Mormegil,

I'll hold off on posting till you decide what to do. Also, if you need me to edit anything or mention something in particular, just let me know.

You don't need to hold off. I think what I'll do is in the first post go back and write something to the effect that both were stolen but he didn't care about the necklace. In the most recent on I can edit it to say something like he remembered taking both off and both are missing.

Tevildo · 06-07-2007, 01:09 AM

Post up. Folwren, Child, Mormegil.....In the interests of pushing this forward, I've managed to use everyone's characters.

I even shifted time forward just a tiny bit. If any of that is a problem, please let me know. I will edit as needed.

Otherwise, Morm.... You're welcome to get us down in the cellar and face-to-face with the kids.

Folwren · 06-08-2007, 03:57 PM

Sweetness. I have been gone since last Thursday night and I am so glad to see that things have moved forward. I haven't yet read the game thread itself, but I have read it here. By the looks of it, all is well. If I am wrong, though, and something needs changing, I'll say so. But it should be fine tha time has been moved forward.

Yeah, I noticed the Torque issue a while ago, too, but didn't figure I'd say anything. Don't know why I decided upon that, but oh well.

So, I'm off to catch up on all my other threads and games...

Dunwen · 06-09-2007, 01:50 AM

Yay, it's late enough that my character can arrive. She's been riding from Tuckborugh for quite awhile now

Folwren · 06-10-2007, 01:55 PM

*sigh* Yes, Dunwen, time moves extraudinarily slowly at an inn. I'm glad you moved it forward, Tevildo, to evening.

I'm leaving very soon (within a few minutes) for another week of working at camp. I'm sorry I didn't post while home. Carry on, though. You have all been doing a very good job of carrying everything and keeping it moving...at least some. Continue on without me. Carry Lil and Dick as you need. I'll be looking forward to more posts to read next Friday.

Have fun! And don't burn down the inn.

Finduilas · 06-10-2007, 02:07 PM

I'm leaving with Foley. Sorry MaskedNicci for never posting. You can make Elorn answer if you want to

Folwren · 08-23-2007, 10:32 AM

Dunwen, Dick has addressed Peri.

TheGreatElvenWarrior, in my post I made up the conversation between Dick, Lilly, and Ruby that you described in passing in one of your older posts. I hope it is appropriate. If you want anything changed, just let me know.

Forest Elf and Sallkid, I have not gotten around to dealing with the dwarves. I don't know quite what to do. Give me time and either I'll figure something out with one of my characters, or someone else will step in. Sorry.

Am I completely caught up? No...not quite...Morm and Tevildo, I'll try to post with the kiddeos sometime. If I'm not mistaken, though, Morm could post before me.

-- Folwren

mormegil · 08-23-2007, 05:40 PM

Folwren, This was my last posthttp://www.forum.barrowdowns.com/sho...&postcount=527 and I was thinking that the kids should come next. Please update me if you feel different and I would be happy to do so.

It's just fine...
If you feel the need to talk to my characters if my characters talk to yours then it's perfectly fine, actually I was worried that I could do what I did. But I thought it was fine.

Thanks

Folwren · 09-27-2007, 05:57 PM

Dear Gwathgor,

Thanks for writing and posting your questions. A lot of your questions can be answered by reading the thread SHIRE RULES: The Red Book of Westmarch. Your other questions will be answered by reading the first few posts of this thread. I would advise reading both things, but for now, I'll answer your questions as best I can.

For now, you can only post in the Golden Perch Inn thread and this Discussion thread. After you post here a couple times, I believe you may join an RPG, as soon as a new one starts.

You may introduce an elf.

Each player in the Golden Perch needs to submit a brief Character Description form. It can be submitted at the same time as you make your first post to the Inn Thread.

Posts for characters who do not have a Character Description put on the Golden Perch Discussion Thread will be sent back to their writers. You may of course repost once your character’s description is on board.

Please use the following form.

~*~

NAME:

AGE:

RACE: (Only those character types listed by the Innkeeper will be acceptable: Hobbits, Men, Elves, or Dwarves. NO Orcs; Easterlings, Southrons, and any other men of an evil race; NO Animals - as main characters; or Any other creature or persons not mentioned in 'Types of characters allowed' No half-Elven characters. No mixed-type characters. No super-heroes. No assassins. No one all powerful, martial arts proficient, or having any magical traits. Just regular characters with normal abilities for their races only)

GENDER:

WEAPONS: (No magical, super-hero, mithril weapons. Just good solid Middle-earth weapons and armor only that is appropriate to the race of the character and the time period. Hobbits, for example, do not have swords or armor)

APPEARANCE:

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: (No half-Elven characters. No mixed-type characters. No super-heroes. No assassins. No one all powerful, martial arts proficient, or having any magical traits. Just regular characters with normal abilities for their races only)

HISTORY: (Can be as brief as you wish)

Hope that helps! If you have any further questions, you can ask them here or PM me or piosenniel.

-- Folwren

Gwathagor · 09-27-2007, 10:21 PM

NAME: Gwathagor (this is what he is called, but it is not his given name)

AGE: Born in Doriath in 502, near the end of First Age. This makes him 6485 years old.

RACE: Sindarin elf

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: Elven longsword, great bow (which he keeps unstrung), has been known to wield an ax.

APPEARANCE: Tall, large frame, grim, very dark brown hair, blue eyes

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Stoic, with bitter tendencies. Very high ideals. Does not befriend others often or easily, but is exceptionally loyal to those he has. Wanderer. Fights ferociously, and kills swiftly and without remorse. His sadness and sobriety has over many years produced some wisdom. Well-developed and intelligent sense of humor. Refined and intellectual tastes, despite his worn and sometimes tattered appearance. Often possessed by a great fury while in battle, before which nothing can stand. Otherwise generally remains calm and in possession of his common sense and prudence. Slow to act and very deliberate until he makes a decision, at which point he pursues his chosen direction doggedly and ruthlessly. Solitary. Intuitive. Strong us-them ethics, but broad-minded and thorough appreciation for both sides of any matter. Straightforward and firm belief in right and wrong, but deep understanding of how difficult it can be to determine what is right in any given situation. Is at heart a swashbuckling, dramatic, and gallant knight errant, but intentionally hides it beneath a grim exterior. Taciturn. Low self-confidence. Walking bundle of contradictions.

HISTORY: Has wandered for many years. Native of Menegroth. Rumored to once have had the love of a very fair elf maiden. It is unknown what became of her, whether she died, or sailed west, or for what reason they became estranged. He lived briefly at the Mouths of the Sirion after the Sack of Menegroth, and resisted the Sons of Feanor when they attacked the settlement there. Otherwise, he participated very little in the events of the First Age, apart from the War of the Wrath of the Valar. In the ensuing years, he wandered much, often traveling very far into the North, becoming hardened to the cold. As a rule, he avoided (and still does, in fact) journeying South, as he dislikes warmer temperatures. Of all places in Middle-earth, he favors northern Eriador. The rest of his history is fairly typical of a roving warrior of the second and third ages: he goes places and kills things.

Folwren · 07-02-2007, 11:43 AM

Hi! I've finally posted something. Mormegil, Tevildo, or even Child could make the next move, probably. Have fun with it. Let me know if I used any characters inappropriately. I can edit as anyone wishes.

-- Folwren

Tevildo · 07-21-2007, 11:27 PM

Post up... (finally).

Child or Morm or Folwren? Want to follow up?
