Treachery of Men Discussion/Planning Thread

[Nogrod]

If I have time to write Fastarr in this evening (RL), should I make the two meet outside and get in together? We might then use the servant-NPC Hugo to take the cheese to where it belongs...

If yes, have you any points to make (besides the ones I can read from your earlier posts and Bio) as to how Hunta would greet his kinsman? If I write something, I'll be doing it within the next four hours time, about.

Ang,

Crashing the party with Elves is an interesting complication!

Khandr is too much of a diplomat and has too much respect for the old ways to throw out Elves but he'll have to figure out a way to "invite" them to leave at some point in the evening so that the Borrim can plot and plan freely. Meanwhile, Khandr will try to worm out what information he can from the visitors. Khandr will be discreet but he may give some indication that he thinks something "fishy" is going on at the Hall. This will not be said directly, but a bright Elf will undoubtedly get the meaning.....

One of them glanced in his direction and Hunta found himself gazing into two deep eyes that glittered like starlight. He quickly ducked his head, overcome by a queer feeling the likes of which had never yet come to his isolated and callow heart. Rather than face them directly he slunk into a side street and found a different way back to the house of the lord Khandr.

Fordie & Ang --

I'll put a post at the start of Fordim's latest post for Grimr to redirect the Elves to Khandr's hall.

I've taken Fastarr and Hunta into the dinner-party. And the cheese is taken care of too.

Fordim: care to notify me if there is something in my usage of Hunta that does not fit your view of him. I'll make the changes required, certainly.

I hope to see the party gather soon enough...

[Nogrod]

Ang & Child: I hope it sounds reasonable enough to you as I have said in my post that the Borrim hunter-party had been to see Ulfang the first day they had come in to the town to introduce themselves to the local lord. I think that sounds plausible...

Sounds good, Nogrod.

Save filled. Lalaith - you're up next.

Sheesh, Durelin, I tell you - I do wish Jord had said some of her things out loud. I would have had perfect answers for them. But that's okay. I have ideas already spinning in my mind.

How much longer do you want to go with these two together? I need to get Uldor back eventually to get Ulfast's note about the banquet.

How am I liking playing an evil character? It’s interesting. Interesting because it’s difficult. Uldor repulses me. I hate him. He is disgusting and vile and his very thinking is sickening. ‘Do what it takes, cost what it will, kill who needs to be killed, I will have power. And when I have power? I do what ever I jolly well please. No more of this faked goodness, no more morals...I am very excited, but I can wait.'

It’s also difficult to play opposite your character, because I find Jord equally evil and vile (oh wow, do you notice? Vile is Evil with it’s ‘E’ moved to the end!). See, if I had a good, honorable man instead of Uldor, I’d have him say some stuff and get out of her clutches. But with Uldor, I can’t, because he’s likely to be attracted to such harlotrous woman. She's so flattering when she speaks it's sickening. Have you ever eaten something so sweet that your stomach turns? That's what I feel Uldor should feel like, but then I realize...no...he's evil.

Anyhow, I’ll get them separated. If you don’t mind, I’m going to twist that smile of hers and make it rather beautiful, trying to draw him in. I don’t know if you wanted the smile to try to make him like her, or if the smile was supposed to be mocking or what, but it’ll be seductive. No fears, my dear moderators, he won’t fall. He can’t afford to get mixed up even with the most beautiful of ladies. Besides, I can’t afford to write such stuff.

My save is filled. Durelin, let me know if I did alright.

It is so tough playing this character!! Augh! I can't help but be possitively repulsed by Jord, but how on earth am I supposed to logically make Uldor also repulsed? Anyhow, as you may tell, even though he got out of it this time, he's still thinking about her....
