The Free Company Tavern & "OOC" Thread: Book V

[Valdemar]

Great work there Hawk, you caught me a bit unaweres, post up in an hour or so after a bit of retooling and rethinking, How would a man like F see a man like Syban? The never before seen legend, but also the man that failed so miserably?

Well, I just pushed the time frame even farther back . But thats the last time it will happen. I'm pretty much done now until LD moves us up en masse.

Great post, V. After a rocky start, this is starting to shape up beautifully...

With all these negotiations and political moves on the side, do you think the Captain and co are in the middle of a pending storm?

 

[Mammut]

I'm going away for a year now so I thought "heayyy, why not copie down the books and read them when you are away", smart in theory but in practice not! book V is on some 300-400 word pages and is some 1,7 mb big.
Right now I'm copying book IV, and I think I will be forced to burn it to a cd to get that with me.
Its great reading!!! thanks!! I would join you if I had the time, so dont close this down!!!!

 

[TheF]

Now that's a good plan . I could take book II with me when I go on vacation this summer .

Deo volente I will have a post up soon or in a matter of hours.

Excellent intro of oyur new character, TheF, any relation to our new scoutmaster

Oh, and is it my imagination or is your choice of style different for this one than for the welch archer? I like it a lot.

One minor q. though, could you translate the latin in the letter? Thanks

V

 

[TheF]

Thanks . I did try to switch to a different style. I wanted to be more descriptive, I also wanted to 'do' less thoughts in italics.

The Latin in the letter was a quote from the bible. I thought it was a thing that a Pope would do (it also seemed rather appropriate with all the dark side references in the OOC thread).

(From the New International Version)

The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

The word 'understood' can also be translated as 'overcome' or 'overpower'.

 

[unmerged(6528)]

Err, perhaps someone could explain to me what just happened? I think I missed a memo somewhere.

RJ

 

[TheF]

I think I did too. Emails are underway (RJ: I don't have your address).

Not to be too smartassed or anything, but perhaps you shouldn't?

LD is on the same page, I'm sure he knows whats going on, but it will sufice to say that the pope started doing his shuffle

TheF answered your mail,

V

 

[unmerged(6528)]

Well for me mostly its having two characters named Landen. Thats what got me.

you can e-mail me a journy_x9@hotmail.com TheF if you need to.

RJ

 

[TheF]

Hmm, still nothing. Try sending it to jf.dijkman@let.vu.nl.

I did receive Stroph's mail though..

 

[Valdemar]

I agree on that one, TheF and I are trying to figure that one out, hence the mail activity (or lack thereof )

So any word on our depature to the next timezone? I'm as usual getting restless and I have full day of boring meetings scheduled for tomorrow, so my writing at work will for once be scarce

V

EDIT TheF, done, I'll post it in a PM too

 

[unmerged(9046)]

Nice post, TheF. The forces of good are trying!

 

[Craig Ashley]

All,

Just taking a moment to check in. I've got mother's day duties today, but I hope to get something up later tonight. Anyway, either tonight or tommorrow I'll respond to the hooks that are waiting for me. LD, please don't advance until I've had a chance to post. Thanks.

Mammut,

Thanks for reading, and thanks for confirming what I had guessed: each one of these Books is at least novel length - a testimony to the writers who contribute.

Enjoy your year away. As for closing down, well, a year's a long time - but passes much too swiftly...


Been busy this weekend, kids, but it sounds like there's a few things on the go. I'll have to catch up, but l likely won't post until tomorrow.


Yeah Canada! Congrats to our Swedish friends for the silver. I thought that winning goal was inconclusive until I saw the last camera angle of Carter's wrap around shot. I could have taken more OT of that game, but I'm glad it didn't degenerate into a shootout.

 

[Lord Durham]

Damn, I forgot! Welcome back, Timothy! It's good to have the man who gave 'Blu Morte' his name back on board.

We can expect another veteran sometime in the near future, too, with any luck.

 

[unmerged(9046)]

All,

Landen has become Bertilucci in my earlier post. No more duplication of names. All references to Bishop Landen should now be Bishop Bertilucci.

Er, does that mean we had three Landens on the go?

TheF, is your Landen related to LLE's Landen?

I'm waiting on Craig's post before moving this on. I want to congratulate everyone with providing an excellent series of setup scenes.

I noticed I had some e-mails just before leaving for work. I'll get to them when I get home (damned time-shift )
