Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread

[littlemanpoet]

Thanks, guys. I'll get it done tonight. Supper's ready right now so it'll have to wait for a bit. Funny, I started with dice but they didn't really work at all. Then I went with what I knew of the characters, and just sort of went with what I would expect of the characters, and it's been writing itself. Glad I took wrestling in grade school.

Well, that explains it. Those were exciting posts to read, Elempi.

Harreld won! I'm nearly as pleased as Ginna. I could write a character interaction post for this, but I could probably do no more than have Ginna act like a Harreld fangirl.

Actually, I lied. I can't write a post. There's nothing like schoolwork to sap my creative juices, and I'm still supposed to be writing a post for Randvér! I had a plan several months ago on how to bring Rand to the Mead Hall while everyone was busy with making the place comfortably inhabitable, but I couldn't write then, and I certainly can't use that idea now.

I was thinking that it would probably be likely for Eodwine to summon Rand to his new Mead Hall. For what reason specifically, I cannot think for the Eorl. And beyond that, I'm not sure what could happen. Maybe I should spend an entire week's worth of nights to focus on this.

Can anyone please give me a nudge, a push, or a shove?

Hey Lhunatic-

*shove*

[Folwren]

Lhuna, I hope you can find time and creative juice enough soon to write that post with Randver coming back. Will it not be a very interesting meeting? Will he approve of Ginna's attraction to Harreld? Will she tell him about it? Will Harreld approach him and ask if he can marry Ginna? Oh, the possibilities!

I hope you can write it soon.

Thanks, Foley. I've actually thought about that as soon as Harreld started making moves, so to speak. It won't be easy, but it will be very interesting to write.

I would never think of acting as a stumbling block to your obedience, Elempi, but I am going to need you for this. I can never write for Harreld by myself.

I'll write Harreld for this Day, and now that the other rpg that I'm still in has apparently started up again, well, let's just say, we'll see about beyond that.

As for getting Randvér to Scarburg, that seems simple enough, even without a summons from Eodwine: word spreads like wildfire when there's news to tell, and surely it is news that the Eorl of the new Middle Emnet has moved from Edoras to Scarburg. Rand will surely be curious and want to visit, both to see what is happening for his friend Eodwine, as well as how his daughter is doing.

By the way, when I had Crabannan and Harreld in that momentary deadlock, I decided that I didn't care who won, and so I simply rolled the dice three times for each: once for strength, once for dexterity, and once for endurance. Crabannan's roll for dexterity was the only one that failed. I wrote accordingly, and suggested as much through Harreld saying there was luck involved.

Yes, not to mention all the excitement it will cause for the other characters! We get to be judgmental of the situation!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't wait for the dance and riddles. So let's open it up for the rest of these competitions. Whoever wants to write one, go ahead and do it, and let's not worry about who's turn it is.

In about one week, we will move to the dance and riddle stage of this prolonged Day, and if there are any games that have not been written by then, they will be summarized.

Please let's keep this going.

[Groin Redbeard]

It might take me some time, but I'll get the archery contest up as soon as possible.

[littlemanpoet]

Fea, Eodwine has dropped a bit of a bomb in Degas' lap, so to speak. Please read and write at your earliest convenience.....

[Nogrod]

I've been rushed with pretty much RL stuff and a heck of a WW-game (by Fea, so you know what it means... ).

But I have peeked in every now and then. This goes nicely even if slowly.

So I'm on after Firefoot - with two games...

Just inform me about your characters agility, balance, strength & cunning for the sack fight - and whether they are used to the qurterstaff or are especially good or bad with it.

[Firefoot]

The dagger throwing post is mostly written - should be up tomorrow.

[Lhunardawen]

Sorry I've disappeared from the face of the Downs, loves, but the internet connection in my boarding house is not working. I'll take advantage of the fact that I have a lab report to hand over near the end of the week, and sneak in writing an RPG post while doing that.

Does anyone else think it seems too easy if I have Randvér run into Eodwine and Degas as they finish their conversation or something like that? Right now I really can't think of anything more...creative. *sigh*

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Elempi, I have read your post, but I do not know how to respond. I do not know what a fair arrangement might consist of, and for the next few days, my internet is mind-numbingly slow, so the idea of spending hours of page-loading time trying to find a simple answer to Eodwine's question is rather daunting. If you can wait until, say, Friday, it shouldn't take me more than an hour. Or if somebody knows off the top of their head what a good response would be, that could work as well.

As a side note, the only person I attempted to bribe and berate into playing this Werewolf game politely declined. I don't make anybody devote their time to my projects.
