Tapestry of Dreams, Part 2 Discussion - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hello to all...

I've been trying to find the time to write, and simply haven't been finding it. Things are dreadfully busy, and it doesn't look like that will be changing anytime soon. In short, I'm going to have to decide whether I can actually do this or not.

I'll be leaving for Ireland in a few days, and won't be back until towards the end of that month. During that time I'm going to sit back and relax, and hopefully restore mind, body, and soul. Upon my return I'll make a definite plan of what I'm going to do with the game. If it comes to the worst, I'll send Liornung home, pass Leafa onto someone else, and step down. I'd hate to it, but more than that I'd hate to hold the rest of you up.

But I was wondering... is there any chance that I could simply pass Leafa along to someone else and abandon the other steps? I feel fairly confident that I could handle just Liornung, as he's a pretty quiet fellow most of the time anyway.

Looking at all the options:

1. someone takes over Leafa.

a. I could, due to Ædegard.
b. Another more or less active writer who has a feel for the character.

2. Leafa dies.

Not trying to be cruel. What best serves the story? This would have much to do with Ædegard, who at various times I've tried and failed to get killed. Any thoughts?

Leafa dies, Ædegard dies of grief? Two birds...

Well not of grief, but he becomes "fey", as Tolkien calls it, and reckless, and gets himself killed. That's how I see it. But yes, "two birds".

This seems like it could add some interesting things to the plot.

We shall have to see what Nuru thinks.

Fea, this is getting interesting and fun again.

Reminds me of Prisoner of Numenor. I find your set ups challenging in a very, very good way. Huzzah!

*blush*

I miss Prisoner. I had fun with that, except for some brief trauma killing Kath off.
