Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread

[Durelin]

I've been planning to post, and then losing the time. I went straight from a January term to my spring semester and haven't been allowed time to adjust lol. I'll get a post up as soon as I can.

Though, shall we wrap up the drills? I don't think they're something to linger on. After the drills might bring more opportunity than the drills themselves (I know Coen and Thornden need to actually talk, and soldiers could interact.). I don't think we have enough soldiers being played to have even one-on-one drills be too interesting?

Just thoughts.

[Nerindel]

But actually, are you around Nerindel? Would you like your characters to meet lord Athanar or not?

Yes, sorry work has been a bit hectic lately and the preparations for last nights Burns Supper took up more of my time than I thought it would I should have some free time tonight, hopefully I can get Iohmair's post up, post again for Balvir and pm you my idea's for Mat and Aeol's meeting with Athanar.

Sounds like my life... although I have never actually made Haggis.

Just pick the interesting ones first. Anyway I'll be all ears for any suggestions concerning the meeting.

I have been kind of thinking around the same lines, or having a similar dilemma. I am really not keen on writing an one-sided description of Hilderinc having a fight with Random Soldier No.#13, and there is not much of a good choice to fight with somebody else, now that Lithor is gone and other characters who are sort of soldiers, like Crabannan, are not taking part. So the choice would be only if Foley's character (Quin) or eventually one of the bosses (Thornden/Coen) wanted to have fight with Hilderinc (but then, especially with the bosses it probably does not make that much sense). But if nobody wants to, we can as well just make it that there could be some more interaction after the training, like Dury said, possibly using something that happened during the matches as food for thought, resp. talking. And especially if we are faced with the news of the two runaways (and especially the deserting soldier, Lithor) right after the training, the reactions from various characters of ours at one place might be truly interesting.

Legate, I'd be fine if your character fought Quin. I am not sure exactly if Hilderinc would wish to fight with him or if he wanted to fight with one of the Scarburgians. It may be that he sees Quin being less than eager to join, realizes he's never sparred with him, and engages him. Whatever you want to do.

Durelin, I'm open for anything, too. In fact, it wouldn't be inconceivable for us to write about Coen and Thornden talking even before Legate and I have fully decided or written about Quin and Hilderinc fighting.

Okay, that's one possible thing. My kind of initial idea was that they would simply totally randomly stumble upon each other (i.e. found themselves next to each other and thus they would come to fight each other), but then, maybe especially if Quin seems reluctant, Hilderinc might indeed engage him. Well... if so, should we make it some sort of joint PM-post? That is, depending how much we want to dig in this... I do not necessarily relish in writing combat scenes unless I have some really brilliant ideas... or just showing the kind of basic encounter and how they think of each other at that moment, or what they can think about... which can serve as good food for thought for later... so it's just upon you if you think we should make it a joint post or if I should just start and post something and you later post yours... (I will try to come up with something anyway and then act according to your reply...)

[Folwren]

PM posts are fun.

I'm in class, so can't elaborate.

[Folwren]

Legate, I would be willing to do a PM post if you wanted to. If you think that would be worth while, you can go ahead and initiate it. It would be interesting to bring out more of both our characters' characeristics. I would like it.

I'd love to contribute something maybe on the more domestic side of the Mead-Hall at the moment, but I'm still confused by the timelines compared to the council and Groin's last post. Does anyone have any thoughts?

All right, sounds good, I will try to make something... in about six hours from now, I'll look at it and see what I can come up with
