*cough*

well, it's true.

Imladris, the very slightest of slight corrections. In your latest post you said:

Quote:

Then he saw them: two girls: one brandishing a knife to keep the merlocks at bay, another stumbling as she carried his sister.

There are three girls (not counting Gwyl): two (Argeleafa and Mellonin) are carrying Gwyllion, and the other (Bellyn) has the knife.

I have a question (I think for littlemanpoet).

I've put up a SAVE for Leafa on the game thread, scheduled to be filled in when Aylwen's latest post is up, but before I write out my own post...

I'm assuming Leafa has already received her injury? In what form has her 'doom' come? I think the original plan was some sort of injury to the arm; have we gone with this?

I just want to know if she should be experiencing difficulties carrying Gwyllion with a hurt arm, spurred on by fear, etc. etc.

Nuru, I think I can answer your question. This was in post #528...

He moved to Argeleafa and lifted her hair from her head to reveal her left ear. It was not there. Blood streaked her neck.

'He' being Tharonwe.

Yikes, what a bloody turn our journey has come to!

Also, just so the group knows what is going on. I've been very absent lately due to my work on my honors thesis. I'm almost through the writing process (my proposal draft is due on Friday), but it is taking an extreme amount of time away from other things. I've talked to Helen about this, but I just wanted let the everyone know as we are close group in this game.

With that said, I will be trying my best to post again over the weekend (after the draft is turned in). I will continue to be an avid and excited reader in the meantime, as this game still keeps me on the edge of my seat.

Nurumaiel · 10-26-2004, 01:36 PM

Thank you kindly, Alak!

Considering that it was so obvious, I will go sit with Aylwen and feel stupid, until Helen forcibily drags us from our miserable thoughts.

I'm glad she's got one ear left. Would it not be a pity if she could never hear a song or the strains of a fiddle again?

Faith, but you've let me off easy!

I had no idea how to write an injured arm; I've never had one and neither have any family members. But I happen to know a little hobbit-boy who can't hear with his left ear, so I have at least a little experience in the matter.

Bloody yes!!

If it isn't handled during the course of the game, I want an epilogue where Elessar comes and wipes these nassssssty merlocks off the face of Middle-Earth! And gives Tharonwe a thrashing, too!

I think he should ride a white horse to do it.

Oh, and while I'm at it, I'm putting up a save here ont he discussion thread just in case. *save*

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Nurumaiel · 10-26-2004, 05:54 PM

I'd be heartily glad if Elessar completely destroyed the merlocks. They remind me of the water-shrews from King Solomon's Ring who attempted to eat the frog alive. *shudder of horror*

My SAVE is filled. The long line is slowly disappearing... maybe I should put another one up for Liornung?

Thank you kindly, Aylwen! Fine post!

*trails off to contemplate how she is going to turn this into 'book form' at the close so the lads can read it easier* (It's awfully exciting; they'll want to read it.)

It's awfully hard turning it into 'book form,' you know. So many different points of view to intertwine in a flowing way. Maybe I'll just leave it as it is and let them go through it the same way I'm doing it. It works that way.... I'm not lost.

(Maybe you are with my senseless rambling

)

My save is filled! Sorry about all the saves I've been putting up, but I have a limited amount of time online lately (I just opened in a show), and I want to be able to keep up with the action.

Great posts from everybody--I'm so enjoying this.
