I have been waiting for an opportune moment to post for over a week now, but find it hard to do so with the "saves" and Bethberry's post far ahead of where the thieves seem to be yet.
I will be glad to tie things together 'loosely' and end the game, but do not want to upset anyone's personal interest. Please let me know what is to be done, Lug PS: Bethberry, I sent you a PM. I hope it did not get lost, but I understand if you'd like to reply to it at leisure. |

Deorlin's MIA. PM Sadbh (who seems to be his sister) for details, but unless we hear differently, I'd say we'll be missing him for a few days.

Sabh told me to man Deorlin's character, probably for the rest of the RP, so I will attempt to do so.
I send my best wishes and a healing chant to Deorlin. Sabh: tell him to relax and to not get himself further hurt by trying to do things he is not able to do (such as trying to sit up long enough to type on a computer in Role-Playing Games)! My love and wishes to you and Deorlin!

While there has been some good recent interest, this game is lagging on way, way too long. It was intended to be a two-week bit of fun during the holidays. And now that people are back to a regular schedule, we seem to be having great difficulties with consistent posting and coordinating strategy. A short game requires focus and concentration and for various reasons that is becoming more and more difficult. No one's fault--RL just intrudes rudely at times.
This is quite frustrating for everyone, I'm sure. I see some recent interest, but doubt if this is enough. I am quite tempted to tell Lug to do a wrap up post. If I don't see concerted work bringing events up to the place where the thieves take the barge across the river by Tuesday, January 28 at 10 pm BD site time, Lug and I will post a conclusion and I will close the game on Wednesday. (Events can be handled through a 'flashback' post at the site I placed everyone. See my most recent post on the Rohan RPG as Ulfwine for an example of a flashback post.) There's been many great posts and interesting characters in the game. I've enjoyed gaming with those of you who are new here and with those I've gamed with before. I hope to see you again in new games. Bethberry

GAH! My life has suddenly become a turbulent sea of frothy frothiness. My brother (Deorlin) had an emergency on Thursday and went into surgery (coincidently the same day my newest sister was born- fun fun). Absolutely no lie! Really!
And now on top of it I find out my child is the heir of Slytherin and why didn't I know this? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Have you had somebody check out your fevered forehead, Garen?( [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]) Maybe if I stick my head into a Belgian waffle iron I can squeeze a post out... I don't really know. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Argh! Brain... ceasing... function... oh wait, not yet, anyways. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Zoinks! Better post big climatic 'confrontation-with-guard-of-Gondor' thing for Maikadurion...drum roll please everybody! *crosses her fingers in the hope that her idea for drawing the 'planned' - and I stress the word planned - saga to a close works*

I'm at work, using a computer I'm actually not allowed to use, so I'll make this short!
Changing the broken parts in my computer, made the entire system break down and it wouldn't even start. I have someone working very hard on the problem, but I may be without a puter for a day or maybe the rest of the week. Which means that I can't really participate any longer. Bethberry, all, I'm so very sorry. Good luck with the rest of the Ride. If I can't make it back to kill Rhana myself, please give the little b*tch what she deserves, OK? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

However you want Izręnna and Deorlin to meet up with you is fine with me. I don't know whether Deorlin would mind his character dying, but I do not think he would. I just do not want to be the one to kill him off...
They are nearing you now, so it should not take too long on the way back to meet up with them again...

Sadbh, please give Deorlin our wishes for a speedy recovery. I hope he can return to the Downs soon.
Kiara is ill again, so Lug will be carrying her character. Once he and I have confirmed the specifics, and once all those saves are filled in, he and I will post and then I'll close the game. PM me if you have any last minute requests. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] No more posts now unless from Lug or me. Then, we're history. Best wishes All. Bethberry

That feels like life renewed to a destitute leper who was unable to use his pen! I will be easily able to coordinate this with you and provide suitable closure to this perilous jaunt. I will follow after your post tomorrow. Also, thank you for your kind PM and salutary advice. |

*plays the Funeral March on air violin* RIP Maikadurion son of Théomer! May your time in the Grey Havens be one of peace and happy memories, and may you find the family you lost as a child once more. *has a weird feeling only she feels depressed at this necessary killing-off*
Just a query: do Elves go to the Grey Havens when they die or not? My Middle-earth knowledge is a little sketchy currently... Edit: Oh wait, Maikadurion's not really an Elf (well, he is but he isn't, if you know what I mean)...but I'm guessing he probably wouldn't go to the Grey Havens 'cause he's mortal [ February 01, 2003: Message edited by: Airerűthiel ]

