If anyone else wants to get in a reply to the wolves, please do so soon. The game seems to be slowing down, and there's really not a lot of time left in the game. They haven't even made it to the Old Forest yet. Sondo's going to be sending word out that they need to get away (though probably not so all the Big Folk can know), so if you want to have your character start moving in that direction it would be well.

Firefoot · 03-12-2005, 03:50 PM

Okay, here's the deal (in case anyone isn't clear):

Sondo sent Rory and Marroc off with supplies.
Sam went off to find Sassy, and will presumably find Bingo as well, since they were in the same tree.
Reggie was sent off by himself.
Sondo is with Falco; I wasn't sure how open or proud Falco would act so I left that to you, Nuru.

They will be meeting in a stand of trees; they will camp there for the night and have a real dinner. (Feel free to include this in your posts...) The wolves will back off into the shadows again; I'll put up a closing post for them sometime soon. By tomorrow afternoon (providing everything has wrapped up) I will move it on to the next day, and the hobbits will finally reach the Old Forest.

Okay?

I know that Firefoot's character has sent you to fetch Sassy -- but she's not going with you, so please don't get her down from the tree.

------------------------------------------------

Child of the 7th Age

Sassy and Bingo must be in different trees. Sassy ran far away from the action; it's quiet for the most part, around her tree.

-o- Primrose

Child of the 7th Age · 03-12-2005, 06:13 PM

Primrose,

Thanks for the tip. I'll "relocate".

Child

Boromir88 · 03-13-2005, 07:02 PM

I've been busy this week in hiring an HR intern, and some store managers, I shouldn't have much to do until late April, so I'll be able to get back to posting regularly. Sorry for any problems.

Crystal Heart · 03-15-2005, 08:09 AM

Primrose-

He's only going to try and find her. As soon as your post is filled I will fill my appropriately. Thank you for telling me otherwise Sam would wanted to have saved Sassy. :-) lol

Crystal Heart

Firefoot · 03-15-2005, 02:39 PM

Primrose, Crystal - I think that your posts may need to be switched, if what I understand is correct. It wouldn't make a lot of sense if Sam finds Sassy and she comes down, and then Crystal writes about Sam going off to find Sassy. Unless, of course, Sassy will be coming down before Sam finds her?

Primrose Bolger · 03-15-2005, 05:51 PM

My SAVE is filled in.

-o- Primrose

Crystal Heart · 03-16-2005, 09:28 AM

I figured that Sassy would come down before Sam found her. That is why I was going to wait upon the post.

Firefoot · 03-16-2005, 09:48 PM

What you have is fine, Crystal and Primrose. I wasn't sure how you were going to work it before.

Child and Enca, Crystal and Primrose - if you could finish up your characters' conversations here soon, that would be great. I want to be wrapping up this day pretty quick here. What will need to happen is they will all need to gather in together (and eat!), and then I think they're going to have to do something about the Big Folk, possibly burning the bodies, as Bingo suggested. Please feel free to include these events in your posts! Once this business is finished up, I will move it on to the next day and the Old Forest.

Child of the 7th Age · 03-16-2005, 10:45 PM

Firefoot - I think I've tied up our loose ends so Bingo can move forward.

Enca - I had Reggie select a dagger for his own. If you aren't comfortable with that, let me know and I'll edit.

Primrose Bolger · 03-17-2005, 01:13 AM

Sassy's ready to move on whenever the rest of the group is.

Child of the 7th Age · 03-17-2005, 08:02 AM

Please remember to fill in your game saves promptly. Ideally, that would be within twenty-four hours, or forty-eight hours at the latest. After the forty-eight hour window expires, Shire mods can and will erase the save. See the Red Book for more details.

If you still wish to insert a post earlier in the game, you may place it on the discussion thread with a request to the moderators to paste it on the game thread. However, that post must conform to everything that has gone on subsequently in the storyline.

Thanks for your help with this.

Cami, Shire Mod

Encaitare · 03-17-2005, 02:55 PM

It's fine by me that Reggie took the dagger.

Child of the 7th Age · 03-18-2005, 07:09 AM

Firefoot -

Should everyone just record their feelings about the woods, or would you like us to push the action in a particular direction?

My own save is filled so others can post.

Cami

Firefoot · 03-18-2005, 05:42 PM

I wasn't planning on there being a whole lot of action this night, other than "normal" Old Forest happenings. They will end up spending the night in the forest, though, meaning they won't be able to figure out how to get out, so that type of thing can be included in posts. Okay?

