The Eorling Mead Hall is hardly in any state to hold a trial at...at least it wasn't twenty days previously, and it's not like those twenty days have been easy or given a lot of time to fix it up.

I think I put Thornden's age at 25 on my character's description bio, but I'm not entirely positive. I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off now, so I dont' have time to go check.

Elempi, I'm thinking about introducing my sister ... Thornden's sister into the game sometime this day. I'll do it after the trial, probably. Will that be alright?

Answers and questions...

- In the OtF I played a retired rider of Rohan (a rider of Croacht - the biggest Rohanian city in Wold - so not one of the real Eored anyhow). So I wouldn't be so keen to make another 40-year-old warrior-guy in this, as I'll be a man of arms here too: two veteran soldiers in a row is quite unimaginative RPG'ing... But if the other people are too young for the game's purpose, I might come up with being in the middle twenties to early thirties. You just tell me the age, and I'll put up with it. 20 is ok., as is 35... (I'll come up with suitable background stories with these as is required) If needs be, I could also play a gammer, but then my character would be less a man of arms and more of a carpenter...

- I will settle easily to the +20 days schedule (game-time), do not worry about that. I'll just come up with some other explanation of him being there. But still I ask, whether you would think it better for my character to be summoned to the Mead Hall by some authority (Form's character already was that way, so maybe something different with mine?) or is he just coming by - and then staying because of the circumstances? I think coming up with the reason to stay for my character (with no intention of staying in the beginning) during the day would be nice gaming - as we would try to come up with it - and then someone hitting the right key...

- I happen to be Lommy's father... And really. If Lommy's character also is a carpenter...? Wooops!
Well, I think we can make it this time, not to stuck in these overlong discussions with ourselves. We just got jammed in the GD, as the storyline we were building up was just too complicated to unfold in the GD-purposes (I think it would be more Gondor-style of a plot, being opened in a year (RL) or something) Just to you others: do not let us loose in this game!

Um, I don't really know how old Kara is. She just sort of, turned up, without much of a history! I suppose she'd be around 18-20 ish, something like that anyway.

I'm leaving it up to Thornden to see that the builders do a good job. Eodwine will be having words with him if there is still no basic hall with a roof by the end of 20 days!

That'd be fine.

Ain't no need for a Gob and Twiddle with all these characters to keep things busy... think I'll hold onto them for some later day and time....

Oh. Well, that's kind of stiff, but I guess it'll have to make do.
