@Wamba_the_Fool

I like the three-eyed fish one, but I think I could probably actually work with the strangely-behaving bird. Although I think Sighard will be coming to get current news from Edoras as well, since he likes to stay holed up at the Aldburg.

@Aodh Hammerhelm

@Eléowyn taking advantage of your story to be able to set up an entrance for one of my secondary characters. Don't worry about dropping clues that lead him to find a tragic scene along the river. He's got the fortitude to take it.

Eléowyn · Sun Sep 13, 2020 11:55 pm

@Taethowen The Hammerhelm strikes again!

I’m happy to give a means for you to introduce your new character! I’ll put something in for him in my next Life post.

Taethowen · Mon Sep 14, 2020 12:06 am

@Eléowyn

Calimir · Mon Sep 14, 2020 4:20 pm

@Taethowen - thank you

Thalionwen Hunigfolm · Mon Sep 14, 2020 7:37 pm

Hey all! Sorry for vanishing from the Infirmary and Throne Room without warning this week--we had our first official week of homeschool which came right on the tail end of me finishing another work deadline, so my brain was toast, and then over the weekend the girls and I all caught??? The stomach flu??? From I have literally no idea where??? I'll be trying to do catch up over the next couple days though, with the Infirmary as my priority

Allacan ob Burzum · Mon Sep 14, 2020 8:12 pm

And in other news... I survived my first day back at work after over 5 months of being Furloughed despite all my new health issues.

Popping back in here to spend the remainder of my spoons on posts, and after reading up on the comments here I think I will refrain from reading up on the Beda-sibling-saga until I am feeling better braced for high drama and peril.

@Thalionwen Hunigfolm Hope you are feeling better now, stomach flu is the worst!

Dimcairien Luiniel · Mon Sep 14, 2020 8:34 pm

@Thalionwen Hunigfolm Oh dear! I hope you're feeling better.

Aodh Hammerhelm · Mon Sep 14, 2020 10:00 pm

@Thalionwen Hunigfolm Hope everyone is on the mend soon!

@Allacan ob Burzum
Welcome back. It must be weird being back at work after the long break. Yes, stay away from the Beda story, unless you're a masochist

Moriel · Tue Sep 15, 2020 9:17 am

Come one, come all, to the Hall of Judgement in Carn Dûm where murder has taken place, and more is to come if you don't help find the killer. This game + light RP is based on the party game "mafia" (also known as werewolf, assassin, or witch hunt), adjusted for the forum format. All are welcome, though non-minions better watch their step!

Elarith · Tue Sep 15, 2020 9:05 pm

@Thalionwen Hunigfolm Ick, stomach flu is grim - had it right before a holiday, gave it to 4/6 of us including the 10 month old

Hope you're all better.

@Allacan ob Burzum You managed more than me, I went back yesterday and was wiped out on the evening! Blaming having to read all the risk assessments. And delete 1300 mostly irrelevant emails. Hope the rest of the week is easier for you.

Lail · Tue Sep 15, 2020 11:28 pm

@Thalionwen Hunigfolm - yuck feel better soon.

@Allacan ob Burzum - I am amazed you were able to write anything after day 1 - well done!

Came here to say: Go Team Sighard/Wamba!
and I am loving your marketplace spider, @Mama's Murder Muffin
and @Gwai - I have not forgotten the tea date! but those house repairs took on a life of their own though I'm not sure Lailyn minds much.

Amadhrill · Fri Sep 18, 2020 7:12 pm

Sorry for keeping you waiting, @Aodh Hammerhelm and @Allacan ob Burzum, I'll try to get the posts up during the weekend, but can't promise anything.

Allacan ob Burzum · Fri Sep 18, 2020 7:21 pm

@Amadhrill Am I waiting somewhere? Do you mean the Eallniwe Inn? If so, I'm not waiting, I'm relaxing in the lovely contented space of having one less thread I need to reply to and which remains for now 'up to date', so do not feel guilty for giving me less to rush and keep up with, a slower pace is much more preferential for me personally right now (cannot speak for anyone else, of course)

Aodh Hammerhelm · Fri Sep 18, 2020 7:54 pm

@Amadhrill

That's quite alright, freond-min. Ringbold needs a good rest (that's what the healer ordered!

