erm...Ok, Helka, Thanks for the Edit.
I have to go to work now so I will put up my post some time tonight [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Okay, I've put up a post that sort of sets up the village. If it's confusing or something, let me know and I'll edit it.

Ok folks, I've put my post up.

I have also moved us forward, we are now about to enter the desert and Ghurdan is waiting for Sevora to tell them in which direction they will be traveling. I hope that ok with everyone [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I have posted (finally).

Khasia is taunting Chani. Ealasaid, what do you want us to do with her eventually? And how exactly does she feel about the prospect of rebelling? I realize she's pretty well established as being on Ahmad's side, but is her disgust toward Yusef enough to push her into our camp?

Will pay more attention in the future, now that the flurry of my game's opening is done.

Sophia

Durelin

Once the troops get to the little town described by Tinuviel - How far away do you envision the tribes to be?

I am really sorry, but for eight days now my phone has been down!! Argh! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] I have a lot of catching up to do, and I'll do my best...

Pio - I believe only about two days journeying will get us to the tribes.

Okay, I'm going to check out the RPG thread and my PMs, then I'll get back to you on anything else I see... Argh, I'm sorry about this!

EDIT: Yay, we're doing okay! It seems you guys do better without me!

Will that be game time or real life time Durelin?

So, the plan is:

1.) Go to the village that Tinuviel set up for you, make and example of her character. (two days Game time?)

2.) Then come, say 1 days march, to where the Baobab and Painted Sand tribes are?

Once you've done the sacrifice, either Ealasaid or I should do a post where word travels to us that this dark army is on the way, and that someone was killed for resisting.

This should excite the young converts and have the older tribe members making some makeshift plans.

uhhh.... I hadn't really thought it out that far yet. I will try to have something up here & in the game to let you know what she is up to by sometime today.

Sooo....I've been waiting to post for a while as I'm a little confused. How far are we from the village exactly? What are we going to do- camp or stay at an inn? Why do we make an example at all, is it because they aren't devout enough? Is it OK for Sammael to rebel, he won't like this at all...?

Lyra - according to Durelin's post above - the troops are two days away from Tinuviel's village.

Why don't you go ahead and get them to within striking distance of the village - camp on the outskirts (I doubt it's big enough to have an Inn to house all of you). Send someone in to see what the village is like, bring back a little report on it to the High Priestess or the Captain of the troops.

This is your first strike among the desert dwellers for the Eye - you'll want to rattle your sabers, give them a taste of how powerful the Eye's troops are, strike fear.

There will be a trader there from the Baobabs who will hightail it back to the tribe (a day's journey from the Baobabs and Painted Sanders) to warn them what is coming.

Having read again what you're talking about, it says this:

So I'll make it so that the village is just less than halfway between us now and the tribes but if I have to change it one way or the other, that's fine.

So will we camp overnight and make an example of Tinuviel in the morning?

[ July 05, 2003: Message edited by: Lyra Greenleaf ]

I need to clarify, I see. Sorry about the confusion...

Pio - I thought you asked how far we were from the tribes themselves, not just the village. Still, I didn't really give a real clear answer. How does this sound? (I'm going to add one more day...I have something planned):

Once we reach the village, we will be about two days from the tribes.

And, I have a post for us reaching the village now. So, let me see what Lyra's post is like, and see how it will fit in, and if anything needs to be changed.

ok, it's the school hols and my kids are keeping me busy, so I promise I'll try to post tommorrow.

Lyra love your post [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] it really gives me loads to work with, thanks [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
but I'll wait to see Durelin's post before I work mine.

Lyra - Your post is at night, right? So, if I have my post that has us enter the village the next morning... Essenia and Zasfal are scouting, so I guess I should wait until Nerindel can post until I post mine.

Is that right? Nerindel? Lyra?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what to post now... I still have to punish Dristi, but I have to wait until we're in the village. Not the proper supplies, you see. Oh, and I think I'll clear my punishment with you, Arien, just in case... So, check your PMs!

Oh, yeah, and I like the post, Lyra. Like the thing with Essenia! Is that the first time she's ever worn a dress, by the way? She couldn't really flirt then, could she? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thanks again, everyone!

[ July 05, 2003: Message edited by: Durelin ]

Chani will not be converting. I guess I have made that pretty clear with my post... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

She does not scare or intimidate easily, though, and she is definitely not scared of Jasara or Khasia (perhaps foolishly). Her sister Shushila is the one who scares easily. I've noticed that you guys keep writing her as though she is frightened of them. She would have been bewildered at first, but now she is just angry. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the note, Ealasaid, would you like me to change it? She's not scared at all?! I guess that's foolish [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]. Khasia probably would have fun killing her.

Sophia

Nerindel, when you post for Zasfal feel free to make Essenia do what you like, only make sure she shows reluctance. She'll do what she's told to but most likely she'll be looking daggers at Zasfal. I'll do her reactions after...

Sophia -- I didn't quite follow your last post. Unless Khasia plans to kill Chani while she is still tied to the tree, she won't have an easy time of it. Also, I wouldn't be too quick to kill her as that would bring the entire Painted Sand tribe (with the exception of the PS converts) down on the convert camp, swords drawn. Since they are a warrior society, they are not pushovers.

