Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nope, I had the same idea. Like they're standing together in a little knot or something.

I'm off to read the new posts and then likely going to bed. I likely won't have time to post again this evening...but if I do, I'll go ahead and knock something up.

P.S. Yay, Elempi! You're bringing Harreld's brother back in! I liked that fellow. He was quite entertaining.

And I did get a few lines up after all. Have at it, Nogrod.

Elempi, you're committing the same mistake I used to commit. Harreld's twin is named Garreth.

Hey, lovely to see these things going, seems that we are on the move once again

Great posts, people... and great to have also different characters on the stage... that's how it's supposed to be

Lhuna! You're around! Good to "see ya"! I might not have written a little for Ginna if I'd known. Did I do okay on Ginna?

(I'll fix my little Garreth error.)

Nogrod · 10-21-2010, 04:21 PM

Sorry. It was a more hectic day I had imagined and I only got home around 11PM. I have made Athanar to answer Thornden and send the two back to their seats. I'll write the (hopefully shortish) speech tomorrow. Meanwhile, do post on any issues.

lmp: I'll try to come up with a solution to our background discussion tomorrow. PM'ing you tomorrow as well.

I was in the area and I thought I'd drop by.

It's good to see you back here, too! Imagine my surprise when I saw you post...

You did great. Hard to unlearn old fears, indeed. I have a couple more weeks of freedom before classes resume. Do you want to write a little something for Harreld and Ginna?

(Advanced warning: Lhuna is rusty.)

Folwren · 10-23-2010, 09:22 AM

Lhuna, we'd LOVE it if you wrote something.

It'll feel like the whole family is back in one place again.

Nogrod, your post was good. I feel that if we wanted to, we could move on soon. Perhaps we should wait for another word from Durelin, but if we don't hear from her, we can move to the next day.

One problem: I really have no idea who Thornden would choose. I'll have to peruse the list of soldiers that are being played. Any suggestions for anyone? It would be a BAD idea to send Matrim and Aflorgad (or however you spell his name) off together. I actually think that Thornden wouldn't pick Matrim anyway, I just thought I'd throw that out there.

Foley:

For the sake of putting things in context, if ever, do you mind giving me a quick summary of everything that's happened since Eodwine and Saeryn got married? The only things I picked up from my browsing are that Eodwine got sick and is now in the Houses of Healing, Athanar's the new eorl, and Erbrand (joined by Lithor) fled when he (accidentally?) killed one of his men. I'm sure I missed a lot of important stuff.

He didn't kill him, but he thought he killed him, and he fled. It was an unfortunate set of coincidences, basically leading the men to start fighting each other when nobody else was around. The man (certain soldier called Scyrr) is now being cared of by the healer (he was badly wounded, but not dead). The next step (and the main reason why Athanar came anyway) is to deal with the local landlords who seemed not to be very keen on the eorl-less Mead Hall sticking its nose into their private "realms". Otherwise, I think you have listed the rest correctly. I don't know much anything about pre-Athanar events, so perhaps somebody else can tell you, although I assume there wasn't much.

But wouldn't that be hilarious if Áforglaed (that's the name

) went with Matrim? But no, I think it can be anybody. But if we plan to write for these two fellows as well, then it would be nice if the other one was somebody's specific character, so that there can be some nice dialogue on the way. Or we just treat it as NPC-trip and say "well, they went there and came back".

Go for it, rusty or not! I like it better when you write for Ginna instead of me.

Edit: Lhuna, would you like me to change my posts a little bit, or do you want to add something to it? Feel free to tell me, or PM a change, or however you want to handle it... Also, didn't Harreld and Ginna become betrothed the day of Eodwine and Saeryn's wedding? I s'pose we had better think about that, as well as timing for a marriage if that's what will happen? And Ginna's father is not likely to warm to it either, come to think of it....
