Another neverending post - just had to cut it off at the end, or I would get no sleep at all tonight.

Formy, I figured you'd be occupied over Easter, great you could find the time to post at all. As you see, I've made use of the Easterling connection (great idea!); and seeing that things aren't moving too speedily at the inn right now, I've taken us as far as Hallas' estate. I hope I've done a decent job at capturing Amdír's voice? (Part of the dialogue I gave him is a bit Mother Mary [no pun intended], speaking words of wisdom into Coldan's ear...)

Once we get to discussing Amdír's war memories, I have a question: do you still stick with the idea that Amdír met Merry while convalescing in the HoH? You mentioned it way back in the pre-game discussion, and I don't know how serious you were about it, but I think a) it would be hilarious if he'd known the truth all along, b) it's quite plausible, and c) I have an idea what I'd like to do with it (no embarrassing Amdír and nobody yelling at him for never mentioning it, I promise).

My thought is still that Amdír met Merry briefly in the Houses of Healing--"met" being a somewhat grand way of putting it, perhaps. However, since he knew him as "Master Meriadoc of King Theoden's household" I doubt he would have realised that "Mary the Elf" was supposed to be one and the same character until they met Samwise.

Thus, I agree it's quite plausible, so on the assumption that Amdír not mentioning it has to do with never putting the two together and his general quietness of character, then I'm fine with it.

I can probably have a post up for my fine carpenter tomorrow morning (my time), but in the event I don't, it will take a couple days, as Rune is visiting and school will eat me. In the event I don't post in the next 16 hours or so, feel free to go ahead without me.

Save filled. I should be set to play regularly (including daily postings) for the next two weeks. Thanks for bearing with me in the meantime.

I think Thiliel went to a room to bring Brinn the tray... gotta fix that.

Okay, I should be able to post a couple times over the next two days, so... is everyone prepared to move into the evening? Or are we there already?

Galadriel55 · 04-28-2011, 09:03 PM

TP, please tell me you forgot to put a smiley there and that you aren't really serious. We're just waking up.

the phantom · 04-28-2011, 09:09 PM

Erm... Which day are you waking up on? Have we changed days?

I'm kind of lost because I actually asked this question already a couple days ago or so but my post and others got deleted so I never got my answer.
