I'm a very sorry I have let this game slow down quite a bit. We were doing so well there, as Child even congratulated us! Thank you, by the way, though I'm beginning to think you jinxed us... ;)

I'll be reading through what I've gotten behind on and will get a post up ASAP, seeing what I can do to push things forward a bit.

Ah, I know just the thing.... :D

Since you have an idea, should I not post till you have?

I will be leaving again Sunday.

So sorry about not getting a post up:o, but I will try before I leave.

sorry that I haven't been on much. Summer's been hectic.

I'll try to get a post in soon.

No worries, Forest Elf - as you can see, we've all been busy, anyway.

And no, please go ahead (as you have done), Finduilas. I am simply going to institute an idea Firefoot and I had, but it will not directly effect the plot...not in that way. Yeah, it will make sense, I promise. :D

I'm leaving tomorrow for a two week vacation, so I wont be able to write another post till it's over. But considering the rate this RPG is going...:)

My character can be used by anyone, if necassary. Just remember that he isn't a pushy fellow, and probably wont say to much. Of course, if you can in any way not use him, that'd be great.

There are at least a couple odd characters in Bree who most feel could well be dangerous.

This is the information commonly known about two such people:


As these possible suspects are investigated, this information will undoubtedly be added to...

Dearie me! Kuric has dissed Sam's friend -- I think Sam wants to say a few words in Eric's defense before he starts to wonder about suspicious acting Breelanders. :)

Would that be okay, or would everyone just prefer that Sam let Kuric's remark pass?

Dunwen - If Morm wouldn't mind adding a couple lines of dialogue to his post, you could do it that way. Just post what you want him to say here on the discussion thread, or you could pm him.

Possibly, just let me know. Kuric does mutter to himself a lot but it could be overheard. Let me know what you would like to say. I don't mind a heated debate :D

I'm back and I wrote something. :D
From now on I will keep following and participating in this RPG more actively, as my summer holiday is over.

If my post causes problems when you write the Kuric-Sam -dialogue, just tell me - I can edit or delete it. :)

I'm not sure if I understand this concept so may I save the next post for me? I think it would fit rather well. The way I envision it happening is Kuric discuss the topic of the new people mentioned and then Sam can interject if he chooses.

Morm and all,

This is what I was thinking of for my next post, in the quote below. My original idea is that Sam heard one of Kuric's mutterings and is responding to that. However, if what I have below won't work with the story, let me know -- I'll be happy to edit. I'll wait till somebody tells me to post it or edit it. :)
--Dunwen

I'm working on a post, but will wait till Morm and Dunwen have finished their thing.

I think that it would work better, maybe, if Lommy's post came after Sam blew up at Kuric. She could maybe add near the beginning of her post that she(Leanora) was trying to change the subject back to the point. I just thought of this, so I'm not sure if it would work.

-Finduilas-

Dunwen, I don't think that your post in its present form really fits. Perhaps if you started it off with something like: "As the others moved on, Sam was still thinking about Kuric's harsh words about his friend, and finally he broke into the flow of conversation..." Rather than Kuric's quote.

The other way that I could see this working is that maybe Sam corners Kuric later on, after the meeting is over. Something like "I heard what you said earlier, even if no one else did..." Maybe he was standing next to Kuric? That would also satisfy Morm's intention that Kuric muttered it.

It could be vocal, I have no problem with anybody overhearing it. The one problem I have with the post as it stands is that Kuric wouldn't really allow for a pause and allow Sam to begin speaking to Leonora. I obviously could write something that would make it fit nice and neat, if needed but Kuric's natural instinct would be to explode without thinking.

Firefoot & Mormegil
 

Actually, I really like your second idea, Firefoot. If it's okay with Mormegil, I can set up a future conversation with Kuric by changing my post to have Sam standing next to Kuric and overhearing his mutter. In a later post Sam could then have a word with him when everyone else is leaving.

I will PM the edited post to both of you.

Thanks!

--Dunwen

Dunwen, I like your new post idea.

Should I let Dunwen post before me, since his post would be before mine, the way I am writing it? But my post wont be progressing me beyond others, just catching up in Ash's point of view.

I say plow on ahead, Finduilas -- I think Dunwen has worked it out so that Sam and Kuric's interaction will come a little later, after the meeting is wrapped up in some way.

