Good stuff, Folwren! I've moved my save to after your last post. I'll try to fill it by tomorrow evening.

Maybe a late lunch or an early dinner?

The problem is, how do we know when it would be the one or the other?

But if it's afternoon in the Chieftain's hall...

Maybe we then should just go with the dinner (as that also sounds more suitable when we have talked about a feast of sorts) as soon as we can get started and just try to finish everyone - people in the chieftain's hall & people at the dinner (and others) - about the same time to go forwards to the night etc. smoothly? I don't think it such a discrepancy that some of us would talk on a couple of hours different plane at a time?

How do you think Ang, Child, others?

I will be able to post something on Monday the earliest, more probably on Tuesday.

I'm with Noggie on this one. What say the rest of us?

Kath · 01-08-2007, 01:46 PM

Sounds fine to me.

I agree.

I've been in other rpg's where the time line on two sides of the story runs slightly differently at certain points. The important thing is that we all end up on the same page timewise by late nightfall when folks go home to their beds. I think we can do that.

I'll try to get a post up late tonight (real time) where the house is prepared for "dinner" and we're waiting for the arrival of guests. I will be suitably vague about precisely what time this "dinner" is. (That covers a multitude of sins.) If someone wants to forge ahead before that and do a post of their own arrival at the house, that would be fine with me as well.....I'll just incorporate that response in my own post. Plus, people can filter in at different times if they have some other business they need to finish up in their writing (Perhaps Fordim?). We will be serving sweet wine and appetizers as a prelude to dinner.

At least this will get us all writing. Ang, if you see any serious problems with this slight adjustment, let us know. Otherwise it's full steam ahead.

Looks good to me.

I try to make a post or two to the Fellowship-rpg tomorrow (it's now a bit past midnight here) and will then post for my character's entry into the dinner - whether the party is on or not... I will be making Fastarr enjoying the appetizers if nothing has happened so far.

Borrim

The set-up post for the Borrim feast is up.

As you can see, Khnadr will "assign" everyone a particular courtier or household to spy on. Women characters will be assigned to women at court. Presumably Briga will spy on the wife of Ulfang.

Lalaith -- would you be willing to have your character spy on Durelin's bat lady?

I hope you like living dangerously.

Everyone else ....if you have a preference for your character, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll just throw names in a hat and pick.
