Thank you, Udu.

Now the story is continuous again.

TD will decide what to reply, whether Khamul will want to teach the "rats in the trap" manners, or not.

And Viv can make her appearance and speech.

Gordis · 10-24-2005, 05:52 PM

Val, I have posted about "our" dance. If I went too far, I am ready to edit!

Lotesse · 10-24-2005, 06:28 PM

Vivvie has no intention of making a speech. In fact, she wishes not even to go home to Orrodel tonight; she senses that she'll be an unneccesary and maybe even dangerous presence there. What is she going to do - try and reason with a grip of freaked out Nazgul? No thanks. If she goes there, she'll just complicate things, and possibly endanger herself. So, Viv will spend this evening out riding and kicking it with Lomi, maybe she'll even pop into one of the nicer taverns and meet some locals or something. Maybe she and Laslech can run into the wolves, and then she can be introduced to the local wolf pack - that'll come in handy later on, surely. Nazgul really don't need to sleep, I guess. Who knows what she'll do. Right now, I really don't feel like posting anything at all for a while; it tossed me up dumping my post yesterday, after all the time & thought I put into it and no one caring for it, so my heart's not really into interacting for the time being.

Gordis · 10-24-2005, 07:16 PM

Viv's plans are entirely up to you, Lotesse.

NOBODY asked you to dump your entire post, only the last paragraph of it.

I am sorry that you are upset. If you will not be posting for a while, we shall miss you very much.

No, no... if you were a guy, you'd be VERY smoooooth!

I was takin' notes!

Oh - I thought you had left Rian in the garden - so I figured Earniel would see her go there and follow - but really, I should leave that to you two, since you're the ones most involved.

But it allowed me to have her break off in mid-dance, thus adding to the bit of angst we have going here!

***RÃan*** · 10-24-2005, 10:44 PM

oh, OK - that's fine - I just didn't know what you had in mind for Earniel and what she was looking at - if it was Rian or not - and if you two had already worked out what she saw.

Angst is good!

I hope the High King is not growing addicted to the infamous Potion Number Nine? If he is, better marry someone who knows how to prepare it!

Earniel, very interesting post. Really, how could poor Aiwendis know that the elves will come sniffing around her fountain?

TD, Are you there? For good or for ill, the latest developments left Khamul facing the three lesser nazgul swords in hands. Now you have your RATS in the TRAP. Please, post if you are able!

Alas, she could not. But when you have a Sea-Elf entering your university, who is also a member of the House of Fountains from Gondolin, be prepared to have your fountains minutely inspected!

Gordis · 10-25-2005, 11:11 AM

What an awesome post, Serenoli! I am most intrigued.

"Is it one of my brethern?" askes Aiwendis
"Is it another one of my worthless minions? askes the Morgul Lord

We HOPE it is!

The last sane person · 10-25-2005, 12:25 PM

Woot, another Nazgul! There ought to be more...

Gordis · 10-25-2005, 12:57 PM

Serenoli, if it is indeed another nazgul, he has two options:

1. To come into the Reception Hall, but that could be awkward (unless you wish to - if so, I have no objections).

2. Or get into the Palace garden and wait for the Chancellor there, observing the palace.

Note that the tipsy Jas has given the stranger wrong directions: if he turns left at the next corner, he will see the palace on his right, indeed, but it will be on the other side of the wall, and there is no gate on this side. The new nazgul may climb the wall, of course (possibly frightening Earniel and Rian in the process), ot return to the main street, walk around the Reception Hall and go through the little gate at the right of the Reception.

If he is in the garden, he will meet the Chancellor on his way to the Palace. Or, if he prefers to be more discreet, he may wait longer, the Chancellor and Aiwendis will be passing through again, going to Orrodel

All is up to you!

And at least, please, tell us, WHO is it?

Gordis · 10-25-2005, 01:14 PM

Hi, ALL

The one in charge of maps wishes to inform all the players that another, more detailed, MAP of the central part of Tharbad got made.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...s/TharbCen.jpg

Now all the buildings of the Uni are assigned; more detailed info on different character's dwelling places is provided.

Note the Governor's Palace on Menetar street and Ray's house not far from it (west of the map).
Please, Shah, have a look if you like the location: you have a nice view on the canal. MM's, if you may need them, are not far.

The stables are close as well, which should be more important for you.

Serenoli, Where does Jas live? Near Bumble, in the Palace, or somewhere in his Wine department?

Earniel, please, where do you want your house?

Has anyone or anything been forgotten???

The Nameless Cartographer

Lady Marion Magdalena · 10-25-2005, 01:29 PM

Thank you oh Nameless Cartographer!

The last sane person · 10-25-2005, 01:42 PM

Hmm....I wonder, are there any parks in Tharbad? Yay! My house was added! Thank you oh great one!

Gordis · 10-25-2005, 02:00 PM

Glad you liked the map.

Parks: there is one on the Amrun Hill around the Art Museum, East side of the map. You see but a part of it.

When the Central Tharbad is settled and agreed upon, The Nameless Cartographer will make changes in the main big map.

Following the High King's lead, I also added the Chancellor's and Aiwendis's height in the INFO thread. What a team of basketball players!

Ah, I didn't want to bother you with it before because you keep having to update the map and it really isn't that important. But one of the little green squares on the other side of the canal from Ray's house will do nicely. Sea Elf + water = squeee!

***RÃan*** · 10-25-2005, 03:25 PM

thanks for doing those maps, Gor, but they scare me! I'm geographically challenged

Someone set me right if I make a wrong turn, or take an hour to walk to a place that should only take 5 minutes

Re my most recent post (#370) : Thanks to EÃ¤rniel for the expression "not the sharpest tool in the shed"

I loved it when you used it in your PM! And the quoted reference about the eyes is from HoME 10, Morgoth's Ring, Laws and Customs among the Eldar.

***RÃan*** · 10-25-2005, 03:29 PM

OK, I looked at the map, and I already see a problem with my posts - I always thought of Orrodel as a little outside of town - I had Rian walking through the countryside to get there, but it looks like it's just down the street from the Uni. And I had her looking at trees outside the kitchen window at Orrodel - I imagined it as a country estate with grounds. Do I need to go and fix things? Or can Orrodel still have trees - what's the scale?
