Abduction in Edoras Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Firefoot · 10-12-2006, 02:50 PM

Any time now, I suppose. I mostly wanted to get Scyld and Linduial away first.

a) Are we ready for Haleth to arrive?
b) Given the timeframes of the story, could he be realistically arriving already?

Jen, do you have any idea what I still need to do to finish up for Degas and Lin's family?

I've totally lost track of my plot lines at the moment.

JennyHallu · 10-18-2006, 10:18 AM

Hmm...questions to answer...

Fea, I've lost sight of the plot lines too, it's been so long.

Where were we? Degas had arrived at Farlen's hold, had blurted out what happened, and messengers had been sent for the boys. We need a discussion between all those boys and men (ah the testosterone...

) that touches on Lin's relationship with Degas, and ends with the decision for Adragil to go to Edoras with Degas. And get going. Fast. Over the mountain route, so we can minimize the time necessary for them to arrive.

Firefoot, I think Haleth could arrive at any time.

I am so glad BD's back...

Okay. I might end up needing to have a post placed in the right spot. Thank everything divine for the fact I'm writing stuff that pertains to pretty much nothing else!

Soon (maybe tonight at work?) I'll reread what I've got for Degas already. Shouldn't take long; the posts are lengthy, but sparse. I'll outline what still needs doing and I'll see what I can do about some more doing it.

Hey folks:

Things have slowed up again, but we're getting near to the end of the story! Let's not lose hope within sight of the goal!

I'd like us to get a good idea of what's going on, and where we're headed, as well as see who is still checking the thread. I think we've lost Alcarillo altogether, unless anyone knows a way to reach him other than PM.

Can everyone post here something quick in answer to these questions? (Thanks, Fea, for the idea!)

What goals do you have for your characters by the end of the story?

What needs to be done in order to fulfil those goals?

What events do you expect to occupy your next post?

Let's get things organized so we can wrap this up.

What goals do you have for your characters by the end of the story? Degas needs to accept responsibility fully and display a bit of adulthood. Feo needs to find a place to stay before Degas gets back to Edoras. Farahil must have reason to go to Edoras with Degas. Adragil should display Adragil-ness to the utmost degree.

What needs to be done in order to fulfil those goals? Two posts. One that I outlined in my save, one that leaves off with Farahil and Degas riding north and Feo with Adragil. Jenny, if you want Farlen to leave off with anything specific, could you provide me with details?

What events do you expect to occupy your next post? I feel so on top of things. Already outlined it. Degas will meet the brothers, explain what's up, they'll both discover/be informed of Degas's intentions with Lin. Adragil will take a liking to Feo that will lead to Feo staying with him when Degas rides north.

I don't have any particular goals for either of my characters. Guess I did this more for my sake then theirs.

Anyhow, my next post will be for Thornden, in which he and his three men are going to go searching for Sorn and stumble upon Eodwine and Garstan instead. And that's been due for sometime, I merely forgot about it. I will attemp to write that now and have it up some time this afternoon. I'm afraid that's at least what Elempi and Celuien are waiting for.

To help rescue Linduial.

What needs to be done in order to fulfil those goals?

Capture the baddies and keep as many allies as possible alive.

What events do you expect to occupy your next post?

Trying to keep Eodwine and Garstan from being mistakenly killed by Thornden and his three lackies. Getting back into the thick of things despite Garstan's protests that he can't protect him anymore. Informing Deren that he has not in fact rescued Linduial.

Tracking down Sorn and finding out what happened to Linduial.