) Ælfred is very much enjoying being off the road, in a welcoming home.

Allacan ob Burzum · Fri Sep 25, 2020 8:32 pm

@anyone who wants to join me in some silliness - Arod has released a number of random horses from the hitching post in the Riddermarket. Feel free to join me in some equine silliness; just pick a horse and join the fun!

PS Allacan Edit I asked an admin to pin this thread because I thought that was the general consensus reached in the last one. I hope no-one minds, I was just struggling to find the useful OOC thread with the handy links on my phone.

Taethowen · Mon Sep 28, 2020 2:08 am

@Eléowyn, @Aodh Hammerhelm, @Wamba_the_Fool - I'll do my best to get a Sighard post up tomorrow. This weekend was a doozy, sorry!

@Calimir sorry for Sighard's blunt rudeness. He's a bit of a jerk, I'll be honest. He's got some baggage that will hopefully get worked through at some point.

Aodh Hammerhelm · Mon Sep 28, 2020 2:14 am

@Taethowen
No troubles, I'm having a hectic weekend of work. I'll try to get the tracker, Bambu to the spot where he found the baby tomorrow.

Winddancer · Mon Sep 28, 2020 6:44 am

@Eléowyn @Thalionwen Hunigfolm I promise I am not ignoring the Infirmary! But it is set the night after the fires and Sigrid is away then and blissfully unaware of what is going on. Sorry, I didnt set the timelines!

Eléowyn · Mon Sep 28, 2020 12:49 pm

@Winddancer Gotcha. Thanks.

Also, I forgot to tag @Bereth in that post. She was helping out with Beda earlier. Maybe she would like to deal with a colicky baby.

Winddancer · Mon Sep 28, 2020 1:32 pm

I guess I can npc Thali's npc so you guys arent left alone, unless Thali pops in to save the day. Hate not being able to help! Can I clone myself..

Calimir · Mon Sep 28, 2020 3:01 pm

Hi @Taethowen , that's okay, Cal' is also young, a teenager, so he's all over the he place and over enthusiastic

Amadhrill · Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:22 pm

Sorry for not being as active as I want on the threads, but RL... and tomorrow I am off for a little vacay, might have both more and less chances of writing from the cell, don't know. Or I might just prioritize rereading the Book again (haven't read it for at least a decade, now I am regretting not reading it more often.)

Eléowyn · Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:48 pm

@Winddancer If you learn how to clone yourself, please pass along instructions! Your plan sounds good, but even if neither you nor Taethowen can make it in there to deal with things, Cal and I can just continue as if some unnamed assistant has come along to help. Fair warning: wee little Léo will need to be left behind in the capable hands of ... whoever ... as Beda has far too much to deal with at the moment, such as getting her mother buried, finding her missing siblings, and getting some medicine back to the Wildman on the Hill who found Léo. So good luck to whoever--that goat's milk didn't sit too well on the baby's tummy and he's very cranky.

Taethowen · Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:59 pm

@Eléowyn I do believe you mean Thalionwen for the infirmary.

Maybe if she doesn't get here quickly, though, @Allacan ob Burzum can step in with her old mother mute character?

Eldrith · Mon Sep 28, 2020 8:37 pm

I think... I am back. This illness really kicked my butt. Still not fully over it but at least to the level where I can do more than work and sleep. As a measure of how tired I've been anything that wasn't work or editing had to wait, including plaza, nanowrimo preparations and even embroidery. (have had a bunny in the frame for like three weeks now). But I THINK I have it beat or at least am on the winning side.
I will spend today reading up on what I missed and tomorrow go back to posting!!

Eléowyn · Mon Sep 28, 2020 9:11 pm

@Taethowen

yep, I tagged Thali earlier but then mentioned you in my follow up. I can tell you apart, despite evidence to the contrary.

Allacan ob Burzum · Mon Sep 28, 2020 9:23 pm

@Eléowyn If no-one makes it to you by the time I get some time to myself to post, Old Mother Mute will happily take temporary custody of the wee one; she’s seen plenty of colicky babies in her time and will enjoy being useful!

