It took a while, but I finished my save.

I have a few days off soon so I'll probably get up another post up before the end of the week. Or at least that's my plan.

I'm back. I hope everybody's is having fun with summer, I know I am.

Kitanna, very nice save. You surprised me when Kenan took his grandson to battle--desperate measures for desperate times.

Thanks for posting about the battle, Legate; it is always nice to see another point of view. Unless other people want to post about the battle I suspect I will be summing it up soon. I have been away for a while and it doesn't seem like the battle is that big of a deal; besides, there will always be more.

I'll close it up at the beginning of the week unless there are objections.

Meep, has it really been over a month since I posted?

I've been horrible, sorry...not helping pick back up momentum at all. Moving on very soon sounds good...but I'll try to sneak a post in to continue with Kor and maybe bring Korin up to date. Got to figure out what to do with her (besides the obvious of getting her out on the battlefield as soon as possible). Anyone need her for anything?

Edit: I filled my save I put up rather needlessly.

Alright y'all. I'll be getting up a post for Tror and Nisa tomorrow afternoon. I'd like to see at least one more post from Onli, Ori, Oin, and Kor/Korin before I close the battle. It doesn't have to be long, I just like to read y'all's posts.

If you don't think you can get another post up let me know and I will be sure to give your character some extra attention in the battle overview post.

I think moving on from the battle as soon as possible is a good idea. Battles may be the most exciting part of pen and paper RPing (as in DnD), but in forum roleplaying, especially a large scale battle isn't the most stimulating. It's hard to keep things interesting while also keeping them realistic, in a way. I don't know - this is my experience at least.

I definitely don't think we should dwell too long on any of the battles, and should keep events moving, regardless of who or how many people are posting. Just my two cents. I'll try my best to help keep events moving and bring back some momentum, not that I've ever been very good at that...

Anyway, I like where I left Kor and Korin...Kor was with the dwarves who took Tror back to the 'hospital', Korin kinda ended up in the reserves that haven't entered the battle yet. If you want me to bring Kor back out to the battle or have Korin's regiment (or whatever it should be called) really enter the battle, I suppose I could, but...I'd prefer to move on, and if it's just going to be another post from me and then the wrap up post it doesn't really feel like there's much of a point.

And no need to cover anything with Kor and Korin really in your wrap up post - Korin's moment of glory will come later.

Edit: Aha, upon reading your post Groin, I will try to get a post in for Kor quickly, but don't wait on me of course.

Groin Redbeard · 08-12-2009, 02:59 PM

Hello, is anybody there?

I'll get a post up for Tror soon, Durelin. Thanks for posting.

Groin Redbeard · 08-15-2009, 09:12 AM

I have been debating with myself for a long time on whether or not I should leave the Downs. However, with much needless worry and careful deliberation I have made the decision to leave the Barrow Downs for.

Since y'all are the only people who will be affected by my leaving I wanted to bring it to you. My question is will this RPG continue if I'm gone? Dury and Lommy have been the only ones who have played a major role in it so far and everybody else seems to pop in when their character is being confronted. Do y'all want to continue this or should Pio shut it down?
