Ah, very good! :D Thanks Nerindel!

Oh but now I have a feeling that my thoughts will be stuck in the mountain pass this afternoon, instead of concentrating on drawing these darn cabinets! ;)

Glad you are back, Nerindel! I'm off to read your post! :D

EDIT: Excellent post! Now... just to clarify things for me, where exactly is everyone in relation to everyone else?

I picture Naiore, Barrold, & Benia to be high in the smuggler's pass in the mountains with Dulrain and the two hobbits a few hours behind them, with Amandur's group not terribly far behind Dulrain. Is this correct?

Also... a warning... there may be orcs about! ;)

Yup that looks right to me. ;)

hehehe I have plans for ye old orcs in Dulrains post :p So Mrs banks stay close and keep your weapons drawn and pray Toby doesn't wet himself! :eek:

So are we all pretty high up in the mountains then? I should think we would be.

Yes, I caught the mention of orcs earlier on and was wondering if Mrs Banks was in for something I wasn't privy to! :eek: E-gads! And as for Mr. Longsholes... what is an orc or two when you've been Naiore's tow? Er, yes well... still I'm hoping he's got a spare set of drawers about him somewhere!

Everdawn, I just found that your save has been filled. :) You are so right, it would seem like everything is coming undone. :eek: Poor Avanill!

EVerdawn - good to see you back! :) I had overlooked your excellent post as well. Thanks, Hilde, for pointing it out!

yeah, cheers thanks a lot. :D

Just Bringing this Forward:

End game outline

Amandur's group

2. Léspheria and Naiore sense each others presence and a fierce unseen battle ensues, as Amandur's group moves to corner Naiore.

4. Naiore cornered, grabs Vanwe! Vanwe vainly attempts to reason with her mother and discover why she need her question answered at such high a price!

5. Avanill seeing an opportunity as Naiore is distracted by her daughter, Takes his deadly shot.

6. Vanwe slips from her mother's grasp into the arms of Léspheria. Naiore is then attacked by an enraged Ménecin.

7. Vanwe show's pity and compassion and stops her father from delivering the deadly blow.

8. Lespheria speaks to Naiore pointing out all that she has lost in persuit of an answer that was within her to begin with, She then turns her back on Naiore.

9. Naiore incensed and blaming Léspheria for Vanwe's pity strikes out at Léspheria.

10. Naiore is killed!

11. End post.

*********************************

Dúlrain Et al
***WE ARE HERE***
1. Dulrain with the help of Toby and Gilly go after Benia.

2. Dúlrain kills Barrold and they free Benia

3. Dulrain confesses his love to Benia and she compassionately counsells him not to continue Kaldir's revenge and they all head back to Rivendell.

4. end post

My save for Dúlrain is Finally filled sorry for the wait, I have a lot of reallife issues at the moment, and now to top it off I am moving house. but I will try to keep on top of things as best I can and can only thank you for you patience.

Ealasaide, when will Naiore be cutting Barrold and Benia loose? I think Hilde whats to post then we will be ready to have our dashing knight free his princess ;)

Everyone in Amandurs group an orc patrol of 12 is heading our way :eek: don't think you have to wait for old slow coach here to post, feel free to deal with the partol how you please :D

:) Welcome back, Nerindel! Good to see you.

Good luck with the move - those can be quite tiresome!

~*~ Pio

Nerindel - welcome back! And good luck with your move - may it go smoothly!

Looks like I need to do an edit to my last Benia post: I had only five orcs. :eek: I guess there are twelve, so I will change that. (Pio - if you have moved my post over to Fan-Fic already, please replace it with the edited version. Thanks!) As for when Naiore plans to cut Barrold & Benia loose, it will have to be after they get to the other side of the mountains & Barrold manages to come up with the horse that he owes her. I'm thinking probably two more posts from me should do it.

Ealasaide

Thanks for the heads up. I put the edited post on the fanfic site.

Everyone

Please use the Discussion Thread for saying why your post was edited, if that is necessary. Please don't put the comment on the Game Thread, in that 'reason for editing' box.

Oops! Sorry - I didn't realise that that would present a problem. The funny part is that I almost never use that "reason for edit" space & did this time just to let you know that I had completed the edit. I won't do it again! :)

Just wanted to see if we are really for a time change. Should I end Gilly's post with it being early the next day or do we need it still be night?

