When will it be morning in Stock? Unless someone finds him first (which would be both interesting and cool), my elf will probably regain consciousness around breakfast time.

Well, I'm not sure. If you killed a wolf (as your post nearly indicated, but didn't make entirely clear), it was probably the one keeping Forest Elf's elf and a hobbit in the trees, so perhaps those characters could find you. Otherwise, we can wait until morning.

I'm not entirely sure what happened, actually. I don't think he killed it, and I don't think it was an ordinary wolf. It may have been a kind of lesser werewolf, a nasty bad wolf-spirit, or something like that, which is why it disappeared when the clouds covered the moon. Regardless of exactly what it is, it's probably behind the larger wolf problem in the East Farthing. Sort of an arch-wolf-beast, and the other wolves are his minions...hmmm.

What if this elf made it possible for Forest Elf's character and Sallkid's hobbit to escape? I think that would be best - even if it wasn't an entirely ordinary wolf.
I'd really appreciate it if these wolves were driven from Stock, though. It's not exactly bookish for them to be invading the Shire. -- Folwren

Gwathagor
Hang on, my dear fellow. You are rather anxious - and I would be, too, with such a character to use - but we can't move time on yet! I fear I must ask you to withdraw the last post for a little while, and when it comes time to progres to the next day, I will let you be the first to know and you can start it for us. Don't get rid of the post entirely, of course. Save it on a seperate document on your computer and keep it until it's time. Thanks for your patience! -- Folrwen

Not yet. Soon. Give us a few days at least. Please.
It takes a while to play stuff out on the Inn thread. Real RPGs (preferably) move a bit faster. -- Folwren

I am sorry, Gwathagor. I truly, honestly meant to write and say go ahead yesterday, but I forgot completely. Life has been nuts.
Go ahead. Dunwen, check your PMs. -- Folwren

I am sorry for not posting for a long time... My mom went on a rant that role playing games are addicting...and yadda. So she has to read the posts or something before I can post again. Sorry
Ha! This is post 123...hehehe, sorry.

All right, I would like to introduce my character to the Inn:
NAME: Rorimac (Rory) Pincup-Brandybuck (for the explanation of this unusual connection see below) AGE: 43 RACE: Hobbit GENDER: Male WEAPONS: none APPEARANCE: Tall (for a hobbit), very light brown hair and blue eyes. Wears always clean white shirt (thanks to his wife) and leather breeches when he is on his journey, along with a straw hat and a red scarf around his neck. His pony, Buttercup, is sorrel-coloured middle-aged pony. PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Hand-minded and capable to quickly learn. Is afraid of water and cannot swim, despite his family's roots. He also does not like animals much, except for his pony who had been his companion for several years. Very curious and quick-witted, especially when it comes to rumors. Also very loud and talkative, always voicing his opinions and commenting current events. He considers himself very clever and his own advices good for everyone. This has a downside, as he lacks the empathy to understand those who are around him. HISTORY: His parents lived in Pincup where they moved after their marriage, but the family still maintains connection with their Buckland relatives. His father is a carpenter of great renown, at least among the dwellers of Pincup. Rorimac had always great interest in the local events, listened to all the gossip and he knows practically everyone in the village. When he was younger, he helped his father in the carpenter job; later, he started to work as carter with his friend Andy Hornblower. Few years ago he married Poppy Brockhouse, his friend's brother-in-law's sister. They are expecting their first child now. Recently, Rory was appointed to deliver a set of knives made by Mr. Banks at Pincup to Bucklebury, so he decided to connect his job with a visit of his relatives. Tell me when I am allowed to post in the Inn itself. (Concerning my entering scene, I would probably like to appear at the Inn itself, or could meet the others in the forest, though I would like to avoid any personal contact with the wolves...)

You can post in the inn now, my dear fellow. I'm glad you've come. I don't think Dick has followed the elf quite so quickly as the said elf would have liked (Dick's a hobbit, and hobbit's aren't fighting folk, you know), so he'll be there to meet your character, likely.

All right, it's there. I hope it's fine that I have expected the Innkeeper behind the bar, I considered that better than speak to the air.

NAME: Groin Redbeard
AGE: 36 (still very young) RACE: Dwarf GENDER: Male WEAPONS: One right handed battle axe, which he keeps by his side at all times. APPEARANCE: Stands around 4'5ft tall, and has a stocky build. He has a long red beard down to his chest. He wears a brown woolen shirt under his decorated leather armor, and wears the helmet, that his father gave to him. PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Like most Dwarves, Groin is strong headed and strong willed. He is slow to anger, but can carry a grudge. He adores children. Groin relies on his strength more than anything else, something which, sometimes, gets him into trouble. He is not afraid to fight or argue for what he believes. HISTORY: Groin was born in the Dwarven colony of the Iron Hills, near Esgoroth. While groing up he idolized his father, and was broken hearted when a Warg attacked and crushed his dad when Groin was twenty-two. He cared for his mother until she remarried, at the age of ninety-six. He set out from the Dwarven colony when he was at the ripe age of thirty-one. He slowly traveled westward, in hopes of one day meeting his childhood friend Grioger, who moved to the Blue Mountains to live with his uncle. Grion fell in love with the Eraidor countryside, and plans to, one day, settle down here. Sorry that I didn't bother to read the rules before I posted. If you like you can take it off and I can enter the way you guys want me to.

Groin,
Welcome to the Golden Perch! Your character descriptions looks great! I hope to post in the Inn sometime today. I'm sadly behind. -- Folwren

Tabby,
I'm so sorry to hear it. I was looking forward to reading more of your characters. However, as Dunwen said, don't give up writing altogether. Continue writing for your own pleasure - it's a huge enjoyment if you get to love it as much as I do. I'll see you about the Downs in other places. -- Folwren

I'm ready to make anothe post. I was just wondering if it would be alright if I used Treffic (Dicks son) in it.
Hey Tabby, I've read the Golden Perch Forum and I think your writing is great. Please come back if your mom lets you!

Fortinbras,
Yes, you may join the thread and the game! Read the first few posts on this thread, write a character description, and join in. It would also be good to read the Red Book of rules. Welcome! ---- Groin, I read your post...and I had thought that you'd be using Taffy differently. He doesn't work at the inn yet - still a bit young for that - change the serving hobbit to Tollers, will you? That's Tevildo's character and he is a server at the inn. Thanks! -- Folwren

I promise I'll try to involve other people in my next post. The elf is having a bit of a poignant moment right now. He's remembering some important stuff, and getting in touch with his inner self, but he'll be back to normal in no time. He might even kill the rest of the wolves.

Shh, Gwathagor, you forgot to remove your sig from the post...
(Personally I always do it forwards before I start writing, there is less chance that one forgets about it later.)

Now folks, my character is more or less on the leave, but anyone feel free to stop him if you wish. Either you, Groin, might want to say something else to him, or Gwathagor, if your elf awakens from his letargy, he can intervene and warn Rory that it's not as safe around as he thinks. He's going to depart whatever the case, but you may delay him and accompany him at least part of the way and in connection with this go and get rid of some remaining wolves. But it's up to you, I'm saying this only that you don't get bound by his leaving. If you want, you may still make some contact with him, otherwise, he simply leaves.

My character will be absent for a little bit, since he's taking a long walk and probably won't be back until dusk. I'll lay low for a couple days so everyone else gets a chance to post in the thread without having me constantly writing.
Also I've noticed that I've been speaking for some of the other characters, and putting them in locations without asking them. I've edited my last post last post and I'll try to be a little more self conscious on those types of things. See y'all later!
