OK - my SAVE is filled in. The First Watch is under way.

Who would like to wind it up and get us to the next morning and ready to move out?

I did leave a SAVE in case anyone needs to do a post pre-Watch.

It seems as if we're nearing the end of the game. How do the remaining players want to handle it?

Shall we just have us setting out for Imladris-to-be? And then perhaps each write a final epilog for our character(s) as to what occured with them?

Or . . .?

As Durelin says, I really don't think I'm going to be able to participate in the RPG any more. I've enjoyed it immensely, but of late I've found that I'm having a terrible writer's block that simply won't go away. I'm going to be taking a break from all RPG games, and lightly play about with my own little stories and work on getting my creativity back properly.

Thank you to all the players in the game, and to Durelin for starting it up and allowing me to play. And temporary farewells! I'll be reading along as often as I have the time.

Realistically, I don't see much prospect of anyone returning who hasn't posted fairly recently (IE who hasn't at least got their char out of the city). My suggestion would be that we get the survivors a little further on to a point where it is felt safe for the Dwarves and Lorien elves to leave them (I assume they weren't planning on going all the way to the yet unknown destination .. unless they were to return home via the high pass, which seems improbable and circuitous especially if it hasn't actually been widely discovered yet....) and then go for the epilogues.

Sorry as I will be to say goodbye to some of the marvellous characters that have appeared in the telling of this tale, it is clear that the main action is now over and that there is likely to be limited appetite for too many journey posts - however a final skirmish might be fun if everyone is up for it .. a small rogue band of Orcs perhaps? Anyway..I will fit in with everyone else.. I know what happens to Losrian more or less - it is the others I am curious about. Although the fates of some I guess we will now never know.

I had hoped to make a post tonight but due to connection problems it will probably have to be a "save" now - tomorrow...and tomorrow and tomorrow..

Arry, could you please place this post in your Save for anyone needing to post before the first watch?

Maegisil bowed to Celeborn, though he kept it at simple respect, and made it clear that he would not bow to the Lorien Lord as if her were royalty. He had enough of lords and their titles, the formalities and the hours of idle talk and what they considered to be important and careful planning, wasting the time of the entire people they governed. The use of his own title pained him. He could hear Celebrimbor’s voice again in his head, but he shook the memories off.

“Thank you, my lord,” he muttered. Hopefully the bitterness in his voice would be taken for grief. Turning to Sairien, who he had made sure stood beside him, and whispered to her, and she led the survivors they had brought with them toward the center of the camp. He then walked with Celeborn behind them, and spoke more.

“So Gil-galad’s men did arrive?” he asked the elf-lord.

“Yes. Their many delays are obvious, the dangers and the miles were enough to hold them back for far too long, and they do grieve it. But such was the risk the Lord Celebrimbor knew he was taking when he ventured so far from Lindon.”

“I doubt that he knew it,” Maegisil said, barely separating his clenched teeth as he spoke. Celeborn eyed him, but left the topic be. That was more nonsense that would be debated over for hours in some counsel hall in Lindon. If they wished for the Counselor Maegisil’s presence at such a meeting, though, they would not receive it. Anything concerning the former Lord of Eregion that the King and his lords did not already know would remain a secret to them.

After a short silence, Celeborn spoke again, his voice even softer than before. “There is no chance that your lord lived, Counselor?”

Maegisil sighed. “Please, my lord. I am Maegisil, and I am no Counselor.” Running a hand through his hair, he licked his lips and watched the ground pass beneath his feet. “And no, my lord. I can tell you with all certainty that Celebrimbor died with his city.”

Thank you.

And as for the end, however everyone would like it, I will be preparing an Epilogue to wrap things up.

Folwren · 12-07-2005, 04:21 PM

Well. . .I would like to get back to the Dwarven halls and meet Riv again, if he survived. Or if he didn't survive, I'd still like Bror to get back and hear of it. After that, I should be ready to end.

I've leaped us along a few weeks - getting us around the Hollin Ridge a bit.

It's evening - the Dwarves are discussing leaving the company in the morning and heading back to Khazad-dum.

Envinyatar · 12-08-2005, 03:48 PM

My SAVE is filled.

Mithalwen

I've left a hook for you if Losrian will allow overly-formal-with-the-ladies-at-times Ondomirë to walk along with her . . .

Durelin

Will you go ahead and handle Elrond's response to you in your post? Or did you want me to write for Elrond? Either way is fine with me.
