Treachery of Men Discussion/Planning Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I do apologise for a bit too much werewolfing that I have been doing lately. Somehow it takes one's time quite comprehensively if one is to perform his RL duties at the same time. But it will be easier on both fronts from now on and I can come back to this.

Just a few questions after skimming through the threads.

As my initial post was describing a late evening it should be what, last evening (the evening before the emissaries arrived and I would go on posting from the current day onwards now) or this evening (so my next post should be looking back to the day that is current in the game)?

Child/Khandr called us three to his table "tomorrow". Could it be "today"? Otherwise we must just try to fix something for our characters for a pretty long time (RL) as the negotiations between the Ulfing leaders and the elven emissaries will surely take some space and time?

And if I need to come up with something for Fastarr to do for a whole day, would Kath or Fordim be interested to share this day with me? So maybe Fastarr, Huntha and Bergr would do something together (or some of them could)? Or would master Khandr or Briga have something for the good retainer to perform?

Nogrod,

I'll be glad to make the invitation to dinner tonight. I just wanted to make sure that everyone had time to play out any opening scenes for their character they already had in their head.

I know Lailath and I are doing some posts relating to the delivery of the goat meat but other than that and delivering the invitations, I had nothing specific planned.

Do the other Borrim want their invitations to be for dinner tonight (game time)? Please give me some feedback and I'll gladly edit.

Child and Lalaith,

I received your PMs so I went ahead and posted. So you two can duke it out a little

and then send Gunna off with whatever you decide. BTW, it's goat cheese not meat (I musta had feta on the brain

) not that it really matters.
BS

Thanks, bill_n_sam. My mistake above. The doctor has temporarily put my husband on a vegetarian diet, and it seems all we can think about are slabs of meat.

Anguirel · 11-20-2006, 03:58 PM

Folwren and CoD,

Can I get permission to manipulate your characters a wee bit in my next post?

Lachrandir will state the basic terms of his mission, but not yet hand over the letter.

I'd like to make Ulfang hedge around for a while and then finally admit he's unwilling to proceed further without Uldor present. Ulwarth will then be sent out to get him.

I don't want to bring out the letter itself yet because it's quite major, and I'd like Uldor to be present when it's at last read by Ulfang.

I'll put up a save to this effect.

Anguirel · 11-20-2006, 04:09 PM

Fordim, you described Gausen as an "old woman". This is not quite accurate...she is a haggardish widow, but only in her late thirties. But I suppose it could reflect Hunta's attitude.

Mith and Celuien, your characters are also involved in the negotiations in the Hall...feel free to post from their points of view.

That's funny! I know what you mean though. In my family there has been a vegetarian for the past three years and twice I've tried to be one too (and both times fallen off the wagon with a resounding thud!

) So I understand how meat, especially the smell of barbeque or roast, can become quite distracting

I will probably not be around again until the weekend. I hope everyone who celebrates it has a good Thanksgiving!

Celuien · 11-20-2006, 07:28 PM

Will do, Anguirel, once I catch up with everything. *mutters about the impossibility of my current studying and interview schedule*

Folwren · 11-20-2006, 08:37 PM

By all means, sir! Use Ulwarth as necessary. I expected what you said above to take place before I posted again, so go right ahead.
