that much, if no one minds, since I have most of a post written up.

I imageine by GAROTH you meant GALOTH
And Aeronir, you meant AELIMUR ?

[Amanaduial the archer]

I did wonder about the 'Aeronir' thing - I had to come off just before I asked on the discussion though.

[Kransha]

The hiatus has its ill effects.

One Question: Is there to be a camp-out in the wild before the group arrives at Jacobe's Run, or is straight there from the field everyone is galloping through?

[piosenniel]

Kransha

If the moderator can have a say here - Please get the group straight to Jacobe's Run.

You can mention a camp-over if you wish in your post, but just get the group to their needed destination.

Thanks!

~*~ Pio

[Kransha]

Alrighty, Pio and others, I have gotten the fellow/galship (take that, political correctness!) to the outskirts of Jacobe's Run. Everdawn, if the description of the village is not to your liking, please say so. Also, everyone else, I did take some liberties with other characters, and have engaged them in a bit of sporting, on-trek/track fun. I think Idruil's starting to feel like the 'ice' has been broken between him and everyone else, here's to hoping they feel the same.

[Amanaduial the archer]

I've edited and reposted after Kransha - lovely post by the way, Kransha - and I am at about the same time at the end of my post as at the end of Kransha's post: we are approaching J'sR at a brisk pace, and will be there in say half an hour?

I hope this is alright. And Crystal, my dear, I apologise if Miss Heart felt that Atharen was neglecting her - anything but, my dear

[Crystal Heart]

That's alright Atharen. Just wondering if you were.

Au revior!

-Crystal Heart-Sword maiden of Rohan

[Eorl of Rohan]

Yes, I did. -grins sheepishly to Crystal's mild objections-
Give me a break, I'm not a genius in memorizing names.
-trudles off to edit my post-

[Everdawn]

I was going to type more, but i decided not to. Leave it with a cliffhanger. I want to see how the characters may react. BTW it is not Guriel.

[Eorl of Rohan]

Ouch. I hate cliffhangeers, they leave me bouncing up and down on edge pining for more.

[Everdawn]

Ok, answer must be Yes. Becuase this is hte beginning of the final phase.

[Hama Of The Riddermark]

Well I've given a bit more insight into Roryn's thought patterns, perhaps surprising some of you. Roryn is an observant old man, and he doesn't just let things pass by in his mind.

[Eorl of Rohan]

Wait.. Roryn is old? How old is him, more then forty?

[Hama Of The Riddermark]

I can't remember how old I put him down for, but it wouldn't make sense for him to be under fifty five or sixty...

[Everdawn]

I think weve lost Melisil.

[Amanaduial the archer]

All information about all of the characters is on the profiles on the first page of the discussion

[Eorl of Rohan]

But... 60?

[piosenniel]

From Hama's Character Bio:

NAME: Roryn

AGE: 45

RACE: Human

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: A bow, a quiver of arrows and a sword.

APPEARANCE: Looks weary, as if he is twice as old as he really is . . .

[Hama Of The Riddermark]

Hm...right...I suppose that could work, take it as if he's 45. That's quite old for middle earth anyhow considering the average life expectancy was about 60 in those sort of days...

[Hama Of The Riddermark]

Oh, I posted a long decription of Roryn bahting, and then seeing Crystal. If you want me to change anything, jsut say, Crystal. Personally though I quite like it, but it's really up to you...

[Everdawn]

Ok guys, Ive sent a PM to Melisil but her box is full as has another game owner of a game she is in. The other game owner says she hasnt heard from Melisil in a while. So im taking it that she may not be back by the end of the game. Could someone perhaps carry Aelimur along? Eorl, would it work best with you two being the guards?

[Crystal Heart]

Roryn-I just read over your post. I must agree and have continued with it. I really enjoyed reading your post. I hope you enjoy reading mine.

Atharen this is message is for you- As you may have currently read Crystal has finally told him what is troubling her. My, you are making it difficult aren't you? lol I am just kidding. If there is anything wrong with the post please tell me ASAP so I may fix it accordingly.

A tout a l heure!
(Until next time)

-Crystal Heart-

[Amanaduial the archer]

There - I reposted See what you think, Crystal especially.

However, just one thing...I am a little confused by the way all of you seem to know about Crystal and Atharen's love, even though they themselves were not sure. Obviously Roryn and Iduril were told, but the rest...I don't know. It just seems a little silly that they all immediately and definitely know just like *snap* that.

[Crystal Heart]

Atharen-oh my goodness! I LOVED IT! *applauses* I hope you'll like my post as well.

I also agree the two we told know, but how does everyone know automatically? We didn't even know (our characters I mean)
