I am so sorry I haven't posted.

Undómë, it's completely alright with me if you move us on to evening. I could think of nothing useful for Athwen to do all day, save haul water, and I didn't have time or interest to write a post like that. I think, come night again, I may be able to write something again. I'll go see what's been added to the game since I last checked. . .

Save's up.... the other post will have to wait, I'm not really inspired at the moment... hoping for a sudden bout of inspiration before I go to bed tonight but if not I'll try to write somethng soon... or I'll just won't do that post

Nogrod · 05-31-2006, 03:02 AM

Farael!

There seems to be something like a contradiction to earlier post in your filled save.

In my post (the one before yours) Sythric calls everyone to run away, shouts to be given a bow and tries to get up to fight. I don't know of course how you others reacted to his bellowing, but the situation wasn't quite like you describe it, as you write:

Quote:

The sound of horses, riding towards the camp. There weren’t enough men to resist; the wounded would be easy pray for the easterlings. They could only sit back and wait, and hope that the riders moved along worried about their own business.

PS. I'm having quite full days RL-wise, so I probably won't be writing very actively in couple of days...

SAVE filled

Arry · 05-31-2006, 08:56 AM

Let's bring this section of the RPG to a resolve by day after tomorrow.

At that time, I will leap us forward to Edoras and then each of you may write a final post/epilog as you wish.

Child of the 7th Age · 05-31-2006, 09:38 AM

Nogrod,

Could you let me know on this thread or by pm if Sythric is going to recover? I'd like to write my farewell post for the Elves, but can't do that until I know the status of the patients.

Child!

I guess he should survive - as people have been recurrently mentioning that it will depend on his strength to fight the poison. I guess that is the one thing he would have: a man gone through a life of hardship and injuries, his body knows the trade, and he has kept his condition after the rider-years by teaching the youngsters, riding and sporting continually.

Without the elves I probably would have wanted to write him dead. But now I guess it would not be a miracle if he lives after all.

Well, Sythric can do what ever he wants to, that doesn't mean Osmod will even pay attention to the ramblings of a fevered old man!

No, I don't think there's a contradiction, just different spins on the story.

Well, it's not a big deal anyway. And I totally agree with the "different spins"-stuff. That's just right. I just thought it a bit weird that you gave an impression of everyone just sitting back and waiting when someone is kind of shouting and bellowing and calling for action - and making almost lethal effort to get up... (but maybe no one noticed?

)

Tevildo · 06-02-2006, 09:57 AM

Child,

I've left a lead-in for the Elves (or should I say a chance to say goodbye?)

Child of the 7th Age · 06-03-2006, 08:14 PM

I've responded to Leod, and the Elves have left camp.

I've enjoyed writing with you all, and I look forward to seeing your epilogues.

Folwren · 06-04-2006, 01:00 PM

Save Filled.

Undómë, I kind of hope you write a post in response to this last one, but if you don't want to, that's fine. Whatever you wish.

-- Folwren

Farael · 06-04-2006, 03:08 PM

I think I'll save my "strenght" and creativity for the epilogue... whoever writes us leaving camp (Arry, most likely) could you say that Osmod organized the riders and took the lead?

piosenniel · 06-05-2006, 01:52 AM

Undómë

I placed your post in Arry's 'SAVE'.

Thanks!!

Folwren · 06-07-2006, 06:18 PM

Great Arry!! Excellent post, and if I hadn't repped you so recently, I'd do it for that one.

Grima is sick! But I guess he was in the book, too.

Anyway, I've not say in the matter about your guys' villages. I hope they make it safely. I will be writing an epilogue sometime, however. Hopefully everyone else will, too.

Time for dinner!

Nogrod · 06-08-2006, 01:16 AM

So fellow Bregowarians, what do you think has happened to our people? Did they get over the Great River?

Farael, Undömé, what say you?

And surely we need to write the story of our characters riding to search for them?

Undómë · 06-08-2006, 01:59 AM

To be quite honest, I don't want to write about how the Bregos went searching for their village.

We have only 1 post apiece now left to go before the game is done. I intend my epilog to be about 2 years in the future from Arry's last post.

I would prefer that the Bregowarians arrive safely for the most part at Hengistham. I can, though, write it either way.

I'm not insisting on anyone writing anything they don't want to, but I thought we should have similar ideas about what has happened so that we don't contradict each others last posts.

Surely I have nothing against the village being somewhat safe.
