In terms of your characters, Leafa and Ædegard, perhaps against Ædegard's own personal code of conduct, really want to go back to papa. You can write about how those two are ready to separate themselves from the quest, but feel guilty about leaving everyeone, and other matters that might run alongside that.

As per Liornung, he intends to rejoin the quest, and now clearly so does Ravion. And apparently the severe headwound to Mellonin/Avarien is not so severe, so Liornung could play "eye witness" to Ravion's healing prowess, not to mention a possible little bit of romantic conversation overheard by itching ears...... Just some (probably bad) ideas.

Does Liornung dream?

Since nobody is writing Bellyn, you could have a conversation between Bellyn and Liornung; this rpg hasn't experienced one of those in a long, long time.

A conversation between Bellyn and Liornung would certainly be a nice way to ease back into the game.

So... at the present moment we're in the little hut, correct? Is it evening?

Er-- Yes! Or late enough in the afternoon so that Ravion doesn't mind crashing.

Does Liornung still have his fiddle? Would that freak Saethryd out? Maybe she'd love it? BY the way Ravion should have said thanks to Liornung for his help, but he was overfocused, so to speak.

Amroth, by the way, misses Bella's singing. A lot. But he hasn't been able to say so lately.

lmp (nice new sig) or Formendacil-- Raefindan, Aeron, Mellondu, Erebemlin, and Bergil-- and who else?-- are chasing Nastyelf? Whither? Round the southeast of Mindolluin, or westward?

Firefoot, the King's horse is still patiently watching Rugh. A wind-shift might tell RUgh that the horse is there, if you'd like. I don't know what your plans for Rugh are at this time so I figure I'd jsut leave some possibilities?

Celuien, Should Saethryd have some reactions to this invasion of her cottage? Has she ever had so many "guests"?

How does our favorite hound feel about all this-- eermy or aroo?

Thanks.

Tharonwë leads them up the north face toward the pass between Mindolluin and the next peak to the west. I believe this is at just over 6000 feet up at its highest point. So their trajectory is across the northern face of Mindolluin, until they leave that mountain altogether and descend along the southern face of the mountain just to the west of Mindolluin.

Thanks for the nudge. I'll check in with Jorje and see... or - er - smell....

Before I fill in my save, I was wondering ... is Bella going to be dropping out of the quest? If so, I could introduce that idea.... Liornung suggesting that perhaps she could accompany Ædegard and Leafa 'back to civilization.'

Know what, Nuru? My sense is that it's up to you. If you consider yourself capable and interested enough to write Bella and keep her around, then whe can stay in the quest. So it's up to you, your Liornung character being about as close to the Bella character as any has gotten. So do you feel like you know what makes Bella tick?

Nurumaiel · 09-19-2007, 10:25 PM

Well, you see, that's just the thing. I 'knew' her well enough to have Liornung and Leafa interact with her, but she really is a rather deep girl and I don't know if I could do her justice.

And that question aside, I don't know if I have the time to commit to the additional character.

Would there be any negative impacts on the story if she went home? If so, I'm sure I could spend enough time on her to at least keep her in, even if I didn't give her too much attention. If not, I imagine I'd rather see her sent off safely in the company of Ædegard and Leafa.