I am fine with a time change, but I think it really depends on the position of those traveling in Amandur's group. They have a dozen orcs to contend with yet. :eek:

As for my group of Naiore, Barrold, & Benia, I am ready to advance the time frame at any time. My plan was for them to start walking again before sunrise and reach the far side of the mountains by sometime the following evening. ?? After that Barrold needs to see about finding a horse for Naiore. When that is done, he will make off toward the Dale with Benia.

Ah, good point about Amandur and company! Many thanks for freshing my feeble memory. :D

Ok im going to post in the next day or so and try and get as much in this week as I can becuase next week im in South Africa visiting my cousins for 10 days and im not sure how much computer time I will be able to get.

Sounds good Everdawn. Have fun! :)

I also hope to have a post up ASAP. Trying for today!

Have a good trip! :)

Gilly's save has been filled in.

Apologies! I'm aiming to get Menecin's post filled in tonight or tomorrow, sorry for the prolonged save. :p

No problem, Hilde! Whenever you can get it filled. :)

In the meantime, I am just waiting for the time frame to advance. We wouldn't want the bad guys to get too far ahead time wise!

Well it's finally there. As always, just let me know if anything needs changing.

Looks good to me! :)

I am currently working on a post for the Baddies that will advance the time frame a day or so. I hope to have it up on the thread by sometime on Wednesday. Please let me know if there is anything anyone needs to get in on the current day before I move ahead. Thanks! :D

Hey Everdawn, if you are out there somewhere, don't forget about us entirely in your fun. You've got a save up from the 7th. Do you still want to keep it there?

I'm fine with changing the time frame.

Everdawn's SAVE was done on 11/06 - 3 weeks ago. Her PM's are also full.

Please continue on with the storyline without her at present.

Thanks!

~*~ Pio

Thanks Miss Pio! :p

Sorry I missed my self-assigned deadline of Wednesday for my post - I got hung up in Thanksgiving festivities! I do have something in the works, though, and will get it up there ASAP.

okay, kiddies... I have finally managed to post with Naiore. Time frame has been advanced until nightfall on the following day. My next post, which will take place the day after that, will have Barrold Ferny leaving Naiore and striking out on his own. With Benia. I'll try to get that one done in a more timely manner! :p

Hey guys, Goeie aand or goodevening as they say in South Africa.

Durban was fantastic, spent a lot of time with the family and now im back. No prolemo about time-frame advance, im flexible!

I completely forgot about the save, ill fill it in and post up to date tomorrow, but right now im going to sleep.

Geniet jou dag wat volg!

- On another note, my Afrikaans is still very basic, :D

Greetings, Everdawn! Welsome back, glad to see you, & looking forward to your post. :)

Regarding your Afrikaans... it could be horrible and I would never notice! I have no Afrikaans at all, so you're one up on me already. ;)

Okay, gang, let's get on the ball here! We don't want to get shut down when we are so close to the end. I will try to have something new from Barrold by Sunday at the latest. Everdawn - we haven't heard from Avanill in well over a month. I'm still looking forward to that post you keep promising! ;)

Nerindel - it's been over a month since we heard from you as well. I am aware that you have been having some RL issues to deal with, but your characters are fairly crucial to the end of the story. Will you be able to start posting more regularly anytime soon? Please let me know what your status is, by PM if you like. We miss you! :)

Yeah i know!

Sorry im taking so long guys. Ive got 3/4 of a post written. Lets get thing dang thing finished!

Be of good cheer everyone. We are in the home stretch now!

Wishing us all time and a fresh burst of inspiration to finish this off! :)

GIDDY-UP! :)

Looks like I missed Sunday for Barrold - I had forgotten that I had scheduled myself to work all day on Sunday taking inventory at my store. :eek: I plan to have that post ready in the next day or so.

Weeeeeeeeeeeee! I actually found some free time :D

I've put up a post for Amandur taking the group hopefully to the night after were Eala's last post ended, I have got to go to work now but will try to finish Vanwe's post sometime tomorrow then I will post for Lespheria before getting back to Dulrain and co ;)

Hilde feel free to post with Gilly when ever you like, I think she and Dúlrain need to get some rest before they confront Barrold!!!! *eek*

~Nerindel

WHEEEEEEEEEEE! :D

So good to see you, Nerindel!

hehe thx Eala

My post for Vanwe is finished as promised. ;)

Everdawn the point of this post is to set up a rapport betwen Vanwe and Avanill, so that he has some reason or desire to save the young elf when we get to that. :D

E-gads! It appears I no longer get email notification for this thread! I will have to see what Vanwe is up to!

Thanks, Nerindel. What kind of rest did you have in mind? I take it orcs are out of the question, :p ... :D
