~*~ NOTICE ~*~

Let it be known that

Fordim Hedgethistle

known to those in the Shire as Master Hearpwine, and etc . . .
has now had his name engraved on the iron plaque that bears the list of the story-tellers of Gondor.

Huzzah!

Let all come to The Inn of the Seventh Star in Minas Tirith and raise a glass of cheer to Fordim.

** And for those wondering, drink and food are free on this occasion. And all are most welcome **

~*~

~*~

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seriously, everyone is welcome to come to the Inn in Gondor, in whatever character you'd like.

Give a word of congrats to Fordim and knock back a drink or two. I'm there, playing darts . . . challenge, anyone? . . .

Ok, I have finally gotten that post for Menecin on the thread. So I guess we are in the mist of number 8 on the outline. Pease note that Menecin has been hit by Avanill's dart, and becoming increasingly passive will no longer present a problem to our heroes.

Avanill has been true to his word, the arrow was not doused with a fatal poison (as Naiore might believe), but something that renders the subject relatively harmless.

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

End game outline

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

Dúlrain Et al

1. Dúlrain with the help of Toby and Gilly go after Benia.

2. Dúlrain kills Barrold and they free Benia

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

***WE ARE HERE***

4. end post

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

Amandur's group

1. Amandur Et al leave Rivendell, finding Dir and discovering the fates of Kaldir and Rauthain.

2. Léspheria and Naiore sense each other’s presence and a fierce unseen battle ensues.

3. Amandur's group moves to encircle Naiore, using Léspheria as bait to draw out Naiore. Naiore plays along; falsely letting Léspheria believe her plan is working, while going after Menecin and Vanwe.

4. Naiore finds Vanwe and Avanill, killing Avanill.

5. Léspheria realizes Naiore’s intent, and cries out warning, but too late. Naiore has Vanwe and is taunting Menecin.

6. Naiore is within bow shot of Léspheria, and Léspheria tries to reason with her.

7. An enraged Menecin attacks Naiore.

***WE ARE HERE***

8. Vanwe slips from her mother's grasp into the arms of Léspheria & Vanwe's show of pity and compassion stops her father from delivering the deadly blow.

10. Desperate and filled with rage, Naiore turns on Léspheria.

11. 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.

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

13. Naiore is killed!

11. End post.

Well done, Hilde!

Nerindel - how are you coming on filling your save? Also, I was wondering if you would like to get a post in there, reacting to Menecin, before I pick up again with Naiore. (Actually, I'm hoping you post in both spots before I come back with Naiore - it would make my job so much easier knowing what your characters are up to!

)

Hilde Bracegirdle · 09-29-2005, 10:48 AM

Thanks much, Ealasaide.

I just wanted to make a note here that I have changed the last paragraph of the post for Menecin, as I can't see him using a sword to pop those strings! He has now used the bodkin. (What ever was I thinking?!)

Ealasaide · 09-29-2005, 10:53 AM

AHA! I knew there was a reason I was waiting before printing out a copy.

Thanks for the notification!

Ealasaide · 10-11-2005, 12:27 PM

Hilde - your revisions for Menecin's post in #335 have been placed.

Pio - Hilde has made some changes to her post for Menecin in the second half of Post #335. If that post has already been transferred over to the Fan Fic site, I guess the revisions need to be transferred now, too. Thanks!

Nerindel - it was good to get your PM - looking forward to your post!

piosenniel · 10-11-2005, 12:36 PM

Actually - I haven't transferred anything in a long while. I'm waiting to see how post space #329 will be filled in first.
