Treachery of Men Discussion/Planning Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gwathagor · 01-06-2008, 06:53 PM

Hey everyone...I've read all the posts involving Jord, and many of the others, especially those involving the Ul- bros and Lachrandir. So I'll try to just jump in and start treading water; we'll see how I do. I am not, however, up to date on discussion thread posts, so please fill me in. I'm particularly interested in how I ought to relate to other characters, or if there is anything expected of my character, like knocking off Khandr, or other things I might not know if I hadn't read all the proper discussion thread posts.

I'd love advice from the game owners and the posters.

Wonderful, Gwathagor. I'm so glad you agreed to take on this role.

What's happening at present in the game is as follows.

In the morning of this day, Uldor and his brothers and those of their household that were invited (different lords and servants and stuff, I guess) along with Lachrandir and his squire fellow saddled up and prepared for a hunt. They were invited by Khandr. When they arrived, and before they set off, Thorn, a new character to the story, arrived and told Khandr that he was going to be murdured that day. He also told him that Uldor was trecherous.

Khandr, suddenly rather disoriented, headed off towards home to arrange his affairs and try to get stuff figured out before he was killed. He sent word to Uldor and Co. to go ahead, and so they have.

Uldor, suspecting something, sent someone after Thorn, but the messenger person was waylaid and knocked out and so Uldor doesn't know what Thorn said.

Jord, your character, is supposed to, according to original plans, kill Khandr. However, this plan has changed a couple times since Durelin and I'm not entirely sure what's been decided. If you decide that you want Jord to kill Khandr, say so, and the thing will be settled.

For now, I think that's all that's going on. If I think of anything else that you need to know, I'll tell you... And if you have any other questions, jsut ask and someone will be sure to answer to the best of their ability.

I'd love to kill Khandr.

Did Jord and Uldor plan the killing, or is Jord acting on her own still?

Gwathagor · 01-07-2008, 12:26 AM

LMP: So how 'bout this confrontation with Thorn? I'm ready, just give the word.

Ah....that's what I like to hear. An able bodied character willing to do away with Khandr.

Originally, Durelin and I had talked about some kind of confrontation between Jord and Khandr and then Jord acting on her own. However, all that is open to change. So let me know what you prefer or just spring it on me in the storyline...however you want to handle it.

Khandr is on the way to the palace to snoop around. However, I'll make sure and finish off Khandr's post with Thorn now so LMP will be free to go anywhere that you two desire.

Welcome to the game!

I've set the scene up as best I could. Bring on Fálki.

Maybe Dag should show up sometime; what do you think?

Folwren · 01-07-2008, 08:30 AM

I have nothing to do with this murder...and therefore, most likely, neither does Uldor. But he does stuff behind my back sometimes, the villain....

So, just say that it's Jord acting on her own.

I like the idea of some kind of confrontation between Jord and Khandr, so: Jord will knife Khandr, and then they can have a sort of a metaphysical/dream confrontation while Khandr hovers between the living and the dead (ala Assassin's Creed).

How does that strike you?

I don't know..... doesn't sound particularly Middle Earthish, but I suppose it may be in how it's done. I don't know Assassin's Creed.

The plot seems to be calling for Khandr to meet up with Jord no matter what Thorn might do. Khandr has left Khandr's homestead and is going directly to the palace. Jord has left the palace and is going directly to Khandr's holding. These two bee-lines look too direct for Thorn to reach Jord first; he may have special knowledge, but he is only human.

Noinkling! Great to have you back! I've been reading your posts with great respect, and now there's more to enjoy.
