Gandalf - the elves were correct. Peri and Midnight are also gone from the stable. In a previous post(page 9), she has gotten up very early to catch a certain morning light. After mucking out Peri's stall and feeding both of them, she and they are going down to the river - Vorondil has joined them.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'll go back and correct my post!

Oh! I feel stupid for not telling you guys: yes, I did know you guys were there. I just felt like getting Estelarion and Menelduliniel out of the Inn...

Sorry...forgot to post that!

Bêthberry · 08-27-2002, 04:35 PM

I don't wish to be rude, VanimaEdhel, but your last post here in the Discussion thread has got me wondering. Do you have any idea when you might just feel like interacting with the rest of us on the RPG rather than only with your own characters?

All,

I must assuredly apologize for not contributing or being involved whatsoever in the past few weeks. My real world engagements simply left me far too drained to post anything resembling a substantial post in the RP. I barely had enough energy to keep an RP of my own going. Alas, two jobs and a slow connection tend to keep me from surfing for over half on hour at the most.

But Gandalf you appear to have read my mind, as we have each other many times before, or Arcon's purpose in the RP. I did not intend him to stay a part of the storyline past the meeting with the Rangers, and I thank you for handling the character appropriately. I must again apologize for simply "dropping" him in everyone's lap.

A note to myself, avoid joining new RPs during the summer, no good can come of this! Leave such endeavors for the fall. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I wish you all the best and it was my esteemed pleasure to post with each and every one of you. Gandalf and Bethberry, I enjoyed RPing with you once more, it is of course entirely my pleasure I assure you.

Look out for Arcon this fall (or the "other guy" perhaps [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ), I am considering a new RP storyline.

My best wishes and regards,
Oro

VanimaEdhel · 08-29-2002, 03:28 PM

Let me explain where I am going with this: I'm trying to get them in a position where they are trying to sneak back in, then stumble upon the others. I couldn't think of any other interesting way to have them meet back up with you after so much happened while I was away for a month. My next post will be that they go back that night, trying to sneak in, then stumble across the others.

Trust me: I have the whole thing written out over here (literally...so much paper...): it makes sense eventually.

Well Gandalf, shall we have one more round, and wrap this up? As for winning or losing: I leave it to the dice. (Though if Birdie loses, she might never get that cushy job in Rivendell that she was daydreaming about. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

Gandalf_theGrey · 08-30-2002, 08:35 AM

Orofacion of the Vanyar:

Most understandable about your real-world commitments, my friend. * bows * It's been an honour and a pleasure having Arcon join us along the road while we've been On Patrol. May our paths cross again, in which case I'll look forward to sharing new adventures. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Birdland:

Sounds good to me ... I'll bring my dice along on my travels this Labor Day Weekend. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Though actually, I'd thought it more likely for Birdie to end up in Rivendell if she loses. For losing the riddle-game would wind her up in Gandalf's employ, and then all she'd have to do is somehow survive Castle Maladil and hopefully pick up a fast horse along the way, to keep up with Midnight while making all haste to acquire a replacement letter from Elrond to Galadriel.

(We're getting slightly ahead of ourselves, for Castle Maladil shall be its own RPG, and beyond Castle Maladil, should be another separate RPG.)

Last Call for Posts to the On Patrol RPG!

Within the next few days, I intend to write the final post to On Patrol.

The reason why I envision that the action of On Patrol should end at the Trade Inn of Sarn Ford, is so that the upcoming Castle Maladil RPG can make a clean start from this same Inn. This segway will conveniently allow new people the opportunity to join the company before the company becomes embroiled in whatever dangers or challenges lie ahead.

Thanks and kudos to all my fellow adventurers who have made sharing the road such a wonderful treat. I look forward to our many successful future journeys together. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

*Curtsies* Thank you m'lord, Gandalf. I, too, have enjoyed this experience!

Final posts? That is so sad. I'm going to cry when you do close it off...I probably will, too...

***Mithadan*** · 09-11-2002, 02:28 PM

If I read the foregoing correctly, there is at least one and possibly more than one new RPG planned. Looking forward to seeing your proposals! "On Patrol" has been one of the best on the boards.

Gandalf_theGrey · 09-11-2002, 02:51 PM

Hail Mithadan:

You read correctly. Though I plan to take a break from being RPG threadmaster for a bit, an upcoming RPG tentatively called Castle Maladil is in the works. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Now that I have made a final post today to On Patrol, I wonder if you could please close the RPG thread and archive it?

Thank you for your kind support. * bows *

At your Service,

Gandalf the Grey

***Mithadan*** · 09-11-2002, 02:56 PM

Will do!

And when you get a chance, no hurry, please check your PMs.