Firefoot · 03-19-2005, 07:52 AM

Crystal - I'm a little confused. I think (?) you switched the posts you wanted earlier in the game and the one you placed on the RPG, because this one on the DT talks about the forest while the other is about finding Sassy. (BTW, Primrose specified in an earlier post that Sassy found her way back to camp alone; perhaps you want Sam, not having found Sassy, wander back to their camp and find Sassy there instead?) Also, please specify where at on the game thread you want your post (for example, and the end of X's post, #546).

Thanks!

Crystal Heart · 03-21-2005, 01:19 PM

That post needs to go after post number 142.

Child of the 7th Age · 03-21-2005, 02:44 PM

Crystal Heart

In the interests of making sure we are all on the same track, I am posting a copy of the most recent instructions sent to Crystal:

Quote:

As a moderator, I am deleting your recent posts from the game and discussion thread and returning it to you. Both these posts state or infer that Sam meets up with Sassy. These do not fit into the story. As I previously explained, a save or a post that is to be pasted up on the game must agree with the action that has already taken place. Since Sassy has already come down from the tree and gone off on her own, and Primrose has already done an additional post for her in the Old Forest, it is clear that Sam did not meet up with Sassy.

At this point, do not try to fill in the back story. Since we have now turned to another chapter, it will only confuse things and get your character further behind. Your next post should center on the current action: what it is like to be in the Old Forest. If you'd like, you can handle the transition with a single sentence at the beginning of that post that you were unable to find Sassy on your own and went back to join the whole group.

Contact me by pm if you have additional questions. A copy of this is also being posted on the discussion thread so we are all on the same page.

Cami Goodchild, Shire Mod

Child of the 7th Age · 03-27-2005, 04:55 AM

Firefoot -

Could you clarify something for me? At the end of post #157 as well as at the end of Kitanna's post, it sounds as if we are divided: half in the ravine and half on top:

Quote:

Firefoot:

"Didn't we have a rope left over from the raft?" he asked. Everyone dug into the supplies, and one skinny rope, perhaps ten feet long, was turned up. An end was let down, and Sondo grabbed ahold. "I'm the lightest," he said, "and I'm not sure this will support me. Try to pull me up, and I'll brace against the sides." He felt the slack go tight, and he was slowly pulled upward. He was about to grasp the edge of the ravine and hoist himself up when someone shouted and the rope slackened again. Sondo fell back to the bottom, and Rory came right behind. "That tree root tripped me!" he complained.

"There goes that plan," sighed Sondo. "The rest of you, stay away from the edge so you don't fall in, too. It looks like we're going to have to follow this ravine after all; the southward way looks impassable." He hesitated, noting the growing shadows. "And everyone? It looks like we're going to be spending the night here. Be on your guard. This place... I'd bet anything that it's far more dangerous to us than those Big Folk ever were."

Quote:

Kitanna: The hobbits were divided now. Half in the ravine and half still above. What happened when they went farther and they discovered there was no way out. What would happen to their group then?

Is the group still divided in two (half in the ravine and half on top) in your very last post #160? I can't see anywhere that we have been reunited, but your latest post mentions only one group going onward. It's the middle of the night here, and I may have missed something when I read. Could you clarify who is on the bottom and who is on the top, or are we all in one place? Are we now "lost" from each other: one group continuing on in the ravine and one group continuing on top? I wanted to make sure before I put up a post.

Cami

Firefoot · 03-27-2005, 09:27 AM

Sorry, maybe that wasn't very clear. They are still divided, and both groups moved on - they are at least nearby each other. The only sentence I gave as a hint was this:

Quote:

Some wood was gathered by those not trapped in the ravine. Part was let down, and tinder was brought out. Soon there were two small fires going, one on top and one on bottom.

As for who is on top and bottom: I had deliberately left that vague before so that people could specify where they preferred their character to be. Based on recent posts however, I would say this is what it looks like:

Bottom
Sondo
Marroc
Bingo
Rory

Top
Sassy
Falco
(Neither Reggie nor Sam have been mentioned to be specifically in either location; however in order to even out the numbers I suppose they would be on top.)

Okay? Sorry if any of this was unclear in my post. I think I'll edit in a line or two of clarification into my post as well.

Child of the 7th Age · 03-27-2005, 11:02 AM

Sounds good! They haven't lost each other then....both groups can hear and see each other but they are physically separated. Thanks.

Cami

Child of the 7th Age · 03-28-2005, 12:27 AM

Poor Bingo! He's definitely looking for some help.

Cami

Crystal Heart · 03-28-2005, 11:22 AM

I'll be with the bottom group. I just got so confused on what was going on that I decided it would be best to wait until I posted.

Child of the 7th Age · 03-30-2005, 08:30 PM

Firefoot

I pushed it forward to morning. Hope this is ok. If not, I will edit as you request.

Bingo must be a bit out of his head as he thought he saw a horrible ghostie floating through the woods.

