Treachery of Men Discussion/Planning Thread

Perhaps, Foley, it might be helpful to consider that Uldor doesn't have much of a conscience. He's too ambitious and ruthless and willing to lie to himself to believe what he wants to believe - such is the nature of evil - so the self-doubt you put in the tale end of that post could be quite temporary, and of course Jord could "sweeten" the temptation in whatever ways Gwath deems appropriate.

I can post for Ulfast and for Thorn early this week, maybe yet tonight. Then Gwath can post Thorn's death by Jord's hand (no doubt). And then things can wrap up as Foley suggested. Sound good?

I guess so. I can work that. Right now, he's just wondering which is the best for himself - the elves or Morgoth?

Gosh, would Jord really want to kill Thorn when Uldor already has torture in mind?

Can Jord control herself enough not to commit the deed, especially when she can rationalize that her version of killing is a most exquisite torture? And nobody said she had to do it fast.

I guess Gwath's the only one who can answer that question. If I were writing an evil character (which I am), I'd leave Thorn to the torturer's (which I did).

So what's next here? Does someone need to narrate the end of Thorn and get the wagons of war rolling?

Finishing Thorn is a job for either you Folwren, I'd say.

I'll help out with them wagons o' war.

I take it you meant, "either me, OR Folwren, right? If so, I don't quite agree. Gwath, you're a full player in this now, so your ideas would be helpful too. So do you have any suggestions as to what would be the best way to proceed, Gwath or Foley?
