Abduction in Edoras Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

JennyHallu · 10-20-2006, 01:29 PM

Hey folks:

Things have slowed up again, but we're getting near to the end of the story! Let's not lose hope within sight of the goal!

I'd like us to get a good idea of what's going on, and where we're headed, as well as see who is still checking the thread. I think we've lost Alcarillo altogether, unless anyone knows a way to reach him other than PM.

Can everyone post here something quick in answer to these questions? (Thanks, Fea, for the idea!)

What goals do you have for your characters by the end of the story?

What needs to be done in order to fulfil those goals?

What events do you expect to occupy your next post?

Let's get things organized so we can wrap this up.

What goals do you have for your characters by the end of the story? Degas needs to accept responsibility fully and display a bit of adulthood. Feo needs to find a place to stay before Degas gets back to Edoras. Farahil must have reason to go to Edoras with Degas. Adragil should display Adragil-ness to the utmost degree.

What needs to be done in order to fulfil those goals? Two posts. One that I outlined in my save, one that leaves off with Farahil and Degas riding north and Feo with Adragil. Jenny, if you want Farlen to leave off with anything specific, could you provide me with details?

What events do you expect to occupy your next post? I feel so on top of things. Already outlined it. Degas will meet the brothers, explain what's up, they'll both discover/be informed of Degas's intentions with Lin. Adragil will take a liking to Feo that will lead to Feo staying with him when Degas rides north.

I don't have any particular goals for either of my characters. Guess I did this more for my sake then theirs.

Anyhow, my next post will be for Thornden, in which he and his three men are going to go searching for Sorn and stumble upon Eodwine and Garstan instead. And that's been due for sometime, I merely forgot about it. I will attemp to write that now and have it up some time this afternoon. I'm afraid that's at least what Elempi and Celuien are waiting for.

What goals do you have for your characters by the end of the story?

To help rescue Linduial.

What needs to be done in order to fulfil those goals?

Capture the baddies and keep as many allies as possible alive.

What events do you expect to occupy your next post?

Trying to keep Eodwine and Garstan from being mistakenly killed by Thornden and his three lackies. Getting back into the thick of things despite Garstan's protests that he can't protect him anymore. Informing Deren that he has not in fact rescued Linduial.

Tracking down Sorn and finding out what happened to Linduial.

What events do you expect to occupy your next post?

Garstan trying to keep going with Eodwine and the rest of the party. Garstan and Eodwine narrowly missing being attacked by Thornden. Musing about how best to continue to be in the rescue party and keep Eodwine out of danger despite having a pretty badly injured arm.

Hm. It seems I need to do a little bit of writing so that you and Elempi can get writing, too.

I'll try very, very hard to write something tonight, and I apologize very much indeed that I didn't fulfill my promise yesterday.

Has anyone heard from Aguirel? I don't want to seem pushy...

- Tara

EDIT:

It's a teensy bit silly to fill this out for Sorn, but here it is anyway...

What goals do you have for your characters by the end of the story?

Death, very simply. I'm not certain Sorn will have any sort of miraculous attack of clarity on his warped sight of the world. Perhaps that would be a little (thinks of a better word) silly.

What needs to be done in order to fulfil those goals?

A tangle with Gurth.

What events do you expect to occupy your next post?

As it stands, I'm not sure if Sorn should bump into Gurth straight away. Does Haleth really wish to confront him? I'm open for this, Fire , but it may be a bit cramped.

Firefoot · 10-21-2006, 07:51 PM

What goals do you have for your characters by the end of the story?

Scyld: some kind of trust of Linduial/possibly swears fealty to her. I'm still seeing where this is going.

Haleth: Death. I don't know if that means he gets tangled up with Sorn somehow or what, though.

What needs to be done in order to fulfil those goals?

Um... I guess getting off my butt and posting would help. Yeah, Haleth's arrival would be useful. Will happen by the end of the weekend

What events do you expect to occupy your next post?

Haleth arrives. Scyld taking Linduial off into the wilderness.

Folwren · 10-21-2006, 08:05 PM

Anguirel's gone until something like Oct. 28. He'll be back then, though. I'd PM him if I were you and remind him he has a save. He may be distracted with his new RPG in The Shire.

Post is almost up.
