We are slowing the Game down until this coming Monday due to the busy schedules of many of the posters.

Sunday evening, real time, hopefully, there will be a post by Sam (Orual) opening a meeting at the Inn concerning how the good citizens of the Hobbiton/Bywater area can jorganize to defend themselves against the Big Folk menace which has crept into the Shire.. I would like this to be two days game time from our present day (which is 24 Lotessë)- So, when we return to post on Monday it will be 26 Lotessë (27 Thrimidge S.R. - shire calendar)

We would like all of you to take an active part in the meeting voicing your opinions and suggestions about what you think the Hobbits should do to prevent any of their children from being kidnapped.

piosenniel · 03-30-2003, 09:31 PM

Please note the time shift forward of 2 days. It is now the day of the meeting: 26 Lotessë (27 Thrimidge S.R.)

piosenniel · 03-31-2003, 12:51 AM

I'm confused - what time of day is the meeting happening day or night?

And where is it happening? If it's at the 'Town Hall' where is that?

Child of the 7th Age · 03-31-2003, 07:02 AM

In an earlier post, Cami had specified the town hall in the evening. Sam suggests it's the town hall.

It definitely needs to be evening, since Stoatie is going to spy, and needs cover of darkness. I don't believe there was a town hall in the Third Age, but then there also wasn't a Locks in Hobbiton or Bywater, which I believe we have as well. (The original Locks was in Michel Delving.)

I mentally had them building a Hobiton/Bywater Locks in the early fourth age! Perhaps the City Hall was the same, or we can shift the meeting to the Inn. (The Inn might work better since Stoatie's initial goal is to spy on Pio, I think, and he would have heard she was there.)

Either way, we need to iron out the discrepency between Sam and Cami. Let us know.....

OK - it's evening - the meeting is at the Town Hall.

There are a few local lads in the Green Dragon having a heated discussion on their own, and drinking ale.

The nursemaid, Gilly Took has shown up and Pio has met her.

So, obviously Pio is not at the Town Meeting, which she shouldn't really be attending anyway.

Child of the 7th Age · 04-01-2003, 03:08 PM

White Lady,

Very nice post filled in the meeting sequence at 3/31, 7:17 p.m.

piosenniel · 04-02-2003, 07:17 PM

Here's the new character I'm introducing as the nursemaid for the twins:

Name: Gilliflower Took (Gilly) – the twin’s nursemaid

Age: 20

Race: Hobbit

Appearance: Average height for a Hobbit lass of her age. Dark brown curly hair, pulled back, and out of her way. Brown eyes, flecked with green. Given to borrowing her brother’s breeches and shirts when she’s out and about hiking the country around Waymeet.

Personality/Skills: A bright young woman, with a good sense of humor, not averse to stirring up a little trouble in a good natured way, ready and willing for any opportunity to 'see the world' outside the confines of Waymeet. Because she comes from a large family and is the eldest, she is very skilled at taking care of children – from infants to teens. Her only skills with weapons are her small carving knife, and her stout beechwood walking stick.

History: Eldest child of 12. Father - Everard Took; Mother – Mentha Brandybuck. From Waymeet, Westfarthing, The Shire. Since early childhood has had a great love for any stories concerning travels beyond the confines of her town or the Shire Bounds. She has always had the urge to leave the confines of her family and town and seek a little adventure and knowledge of the wider world. She has in fact left her family after a long, heated argument over her acceptance of Amaranthas’ proposal to come to Bywater to care for Pio's twins. She is pinning her hopes on being able to travel with Pio and Mithadan when they leave the Shire to return to Gondor. The thought of sailing on their ship with them is a secret desire of hers (She has learned much about Pio from Miz Amaranthas’ letters to her.)

Auriel Haevasawen · 04-03-2003, 09:48 AM

Odd things seem to be happening. First my post from yesterday about Stoatie running away and now the one above which I think was Pio's has gone. There is no 'post a reply' box or bottom of the page in general. Help,is it just my computer, or is everyone else afflicted likewise?

Is this the post that disappeared for you? I have it on my screen, along with all the buttons, and my previous post and latest post as Gilly. I'm thinking your computer is having a dread case of intermittent hiccups!

Child of the 7th Age · 04-03-2003, 07:28 PM

I am going to do a post this evening to show that the meeting has come to an end. I'll do this by having Maura go home to Cami, and speak with her about a few things that happened at the end of the meeting.

If anything wants to add anything else, just send it to me and I'll paste it in earlier.

Carrun has filled in his save from 3/31. Many thanks, Frodo Lad.

Pio ,

Bird is still following Stoat.

Then, I believe we're heading for the time compression next. Is that correct?

sharon

Child of the 7th Age · 04-03-2003, 07:36 PM

Orual

You still have one meeting save space. If you wanted, you could do the actual meeting wrap up. (Or anythng else for that matter!)

The one thing that wasn't mentioned before was having Rose Goodchild and Maura Tuk give some of the Shirelings basic weapons practice over in the party field.....

If you don't mention that in your post, I'll have Maura do that in his.

sharon

Child of the 7th Age · 04-03-2003, 11:52 PM

Orual,

Thanks for your note. I'll go ahead then and have Maura mention how the meeting ended.

Since your own save post will be largely Sam's reflections and thoughts, there shouldn't be much "overlap" between us.

sharon

piosenniel · 04-04-2003, 02:38 AM

Yes, as soon as we hear back from Bird - I'm going to compress time.

How far can I compress it? What needs to happen between now and the birth of the twins?

Child of the 7th Age · 04-04-2003, 10:37 AM

Pio,

This is how I remember it......

After the time compression, we should go immediately into the first kidnapping, and further questioning by the Shirriff of the prime suspects.

The birth of Pio's twins come within a few days after that.

