Edit - just saw your new pic - I really like those colors - very interesting, warm, earthy tones. I like the blouse esp.

There should be heavy, dark, black draperies over every last window, and shutters when appropriate. Have to keep out those prying eyes someway. Who knows what dark deeds go on in the Orrodel Mansion? |

Since when was heavy fog specified? Ah well, she'll still see foggy outlines of anyone moving around down below, and her hearing is excellent. I'm certainly not aiming to have her witness anything that'd be a dead giveaway. Bit early for that.
Edit: Found the reference to fog, still, doesn't sound like it's heavy enough to prevent an elf seeing across a street. Seeing through curtains is unfortunately not one of her abilities though... Unless said curtains get ripped down in the fight.

All I have posted about Khamul and Melwen. I am afraid I may have gone too far in developing Khamul's character, so TD! , I am ready to edit the post if you ask.
However, I wanted to use my very own Melwen myself, before the Chancellor comes and does her in. Rian, I beg you, post about Arastud's reaction! He is your own guy, after all! What he does is entirely up to you! |

Lotesse (other Nazgul, please note) - OK, the Nazgul being able to not alarm horses in general about themselves is one thing, but NO WAY would they be able to go near one of the Mearas without causing GREAT unrest - and I think NEVER would a Meara let a Nazgul ride them. Do the rest of you agree? You Nazgul are definitely getting sloppy... you won't remain secret for long... not long at all!

Rian - it was also interesting to learn that Tyaron is known as a 'swordsman'! What can you tell us about that?

Udu, I edited my post, the fog has been dealt with.

"A breeze had sprung up and the previously heavy fog had dissapated to become a fine, refreshing mist." But you speak of the time around 1AM: "At least an hour had passed since she had left the reception and it had been midnight then." But here is the quote from my post #397 "Quietly they slipped into the garden. In the Shadow World, the fog was moving in white waves made radiant by moonlight." You argued yourself, that the Morgul Lord and Aiwendis could not set off to Orrodel BEFORE 1AM. So, as my post #397 precedes yours #404, the fog at 1AM still existed. But, of course, you may make it thinner or more likely there was thick fog near the ground and only mist at the top of the wall. Actually I liked your post, LMM, but don't hope to see too much.

CS,, I liked the way you disposed of the maid. I sort of hoped for more bloodshed, but it can always come later...

I have spent ages arguing with one Forkbeard in this thread here: Nazgul horses, that ALL THE NAZGUL HORSES WERE MEARAS. There is plenty of evidence for that. I will not repeat it again here, as I admit since that argument, this question makes me unnecessary edgy. Last edited by Gordis : 10-30-2005 at 12:55 PM. |

Just because the fog is still thick in the garden doesn't mean that it can't have thinned out on the street. Fog is weird like that; at home in Seattle we'll get foggy days where the density of the fog changes from being so thick you can't see more than a yard or two in front to being almost nonexistent in the space of a city block.
And no, I wasn't planning to have her see too much, you're right that she couldn't have seen the stables from where she is. The main door on the other hand... As for the horses... it is odd that a Meara who hasn't been specifically conditioned to accept a nazgul rider would be that calm around one.

And, considering that the University is on the hill + the height of the walls, I believe it was POSSIBLE for Mahtaliel to see the far end of the court and the stables. (And to spot Melwen walking alone and drunk to the stableboys's room). The main bedroom must face the street, as Khamul saw the light there when approaching the house. But the curtains are drawn, I believe. Quote:
In this RPG the nazgul have their rings, can turn visible, and are able to appear normal to EVERYONE, including elves and animals, but excluding maiar, Calaquendi elves and Ring-wielders. Rian, Will you, please, continue Arastud's story? Serenoli, I am not at all sure that I understood Tolvadok right. I am eager to change my post and make Aiwendis like him , if I was wrong about him.

When I put Viv in the park, staring at the clear, star-filled night sky, I had no idea there was supposaed to be fog. I guess it's been SO LONG since the evening began, that I plumb forgot about the fog that Butterbeer and everyone made. (watch out, here comes Eeyore!) NOT that anyone cares...
Udu - there weren't any drapes pulled either in the boudoir or in Viv's room. The windows were open, no?

The park is on the high hill, near the Art Museum. So there might have been NO FOG!

Why would the window be OPEN? Look, Lilly may be a fool, but she sure as hell will pull the drapes before making sorcery and before making love with a guy known by everyone in Tharbad as her own brother! |

Because the boudoir is like 3 stories up, and outside the yard is full of cedar trees - and I guess I was just remembering how I had Lomi fly in the open window when Viv came by before - so, never mind. My bad. BTW Crazy Squirrel - I loved your post today!! I like how Khamul puts lust into her head, that was a nice touch.
Gordis, Loved yours, too! Who am I forgetting... anyway, good stuff efveryone! Rian, you DO know yopu can see Viv walking her horse through the park on her way home. So can Aiwendis, Ilmenzor, Tolvadek, Mahtaliel - Viv is clearly visible, and right in the park on her way home. Just so everyone is aware.

Lotesse, the Nazgul have enough problems without creating a scandal that might rival that of Turin and Nienor. Quote:

And if many elves start to visit Rian, I am afraid she will be fired. As CS I will love to have you in Orrodel, but as Lilly, I am afraid it becomes too risky. Your decision is up to you. |
