Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Folwren · 10-13-2010, 07:59 AM

Elempi, my heart (almost) truly stopped and then skipped a beat when I saw you had posted. A bright day just got brigther. Welcome back.

Post 596 on the game thread gives the clearest idea of Athanar's authority. It appears that, upon hearing of Eodwine's condition and the unlikely chance that he should ever recover, King Eomer gave Athanar possession of Scarburg. Do you think he'd change that if Eodwine were to return?

Eodwine's and Saeryn's reunion will be nice. Will he send word before him, or just come? Never mind. I just read your game post and see that he's sending a letter.

And now that Elempi's back, folks, what should we do about this extraordinarily long day? I am currently working on a searching party post and will have it posted within the hour.

I posted. Legate and Firefoot, although I wrote to where Thornden turned around, until everyone has decided to move on, you guys can write posts about your characters during the search.

Elempi, would you like an overview of what has happened, or do you think you got most of it by reading?

Hi Elempi! Welcome back.

Funny how Elempi's return makes me feel guilty for not posting for a while...

Folwren · 10-13-2010, 09:42 AM

Lommy, if you want, I can bring the boys back and then you can post.

Thinlómien · 10-13-2010, 09:47 AM

I'll tell you once I've read your post and thought of what to write about... After all, have four characters atm so I don't have to write about Cnebba.

Folwren · 10-13-2010, 10:02 AM

I was thinking perhaps for Modtryth to be able to interact, too....

Great posting, Foley. I will see if I want to write something about the search itself, I think that unless I want to introduce some dramatic scene about Hilderinc almost drowning in a pool, I will go through that only very briefly... I don't know if Firefoot is around to post for Léof, so only if he wanted to do something...

Maybe I could have Hilderinc have a few remarks to Thornden when they are still on the way, though. There is still the thing about Hilderinc seeing Thornden talking to "the scout" (as he believes). Hope poor Thornden can cope with this threat of being discovered from all sides

I'm satisfied with my reading. My thought is that Eodwine will not know what has been going on, and so I don't want to know too well either. That would make it come off more realistic. Of course, I know enough anyway, for example that Athanar has been having a lot of difficulty establishing his authority in spite of King Eomer's writ of proclamation because of Scarburgians' loyalty to a certain previous eorl.

I do need to know how much rpg time has passed. Some help?

Ha. Not much...uh, let me see...Saeryn is something like three months pregnant, maybe? And we're calculating that she conceived immediately after marraige. And this is just the day after Athanar's arrival. Eodwine wouldn't know about her pregnancy, I don't think. But I could be wrong. In fact, I wil check to make certain, because I might easily be wrong.

Just like Foley said, and I could add that it is the 12th November in the game (now finishing the day, actually). You can compare it with the game-time you remember, LMP

There's been some dispute with these nearby lords and that's why Athanar was appointed, also to sort of bring order and make sure they are really serving their king and not just stuffing their own treasuries and such... I guess that's the main few points from the "global picture"...

P.S. My post for Hilderinc is almost ready