Then there is a second time compression, much briefer, till about a week after the twins' birth, that leads into the second kidnapping, and related events.

piosenniel · 04-05-2003, 12:12 PM

At present, we are at the end of the month, Lotessë; the month following that is Narië, which like all the other months has 30 days.

My 'SAVED' post on the RPG will compress time to the early morning of 27 Narië.

Stoatie and B Ferny - this will be your cue to perform a nefarious deed around Hobbiton/Bywater - we'll keep the day at the 27th Narie for this.

Can we get the horrified reaction of the good citizens once this event has occured.

Sharon/ Mith - whoever would like to tackle this - after this kidnapping, someone needs to play the Shiriff and ride trusty Dumpling back to the Inn to accost the Big Folk - if you'ld like, he can show up on Mid-year day and Pio can break up his rant by going into labor.

Nurumaiel · 04-05-2003, 03:19 PM

Pio,
I suppose you would like the reaction of the poor Muddyfoot family, as well? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Am I correct in saying that Stoatie will actually do the work, and that Bill is only his 'boss'? Or will Bill be actually at the scene?

piosenniel · 04-05-2003, 04:13 PM

Tears and wails and the gnashing of teeth, Angelica!!!!

I think Stoatie will do the deed - but he should probably meet up with Ferny at the hideout wondering what they should do with the formidable toddler!!! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

piosenniel · 04-06-2003, 02:18 AM

We were in the month of Lotessë; Now we are in the following month, Nárië (which has 30 days). After 30 Nárië wil be Loendë, Mid-years day, and the twins birthday.

I have just compressed time about a month, to the early morning of 26 Nárië.(5 days from this is the birth of the twins)

Stoatie and B Ferny - Can you now perform a nefarious deed around Hobbiton/Bywater - we'll keep the day at the 26th Nárië for this.

Can we get the horrified reaction of the good citizens once this event has occured.

Mithadan,

Please see my pm.

Auriel Haevasawen · 04-06-2003, 02:36 PM

Yes, that was the post. Thanks Pio. Computer being checked as we speak. Borrowed a rather jazzy lap-top to keep up with things but have to return it to its owner regularly so they can use it to earn an honest crust. Therefore my postings may be even more sporadic than usual. Many apologies. If I have to return it just when my nefarious deed is required I will PM Nuru with my words or even put them here for someone else to post, hope that will be fine. I can delete once used. Did that make sense? How come nothing I say out of character ever makes sense? So sorry.

Child of the 7th Age · 04-06-2003, 04:57 PM

Sorry about your sick computer. Yes, if you need to, just post on the discussion thread and we will insert it where it fits best in the game. The next big thing is kidnapping #1. ( BTW, either Pio or I can then delete the duplicate post from the discussion thread.)

Good luck getting your computer fixed! We'll understand if Stoat is a bit under the weather for a while!

Child of the 7th Age · 04-07-2003, 05:43 AM

Pio,

Ahem.....well, you know how "unreliable" children are!

Perhaps Cami will say that ever since she's gotten a good, close look at Aunt Pio, little Lolly is running around and saying that all ladies must surely have a baby or two down there!

Hope that Maura buys it....

Or will Bill be actually at the scene? __________________ In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand in every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.

I think Stoatie will do the deed - but he should probably meet up with Ferny at the hideout wondering what they should do with the formidable toddler!!!

Posts: 7,779	We were in the month of Lotessë; Now we are in the following month, Nárië (which has 30 days). After 30 Nárië wil be Loendë, Mid-years day, and the twins birthday. I have just compressed time about a month, to the early morning of 26 Nárië.(5 days from this is the birth of the twins) Stoatie and B Ferny - Can you now perform a nefarious deed around Hobbiton/Bywater - we'll keep the day at the 26th Nárië for this. Can we get the horrified reaction of the good citizens once this event has occured. Sharon/ Mith - whoever would like to tackle this - after this kidnapping, someone needs to play the Shiriff and ride trusty Dumpling back to the Inn to accost the Big Folk - if you'ld like, he can show up on Mid-year day and Pio can break up his rant by going into labor. __________________ Eldest, that’s what I am . . .

Borrowed a rather jazzy lap-top to keep up with things but have to return it to its owner regularly so they can use it to earn an honest crust. Therefore my postings may be even more sporadic than usual. Many apologies. If I have to return it just when my nefarious deed is required I will PM Nuru with my words or even put them here for someone else to post, hope that will be fine. I can delete once used. Did that make sense? How come nothing I say out of character ever makes sense? So sorry. __________________ Auriel

Yes, if you need to, just post on the discussion thread and we will insert it where it fits best in the game. The next big thing is kidnapping #1. ( BTW, either Pio or I can then delete the duplicate post from the discussion thread.) Good luck getting your computer fixed! We'll understand if Stoat is a bit under the weather for a while! sharon [ April 06, 2003: Message edited by: Child of the 7th Age ] __________________ Multitasking women are never too busy to vote.

It was very well written. Cami does plan to respond, as you can see from my note underneath your news. sharon __________________ Multitasking women are never too busy to vote.

Child of the 7th Age Spirit of the Lonely Star Join Date: Mar 2002 Posts: 5,133	Pio, Ahem.....well, you know how "unreliable" children are! Perhaps Cami will say that ever since she's gotten a good, close look at Aunt Pio, little Lolly is running around and saying that all ladies must surely have a baby or two down there! Hope that Maura buys it.... sharon __________________ Multitasking women are never too busy to vote.

That should make for some interesting conversations between the interrogator and the main suspect being interrogated! sharon __________________ Multitasking women are never too busy to vote.

If possible, I'd like to see something go up tomorrow. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] __________________ Eldest, that’s what I am . . .
