Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Folwren · 07-08-2011, 10:56 AM

I would like writing with Thornden again. Is there anybody in the great hall with whom he can interact? Legate, Lommy, Durelin, and Nogrod probably have characters out there. Any takers?

Firefoot, if you like, I imagine you can bring Leof into the hall, too.

Lord Athanar will treat Saeryn as someone who has just flipped; the pregnancy (it can drive some women crazy), the stress, the fears, the hopes... And he has some confidence in Eodwine being a decent and reasonable person.

So he will not relate what she said to him there in public (aka. he will not talk about it to anyone in public), but he will be a bit troubled by it, saddened and confused (as he thought him promising the place to their child was an offer more generous anyone could have reasonably hoped for - even if he had his own reasons to exit the Mead Hall in fifteen years or so in the first place; but those reasons he has not shared with anyone) and in a fatherly way, he is much worried about her.

Heh, one more thing Athanar and Eodwine should speak on.

I think lmp's last post is screaming for Thornden to meet Eodwine... and it would be good for those two to meet both in the "believability section" and in the "how things will shape up -section"...

I've been on vacation for the last week... didn't expect this would take off so quickly.

I doubt I'll be able to post before Monday (my cousin's getting married tomorrow and then there's a long drive back on Sunday), but definitely by then I'll get something up. I think it's time to figure out what Scyld's been up to lately, as well... quietly observing things in the background, I imagine.

Anything "Scyld" is eagerly anticipated.

Firefoot, has Scyld revealed himself to Scarburgians yet? I'm thinking not, but could be wrong. ???

Firefoot · 07-09-2011, 09:26 PM

Nope... he's still Nydfara to them. And the only other person who knows anything (Erbrand, I think) is gone.

I really think Rowenna has to stumble into him somehow. Just feels like it's meant to be.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 07-11-2011, 01:29 AM

Oh, that looks just very interesting, but just as I predicted, the storm of events comes just when I am not available... I had barely time to read this, I am now just popping at the computer for literally few hours and it looks like I won't be able to post basically until close to the end of August. Well, let's see how it goes - I can always post just some retrospective evaluation of stuff on Hilderinc's part. However then I should be able to post normally and since by the close of August I'll be spending most of my time with studying for philosophy exam, I surely would use good breaks and could get on some posting spree myself.

Durelin · 07-11-2011, 11:53 AM

Not that I am in the middle of the action here or anything but wanted to let everyone know that I will be gone from the 14th-19th.

So, Foley, I would really like to have Coen and Thornden interact here just as Eodwine has returned (and Coen is in the hall with the men so it'd make sense) but it'd have to be brief otherwise I'll leave you hanging for a while... I'm sure there will be time later, I won't be gone that long hehe.

Agreed.

It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to get anything up tonight, but definitely tomorrow I'm going to get posts up for both Leof and Scyld.

Ouch. Nothing stays secret in the kitchen, huh?

I'm so happy to see Scyld again.

Folwren · 07-14-2011, 08:45 PM

Firefoot, that post was amazing! Your talk among the men was so realistic it made me mad.

I decided Thornden wouldn't sit nearby and let them talk about Saeryn like that, so please work this in between these two paragraphs of your post somehow:

Quote:

“Hold your tongue,” Thornden said severely. His eyes clapped onto the last soldier who had spoken. “If you cannot speak respectfully of Lady Saeryn, then don’t speak at all.” He glanced about the table, taking them all in. “Another word in a similar thought, and I’ll see the man outside.” After a pause, he turned again to Coenred and they took up their conversation once more.

Quote:

“Enjoy it better if you weren’t sick,” someone chimed in, and the laughter rose louder. Léof felt distinctly uncomfortable hearing the Lady Saeryn discussed this way, and he wished he had a way of turning the conversation back to Eodwine. Fortunately, someone else did it for him.

“What I’d like to know is, why didn’t Lord Athanar formally accept Eodwine’s pledge? He said they had many things to discuss. That sounds to me like it’s not really over.”

Firefoot · 07-15-2011, 08:50 AM

Folwren - paragraph inserted. I like the flow of the post a lot better now - it was really missing that.

I also switched out the word "fealty" for "loyalty."

Folwren · 07-17-2011, 07:51 AM

Elempi,

If you would like, you can go ahead and have Saeryn tell Rowenna what has happened, if that will help you further your post. In my post, I considered just going over it very briefly, in a couple of sentences, saying Saeryn told Rowenna what the problem was. If you want to go ahead and have her do that so that Rowenna can more fully answer her, that's fine.

-- Foley

Lhunardawen · 07-17-2011, 02:13 PM

Elempi, I have taken quite a few liberties with Eodwine's actions in my post. Feel free to slap my writing hand (lightly please) and make corrections.

Folwren · 07-17-2011, 08:28 PM

The post I just posted is a co-post between Elempi and I.

littlemanpoet · 07-20-2011, 05:16 PM

Well, I wasn't sure if I could bring Rowenna round to supporting Saeryn's view on this, ambition or no ambition. Turns out Rowenna's calculating nature may be getting the best of them both.

I hope you're happy, Foley.

Folwren · 07-20-2011, 09:33 PM

I really regret holding people up, but I may not be able to post until tomorrow evening. There is a slight possibility I can post within the next thirty minutes, but if that does not happen, don't expect a response for another twenty-four hours or thereabouts. So sorry.