Cami

Primrose Bolger · 03-31-2005, 10:48 PM

The delirium must be contagious . . . Sassy is seeing something out of the ordinary, too

- o - Prim

Firefoot · 04-03-2005, 04:33 PM

Well, if anyone (like Sondo

) hasn't figured out the identity of the mysterious ghost from my post yet... it's Gandalf the Grey himself. Sondo's pretty suspicious (I'm sure he'll regret it later...), and if any of the other hobbits are quicker on the uptake than he is, or perhaps thinks the man really does mean them good, well, feel free to defend Gandalf.

Encaitare · 04-04-2005, 01:52 PM

Meep! Plot twist much?!

I love it; great idea, Firefoot.

Primrose Bolger · 04-04-2005, 11:40 PM

Sassy's all for letting the old fellow help them out . . .

- o - Primrose

Primrose Bolger · 04-05-2005, 01:22 PM

A quick question - who is above the ravine with Sassy. Is it only Reggie, and everyone else is down below?

Encaitare · 04-06-2005, 01:51 PM

Falco is on the top too, I believe, if Firefoot's post above is correct.

Nurumaiel · 04-06-2005, 04:56 PM

Oops, forgot about that! Thanks, Enca, for reminding me. I'll be editing my post to have Falco climb down before he speaks with Gandalf.

Boromir88 · 04-06-2005, 05:06 PM

Rory is definately suspicious of this so-called Gandalf.

Firefoot · 04-06-2005, 05:53 PM

Boromir - one thing: the RPG takes place in spring 3018, the spring before Frodo first leaves for Rivendell. Sharkey has not yet come into the picture...

Boromir88 · 04-06-2005, 06:02 PM

Oh, I'm sorry Firefoot, I thought the timing was after the Scouring. Do you mind if I just leave that post there now, I got to get going, and don't have time to fix it now, but I will get things straightened out, just ignore it for now. Thanks.

Edit: I've altered my post, instead of Sharkey, fireworks seemed to be the new topic. Despite the other Hobbits' fond approval, Rory for some reason still isn't so sure....

Firefoot · 04-11-2005, 07:42 PM

Thanks, Boromir.

Also, the hobbits have (more than) started on their trek out of the forest. Someone may feel free to have them stop for a lunch break (if they want to spend another meal under the trees... Who knows? They are hobbits, after all...), or even come to the end of the day and the forest completely.

Firefoot · 04-18-2005, 03:56 PM

Hey, all -

We're coming into the homestretch of the game, now; less than a day (gametime) before the hobbits are home.

Unfortunately, I will not have computer access for the rest of the week. For now, the hobbits are trekking across marshy land. I will be leaving a post with piosenniel to be posted while I'm away - it will bring the hobbits to the bank of the Withywindle River. It'll be up to you all to get them across...

Once I get back, the game will finish up with the hobbits getting home to Buckland.

piosenniel · 04-22-2005, 12:12 PM

I've put the post Firefoot sent me to the game thread.

The Hobbits are now on the banks of the Withywindle. They have only to cross it and they can head home.

~*~ Pio

Firefoot · 04-24-2005, 08:26 AM

Just to let everyone know I'm back. Many thanks to Pio.

Now, surely someone('s character) has an opinion on whether the hobbits should be crossing the Withywindle in the dark! (Yes, Sondo is asking for opinions...

)

Firefoot · 04-25-2005, 02:48 PM

Okay, Nuru and I just cross-posted, and I think my post would probably fit better before Nuru's. Could my post be moved to the end of Crystal's or the start of Nuru's? Thanks.

And it sounds like they're going to be staying the night between the Withywindle and the swamp... poor Sondo. All that opposition.

Do you mind if I just leave that post there now, I got to get going, and don't have time to fix it now, but I will get things straightened out, just ignore it for now. Thanks. Edit: I've altered my post, instead of Sharkey, fireworks seemed to be the new topic. Despite the other Hobbits' fond approval, Rory for some reason still isn't so sure.... __________________ Fenris Penguin Last edited by Boromir88; 04-09-2005 at 06:55 PM.

Someone may feel free to have them stop for a lunch break (if they want to spend another meal under the trees... Who knows? They are hobbits, after all...), or even come to the end of the day and the forest completely.

Unfortunately, I will not have computer access for the rest of the week. For now, the hobbits are trekking across marshy land. I will be leaving a post with piosenniel to be posted while I'm away - it will bring the hobbits to the bank of the Withywindle River. It'll be up to you all to get them across... Once I get back, the game will finish up with the hobbits getting home to Buckland.

The Hobbits are now on the banks of the Withywindle. They have only to cross it and they can head home. ~*~ Pio __________________ Eldest, that’s what I am . . .
