The Fall of the North Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Saurreg · 07-19-2005, 04:44 AM

Osse - I have included a reference to Carthor in my post. But I think you would have to edit your post because Belegorn does not meet with carthor.

Arry - I should think you can kill off Alak's, Lal's and Nurunar's characters.

Sorry life's been a bit hectic, i'll try to post ASAP. Could someone move us on?

Yikes....

I am indeed here. Aman very kindly PM'd me last week, and RL has been out of control since then. I've just now finished catching up on both game and discussion.

I sha'n't insult the collective intelligence with excuses. Suffice it to say that it seems my subscribed thread notifications disappeared en route. I still don't know what happened...

Just a quick note right now, since I'm still processing what has happened and is being planned, besides sorting out all the emotions of the characters still on board. Osse, would you explain why you had Lissi pull away from Carthor when he wanted to comfort her? I can come up with something, but I'd like to know what you were thinking before I try.

And, uh, I'd really, on the whole, rather not be wolf-bait. I'm dedicated to finishing the game, whether my character dies or not... but since I just finished all the effort of catching up, I'd like to make a little more of a contribution, dontcha know. I take it there will be some survivors who make it to Mithlond? Although Lissi, as the mother of a hero, is in an archetypically dangerous position.

Many thanks,
Nuranar

My save has been filled. I've left it up to the survivors to find poor Mitharan, resting in the snow.

If anything needs to be fixed, do tell.

The wolves are on their way to spying out their next meal.

On their way, they've decided to pass on the bedraggled figure of Mitharan lying in the snow.

Nuranar: Check your PM's

Saurreg: I figured, with Belegorn looking for Carthor anyways and only being interrupted by his summons to the King's tent, upon hearing of Carthor's appointment as the new leader of the King's Guard, he'd rush off and try to disuade him from leaving... sorry but I sort of used Belegorn a lot in my post, I could change it to another non PC soldier or someone, but I don't think it would have the effect...

What would you like me to do, if you want i can just change the whole thing.

Amanaduial the archer · 07-20-2005, 05:19 AM

No-no-no-no...by all means take Alak's character, she isn't coming back for RL reasons, but just hold back on devouring Lal's character yet - she was one of the three who I PM'd, and said she would consider coming back. Admittedly, that was about ten days ago, but there is hope from that front. So just...hang on!

I shall send a quick prompt...

Nuranar! Glad to see you back - thank you

Thanks, Osse - I'll reply shortly.

I thought that would get a rise from you.

I'm refering to the (often untimely) death of the protagonist's mother prior to many stories. For example, Frodo and Harry Potter. There was a very interesting discussion about it a couple years ago.

At this point I have only vague ideas about a post. Should I try to provide a hook-up for Lal? Please let me know if you get a response from her, Aman. Thank you!
