A cautious Wren awaits Tevildo's telling of the plan . . .

Let's start moving to the end of this game, please.
Nerindel - please get your SAVE in post #144 filled. lmp - perhaps you and Nerindel can discuss what needs to be done to bring Arato/Wenda's/the Creature's part of the game to some conclusion. Child, Tevildo, Envin, Rose, Huan, Arry - can you move your wolf attack along? Undómë - what do you want to do with Goody? ~*~ Pio

Old Goody's part in this should be done in about 1 or 2 more posts beyond the SAVE I put up.

Nerindel has not been around much. Her last activity anywhere was May 3.
This makes it difficult to do much wrapping up of anything. I'll PM her and see what I can find out. |

Tevildo and Wren - I've put up a general description of what the songbirds and cats are doing. If there are any problems with this, let me know.
I've also put up a save for the wolves that I hope to get at tomorrow. As the battle begins, please feel free to post your own individual battles with the wolves in addition to the intermittant descriptions I put up.

The little birds have attacked . . . and though a number have fallen, they press on in their attack against the mangy beasts!

2 of the wolves now lie dead - score 1 each for the brown bear and White Paw with his two brothers.

We little folk have the wolves in some disarray . . .
Wolfy, wolfy, burning bright In the inn yard late that night, What brave Halfling's skillful eye Assaults thy fearful symmetry? Against what darkling deeps and skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? What little wings dared to aspire To stop you cold with ash and fire?

Well, the two tall men have been posed a question. I'll be interested to see what your response is, Envinyatar.

Shall I wrap up the battle with the wolves or would you be able to do it?

I've put up a SAVE for a final post for the Inn battle. I'll probably move time forward a little too and have my two characters leave. Is this OK with you?

I foresee one wrap up post regarding the Wenda part of this story while it is at Fir Hill. Then I see another epilogue type post with Wenda back at the Green Man, dealing with her loss. I hope we can have a bit of a slow end like we had a slow beginning, with the highly exciting plot sandwiched between words of wisdom and joy and whatever else....

My bad....
I have finally filled in this save (#157), and placed another one at the end of the string for comments by the poor ravaged wolves.

My last SAVE is filled.
The wolves, or what remains of them, have been chased far away from the inn. Morinehtar and Romestamo, the two tall men, have left The Green Man. - E -

My save is filled. The wolves have decided to head east. They are most distressed that the two-leggeds cheated by enlisting the aid of birds and beasts.

I guess my next post will be on the new Day, with Wenda and company returning to the Green Man. I can wait as long as you folks need me to before that happens.

Tevildo the Cat is ready to move forward. Actually, the cat in the game is sound asleep and won't wake up till the next morning, so until you move I can't really post again for him!

I put a SAVE up on the RPG thread. It will be just a time turner.
Night has passed; the new day dawns - that way any creature/person who wishes to be up and about in the morning can go ahead and post.

Wenda and friends will return to the Green Man about mid-morning, I'm thinking. Do you think it appropriate for a certain Ent to accompany them all the way back? I'd love to write it, but only if you folks think it fits.

Old Greenbeard would be most intrigued with Old Goody, I think. Okay, I'll write it. She can decide if he qualifies as a "Green Man".

How about we move this game on to it's ending now. I'd like to see it wrapped up by the end of this month.

Tevildo has made the momentous decision to stay at the Inn for a space of time to enjoy the bowls of milk and assorted snacks as well as to tease the birds in the neighborhood. He is unlikely to post again in this game, as he is snoozing the day away in recuperating from his illness.
I have enjoyed writing with everyone, and hope I will have another chance to see you again.

I erased my save since it did not seem appropriate to have the animals trooping off in the midst of Goody's demise. I've placed my last post in box #174, appended to Tevildo's. The animals have departed.
Many thanks everyone for a fine story! And especially to Littlemanpoet....
