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.

Looks like this game body might pull out of its coma after all, Elempi.

But I won't get too hopeful yet.

This is what bill_n_sam, Pio, and I were working on:

(This is of course assuming that such a fete is going to take place ).

I had thought maybe some retainer(s) of Uldor, or maybe a drunken (?) Uldor himself, might try to get a little too friendly with Mem (just because she's blind and very vulnerable) and then an outraged Dag would intervene (to the great peril of himself ) I was hoping it could be Uldor because then Dag will pretty much have to throw in his lot with Ulfast, who is probably going to save him from being gutted by Uldor. Anyway, with this Falki development, it could be that Falki intervenes, or maybe they both could, and that would create some conflict in Grimr's family, as far as their "loyalty" to Uldor goes. all that being said just as a way to further develop all the infighting going on and how the commoners get dragged into it all.

Why don't we make it one of Uldor's retainers? Can you edit that lmp? Give the retainer a name. Either I or Pio will write a brief look back at the incident. I'll PM bill_n_sam and see if she will return to the game.

littlemanpoet · 11-02-2007, 04:53 PM

I'll change it any way the group wishes. I think Foley is going to have to decide on how Uldor, or any of his retainers, are used. As soon as this is all figured out, I'd be happy to edit that post as you wish.

Folwren · 11-02-2007, 05:24 PM

Well...do what you want with Uldor's retainers. lol. I'm not that protective. And I'm sorry if I appear to overly protective of any character...

I'd say make it a retainer. However, if it would work well for players for it to be Uldor, then I may think over it some more and decide in favor of it. But it's just so awful. Poor, little Mem.

If he thought he could get away with it without it being found out, perhaps he would do it. Otherwise...I don't think so. I'll have to think on it more. You tell me if it's of great importance to your plot ideas and I'll decide.

littlemanpoet · 11-02-2007, 08:19 PM

I'm going to revise post #181 so that Ulfast is forward but no worse. Now that I think about it, I'd prefer not to do that plot twist in regard to Mem. Since there's a suitor that would go mad in rage and a brother in law that we could use better, I'll tone it down to Ulfast being just a little too familiar.

EDIT: the post is revised; no evil deed has been done, but it's still rather ominous, admittedly.

SAVE filled.

littlemanpoet · 11-04-2007, 04:59 PM

I'll try to put something together tonight.

CaptainofDespair · 11-05-2007, 08:56 AM

Well, since Folwren knows I'm around and somewhat/sort of able to play, I shall also let the rest of you know. There's no sense in keeping it secret.

Anywho, I will try to absorb recent roleplay goings-on and catch up as soon as possible. College and its research papers shall hold me back for this week, but after that I'll be somewhat free for a time (though, I do need to read a lot of things...).

Nogrod · 11-05-2007, 09:09 AM

Good to hear from you CoD!

I think we should keep that guy sent to trail Thorn as Ruadan and not Brodda.

So maybe we both (Foley and me) edit our posts a bit so that Uldor calls for Brodda to take care Thorn is caught and he gives the task to Ruadan who is his man. I could edit my post in a similar fashion and remove the sentence where it is said that Khandr knew the man who was running after Thorn.

Is that ok.?

Folwren · 11-05-2007, 09:17 AM

That sounds fine to me. I edited my post to make Brodda Ruadan, but it just didn't seem right htat Uldor should go immediately to this Ruadan fellow who I have never written about and have not developed in the slightest.

So, maybe I should go back and change my post to how it was originally?

Perhaps you, Nogrod, could make note in your post that Brodda went to get another man (Ruadan).

O-or...to thicken the plot even more, perhaps Brodda gets Ruadan to help him, and Brodda is still on Thorn's trail even after Fastarr has taken out Ruadan?

By the way, I'm going under the assumption that Fastarr doesn't kill Ruadan, he just knocks him out. You're leaving the actual kill to me and Uldor, right? (Gooolly, that sounds horrible!)

-- Folwren

littlemanpoet · 11-05-2007, 10:46 AM

If Ruadan is Brodda's man and not Uldor's, then why is Ruadan's life in danger from Uldor? Wouldn't his life be in danger from Brodda? Because Uldor would hold Brodda responsible for his underling's failures, not the underling. So Brodda's life is in danger from Uldor, not Ruadan. Unless you make Ruadan one of the formerly unnamed retainers of Uldor.

Folwren · 11-05-2007, 11:05 AM

I would think that Ruadan would be in trouble with Uldor because, really, it was Uldor that he failed and not Brodda. Besides that, Uldor can't kill Brodda because Brodda lives.

And maybe, just maybe, Ruadan won't die, either. It highly depends on how things fold out.
