Save filled - the computer ate last nights version. Apologies for the wholesale rip off of the doom of Mandos.

I did write a scenario with Lachrandir's horse bearing Lachrandir in tathren's arms but besides being extremely sappy I had a sudden vision of Lachrandir's head falling off which I now can't rid myself of. So I deleted it.... the bier thingy may well be the way to go.

Oh, wow. The laugh that got out of me was practically shameful, considering the circumstances.

Yes, when I said put him on a horse, I meant, bear him before another rider (Tathren, presumably), as Imahril did Faramir, or eomer did Theodred in the movie. But a bier is good.

Dreadful isn't it? Meant to be so moving and pieta like but I can't get beyond this potentially precarious head, what with Lachrandir being about a foot taller than Tathren and somehow them riding bareback eems to make the whole thing more difficult to manage.

I think it is all fault of a casualty (ER )nurse I used to know who told me some very gruesome tales about motorcyclists....

*chuckle* Your post was very good - it was moving. Riding bareback isn't difficult, but riding bareback holding someone a foot taller than you probably would be difficult. Never tried it.

I'll try to post today or tomorrow.

Well some horses are more comfortable than others, though personally I'd prefer a saddle over any distance but I imagine it would be harder to support the body if you, yourself don't have the support of the stirrups. It probably is possible - but probably a bit undignified...

Anguirel is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
I've just read the RP through and it is beyond my expectations and hopes in its success so far...

I am basically off-Downs, but if he is needed at the end, I would very much like to play Caranthir.

Poor old Lachers, eh!

Phew! I was worried you'd be angry at Lacher's death.