@Eldrith Glad you are feeling better freond min. Take it easy and look forward to seeing your posts again.

Lail · Tue Sep 29, 2020 3:46 am

@Eldrith - so glad to hear you're feeling better and hope it keeps up! *hugs*

@Amadhrill - no worries!

I want you to know I loved Tord's "Someone is trying to steal my horse!" What a great reaction. And don't worry about getting to the Dragon Room stuff. I can wrap-up if you don't want to come back to it but also more than happy to continue of course!

I am sad to say I will probably be a bit slower from now on, too. October is a looming explosion of deadlines I'm currently trying to wrap my head around.

Amadhrill · Tue Sep 29, 2020 5:35 am

Shoot! I knew there wa somewhere Else I wanted to post! @Lail I was thinking we might move it to the cavalry courtyard? Got a three hour train ride by myself today, so will get it done then!

Aodh Hammerhelm · Tue Sep 29, 2020 10:19 am

@Amadhrill
I'll work on an Ælfred & Ringbold post today, one that allows you to enjoy your vac and not worry about phone posting! Enjoy the hol!

Drifa · Tue Sep 29, 2020 3:10 pm

Greetings good Riders of Rohan! I had these banners in an old Regions folder. I think there was a contest at one point. You may use them or not, of course. I just thought it was a shame to delete them before I shared them. Thanks! *bows low*

Aodh Hammerhelm · Tue Sep 29, 2020 11:59 pm

@Eldrith , welcome back, we've missed you. Hope you're over the worst of the lurgy.

@drifa - good job!

Lail · Wed Sep 30, 2020 12:27 am

@Amadhrill I'm super impressed by anyone who can manage to post on mobile! As far as the Cav Courtyard, I'm happy to but there is a rule in the OP that its for "Cavalry trainees and members only" so I am unsure (maybe one of our lovely Marshals @Taethowen @Shivased @Gwai could chime in and let us know). also hope you enjoy the vacay!

@drifa - Wow those are amazing!

Taethowen · Wed Sep 30, 2020 12:36 am

@Lail Is this about the honey delivery? If so, since you're 'there' on official Cav business and will be escorted by one of the hælends, I don't think it'll be an issue.

Shivased · Wed Sep 30, 2020 1:35 am

Welcome back @Eldrith! We've missed you!
@drifa wow, those are amazing!
@Lail what Taeth said. As long as it is official Cavalry business, feel free to post in the Courtyard.

Allacan ob Burzum · Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:00 pm

Beautiful enough to add as a banner to our lovely forum, do we think? Anyone?

@Allacan ob Burzum

Aye-so! I'll kick the voting off with my choice... They're all great, but I'm quite partial to the THIRD PIC.

Taethowen · Wed Sep 30, 2020 9:03 pm

I like the first pic best myself. The other two are a but busy with all the different words and shapes overlapping and my eyes twitch a little (but that could also be the migraine I'm currently fighting.)

Dimcairien Luiniel · Wed Sep 30, 2020 9:08 pm

I'm partial to the first one as well. The other two are nice (and I really like the silhouette feel), but the overlap of the "Welcome to the Riddermark" with the locations on the map is a bit too much.

Gwai · Wed Sep 30, 2020 10:10 pm

Those are such great banners!! I prefer the first one also, but they’re all amazing!

Wamba_the_Fool · Wed Sep 30, 2020 11:38 pm

I'm still of the vote for NO BANNER but don't mind throwing one in the OP of this (already stickied, mind you) thread. (And I have.)

"Rohan has no banner. Rohan needs no banner."

Lail · Thu Oct 01, 2020 2:07 am

@Taethowen yes for the honey delivery! (ooh but now I know an "in" to infiltrate the Cavalry...

) Thank you and @Shivased for the ok.

@Amadhrill looks like I have the all clear to post in the Courtyard at least under supervision.

While I love the banners I I'm with @Wamba_the_Fool I like that Rohan doesn't have a banner. Less scrolling for me to get the actual content but my opinion maybe shouldn't count for much as faux-Rider.
