Treachery of Men Discussion/Planning Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I will be reading over the threads tomorrow and trying to unthaw my brain. If anyone has ideas for the Borrim and/or my character, please let me know on this thread or by p.m.....

I don't know how clearly it is worked out when the hunt is versus the muster. I guess the muster has started and will take one week? Two? During that time the hunt takes place. Wouldn't the hunt take place the next day? Or was it two days after the feast?

Posts could be written describing preparations for the hunt, whether of the hardware variety or the human contact variety.

Thanks, Elempi, for taking hold of the reins. I kind of needed it just now, having been extremely busy this last week. My business will continue over the weekend and only on Monday will I be back in full force again. . .

The hunt is taking place one week after the feast. It says so in the invitation that Khandr sent to the Ulfangs. This week should be written quickly, maybe within two or three posts from different people.

Yes. That sounds right.

As for the muster...no one, so far as I know, has any characters really affected by the muster, so that really doesn't need to be addressed until after the hunt. I think Uldor is expecting his messengers back within a week. So I plan on writing concerning that after we have finished the hunt.

Thanks again.

That means that Thorn (and Fleet) will be there by the time of the Hunt. Hmmmm...!

Elempi, allow me to give you fair warning. Uldor's not the type to necessarily put up with Thorn's babbling for very long...in fact, he won't put up with it for any time at all if his talk gets too dangerous to Uldor.

I thought you might like to know.

I have narrated a full seven days to bring the rpg to the hunt. If there is anything anyone wants changed, please let me know and I will of course do so.

Folwren · 09-26-2007, 10:55 AM

I fear it is a poorly written post, but I have gotten the Uflings to the Borrim place.

I'm terribly sorry for not having been around - I've been awfully busy.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to be able to continue in this story. Between the crazy work hours I'm going to have for the next five weeks (I've hit 40 and it's only Wednesday) and non-work issues, I haven't had time to write anything and I don't think my inability to particpate is fair to everyone else.

Apologies to all, and best wishes with the story.

Save filled. Speak up, man....speak up!

Elempi walks up to the prone figure that is "Treacher of Men RPG" and gives it a nudge at the shoulder. No response.

"Hmmm...."

Elempi puts his ear close to the figure's nose, listening for the faintest hint of breath.

"Uh oh, no sign of life."

Elempi straigtens and looks around.

"Worse and worse: no one in sight."

Elempi puts his hands to his mouth to effect a megaphone.

"Hello! Anybody out there? A medic? A miracle worker? If not, maybe we'd best put this corpse underground before it stinks up the place!"

Elempi waits for an answer.

Folwren · 10-30-2007, 10:46 AM

It's got faint signs of life in it yet, seeing as how you and I are still paying some attention to it. But we can't carry the game by ourselves.

Precisely.

I've given my previous post more than 10 hours to receive some response, and yours, Foley, is the only one. That's moribund.

Considering the great start this "body" had, and its current condition (virtually comatose), it's ridiculous to try to continue this.

There needs to be posting at least once per week by those who have said, within the last 2 months, that they are still in. This includes Child & Durelin nad possibly Mithalwen.

If by the end of November there is not posting at least once per week by at least four writers, I'll pull out.

"Babbling?" You must be channeling Uldor.

One characteristic of Thorn is wisdom. Not having any special abilities nor the protection fo 'the gods', he won't be stupid.

Well, good, I am sincerely glad to hear it, for your sake.

I'm off and won't be returning until Monday. Have a good weekend, everybody!

My sake?!? I'm not the one who has to face Uldor, Thorn is.
