Soph: As much as it would no doubt skeeve Kathaani out to pretend she's Marsillion's lady (much as it did me to have a friend ask if my elder brother is my boyfriend... eeeew), it would account for her presence in the group, and if the guards accept the story that's floating around right now, than her "identity" would also presumably be accepted. Does that help?

And Menel, I didn't get a chance to read your post. Do you still have it? If so, I'd love to read it even if it doesn't work in the game.

Let's carry Tiru. He's a good character, and I can see uses for a loyal servant even if the original writer isn't with us ... for now.

Sophia, my first suggestion, when in doubt, is to reread your character description; sometimes you forget some of the great things you thought up weeks ago. If that fails you, close your eyes and ask her in your mind, giving specifics, what she wants to do. You'd be surprised what can result.

Sorry, I don't still have the post. It mostly involved Thoronmir claiming to be a simple traveler until the soldiers started to recognize him. At that point he slashed one of them with his sword. This would probably have been one of the dumbest things for him to do, though.

Anyway, I'll be out of town this weekend and hopefully post once I'm back. Oh, just so I can have a more "correct" close-range weapon, do you think I should give myself a hunting knife or something?

A hunting knife or dagger would be quite in character.

Please accept my apologies, everyone, for not posting a reaction for the King's Men before now. It actually just occurred to me that that might be what everyone's politely waiting for. I'll get busy.

It's quite alright, LMP. I've been terribly slow as well, which is due to the fact that I'm graduating college next Sunday (god willing), and am in the last minute haste of turning in final projects. Which is why my posting has been so sporadic. I anticipate things cooling off considerably around Wednesday, although I will try to post Kathaani's reaction to this whole soldier bit Monday afternoon. I've got it half written now, but I should really turn my attention to the 10 page paper I'm writing for my church history class. At least for a little while.

Our arrival in Armenelos should be imminent upon escaping the little patrol. I'll set that up by Wednesday as well, hopefully, give us a good descriptive scene of approaching the city. LMP, Alak, I'll probably run that by you before I post it, so watch your pms.

So get in any more travelling scenes you had in mind... Azarmano, Abarzadan, any acid comments for Marsillion?

And of course, Armenelos is where we'll meet Monoizindu. I'm quite looking forward to that. And it appears Abar's plot is thickening. We could probably hear from Inzillomi as well.

This is really the good part coming up.

Sophia

[Edit] I lied. I had to post now, I got too caught up in writing it. *laughs at self*

littlemanpoet · 04-23-2005, 06:51 PM

Tell you what. Seeing as I'm in such a writing frenzy and you all actually have real lives, how about posting up any intermediate stuff here to the discussion thread with a request for me to insert it where you want it inside my posts? Sound good? Easy enough to edit.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-23-2005, 07:51 PM

Wait... I'm confused (which would be easily remedied if I wasn't so tired)... how many days have you guys been on the road already?

Soph, you said arrival should be imminent, but I've been laboring under the [possible] delusion that it's still day one, although getting reeeeeally late.

Which is why I have my King's Men Showing Up To Take The Faithful post chilling out in my imagination right now. I'd planned the post for "the next morning", but have we passed it while I wasn't paying attention?

And LMP... so the plot thickens...