OK, I'm finally somewhat back up and running.
Looks like I'm not of much use here, though. Airerűthiel , loved your post. A bit of a surprise, I must say. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

I finally filled my save! I apologise for the length: Gryphon and I have combined our contributions and I did not notice how long our augmented post was until we were finished. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Sorry people!
Airerűthiel I hope you did not mind me making your character do something heroic before he dies. Like, being half-elven, I expected him to do something really cool before the end. Too bad that his brother had to be his doom. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Quote:

Greetings All,
I 've been waiting for those SAVE posts to be filled in. Airerűthiel, nicely done indeed. You handled our "back room" planning really well. And you actually now have another character to present at The Horse! Clever. Lugbúrz, that was a very well done first post. I anticipate there will be one more from you, wherein your character deals the final blow. Because the game is concluding, I have asked Estel and Gryphon Hall to edit their very nicely interlaced post so that their characters die--OR, at the very least, the post must be vague and equivocal, so that there is no clear statement of whether they live or die. There is no time, unfortunately, to recover them and work with the final scene as well. My next post will see Izrenna and Deorlin catch up to Ćlfritha and Malienna. Deorlin will exsanguinate by the river side while Izrenna, Malienna, and Aelfritha fight with the strange Gondorian. He will kill Izrenna and Malienna, but will be stopped from killing Ćlritha as well by Anglalchel's arrival. Anglachel, as a merchant headed for Gondor, will know this man, and the two will depart for Gondor, leaving Aelfritha alone. Thus, I have one post for this fight, Lugburz will then post the end to the thieves and make clear who stole the horses, and then I will have the final post of Ćlfritha returning alone to The White Horse. I assume Lugbúrz will be able to make his post sometime before Thursday, February 6, when I will close the game and move it to Elvenhome. Everyone is welcome to come to The White Horse this weekend, for a gathering when Ćlfritha returns there, to celebrate a successful game. We had many interruptions, and many kinds of interruptions, but everyone covered from them well. Again, if anyone has any questions or concerns, PM me. (Psst, this might mean Maika and Aman.)

Lol, very subtle hint there Bethberry. Well, my computer is being a but wierd at the moment and I can only seem to be able to open a certain amount of windows, so I cant open the PM window right at the moment. Just one question; what exactly are we meant to be doing now on the RP?

Bethberry,
Yes, I was hoping to have one more post after you bring the pursuers on par. Depending on how you place them, I will deal with them appropriately. If you would like me to carry the characters instead, just allude to it in your post and I'll try to barge into them. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I have a rather tragic scene in mind for the end, glad you liked the first post. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] |

Read my posts above, Aman. It's all laid out. I was giving you and Maika the option, since Maika's computer was broken, of making a final post if you had alread planned something.
Lug, I will postion us and then you can finish your work. I look forward to seeing your post. Bethberry

*Claps for Bethberry, even before she sees the actual post* Bravo! This sounds just as good as the fight scenes in "Gangs of New York" (that was such a good movie)!

Estel the Descender, thanks for your help with the Middle-earth afterlife - that was very useful information to me. Also, no of course I don't mind you making Maikadurion do something heroic just before he dies - it fits his personality.
Bethberry, am I right in presuming that 'the strange Gondorian' you mentioned in your second-to-last post is Maikadurion's brother? Just asking out of curiosity...

No, Airerűthiel. The brothers' fight took place away from this scene of action. I am assuming that there is a Gondorian guard who watched the river bank as the barge took off as extra protection. His job was to ensure there were no witnesses.

If anyone has been inadvertently left out or something is amiss, please let me know. I will most likely be able to edit the post one time before the thread is closed.

That was beautiful Lugburz. That was really a fantastic end post. And Rhana dying in Kanes arm....*wipes away real tears, no I am quite serious...*
Its been a pleasure playing with you all, a first time playing with most of you, all but two methinks. I look forward to playing with any or all of you again. Farewell my friends, fellow horse thieves and those who followed, farewell.

*applauds* Well done to all the game members for a fantastic game! This was my first true Rohan game (well, apart from The White Horse), and my first time playing with all but two of you. Great pursuers, great horse thieves, great storyline and most of all great characters and writing. Once again, absolutely brilliant and good luck to you all!

Thank you All for wonderful work. We faced odds of wargs, weather, more villains than we expected, and very frustrating RL interference. But we made it! I enjoyed gaming with all of you on this, Rohan's first completed RPG.
Party at The White Horse tomorrow night. I'm closing the thread now. Bethberry
