It's nothing important, so no worries if nothing comes of it before we've moved on from the banquet.

Yes, very nice, Dury. I am actually already in the process of writing a post... let's see if I get it done now.

And I see something's happening even otherwise...

Whoa!

Lommy, was that an aim, or a hit? Will Lithor duck in time?

I'm leaving the decision to the next writer, whoever it is.

Nogrod · 12-07-2009, 04:40 PM

O... M... G... !

Lommy, you're such a menace! ... well your characters are...

I'm kind of backing away from the stance that lord Athanar would be very easy on everything his sons do... I clearly promised too much there.

Nice posts Form and Dury!

It would be nice if we have some spare time during this day that Athanar would notice Náin smoking a pipe as well. That might serve as an introduction between them, and if not on this banquet-night, then the next day or something.

And belated thanks to Fea for giving me a nice lead to turn the general discussion of politics of Gondor into the pressing problems he himself - and the Mead Hall - has!

Hey, why is everybody against my characters?

Somebody local has attacked their little sister and they don't know who it was or what happened.

Their father has been insulted, and there has been treasonous talk against him on the first day of their arrival although their father has tried to be fair to the locals.

They themselves have been insulted and their authority and rights have been questioned, and they have been patronised and belittled.

I would be pretty ****ed off too.

edit: haha 'downs censors me, I guess it's just fair although I didn't expect that!

You can be mad in a prudent manner. Such lords should not act in such low behavior as shoving.

Although I quite agree that it is in their right to do, Lithor's talent is with words and he won't attempt to actually fight his superiors unless they showed some gross disrespect to his friends.

It is as a famous play writer once said:

The gentler gamester is the soonest winner.

Indeed, our characters make good points on which to be respected, but it is no fun when we only look at the dull, narrow, view of our characters. It is

Mnemosyne · 12-07-2009, 05:04 PM

Okay, I figured brawls were getting a little old...

Lommy, you had better have a good explanation for what you were doing.

Nogrod · 12-07-2009, 05:21 PM

Oh how I love Wynflaed!

But Mnemo, shouldn't it be W & W who have something to explain and not Lommy?

I was actually a bit afraid it might have gone over the top there but now I think we have chances to talk this out... even if not without some further pain...

Heh, how to deal with all the wrong-doings of the first evening? It's not too easy to be a lord and face all that...

There you go quoting Henry V again.

I love that play!

I can't escape it!

Anyway, I think that it is about time to introduce some proper new characters to Scarburg

who aren't soldiers.

NAME: Girth

Age: 33 years young

APPEARANCE: Girth’s height is no more than five feet. Girth’s size is a credit to his name, as round as a barrel from his legs to his head. The hair on his head is few and is as yellow as a daisy. He dons a broad brimmed hat and the most humble of clothes.

TRAITS/BEHAVIOUR: A simple peasant, Girth knows no ambition or aspirations for future promotion. Each day passes like the next, Girth does not think of tomorrow, he lets tomorrow worry about itself. Content with anything and anywhere, Girth knows no contempt for his fellow man if he is left unmolested. An extremely simple man, Girth chooses to be grateful for the few blessings that he is graced with. He owns nothing, not even the staff in his hand is his. All that he uses belongs to his lord. He takes great pride in small accomplishments. “A small accomplishment is the foundation of a big thing. And that is not a small accomplishment.”

HISTORY: One day is like the next to Girth. Girth was born to Grim the Swine Herder under Athanar’s father and Girth has proudly inherited the title as swine herder. Though swine herder is his chief pride, he watches all the cattle, sheep, goats, and poultry that are in Lord Athanar’s camp. His friends are many. All who come across his path that he likes he calls a friend. The closest friend of Girth is a frazzle haired, skinny, young man by the name of Hamrod. They both have adopted a tramp dog who they have cleverly named Dog.

Both eagerly await the new life at Scarburg.
