The King's Players - Discussion/Planning Thread

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Why yes, there was just a magical disappearing post from me. I crossposted with Master Formy, and his post contained nearly the exact same thing I'd written!

So instead of redundant information, I merely request: Form, could you include that Therian comes along, specifically intending to find a tavern?

Great minds think alike, I guess. 'tis an easy enough amendment, and I shall do it momentarily.

...and I'll put off posting again until Branoromir88 has had a chance to post an interaction with Sam.

Btw, Anguirel, from your post I would deduce that Cirdacil has only just now become the financial sponsor of the King's Players. In that case, perhaps I shall amend my first post to suggest that Amdír is in the service of the Master of Revels, which until recently had been Hallas, since he has a few years-long association with the players on behalf of "the Lord" (which, I guess, is not actually one Lord, but the office of the Master of Revels).

just posted. I brought it to the point where Branor specifically tells Sam how he should have died already, of course trying to wipe his hands clean of the problem, by blaming it all on Aldarion. And was just going to ask if Form, Fea, or Dimturiel could pick up the rest.

I could probably take a brief crack at it, but I'll try to leave lots of room for Therian and Harrenon to have some fun.

Meanwhile, my edits are done. Fea should take a quick look at Post 12 and Ang should see how the Hallas/Cirdacil continuity looks in Post 5

EDIT: My new post is up. Amdír has had a stroke of genius, and Sam has delivered some wild-sounding information about Black Riders (what are they? Nothing says the Players have any reason to think them the same as beast-riding Nazgûl), Gandalf and giant eagles, and the fires of Mt. Doom. Perhaps the playwright will decide to flatter the royal guests in the audience by rewriting the script to make Samwise the Strong the true hero of the story (well... after the King)... In any case, it's back to someone else.

looks really good to me, also establishes Hallas as consistently a chiller on his estate, whereas my Lord remains a city slicker...

Probably not an estate far from the city (the Pelennor's fertile fields maybe), since the set-pieces need to be close, but handy enough.

Glad you approve.

Finally caught up with reading. Love the way it looks this far (cracked up aloud at Boro's latest post ), and will post still today. Mnemo, your handling of Sereth is absolutely fine. Also for everybody's further information - you can borrow her if needs be because I have a suspicion I will be busy and not necessarily around enough to carry her along...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Form- looks good.

Boro- yes, I'm setting up Therian as a passive-aggressive antagonist, and a bit of a sycophant.

Anybody that wants to take over that conversation, feel free.

[Thinlómien]

Fea, Therian makes me laugh. I was wondering though if it's intentional Branor is sometimes called Branor and sometimes Brandor when you're describing what's happening because that makes the reader about as confused as Therian. Meaning for example:

"I would fight gallantly!" Branor boasted.

"No doubt you would, Brandor," Sam said. "Some did. Princess Eowyn fought better'n most, and that Witch King was dead as they come!"

"Branor," Brandor corrected.

Quite intentional. I was riffing off of a few posts up when Boro had Branor call Amdir 'Amdil' and doesn't care when he's corrected. Therian called him 'Brandor' when talking to Sam just to see if Branor would pick up on it and cause a scene.
