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

Credit in great part to Foley who has held it together despite everything.

Gwathy, I have got Tathren more or less home. I literally ran out of time before I could get him through the gates - well I did but it was one of those posts that took a disproportioante amount of time because it got better the more I edited out and the exchange with the sentinels was consequently too weak. I should be around more than usual for the next few days so if you want to discuss the interview either here or on PM that should work. I don't mind if you want to pick Tathren up from where he is now or if you want me to make a post that gets him to his audience with Caranthir... poor lad is a bag of nerves and I don't expect you to be gentle with him.

Once that is over I will do a final post for him but the nature of it will depend on where we draw the line.

Terrific! I'll try to post for Caranthir this week.

Gwathagor · 01-11-2009, 11:04 PM

There! How's that? I hope I didn't take too many liberties with Tathren.

Gwathagor · 01-12-2009, 11:49 PM

Do we now just need to write epilogues for our characters? Or are there a few things to wrap up first?

Folwren · 01-13-2009, 08:43 AM

I have nothing to wrap up for my characters, beside the epilogue. Pio and Noinkling? What about you two?

That was a great post, Gwathagor! I really enjoyed it. Caranthir's haughtiness to Tathren almost made me feel not as guilty about my character's evil treachery.

Straight to epilogue will be fine for me.

Noinkling - I'll wait until you've filled your save.

Wow.... that wasn't what I expected but

I never realised the lad could muster so much spirit. I think you have changed his fate... but I really like it.

Thank you!

Oh? What had you expected to happen? (I'm glad you like it.)

Oh I don''t quite know - I suppose I thought he would be a more complete lamb to the slaughter rather than mentally giving Caranthir err the Agincourt salut

. I really like it and it works ... and I loved the quote from Lachrandir. Really wonderful ... the boy is feistier than his "mother" realised. I may have to let him live

Has there been a decision about where we are cutting off? I dont have a strong preference but if I know I can probably finish Tathren off (so to speak) quite quickly now that Gwathagor has illuminated his path...
