Well done, Kuru! The Dwarf is a person of many talents indeed!
Why do I get the feeling that posting would be more active here if we added a couple of werewolves to the story?!

Ahh, so she hasn't been eaten. That's well. Can't be too careful and all that...

Ah. I thought you were implying I may have turned into a werewolf, which puzzled me seeing as how my temporary save fill in has great balls of fire rather than full moons.
Don't worry, a more permanent filler-inner is coming, it's just... taking time.

I have added a post to Kuruharan's in order to adjust the location of the characters. Diamond, if you need some changes, please tell me.

At some point, Greedhog will need to make his (proper) submission. This week is tricky and I am away for the Bank Holiday weekend, so it will have to wait 'til next week. Will it make sense following on from your post Lush, or shall I put up a SAVE afer Diamond's post?

Great post, Mith! Trust a loyer to win a point there!
I plan to post for Merisu/Yawanna next week before I leave for my vacation - I will wait to see what develops in the meantime. (So much for my dream of having completed this game before I'm gone...)

My post is up, and totally not worth the wait, but you would have had to have waited months more to get a decent one.

Nice to see Vogie's poetry being put to good use for once (although, officially, I thoroughly disapprove of his actions, of course ).I have put up a SAVE for Greedhog's submissions, but I doubt that I'll be able to fill it before next week. If Lush posts in the meantime and it makes more sense for it to come after, I'll move it.

Unfortunately, I must agree with Saucepan. Your post is excellently funny Diamond. I will need to read it again...
Yup! Still funny!

Very funny indeed, Diamond! I almost choked upon reading the first Pimpi/Vogy conversation, having seen SW Episode 3 last week - hilarious!
Should Merisu have noticed what's happened to Gravlox? Or are those paying attention to the trial too far away/preoccupied to see? I'm just wondering if there should be a reaction, or whether that would spoil your carefully laid plans, Mith.

Given the strategic situation, i.e the Itship is facing the amassed might of Mogul, any reaction would be unwise. Besides, all eyes are focused upon Sueim and Greedhog.

...and wonderfully so, Saucy! What an enjoyable post! I chuckled most over the contrast between Greedhog's legalese and Mantoes' hip-speak, though I must mention "Court-ship" as runner-up.
I am writing a post for Yawanna which will have her getting Gatesy's message and beginning to have a shadow of a doubt. There is nothing I can really write for Merisu at the moment. As I am leaving on my US trip on Monday, June 6, I may not be able to post during the next couple of weeks. Please feel free to carry on.

What a delightful post, Esty.
The tale of the West Side is fitting, oh so fitting. Oh, and do I detect an ever so subtle reference to a certain thread currently producing much heated debate ...? And I love Yawanna's anticipation of her tenure as Queen of Muddled-Mirth.By the way. You do realise that it's all a set up. You should know by now never to trust unsolicited o-mails from senders with long, unintelligible names ... Quote:
Apologies to those who are unfamiliar with English courtroom "manners", certain London firms of solicitors or Latin legal phrases. I can assure you that Greedhog, in this instance, is no caricature. That's really how they speak!

I've popped in to look as to when jumping in might be appropriate, but there seem to have been schemes-within-schemes that I wouldn't want to disturb. What's the immediate plan?

Rim, your best bet is to PM Saucy and/or Mith to check with them. They won't tell me what they're up to!

Once Lush posts, I will be able to finish up our set piece and anyone is free to go. If you want to post now, go ahead, but don't save Gravlox, don't mess with the trial and don't reunite the Ent or wipe out the armies of Mogul.

Really, most of the trial planning has been down to Mith. I just take his instructions, like a good little loyer.
Once the trial is over, I suspect there will be a rather tumultuous battle, so it'll be pretty much a free for all. My only request is that, for the time being at least, neither Mogul nor Soregum get killed and the Entish parts remain unreconstituted. Anyone is free to take down Greedhog during the battle - provided, of course, that they fulfil the criteria for doing so. Although the spectacle of a loyer being taken out by one of his own might be fun. No honour among thieves and all that ...

Sorry guys, I seem to be suffering from severe writer's block. It's late here in Amman. I think I'll sleep on it and do my bestest to post in the morning.

Ok, save is filled. Mith take a look and see if I'm missing anything.
It's kind of....crap, but the desert heat has currently melted my creativity.

The post which will fill in my save will be rather long. Unfortunately, I don't think I will have time to fill it in before I leave for vacation this saturday. My apologies. If I can somehow get it done, I will.

Greetings from Far Far Away! (located in central Texas) I enjoyed reading your post, Lush - very funny! Depend on Leninia to make the fulfillment of her wishes look like a political manifest!
Mith, I look forward to your post, whenever you have it ready.

I'm back from vacation, and what do I see? The last post, save for Lush's save, is my own, over three weeks ago. I suppose everyone is still waiting for Mith's save in order to know how to proceed...

I've filled in my save. Actually I broke it in two. The new save, "Of the Curse Upon the House of Who-Him and the Prophecy of the Step-Sister of All Battles" is back story only. So you all can have at it and begin hacking away! Please note Saucepan's prior admonishments regarding who can be killed (and how) and who cannot be killed.
Battle on Dudes and Dudettes! Oh and thank you Diamond and Lush for your distinguished and excellent assistance.

It's great to see things moving again! Thanks for two wonderful posts, Mith - that second one was above and beyond the call of duty, making it all the more enjoyable.
While I was in the States, I bought The Sillymarillion - amusing reading, but I couldn't help but think that posts like this last one by Mith and Saucy's epic back stories are every bit as good and better. I'm very proud of what we've accomplished here - I don't think it would be possible to get the RPG into publishable form, but it is a fantastic piece of reading! My heartfelt thanks to all of you for making it so. Saucy, your save gives us something to look forward to! It's fun to sit back and let you guys write the battle - let me know if there's anything I can do someday!

Save filled
OK Mith - I'll see your Too-thin and raise you an Ancalorgas ...
I will be away for the next two weeks, so it looks like I might miss some of the great battle that is to follow.  Mind you, at the rate this story moves it will probably still be in full swing when I return. I do hope so, as I would like to post something about Soregum and, of course, Mogul's final (? ) confrontation with the Itship.Quote:

Thanks, Saucy, for taking the time to write your wonderful post before leaving on vacation! It is both appreciated and very much enjoyed! I especially enjoyed Greedhog's lament on playing fair and the Trekian technobabble about the time continuum. (And the line "to curry favour" reminds me of a lyric from P.D.Q. Bach's "The Seasonings" - "To curry favour, favour curry.") Now I think the Itship really needs a eucatastrophe!
Is it a free-for-all now? Mith, Saucy, any guidelines or can the rest of us jump into the fray and wreak our usual havoc as we wish? I'd like to ask the rest of you for a brief roll-call; as always, I will post, of course, if no one else does, but it would be nice to have more participation again. So, who's next?? Thena? Kuru? Diamond? Lush? (That's all of us who are left - I wonder if the Werewolves have been secretly at large on more threads than just their specified ones!)

A huge thanks to both of you for the wonderful long-term planning you've done for this sub-plot! It took a lot of thought and time to write those excellent posts, and I enjoyed letting you move the plot along. Now it's time for the rest of us to do our share - I will begin with a post for Merisu and have put up a save to that end. Then I hope others will jump in and battle. I reserve the final confrontation for Yawanna; other than that, no restrictions.
