IMMY!!!!!!!

I'm so happy to see you! Ravion would have been so lonely without Aeron, though he'd never ever in a million years admit it...

alak, should I go ahead and make that change to my post?

Wow thanks for all the welcome backs! I feel so loved.

I'm very happy to be able to play with you all again...I really enjoyed the Ravion and Aeron moments. hehe

And Alak please go ahead and send me that post that you wrote up. =)

Orual, that would be great. Thanks.

I'm working on a post for Erebemlin's reply to Mellondu and in that he will state the game time we have to finish Book 1. I would like everything that's going to happen to wrap up Book 1 to occur within the next 2 days/3 nights (game time). The party will be leaving at dawn on the 3rd day.

That means in that time we need to:

Turn Tharonwe into the proper authorities
tell the women they will be staying behind
have whatever is going to happen with the women...happen
and get ourselves ready for the next phase

We also need a cliffhanger and a lead to get readers interested in reading the second part.

These are our goals, if you all want to brainstorm and plot and scheme...let's do it.

We're wanting to close this up sooner rather than later, because we have several really eager writers ready to join the pack and we don't want them losing their momentum.

Marigold across the marshy miles... Nice touch, alak!

Thanks Helen!

Do you remember way back on the discussion thread, when Ædegard took a liking to Leafa and you took a bet that everyone in the game would find romance? Well, I had replied that it would take one whopper of a plot twist for Erebemlin...yeah, I believe we've had one or two...or five.

Stray thought:

Elessar being who he is, if he caught wind of a scheme to find Nimrodel, he would certainly want in on it. Not that he'd go himself, but he'd be eager to send some soldiers or rangers or... he'd want to help somehow.

There are two possibilities for this:

1. Oh, boy, more new characters; or
2. Erebemlin replies to Elessar that he would like to accept-- Mellondu comments "Oh, great, an audience for my supposed insanity, now I'll never live it down, nor this life debt either"-- and Erebemlin, in a rare moment of emotional sensitivity coupled with good foresight, realizes if Mellondu is uncomfortable, he's less likely to allow Amroth to surface. Erebemlin turns down Elessar's offer in case extra (too many extra??) characters will lock Amroth away for sure.

Maybe something in between happens; Erebemlin accepts a few good men, but not too many. Alak will know!

A little clarification on Mellondu:

When Mellondu first began dreaming that he was Amroth, it was wonderful, adventurous, exciting, challenging, romantic (in the poetic sense, and in the "Gee She's Pretty" sense, both.) He let himself be swept away, gave Amroth all the control he wanted, and relaxed and enjoyed the trip.

Until his sister was threatened, and Amroth made no effort to renounce Nimrodel in order to save Mellonin. In not fighting Tharonwe for Mellonin's life, suddenly Amroth became a bad guy. Lack of trust now means that Mellondu has no interest in giving Amroth control-- none whatsoever.

But now there's this life-debt; he has to serve Erebemlin; so he knows Erebemlin is going to want Amroth back.

Here's a big rub-- until Mellondu begins to trust Amroth again, he may very well be *unable* to allow Amroth to surface, even if he agrees to try. Or-- maybe he can relax long enough for just a glimpse of Amroth before he quenches him again.

This may or may not come up during the week I'm gone but if it does, you're all forearmed.

OK-- in the morning, I'm off for vacation, nine days. Back a week from Sunday night, may not post til Monday morning after that. Enjoy, don't be shy, and here's hoping for lots of reading when I come back! Thanks again to Alak for taking the reins!

Do Immy and I need to bring Ravion and Aeron up to the current day? Or, rather, let me rephrase: how quickly to Immy and I need to bring Ravion and Aeron up to the current day?
