So I was writng out a bit of character development stuff this morning and I looked at it and realized that Mahtaliel's character is being shaped by my current subconcious obsession with Les Miserables. Seriously, she's on the verge of turning into a female Valjean, the question is whether I should let her go that direction.
Thoughts?

Udukhaturz- I've been reading your last post, and I noticed you refer to Jas Fernik as a Dwarf. Actually, I did discuss the possibility of me playing a dwarf with Valandil, but later I changed my mind cos I can't imagine a dwarf specialising in wine-appreciation!! So, to clear up the confusion he's a man, so won't you plz edit your post??

Hehehehe...probably long term relationship with our nazgul femme fatals probably will end in disaster or death... But hey, you only live once (unless you are a certain elf from gondolin)...might as well put some spice in it!

Rian Yes, creepy. My nazgullian soul got tired of all this sweetness. It is time for a kill!

I wonder who will find Melwen first.

Khamul? - he will finish what Penny started.

Udu? Viv? Aiwendis? - what will they do - no idea!

The Chancellor... something tells me he will not bring her to the King for healing.

Rian? - a portion of athelas tea and the "hands of the King" may save her.
So you see, you are the poor soul's only hope!

Nazgul are heading in this direction also. Eh, Gordie?

TDDon't forget to feel pain AGAIN around 10PM, two and a half hours into the Reception. A pain as if you were BURNING!

GW, I hope your hand heals. We miss you!!!

WO. Jean Valjean? Has Mahtaltiel spent an Age in jail

Seriously, this righteous criminal type makes me laugh, but perhaps it is just me.

No problem, Shah. Vivvie has a Morgul blade. Ray will become a wraith and they will live happily ever after!

Well she has got the former Kinslayer thing going on. It's more in terms of her lifestyle. It was just one of those weird moments where the realization of what you're being influenced by hits, you know?

Didn't Penny say that it would no longer effect Khamûl?

Penny said that DROWNING Khamul in wine was not likely to harm him.

BUT PENNY HAS THROWN THE FIGURE ON THE BURNING COALS!

So you should feel pain of the BURN and then very quickly, COMPLETE RELIEF - when the figure melts and the paper burns.


Sorry, Khamul.

I imagine you will be quite MAD when you return home!

ahhh, the dangers of alcohol!

Luckily all the watch are drunk or elsewhere ... so i forsee no problems on that score!

How will this effect UDU? will he back his mind into a corner concerned that Khamul will think it him? ... vehry- inter-resting!

and the captain?

So, Khamul may start a new dance craze at 10pm? the burning balleric, they may call it!

How will the other nazgul react to these drunken attacks and a murder in old tharbad town?

actually i think i'll edit in that it is heavily foggy!

Thanks CS for adding some spice to the proceedings .... liked it!

best BB

I liked your post BB! Thank you for the fog on this night. We shall need it.


Udu, I hope I have not messed up with your character. If you don't like Udu's words, I am happy to edit!

Where is our Lotesse?

Good thing we've finally got onto the dancing.. the pie-throwing is next, isn't it? I'm looking forward to it as much as Bumble. Although I do feel rather sorry for the chef

worked well though!

If you need any serious advice on wines PM lotesse .. or ask her here, whatever you two prefer!


remember though Serenoli:

Jas (the character) is indeed well versed in wines!



regarding the pie tradition, any word Gor and Willow if the chef will be replaced this year by the steward ?

GOR: liked the tears in Aiwendis's eyes at losing her "mother" or position as such, i.e. wife to Ilmenzor ... Estelmo came across very well too.

Thank you, Aiwendis was really attached to her mother!
As for Estelmo, Val really neglects his characters, Oreturion and Estelmo!

Val, Post something about Oreturion, please!

No, the Chief will not be replaced by the steward. If you noticed, Val hid the jewel in his mouth, so neither the Chancellor, nor Aiwendis have any idea of his transgression. I hope, the steward keeps his mouth shut, unless.... well better keep it shut.

Edit:
BB, would the constable BB like to investigate a murder/person disappearance case?

What do you guys want to do? Dead body, or revive-able body?

And I don't know if Rian is even welcome back at Orrodel - what do you guys at Orrodel want to do? (Lotesse, where are you?)

That's fine with me. Kind of like Maedhros' repentance after Fingon rescued him.
