I am so sorry to have disappeared all of a sudden. I got very sick over a couple of days and ended up in the emergency room and admitted to the ICU. I had several absesses in my abdomen and they had to operate to get them all removed. In the process, I lost another part. Not fun. I got out of the hospital on Friday and have been too sore to get online since it hurts to sit up straight to type. I still have staples and retention sutures that come out Thursday. After I was hospitalized, I was so drugged with pain stuff and antibiotics that I couldn't think clear enough to have anyone come here for me and post. Please don't disallow me from future games. I am so sorry that this happened!

Ara -

I am very sorry to hear what's happened. We have missed you and carried along Willow as best we could. I did remember that you'd said once about having to visit an emergency room.

No -- a medical situation preventing you from playing in a single game certainly does not disallow you from future participation. Just get well now. I've also written you a separate pm.

I'll be fine as soon as these darned retention sutures come out on Thursday. They hurt!!

Is there anything I can do to help? I'm so sorry I created a difficulty in the game!

ArwenBaggins · 08-13-2004, 09:00 AM

Ara:
Glad to see you well! You may have to take that question up with Child.

Everyone:
I've filled in my SAVE. Eric has been found at last. Either later today or tomorrow I will put up the finally two points in the plot, and we'll move on. We're a bit behind schedule, but we can all work together to fix that!

Ara, Arwen,

Please check your pms. Sounds good!

~Child

Regin Hardhammer · 08-13-2004, 05:27 PM

I will fill in my save Saturday night. If anyone needs to go ahead, please feel free as I am only going to talk about how I feel.

~Regin

ArwenBaggins · 08-14-2004, 08:24 PM

Everyone-

As promised, here are the next too points in the storyline--

3. Dragon attacks Dale. The family flees, maybe gets stuck somewhere with debris falling on their heads. Dragon attacks and Girion defends them. He falls to his death and they make it out.

4. Dragon flies off and sits on his horde in Erebor. Family treks down with others to the Lake. Girion's family has survived so the royal line is intact. Families decide to remain and build a new community, hoping for the day they can return home. (In the distance, Dwarves march off....)

Thanks,
Fëa

Kransha · 08-19-2004, 08:13 PM

I must apologize, but the SAVE I put up must remain up for 24 hours more. I was called away on some urgent business today. I also apologize for my lack of posts in the thread of late. I've been busy, much busier than I expected I'd be at this time. I will *definately* have a Smaug post up tomorrow, which will contain Smaug's re-attack (or is that counter-attack?) on Dale. There will be much, much havoc wrought on the hapless town and townspeople, so look out! The assault is unrestricted, so Smaug's ready to go all-out.

Child of the 7th Age · 08-19-2004, 10:32 PM

Master Kransha,

We await your return with anticipation.

~Child

Regin Hardhammer · 08-23-2004, 11:55 PM

Nurumaiel - Please check your pms and let me know if there's any problem and let me know if you could have your character run back to get help.

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

I filled in my save. Things look pretty bad. The fire is spreading and Princess Layla (no relation to Star Wars!) just got trapped under a small beam. The kids can't pull it off on their own. Even if we pull the Princess out, that fire looks pretty bad.

Kransha · 08-30-2004, 04:40 PM

Ah, the post is up. Girion is fallen.

It's a rollicking bit of postage, hopefully not to rip-roaring and overly fabtastical. Girion's out of the way, but he left a present for Smaug. Thus ends my catacysm (quoting Henry IV, Part I works suerprisingly well in this situation). Check out the RPG thread to see Girion's noble, if not farfetched end.

Best wishes to all...

Child of the 7th Age · 08-30-2004, 11:17 PM

Kransha -

A thousand thanks. That is a great exit! I shall not forget the beast....

Arwen -

Do you want to do the last post, or shall I?

Child

ArwenBaggins · 08-31-2004, 02:07 PM

Child--

If you don't mind, It'd be good if you could do the last post. I've got homework out the ears, and you're an awesome writer.

Kransha--

Awesome exit for Smaug. Heh... invisiblity. I love that last line. You were a very nice co-owner; keep it up!

Everyone--

It's been tons of fun playing with all of you. We've had delays and hardships, but also good sports and GREAT posts. I hope to write with all of you in the (near) future.

Best Wishes, Blessed Be, and may the Road rise to meet you,
Fëa
