My post for Gausen and Drenda is simply teeming with plot hooks, many romantic.

Folwren, I know Uldor is busy with Jord's attentions, but according to Gausen's profile he's also led Gausen on...we might want to play out a meeting between them.

Dimturiel, your profile states that Tora's father wants to marry off his daughter. Looks like Drenda's going to be a suitor!

CoD, Brodda and Drenda will meet again as hinted in the post.

Celuien, you, Ulfast, killed Drenda's father. This is eventually going to become an issue.

How do people like these complications? PM me if you want me to clarify or cut a strand involving you...

Oh, and my post also suggested that there are about 60,000 Ulfings - if seven thousand is "a quarter of the males in these lands".

Economics is not my strongpoint and I know the status of the settlement is still vague, but perhaps that gives you a rough idea. I should think that the settlement is populated by only a few thousand, most farming arable land outside it.

My darn character seems to have a history I don't know about.

He keeps getting himself into trouble.

That's fine, Anguirel. I rather think it's like him, the monstrous brute. We can play out a meeting, if you like.

I haven't read your post yet, though, and I don't have time just now. I'm about ot walk out the door.

Well, I arranged that particular tryst with Feanor, and you inherited it, I'm afraid! Should be fun though...

Conflict. Major grudges. Excellent.

I hope the use of the term "my lord" was appropriate for Dag addressing Ulfast. I couldn't remember if that issue had come up yet in other posts. But I thought a smith would need to be very respectful of such a person of importance. Please let me know if there is some other term that seems to work better and I'll edit.

Anguirel,

I think the Borrim crew needs some guidance. We've all arrived at the party. However, I wasn't sure whether to go on and get the serious talk of spying under way or wait for the Elves to make their appearance.

Will the elves be crashing our party soon, or should we go ahead and do the conspiracy part first?

Anguirel · 02-01-2007, 12:02 PM

Conspire away. Maybe Lachy and Tathy can come in at an awkward moment...

bill_n_sam · 02-01-2007, 03:32 PM

Ooops! I didn't realize I had double posted in the IC. Sorry. I had written up my next post, which I wasn't going to put up, as I didn't want to seem like a post-hog. But I thought it would be better to go ahead and take out the double post and put that one in its place. So I hope no-one minds too much.

*feeling rather stupid*

Sorry!

Anguirel · 02-01-2007, 04:06 PM

It's fine, bill_n_sam. I was going to bring it up, but was sure you'd put it to rights...

What a Jane Austen-like web we are weaving...
