The Fellowship of the Fourth Age (Part 1): A New Beginning Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Alright. My save is filled.

Tevildo, I did nothing with Dorran because I'm not positive about what you're planning on doing with him.

Child, I formed my post to run right into yours, so...I hope you're happy.

Also, it's Khamir in this story and Khandr in the Treachery of Men story. Thought you might want to be told. Also...in your other last post on the game thread, you kept writing Athwen when I believe you meant Azhar.

I know I've promised this possibly a few times already, but I will be with the story in a Day or two...

But really all kinds of things have been in the way, mainly unexpected works and enjoying the summer with Lommy & her sis. But now I'm going to be alone in the city for a couple of weeks and should have time also to catch up and take part in here...

See you soon.

I've put up a save for Azhar and Dorran each to speak their mind. At the end of that post, Azhar will wander off with the children in preparation for the scene when they get in trouble in the water.

Folwren - No problem with that. After this post, your character should have an idea how Dorran feels.

Nogrod - I'm looking forward to your return.

"Athwen"? "Khandr"?

Wow! I better start taking ginko..... I think I've corrected them. That was a great lead in post, Folwren.

Durelin - Please excuse my edit tag. At one point, before reading Folwren's lead-in, I relocated my post at the tag end of your box, and then removed it so it could come later in the string.

I posted for Gwerr and the other orcs first as Regin was online and had a tied schedule.

What I had in mind was that the orcs might have something interesting to post while the meeting of the fellowship & the slaves goes on and we wait for the female-orcs to come to pledge for the male-orcs lives.

So I'm not suggesting the male-orcs could actually manage the charge. That would inevitably lead to deaths and to the impossibility of uniting the two sides.

But is it now a deal that there will be a flood of sorts putting both human and orc children to a risk? If it is, we should then think about the order of posting a bit. The slaves & the f-s will discuss their future and the fate of the orcs while the male-orcs climb up and finally get to listen to what happens outside the door (unfortunately for them the meeting is taking place in front of the pit so they can't charge straight away as everyone's there). Then we need the children going to dangerous places and the females to come forwards with their pleas, right?

And then the flooding and the children in despair?

What follows then should perhaps be discussed... or if I am wrong, please bring me back to the present general idea about how we proceed.

PS. Child: Let me know if I have mishandled Makdush. I will naturally change everything you suggest should be changed.

Hadith's post is in too. Nice to be back.

Tevildo: should you consider removing your save when you will actually fill it as I have not been able to pay heed to what your characters were about to say as there was no information on that? So as Hadith has already spoken your characters should speak after him in the thread?

So sorry to be late in getting Carl's save filled, but it up there now. Haven't been able to read the last few entries, but it is nice to see things moving again. I'll be playing catch up with my reading at lunch tomorrow I should think.
