Just a quick note for Anarya Silverbranch, Aylwen Dreamsong, and Ithaeliel:

When I copy the first post for Erebor (the one posted above, for your advance notice) on the game thread, I will add Stonehelm's request to a servant for "your characters" to meet with him for a joint meeting that afternoon. Thus, I need to know by Sunday who your characters are. Sooner would be even better. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

This anticipated meeting will give you a focus to write around. Your character can reminisce about his past as he prepares for the meeting. He can meet with one of the other characters to discuss the meeting with the King. He can be seeking advice from his family. He can be meeting with tradesmen about trade possibilities and problems--gathering info for the King. He can be buying his personal supplies for the long trip ahead. He can be waking up from a drunken spree. The possibilities are endless. Or your first post can start that meeting. (You will need to discuss amongst yourselves who does this.) Maybe you have other ideas for your first post--that's great; go right ahead and use them.

You might want to talk with each other about these posts in particular when you also are making plans for the route to take. At the meeting with Stonehelm, you will be discussing a request from Orodan of Mirkwood to travel together through Mirkwood. Be prepared to make that decision at the meeting. (If you choose 'yes,' then learning how to get along with these elves will be part of the stuff of the journey, as will dealing with the terrain/geography of the forest.)

Have fun. I'm sort of wishing HRH was going along with you! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
