Storms at Weathertop. Shadow IV- Discussion Thread

[Witch-king of Angmar]

Gordis, an enjoyable Gimilbeth post as usual. I didn't know you wrote the one on Celebrindol and Sulawen. Good job there too.

[Gordis]

Thanks, Angmar!

Well... beset by evil inspiration I have written a surprise post for Celebrindol and Sulawen.
I am fully aware I am treading on your territory, Val, so please forgive me. You can edit whatever you like in my post - or I can delete it entirely, if you dislike it. It was just a weird idea that begged to be written.

Oh - I LIKED it! In fact, I think one translation of 'Sulawen' might be "stormy chick"! ;D

Great couple of posts, Gordis! Enjoyed them both very much. Have a tiny grammatical nitpick - So you have come to regret your decision now, don’t you? - it should be 'haven't you?'

Sure - that is what happens when you change "regret" to "have come to regret" but forget the rest.
BTW - if you see an obvious mistake - All of you, just correct straight away, please!

Val - you have made me happy! I was worried about the second post -I was fully aware that I had to PM the thing to you for approval first- but then there will never be any surprises...

Celebrindol is public now: password made in the usual way for public characters: "Celebrindol"

So, now Ñel and Sul will be late - so we start the dinner with G, Annundil, Beleg, Hurgon and Barund. That, btw, was my second objective in delaying C and S. Now Annundil will introduce Beleg and G will start thinking.

I hope you will write about the beginning of the dinner, Val

[Valandil]

Dinner... would this be a good time for Kirael to start us off? Or would you like to begin it with Gimilbeth's arrival - maybe even do Annundil for me if you like? (I have followed my own formula for his password - which is unlike the formula for public characters)

I ask mostly because... it's the time of year for that American holiday called "Thanksgiving". My family and I will be out of town from Wednesday through Saturday.

And yes, there IS a dinner involved!

[Gordis]

If you don't mind, Val, I would prefer you to start describing the dinner - that will be a good preparation for your Thanksgiving activities ;D - as to the layout of the Hall, distribution of seats on the dais, Annundil's welcome, his introduction of Beleg (whom he will call by name this time) and maybe his excuses for S&C being late - or perhaps he will not mention their presence in the fortress at all?

Then I will post about G's shock and realisation of Annundil's relations to C,S and Beleg.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Both Kirael's placeholders have been filled. Bit of a haste job (had some unexpected heavy paperwork to do today or it would have been here sooner *looks pointedly at Rían* ;D)

Hopefully the dinner sounds mideval enough. I've done a very small attempt at research for it but it's still a bit poking around in the dark.

I've spoken only of the kitchens so the dinner hall is all yours to describe, Val.

If you want anything changed or added to the bit with Gandalf, let me know.

[Rian]

Ah, Eärniel *big smooch* I've missed you! Wonderful posts - I love the atmosphere, and the funny little lines that you come up with (like the pig lines )

I think I'll have an elf wander into the kitchens ...

Alright - I'll try. But if it's not up within about 12 hours, it's probably not going to be for a few more days - OK?
