Well, I like Tol, so I am glad he can go cozy up with his mortal sweetheart away from the cold. And be spared the torture of Lilly, since he seemed somewhat averse to it.

Back to you, Serenoli. I did believe you had a story to tell to Eärniel and maybe she can *gasp* get Jas to see this isn't a dream! Although I doubt it, he seems rather set in his assesment of the whole situation.
Gordis, I didn't use your suggestion about the servant because I couldn't fit it in with what I had already prepared. I would find it unusual that if the servants knew that Jas was in the fountain/garden last night, they would have simply left him there overnight. Eärniel doesn't know Jas was out all night, although she may suspect it to be so. But if she knew, it would be unlikely for her to mention it to a servant, probably not wanting to tarnish Jas' reputation. However Serenoli can include it if she chooses. But I think Eärniel will definitely be making the connection with the fountain later on, when she has more time to think about it.

thanks, Gor Yay, Earniel!!!!! More posts with the sea-elf!!!!! w00t w00t! *throws frog-shaped confetti* EDIT - ok, Gor, could you please help me out - I'm tired from doctor appts and need someone to spell this out for me - in your post, you say the silver guy was "Telemmaitë", right? Isn't the silver guy the ML? Then you say that Sauron wants Telemmaitë to get a ring, as well as the silver guy's great-grandson, or something like that. If Telemmaitë is the ML, doesn't he already have a ring? Could you please explain? And who is the great-grandson (so I don't have to look it up in the genealogies) Help, please

TD, CS, and Serenoli, I left an opening in my post for any of you to join in. Wasn't sure what happened to Tolvadok so I left him out.

Aiwendis was betrothed to Tar-Telemmaite in her mortal youth. It was after the Morgul Lord became a wraith and left the island. In Barad-Dur she saw the Morgul-Lord (the silver King) and mistook him for her betrothed, Telemmaite. It is reasonable to suppose that the great-granddad and his great-grandson looked alike. Sauron was likely not delivering all the nine rings at one time, but used them throughout the years. The Eight ring, that was meant for Telemmaite but got Aiwendis instead, was used much later than the First one, that got Tar-Ciryatan. The problem was that Sauron ensnared the King Ciryatan himself, but failed to get Numenor's allegiance. So he wanted to get the next king giving a ring to his fiancée Aiwendis, who was lured to the Middle-Earth. It is implied, that the last, Ninth, ring was sent to Telemmaite in a second attempt to get him, along with the whole Numenor, this time. It was this last ring, that Viv stole from Telemmaite's safe, before it had the time to turn him into a wraith. It must have happened around SA 2500. I hope it helps, Rian See also the info thread, it is updated and tells the story. Here is the quote from "The Line of Elros" in UT: Quote:

thanks, Gor, that definitely helps - I didn't get the mistaking the ML for the fiancé part - I thought she had always loved the ML.

Great history info Gordy! Should I put that in the formal info thread?

Gordis, that was a very well-written, excellent post there. I particularly enjoyed the feel of it, the look of the pillars, and the hall, and the sense of her exhaustion, and the two "men" lording it over her, so to speak. All of it; it was a very well written post. Additionally, I love all the posts in our RPG which contain good background details and story history. Thanks! Great stuff, as per usual!

It seems all of you wanted Tol to go with Yerri and have fun! Yes, it was tempting, but the main reason he didn't go, (despite all the noble 'orders, and can't-leave-Lily' reasons given in the post) is that he couldn't face having to explain to the others who Yerri is. He was hoping to pass her off as a chance acquiantance, sadly Yerri made sure they knew her exact status of 'girlfriend'!! Anyways, its upto Udu and TD now.
Earniel, great post. Don't worry, Jas will be ready with a story very soon, just let him get his hands on some food first. I'm afraid there's no place for an old servant now, but thats ok...

Great posts all. CS, I left an opening for you in my last post. Time for things to get interesting I think.

TD, I think you perhaps forgot a word in your third-to-last line - do you mean from BEHIND Khamul? It doesn't make sense the way it stands. Or perhaps you mean Lilly, not Khamul? Anyway, check it out
And my new post references the line in your sig - check it out! I love that line you have there, and that whole scene - that's why I wanted to work it into a post.

Oh yeah, thanks Rian. Loved the Nirnaeth reference. I tried to get more of that scene into my sig, but I couldn't because of the limit.
