Goody, this gives me something to look forward to.

I've just put up a post for Loni and Nali. Nali is talking to Folwren's character and Durelin's will soon be called into play. I thought that a little more interaction would be nice, so I added Korin to the council's members. Legate, let me know if I have overstepped my bounds with Loni, I do not know if the proposal he made would be in accordance with his character.

Groin, when would you like me to write for Ori?

I'm afraid I won't have time to write for Vigdis today as I can't be making noise with typing much longer tonight and I have history homework to finish... but I will try to find time to write something for her tomorrow and if not then, I should have at least a little time on Friday...

It's near the end of the week right now, so today I'll have Tror ask Frar and Nali fetch Korin. When Gwathagor and Durelin respond they can bring the characters to the Eastern-Gate. I'll make sure that we get there as swiftly as possible.

Maybe if you think Náli could do this, you could merely change the roles in the dialogue (of course the "attitudes of his brother" comment would have to be altered). Because I don't really think Lóni would be the active one in this. The best will be really just switcing the names in the dialogue.

No problem, I've edited the posts and sent Loni off to the gate. I hope that was alright, unless you have something for Loni to say to anyone in the great hall.

Alright, but I won't be able to write anything during the weekend, except maybe Sunday evening...

I was planning to write for Vigdis today but work exhausted me and writing Christmas cards took more time than I thought it would... I'll write for her tomorrow, and that's a promise I will keep.

I'm good to go again, hopefully I didn't leave you all having to stall too long. Nasty little court case that we had no business being at. The deputy who pulled over one of our drivers even said he wasn't sure what the law said but gave him a ticket anyway.

All done Boro, although I think I rushed it and made things move along faster than needed. What do you think? Also, how is your character? Let me know if I wrote something wrong, or if you want to write for him instead.~Groin

Post is great, it works nicely with Gror.

I think it might be better if Oin informed everyone about the orcs...I mean Gror just knew there were a lot of them, that is if you want a detailed account from someone. Now, Gror can of course state his business for being in Moria in more depth, and perhaps (unintentionally of course ) give the dwarves false hope that their fellows from Erebor will be coming?

[Durelin]

Groin - I left it open in my post whether or not Nali has left Korin and Kor. I think right now the siblings are perfectly capable of carrying on a conversation between themselves while Nali's still trying to talk to them. So up to you whether or not Nali has more to say.

[Thinlómien]

I didn't mean to write a novel, but...

Yes, but Gror will obviously be asked about it because no one knows when Óin will return...

And really, everybody, I tell you, I love this RPG.

I second what Lommy has said, also, Legate wants Oin brought to Khazad-dum with the orcs nipping at his heels. The confusion and lack of information won't be an odd or an unwelcome thing, it is usually how battles are planned, plus it makes for some interesting writing. Personally I like it better if Gror explains everything, that way I can use a subplot that I have been waiting to use with Oin and Tror.

Durelin, I'll have Nali stay and listen to Korin and Kor's conversation. He'll probably want to make sure that his idea gets to the council as soon as possible.

[Gwathagor]

Hey Groin, "whilst" is actually an archaic form of "while" rather than "will."

By the way, both Vigdis and Ori are so much going to love that wailing of the women and the special means to stall it...

[Folwren]

AHA! I am FINALLY getting into this character! He is beginning to fit what I had originally imagined.

Okay, folks, I've posted again. Not that I needed to blare a trumpet or anything. Kitanna, I have joined the grandchildren and grandfather, and may now wait your response.

Groin, I have answered Nali, but sent him off again. Kenan will soon be at your convenience. I think, though am not sure, that there will be some choice words spoken at this said council. Things may be...eh...interesting, shall we say?

I am looking forward to it.

And, Arry I would have had more discussion with your character (I wanted to let you post again after Kenan got so heated), but since Groin had posted with Nali coming up, I didn't feel I could keep him waiting. However, if you think it likely (as I did) that Vitr would say something in response to Kenan's outburst of feeling, you can write something and PM it to me (or something) and I can edit it into my post. Whatever you want to do. I did not want to venture writing for your character.

I've put up a save and hopefully will respond soon. Hopefully it will only take me a day or two to fill the save.

I think I'll have Vitr head back to his family. Kenan has certainly given him something to think about - I think Vitr would not have questioned Balin's decision to go out alone, but now here is an elder Dwarf voicing the opinion that that was essentially an ill-thought move.

We'll see what I can come up with.

& thanks - about the 'not venturing'.

-- Arry

[Folwren]

Great. I'll get Kenan moving within the next day or two and get him going towards the council.

-- Foley

[Ilya]

Finals: 0, Me: 1. Now, if only the Saints had a similar record...

Finally filled in my save and hopefully I'll have the chance to catch up on everybody's posts tonight and tomorrow.

[Arry]

Nice post, Lilly! I'll try to continue the conversation from Vitr's side sometime later today.

"Wiggle room" - what might you be cooking up that you need it for?

-----

Great posts, everyone! Am very much enjoying writing in and reading along on this game!!

What a bomb to drop on poor Vitr!

I'll see what I can come up with for the sure-to-be duty-torn Dwarf.

-- Arry

[Groin Redbeard]

I have PMed Gwathagor, Folwren, so Frar and Tror will make it to the council soon. They'll probably begin the discussion as soon as they arrive, just go ahead and get Kenan to the council whenever, it might actually be fun if he showed up late.

Indeed, I wonder if the Dwarves have the draft instituted.

[Gwathagor]

Tror and Frar are on their way to the council. If you'd like them actually in the chamber itself, I can arrange that.

[Groin Redbeard]

Nice post Folwren, Tror will do his best to contain himself. I will think the matter through tonight and get a post up tomorrow. Durelin, if you want to chime in with Kenan on the matter before tomorrow that will be alright with me. It doesn't have to be much.

EDIT: Folwren mentioned something about Kenan standing up, I just wanted to explain what the situation is for the council. Everyone is probably sitting except for those who are speaking and a square stone table is in the middle of the circle of chairs that holds a map of the Dimrill Dale. There are also around six chosen soldiers to stand guard holding torches for light. Just something I thought that you should know.
