The real life has really thrown me here and there 24/7 for the last week (or two) but it should be over in two days or so.
Feel free to ride towards Tancred's estate in the meantime... if you wish. I'll try to come up with a post later this week with what lord Athanar is thinking about the visit - and what we might possibly expect from Tancred. It will be up to lmp to then deliver what Tancred will say and do, and if I read the signs right, he might have a surprise or two to us... Looking forwards to it! But anyway, keep up the discussions in Scarburg and on the road between the soldiers.

I will tonight, probably, Nogrod. It's just I've been so insanely busy lately it's not even funny...
-- Foley EDIT: I got a post up for the soldiers. Mnemosyne, I aim to post for Saeryn tonight or tomorrow. I'm about to head back to class and Saeryn's post is going to be more difficult for me to write. So sorry it's taking me so long.

Mnemosyne,
I posted something...it's not much and it may not be enough for you to go on. If it's not, let me know and we should decide what we want this tour to cover and what needs to be said. -- Foley

Thanks, Foley. I've been pretty much completely out of it/out of the loop for the past week, but things should start turning 'round in the next couple of days. (For proof of this, look at the time of this post and consider that I'm on EST.) Unfortunately, even though Wynflaed's really good at taking control of a situation and moving it forward, I'm not, and I'm not nearly familiar enough with the Meadhall or roleplaying in general to have a clear idea of where to go from here. So if we could work on something together I'd appreciate it.

Okay I'm here and sort of catching up with stuff. Planning to write something still today.
 I have to admit I haven't read the admin thread thoroughly, so bear with me if I ask stupid questions or do stupid stuff... And my apologies for not having been around. Somehow I seem to be able to divide my time and concentration in any sensible manner...

Just wondering...
since nothing has been said, should I assume that Wulfric and Wilheard have been ignored again? No one's given a thought if they should ride with the soldiers or stay in charge at Scarburg? Wulfric's going to be so happy - I can almost see him doing something stupid if not now then soon...   Now writing something for Modtryth.

Yeah so I couldn't resist bringing Falco Boffin back. I need enough characters to keep me busy when the going gets slow on the thread. What can I say?

You could say, "You're welcome."
I'm so excited! When I read your post, I exclaimed, "He brought Falco back!!" And my little sister laughed at me. Firefoot, should you post about Leof seeing him, or can I post something for Quin? -- Foley

I was going to post for Leof, but if you get to it first Quin can spot him.

K, sounds fine. I don't think I'll be able to post today - have a pretty busy work load here at work today. So whoever posts first does so, how's that?

Nogrod, if you're anywhere nearby, you may want to check the thread. It looks like your line of soldiers might be disintegrating. I haven't decided what to do with my soldiers....

Indeed so... and I have decided it's the time for me to post again, I've been neglecting it lately, so... I think Hilderinc is surprised enough by the Hobbit that in his immediate reaction he totally forgot about the order, too. It needs some commander to intervene, I'd say. But if somebody (especially from the "old Scarburgians" - or in the really dramatic case, maybe even Léof or Falco himself could hear him) wants to sort of explain to Hilderinc what is Falco doing there, I think they can do it now or later on the way, too.

I just love to wreak havoc by introducing new characters, plot developments, you name it.
Oh, and you're welcome. Glad to oblige. Let's see, are there other characters I could create just to satisfy my own personal whims? Just kidding. Eodwine, Harreld, Garreth, Falco, (and don't forget Rowenna), are plenty.  Great posts, Firefox & Legate ... and a touching one by Lhuna. Last edited by littlemanpoet; 12-11-2010 at 08:18 AM. |

Elempi, did you call Firefoot Firefox on purpose, or is it another typo?
I'm going to PM Mnemo again and maybe start writing another post for Saeryn and Wynflaed with her. As for Quin and Thornden and the other riders...you're right, Legate, in that a commander will probably have to intervene if the line is falling apart. I don't know who thought. Thornden may, if Durelin or Nogrod don't write first. But they still have time, because I'm not getting on to write a post probably for at least a day yet. -- Foley

Elempi, it doesn't really make sense for Falco to say he'd heard Eodwine was sick two months ago, since Eodwine's only been sick for a month... he fell sick in mid October and it's now mid-November.

Hi there and sorry about multiple delays...
At first I was just stuck with how to work out the situation from the POV of lord Athanar, but then the RL really shook me - and I still have a bunch of essays to read & all the Christmas things waiting. Quote:
My impression is that they could do at least two on one day and ride home for the night to reach the third on the next. We need to check the maps. Anyway, tomorrow I have no choir rehersals as they're over for this year and I'll try to use the time for reading & posting into the thread then. Now I need to go to sleep. Foley: Athanar's soldiers are disintegrating? Oh my... why is nothing working for him? Okay, I need to check on that as well - as well as on everything. Sorry. (seems to be a word I'm repeating time after time too often)

I have a post in progress for Thornden. will be up within an hour, I think.
EDIT: Scratch that. I posted now after all. Elempi, I had forgotten that Thornden and Falco didn't always get along until just now... I sincerely hope I did not cause any plans to be ruined for conversaton with the hobbit. I do realize I cut things pretty short pretty sharp, and I hope you all forgive me.

Here is the map I draw when we started. Looking at it, it would be possible to meet all three lords at the same day.
Judging lord Athanar's character, he would start with Tancred (who is also the nearest). It would be less than ten miles away. Back soon, hopefuly with a post as well (the documantary "The Cove" about the slaughter of the dolhins in Japan) starts right now in TV and I want to see it first.

Heh. Reading through the latest posts I was thinking of a gazillion of ways how lord Athanar would stop the riders and how he would react to a hobbit - only to finally read that Thornden acted on it a bit differently.
But as I've been away such a long time I think I'm the one to pick the spoon from here and take what is written as done. So we'll go this way. I'll post something short in a moment. Have you looked at the map? Tancred should be the one to the SE from Scarburg and not too far away. Would you lmp like to describe the estate or should anyone of us do it when we approach?

Haha, Folwren, if you wanted conflict I think you've got it. Leof's not too happy either.

Conflict was not my sole intent. Indeed, it was, if anything, of secondary importance to me while writing that post. I was annoyed that soldiers were falling out of formation and then imagined how that would transcribe to Thornden, being a leader, and how he was under a lot of stress recently, and then what he would be thinking if Athanar should find out that Leof, who Thornden had invited along without asking him first, was the one who broke his line.
And I am glad to see that you picked up his tone and attitude perfectly while writing your post of Leof's reflection. Well done. Nogrod - please take out what Thornden says about ,"I had to break the news to him." Thornden told Falco no news, except, "We can't stop" and that without even saying so. Also, I'm sorry if I wrote hastily or had Athanar act other than how you imagined it. :| Deeply sorry.

I can write the description of Tancred's holdings if someone doesn't beat me to it. I probably won't get a chance until tomorrow.

Hullo, folks. Who's around to post? I could post for Javan at the Mead hall and have him spot Falco trotting in, if you all would like...?
