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

Help rescue Linduial and keep Eodwine out of trouble.

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

Capture the baddies and keep as many allies as possible alive. (I just kept lmp's answer).

What events do you expect to occupy your next post?

Garstan trying to keep going with Eodwine and the rest of the party. Garstan and Eodwine narrowly missing being attacked by Thornden. Musing about how best to continue to be in the rescue party and keep Eodwine out of danger despite having a pretty badly injured arm.

Oooohhh...that kind of goal. I was thinking character developement goal.

Hm. It seems I need to do a little bit of writing so that you and Elempi can get writing, too.

I'll try very, very hard to write something tonight, and I apologize very much indeed that I didn't fulfill my promise yesterday.

Has anyone heard from Aguirel? I don't want to seem pushy...

- Tara

EDIT:

It's a teensy bit silly to fill this out for Sorn, but here it is anyway...

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

Death, very simply. I'm not certain Sorn will have any sort of miraculous attack of clarity on his warped sight of the world. Perhaps that would be a little (thinks of a better word) silly.

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

A tangle with Gurth.

What events do you expect to occupy your next post?

As it stands, I'm not sure if Sorn should bump into Gurth straight away. Does Haleth really wish to confront him? I'm open for this, Fire , but it may be a bit cramped.

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

Scyld: some kind of trust of Linduial/possibly swears fealty to her. I'm still seeing where this is going.

Haleth: Death. I don't know if that means he gets tangled up with Sorn somehow or what, though.

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

Um... I guess getting off my butt and posting would help. Yeah, Haleth's arrival would be useful. Will happen by the end of the weekend

What events do you expect to occupy your next post?

Haleth arrives. Scyld taking Linduial off into the wilderness.

Anguirel's gone until something like Oct. 28. He'll be back then, though. I'd PM him if I were you and remind him he has a save. He may be distracted with his new RPG in The Shire.

Post is almost up.

Character development goals are just as legitimate as plot development goals. .... at least in general. Of course, in the case of the rescuers this rpg is rather heavily slanted toward plot, whereas Linduial, Sorn, Scyld, and others, have more character development possibilities. So if you want to do character development goals, I don't think anybody's going to tell you that you may not.

Well, of coures they're not going to tell me. *chuckle* It's just I don't have any particular character developement or character changing I want done.

My post is finally up. I really am sorry about the delay. Elempi and Celuien, I pretty much left it entirely open for you two to do whatever you wanted with it. It's a terribly embarrassing situation for Thornden. Poor fellow! First Eodwine tells him to quit being a coward (or close) and then he goes off and ambushes his own lord! I really don't think I'd like to be in his place right now.

Anyhow, have fun with it. We are going to Grandma's house tomorrow to watch one of the world series games. Therefore, unless I can somehow get access to Grandma' computer and internet, I am not going to be around at all tomorrow. Monday, I will be busy until nearly noon, so don't expect anything from me until then, at the earliest.

If my post is in any way unsatisfactory (including grammatical or spelling errors) don't hesitate to let me know. I was distracted as I wrote it and am too exhausted to re-read it now. Later, when I've time and energy, I will go over it and fix obvious problems if I find any.

Goodnight!

Blame whoever decided I had to have 24 hours in a day instead of 26...

Deleting my save. I'll 'fill' it when I can.
