Eorling Mead Hall Planning/Discussion Thread

[Nogrod]

I could write something on the building of the baker in a day or two.

Does lmp have any ideas whether there should be things happening on the day we're in as if I write about the building and go so far as to finish it, it will mean the hour will be quite late indeed.

I could as well post for just the beginning of the construction if that would give chances for other writers to take part in those actions.

I mean in the end the question becomes who are around and what they'd like to post on this day in the story.

My attitude toward rpg's at the Downs has evolved into, "whoever is here and posting, drives the story." It's frustrating and a waste of time to wait for people who aren't around enough to carry a Day or a scenario. So, those of us who are here and writing and have ideas for our characters, do post.

I have plans for Eodwine to throw a fit that trees are getting cut down, since the row fronting the Scarburg land are some of the only tall trees around. He might just forgive Thornden for murdering a sapling or two, but with all the stone in this stony land called the Scar and Scarburg, he will want the buildings to be built of stone, with wood only where necessary. So go haul it from wherever your characters find it.

I'm missing Lhuna! (... and here big untold secret.)

Eodwine will also sneak into the ruin with a lantern or somesuch and look for the dead bodies himself. A little ghoulish and morbid, but well, he's got a past to deal with.

And of course there's the continuing dialogue/cross-examination with Javan to write - which I haven't had time to get going on, with so much other stuff (my car died, church planning and politics have been really occupying my time, et cetera).

Whoops. I didn't think that Thornden would need to ask Eodwine's permission to chop down a tree for the baker.

And I just found out today (just made plans that is) that I'll be gone all next week, from Sunday to Sunday. I...doubt that I'll touch a computer in my absence, and if I do, I won't have time to write an actual post. I apologize in advance.

But Elempi, if you want to start and write that PM post before then, I am willing and able...at least to write part of it. However, don't feel rushed. At this point time, I know very well what it's like being crazily, insanely busy.

Nor should you. Thornden doesn't know all of Eodwine's quirks, and he's been rather close with information this Day. Besides, it'll make for an interesting conflict later.

I know. And that's fine, too... But at the time of the said conflict I am going to seriously wonder how on earth I got both my characters into trouble with Eodwine on the same day.

I beg everyone's pardon, but I'm about to leave home and will not have time to respond for Thornden. Bah. Oh well.

See you all when I get back, and I am so sorry I'm not caught up.

Firefoot: I took a liberty of borrowing Léof once again. If you do not wish him to take part I can always write some "new men at arms" there.

But I wasn't quite sure who there actually were at the place and I knew your character was... and it's nicer to write with someone than using different NPCs all the time.

I can continue that building-stuff hopefully pretty soon but if someone wishes to react at this point please do so.
