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.

As I've said before , I'm quite prepared to post something but right now I'm at an impasse.
I interact primarily with the characters of Nogrod, Child and Durelin, who aren't really around. My primary plot function, which was to "see" something and try, unsuccessfully, to warn the elves, has kind of been pre-empted. So I don't really see where I can go from here. Sorry.

Lalaith, can your woman come on the hunt with us? If this game gets going ahead, your character may see something there with which to warn the elves. I'm perfectly serious...despite the winking fellow.

I'm sorry to have pre-empted. I confess to impatience based on lack of movement. If other writers' failure to write stopped you, then what can one say? But you point to the big problem with this rpg: the people we need to be writing, aren't doing it, and don't show any signs of writing any time soon.

With a creek and a groan Khandr emerges from the bushes.....

I don't know if my post makes any sense, but at this point a garbled post has to be better than no post. I've got a lead-in for Embla if she'd like to come and speak with Khandr. The poor fellow is a bit flummoxed and may actually be prepared to take Embla into his confidence.

Admitted. And I'm very sorry about it. This has just been the busiest autumn I've ever seen. But there's yet again light ahead. The next weekend is my first truly free weekend for ages and I'd be happy to try to catch up with this and to write something to get myself going again.

Nogrod,

If you need Khandr to give you any kind of "latch" to get into the plot line, just let me know.

That would be appreciated indeed. It would both make the entry back easier as I would have a situation to come into and it would also function as a further incentive to actually sit down and write as it now seems I might actually have the time for it.

That Thorn has seen and said his bit doesn't mean Embla can't. Besides, the two characters are different enough that they would probably do different things with the information, and convey it differently too.
