Folwren, I think you may have misunderstood me a little bit. I wanted the group to do what they wanted and talk or whatever and not have to wait for me to do my post. I don't have a problem with the first part of your post, Incana being awake already and cleaning the fish and saying 'good morning'. What I do have a problem with is this(bolded):

Quote:

Incana said nothing, having the excuse to stay intent on her work. Athwen watched quietly for a moment before asking, ‘Where is everyone else?’

‘The men are gone fishing,’ Incana answered, motioning towards the river with her knife, ‘and Vaenosa is over there with the horses.’

‘Leod is with the other two?’ Athwen asked. Incana nodded, not quite knowing what to say to the look in Athwen’s eyes. Athwen paused a moment, and her eyes rested on the fish. Her stomach turned with uncommon sickness at the sight and she drew back involuntarily. What was it? The sight of the entrails, perhaps. . .but it had never bothered her before. . .before yesterday.

She got up quickly and brushed the stray grasses from her skirt. ‘I’m going to go look for him, I think,’ she said. Incana nodded again.

‘They’re over by the river. A little down stream, I think, but I’m not positive. Haven’t left camp this morning yet and that was only the general direction they went in.’

Incana is not like this, she would not just nod at a statement, or have a cold one word response. My character wouldn't have a problem looking into Athwen's eyes, in fact she would have noticed something wasn't right with your character that morning. She also would not have let the young girl go away from camp without offering some tea and/or something to eat. Also, Incana would have noticed that Athwen was fiddling with her hair and would have offered to brush it for Athwen before she went down to the river.

If you could change these few things in your post and/or leave them out that would be great. Thanks

Oi. Sorry. Terribly, terribly sorry. Will change it at once. I was trying to make it brief with your character but not uncomfortable, without you writing. I wasn't sure how you would mind me using your character. . .some people don't mind, but others do, and that's fine. I'll change it immediately. Give me a few minutes.

How 'bout if Incana offers her some tea, but Athwen declines? Will that work for you?
And, also, when she was messing with her hair, she was already walking away. It was rather something in the middle of nothing, actually. . .can we let that one slip and Incana not notice? Perhaps being pre-occupied with the fish?

I don't mind someone using my character, as long as I know ahead of time. I don't mind at all if Athwen declines Incana's offer. Thanks Folwren!!

Folwren · 03-14-2006, 11:02 AM

No problem! I know entirely how it is not wanting your character messed with. I apologize for misrepresenting her, and if you ever want me to change anything concerning your character again, don't hesitate to tell me. I'm glad you told me this time.

I'm about to post my edited post. Read it, and let me know what you think. If I don't have it right this time, maybe you could write out how you would have Incana react and I'll put it in.

EDIT: How's that?

Way better, thanks again!

Tevildo · 03-14-2006, 11:50 AM

Naria - I'm glad you're feeling better.

Folwren - Sounds good to me. I'll let your character decide where and when to approach Leod and the type of conversation they'll have. Leod will respond in kind to what Athwen says.

I see you mentioned Leod to Incana, so I'll just wait and see where this leads.

Just to be on the safe side, I'll mention that Osmod will not want to stay in the village. He has been there already and so he'll go down to the village with the group (Should they decide to do it) but will not stop to look around in the village as he feels they must hurry to prevent the same destruction happening to Bregoware. Any riders wanting to scout ahead with Osmod will be accepted

Also, during this scouting we could finally run into the Wulfham group!!

What do you all say?

All players

I'm just announcing, that I will be having a couple of weeks of more intensive working periods (RL), and won't be posting as frequently as I have this far - or then only less substantial reaction-posts (I hope I will have a chance or two to look at the situation more closely during the time, and I'll try to make something more relevant for the game from my part then). Kind of nasty, as things are just coming to get really interesting...

Bregos'!

I've made a save where Sythric thinks of going to take a look at the town (see the thread: I have a short depiction there). And just before my quieter time, I would like to make another post where Sythric checks the place and comes to some conclusions. After that, feel free to use Sythric as you see fit... I'll reclaim, if I think you have done something very badly in regard of his personality (=probably not).