Ok, I've finally found the time to post again [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]. I'm soory if it's to long, but I think I've covered everything [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lyra if there is anything you don't like, let me know and I will change it. I've left it open so you can post what we found out about the village and the tribesmen, hope thats ok. I wasn't sure how Essania would react to Zasfal taking the blame/credit for the incident in the inn so I also left that open. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Ealasaid- Eek! I should make myself clearer. I meant that while Chani is tied, it would be wise for her to be frightened, because Khasia would consider killing her very entertaining. Be that as it may, she has no plans to do so. Sorry. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Did you want me to edit and make her seem less frightened in my post?

Sophia

Might I just compliment you on that post Nerindel? It was cool. I'm really enjoying that Zasfal character. He makes me laugh. The punchingbag of the expedition. Man you're a genius.

My post is up, no further planning done, just a little rat hunt.

Abedithon le

Sophia -- no need to edit, but thank you for offering! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Chani IS a bit apprehensive, to say the least.. just angry, too. No one in their right mind wouldn't be at least a little scared under similar circumstances.

Don't mind me.. just a little cranky as I am working 10 hours a day, 6 days a week right now.

Rise and shine all you people! It's morning in the game! (If you tribesmen aren't ready for morning, finish up your evening/night stuff anyway...)

Also, Helka, I have to tell you - I don't think either of the Priestesses or Essenia would empty their stomach over a couple of dead rats...seriously. Have one of Nerindel's acrobats throw up if you must... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

But I am serious about that. None of the women on this journey would do that!

Oopsy, Pio could you move my post after Nerindel's?

Oh! no! Poor Zasfal.
Lyra are you implying that Zasfal gets slapped about a bit more [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Ok, if this is so I will need to know how badly Sevora would have beat him [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Lyra

Your post is moved! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

My post is up in my saved spot. About thirty (can edit the numbers if necessary) of the Painted Sand young have gone missing, for they have been rescued by the almighty Jasara, speaker for the Eye. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Talk about a love of dramatics [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] .

I'll edit it right away Durexy. Sorry for the character miss-interpetation.

Abedithon le

The Baobab tribe is moving east, to add their numbers to the Painted Sands encampment.

Well, Rahvin has finally made an appearance by himself. Nerindel! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ummmm...has anyone seen Arelendil lately? I am missing Naramarth... Perhaps someone should take over the character?

Ok, my post is up [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Durelin I wasn't sure if the group were marching to the village square straight away or if you wanted them to make camp on the outskirts first so I just finished with them approaching the village, I can edit when you let me know which it is [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

ok Durelin I've just read your post and I'm not quiet sure what your getting at, [Blinded Ghurdan of his folly?]. are you referring to Zasfal and the fact that Ghurdans infamous temper has not arisen [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] or have I lost the plot and you are referring to something completely different

[ July 10, 2003: Message edited by: Nerindel ]

I have the post for Falia's d*ath scene ready, is there anyone who needs to make a post before it? It covers most of the day, but only the parts relevant to the sacrifice itself.

I will go ahead and put it up, but Pio feel free to move it if anyone's post needs to precede it.

[ July 10, 2003: Message edited by: Tinuviel of Denton ]

Thank you for not killing the father yt Tinuviel. I thorougly enjoyed that. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

I hope it's not too gruesome?

Abedithon le

Durelin & co. - When do you think the people of the Eye will get to the tribes (Real Time and/or Game time)?

Pio - Which tribe do you think is going to be intercepted by the Evil Eye folk first? The Young or the combined Baobab and Painted Sand?

-Aylwen

Aylwen

I would think there should be a scene where the Dark Troops encounter the combined B/PS tribes and try to 'seduce' them if you will, into accepting the offering of the Eye with promises of riches/greatness/favors/etc.

The B/PS tribal Elders should then confer - and of course reject the offer of the Priestess. Her sweet words will then escalate into threats, and I think it is at that time that the Eye should lead the Young to the Dark Troops.

In the meantime - the Young should go into hiding - they are holding the daughter of the leader of the PS. The PS and the B tribe who have now joined them will be hunting for the captive and will have no qualms about killing a few of the defected, convert children.

It would be an interesting scene if the Young came to offer their assistance to the Priestess - her troops would of course stop them, and thinking they are just raggedy little trouble makers from the backwards tribes would try to run them off or arrest them. Then the Priestess would hear of them and welcome them into the fold.

Just my opinion - Durelin may have other plans, of course!

Nobody minds that I removed Sammael from the sacrifice do they? It's just that what's already posted didn't leave much room for him to protest and he wouldn't just stand there.

ok, I have put up two posts but I think both will need to be moved (Look's apologetically to pio) The first one needs to go between Durelin's post for Rahvin and Tinuviel's excellent sacrifice post [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

And the second would probably be better before Ariens last post were she enters the inn to face Sevora.

Sorry, pio if this is any trouble [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Nerindel

I don't mind placing posts. But please put them on the Discussion Thread next time with the date and time of the post wou want them to follow (and the name of the writer of that particular post)

Thanks! Makes it easier for me - Pio [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

So Thorgom didn't spot Sammael and Damodred at the inn then, Helka...? I don't suppose it really matters, they could have missed each other. But just to clarify- when did we set up our tents? It seems like we walked to the village, did the sacrifice...and now we have to set them up! Or did someone mention it and I didn't notice?