I've posted a response to Lommy and set up a chance for a later conversation between Sam & Kuric, so I think Findulas can go ahead.

--Dunwen
( who is actually a she :D )

Rightio.

So sorry. I had (amusingly) seen a picture of you on the picture thread earlier that day, but I guess I couldn't get it out of my head that you were a him.

--Finduilas

I'm on the picture thread????? :eek: I'll have to check that out, lol. Don't worry about any gender mix-up -- hopefully that means I'm writing 'neutral'. (But not 'neutered', ar-ar-ar.)

--Dunwen

Oh dear.:o I was wrong. It was Durelin... Sorry, yet again. Lol.

Just a little reminder
 

Everybody, my character's name is Leanora, not Leonora. It's not a big thing, but I thought I should mention it... :)

:o Whoops, and normally I'm a decent speller! I think I've corrected LeAnora's name in all my posts. Thanks for the reminder.

--Dunwen

Don't worry Dunwen, no harm done. :)

Hello? Is everyone... eaten by mysterious things that we defenders took too long to find?:p

:D I'm here, but I think someone else could have their turn in posting as I wrote something quite recently.

Hi, sorry that I haven't been on much. I've just been really busy and lately things haven't been going so well around home... recently my dad told me that he wasn't my dad anymore except for biologically... so, things have just been totally crazy. I'll post when I can though.

A heart-felt apology
 

Hello folks,
I believe I owe you all an apology, since I was part of this game and then I dissappeared suddenly. While I would not want to get into the details of what exactly happened to me, at least not in public like this, I hope you understand if I say that I found myself in a very unfortunate Real Life situation and I went through a difficult time, where posting on the 'downs was just not something I was thinking about. I should have let you know that I would no longer be participating, and for that I apologise, but I hope you understand that I was not quite thinking straight and a little gesture like that just didn't occurr to me.

I'll try to read up on the game to see how everyone has been doing =)

Farael.

Oh. Well I hope everything is better now.

Nice to see you back.

I'm sorry to hear that, Forest Elf, and glad to see that you, Farael, are back.

But where's everybody? Where are our game owners? :confused:

An apology really doesn't cut it, but I give you one anyway: I am so very, very sorry.

I am alive. I could cite excuses for my disappearance, but why bother. There's really no excuse for not keeping up with this, a game of my own initiation.

I will get this moving again and will keep up with it. I am so very sorry to all of you. Thank you so much to everyone for hanging in there and especially to those of you who have tried so hard to keep it going.

I am so sorry to hear that, Forest Elf...I wish there was more I could say. My heart truly goes out to you. :( Please don't worry about anything here.

Welcome back, Farael - please, no worries. I am just sorry you had problems and I hope life is much better and will stay that way.

Again, I am so sorry, everyone, and I will post ASAP. I will also try and see if Firefoot is alright (she was keeping up with this much better than I was, so I hope everything's okay), and will carry along Toby for the time being if need be.

Thanks everyone. I'll still try to post when I can.. but things have still been pretty hectic. I'm at study hall right now, so.. I'll try to get to it.

Please, don't worry about it at all, Forest Elf. This is just for fun, and not by any means a big obligation. :)

I have posted, and I hope within the next couple posts we can end the meeting and get headed to talk to...someone, in Bree. :D

Such as...

Is it alright to introduce this 'NPC/cameo' of sorts, Pio? Thanks!

I know. It's nice to get away from reality every once in awhile though. It's good to escape from real life every now and then.

There, I posted. I think this gives a good chance to move things along a little bit. Sorry it took me so long.

Where's Firefoot? She hasn't been around for ages and if she had time, this would be an ideal place for Toby to comment - he's the bos after all. ;)

I'm really sorry for my lack of participation here. I don't really have an excuse, only to say that I'm at a point in my life where if I really wanted to, I could probably make some time, it's been the "wanting to" that's been lacking. I wrote up a quick post for Toby to try and get some things going again. Sorry for my absence, and I'll try to keep up better with this...

If nobody has any objection, I think now would be a good time for Kuric to jump in again. Of course, he will complain that we are not going out into the wild today as looking around town wasn't the sort of action he was looking for. I don't want Kuric to monopolize the time though so please let me know if somebody else wants to respond first.
