Eorling Mead Hall Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

That works for me. I won't be able to post probably until Friday

so if Celuien wants to handle matters, what I see happening is T & T rushing by back to the circular "room", Falco and Garmund and L&R hearing them go by, Falco shushing Garmund. Then Falco will tell L&R to stay right there, and F & G will go back to the circular place and "explain things" to Thornden.

After that, I'm kind of stuck. The deal is, Falco wants to have Garmund help him convince L&R to go to the Mead Hall, but somehow he has to get rid of Thornden and Trystan and keep Garmund with him. How to do this, I don't know. One alternative is for all four to go back to the Mead Hall and for Falco to spirit Garmund away "because Garmund really wanted to back for a second look".

So I don't know. What do you think? If you have other ideas you'd rather pursue, go ahead. Till Friday....

I can try to write something tomorrow, but I have a reception to play at on Friday afternoon, so I'm a little busy until this weekend.

Well, Friday won't be too late, actually, because it turns out that Laiudanama and I have more writing to cover.

Well, you could come out with it honestly and tell Thornden the truth. He's rather understanding in most cases. Right now, he's just a little frightened that Falco and Garmund might be in danger of being hurt. If Falco could convince him that L&R weren't intending any harm, he'd probably not be too adverse to their talking to the two of them.

If Thornden were actually Foley, I'd say absolutely. But Thornden is a 6 foot tall plus man, whom L&R apparently fear like a ghost. Falco doesn't want to bring in anyone who might make it so L&R turn tale and never show up again. (shrug)

What I meant was you might tell Thornden that L&R is afraid of Thornden because of his height, and that they're not going to hurt Falco or Garmund (Thornden may be a bit skeptical about that claim, yes), and then, if Falco is convincing, Thornden might agree to sit and wait until Garmund and Falco have finished their talk, maybe convinced them to return to the Mead Hall.

Of course, if anyone knew that Medreth is at the Mead Hall and told Thornden, that might be a convenient way to get Thornden out of there pretty easily. Maybe. Just tossing out ideas.

HOLD it, Elempi! Thornden and Trystan haven't moved yet, since Lai's last post! She has to write at least one more post until we return back. I'm sorry for the false alarm Wednesday. I thought we were going to be heading back immediately, but it turns out not.

Can you change the last paragraph in your last post?

Sorry!

I'll wait for you and Lai to get Thornden and Trystan past Falco and company before posting again. How does that work?

littlemanpoet · 09-19-2006, 09:44 AM

We seem to have hit a snag. Apparently, Foley & Lai are unable to lend their able pens to EMH right now.

Therefore, we shall proceed as befits the occasion: I will post another piece in the story down the road, and Foley & Lai may post their fill-ins on this thread, from which they can be placed by the trusty Pio where they best fit. Everybody got that?

Now to figure out what to have Falco do....
