Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread

[Durelin]

I'm sorry, I've been very busy. I have two weeks left in the semester. I will try to post as soon as I can.

If you want to move on, not a big deal obviously. If you want to just make Coen say that he thinks Lithor may have been involved, you can do that, but I know no one necessarily wants to handle that.

I realize I needed to make the move here to continue it but I just haven't had the time, sorry.

Eorl, 1). Wynflaed is meeting Saeryn in the hall, not the kitchen. So I don't know what's going on with Kara now, but maybe she should be interacting with the women who are still there.

2). Wynflaed has a firm step, not a silken tread. A small thing, I know, but it can speak volumes about the character.

Ah, okay. +dutifully trudges off to make the necessary changes and to rewrite the post to include conversation with Frodides+

But in an hour or few weeks, how would Lord Athanar EVER know of Thornen's... ah... closemouthedness?
It's not like anyone else has seen Thornen see Lithor ride off, as they would have then seen the direction Lithor and Erbrand ride off as well.
Unless Thornen confesses himself, (which would NOT be a prudent move), I don't see how anyone could ever get wise to what Thornen had seen of Lithor.

Don't be so boring. the time hasn't come yet to decide what happens. We'll cross that bridge when we're ready.

That I think would leave it up to you Foley. So if Coen isn't offering the insecure speculation (insecure to him) about Lithor actively (if I read Dury right), then it would be up to whether Thornden would like to say something or not...

If you Foley think Thornden would say nothing, just post something or tell us here he will turn on his heels and go. If he will say something though, then feel free to use lord Athanar in your post along the lines I specified in my earlier post here in the admin thread - or PM me for any responses you'd like to have from lord Athanar.

I sent Durelin a PM telling her that Thornden would say nothing, so it's really up to Coenred to mention Lithor, if anyone does at this point in time. Since what Coen will say will have so much affect on my character, I'd rather not decide if he says anything or what he says. I plan on having Thornden say nothing at all, but those plans might change, depending on what Coenred says, or what Athanar asks, etc....this is a place where it would be lots of fun for all the characters' writers to write. Hopefully Durelin will have some time to post eventually. I'm willing to wait...I just got impatient because everyone was absolutely silent for days.

As for Thornden, he is ready to go and do what Athanar told him - get a couple small search parties to search the marshes and then oversee a search over the immediate vicinity.

Mnemo, I'll post for Saeryn hopefully later today.

EDIT: I realized that sounded too authoritarian. I didn't mean that. ... We can continue, if you want to, Nogrod, I just don't want to write for Coenred.

Don't be embarrassed. You just said what you thought and which were the limits you'd feel comfortable of going... no problem here I think. On the contrary. It's good to know how you feel about the situation.

I sent Durelin a PM telling her that Thornden would say nothing, so it's really up to Coenred to mention Lithor, if anyone does at this point in time.

Let's give Dury a chance to write a post then - and really Dury - you could just make one to three sentences where he either says something or goes to accomplish the mission. We can then take it up from there if you are busy.

As for Thornden, he is ready to go and do what Athanar told him - get a couple small search parties to search the marshes and then oversee a search over the immediate vicinity.

So he has decided not to tell lord Athanar where the two had gone to secure their escape? That's actually quite okay as we need to get them out of the story and so any chance of the people of the MH actually getting hold of them would be a bad idea... and there's always the possibility that if we had no other tensions at one stage of the story (now it looks highly unlikely, but if) then we could make lord Athanar learn that Thornden knew where the two were heading (and that they were the two of them) and start to think why didn't he tell him about it!

But I think we have enough things to settle without that twist right now, or what do you think?

Yes, he's decided not to say anything in order to secure their escape. I hope my last post for him on the gamethread kind of said that...in a round about way. lol. Yes, I do see it as a future encounter. I figured that in order for Groin's plan to have them escape to work, Thornden would have to decide to remain silent, since Groin also wrote about Lithor seeing Thornden and practically telling him fair well, from a distance. But I like it this way.

Yeah, I plan on waiting until this game day has ended. It'll be a few weeks RL time at the least before Athanar knows anything about Thornden's ... deceit, if it must be called that.

But, on the other hand, things MIGHT turn out that Thornden is forced into saying something. One never knows when you play with multiple players.

I'm willing to wait for Dury. I'm really excited again.
