I appreciate the compliments I’ve received about the site, but the thanks should go to everyone at Elendor who roleplays and posts to the BBs. It’s nice to see some activity in the area.
If you see a note up here about roleplay you were involved in, and you know the log is posted on the web, please leave a comment on the appropriate message, and I’ll provide a link.

MESSAGE: ———————————————————————
Yesterday morning brought a gaggle of goggle-eyed people around the entrance to the Pony as Nell (temped by Narthalion) and her pony clogged up the pathway. Among the onlookers were Gregory, Coughing, who suggested the use of treats rather than blows to move the beast; Keldean, Hurrying, who pulled out a handful of oats to lead the creature out of the path; Lek, Laughing, who watched the whole thing delightedly; and Bobbykins, Ponying, who pooped in the path prior to leaving.
“On one point, however, the Dwarves were always “rigidly secretive… For reasons which neither Elves nor Men ever fully understood they would not reveal any personal names to people of other kin, nor later when they had acquired the arts of writing would allow them ever to be carved or written. They therefore took names by which they could be known to their allies in Mannish forms.” (PM:304) Appendix F in LotR confirms this: “Their own secret and ‘inner’ names, their true names, the Dwarves have never revealed to any one of alien race. Not even on their tombs do they inscribe them.” Hence the names Balin and Fundin, that occur in a Khuzdul context on the slab over Balin’s tomb, are not themselves Khuzdul. They are Mannish names, merely the substitute names Balin and his father Fundin used when non-dwarves were present.”

WAYMEET. On Thrimidge 28, a Sunday, 1445 S.R., in the evening, a conversation between Chrysoprase Took (played by CHALCEDONY) and BRATTO Banks was interrupted by BOLDIBAD Bolger. Boldibad was guiding his pony, Butterbell, as it pulled an empty cart. Apparantly the cart was so old, it had broken down numerous times. As he entered Waymeet, a wheel came half-way off the cart, sending Boldibad into a loud string of curses (including “tater-tossing mushroom-burning,” which sounded more humerous than rude, to Chrysoprase). Hesitant, at first, Bratto and Chrysoprase approached the older hobbit and offered Bratto’s assistance. Chrysoprase, urged by Bratto to keep her dress clean to avoid making her father angry, sat on a nearby fence to watch.
Boldibad, apparantly aware of Bratto’s lower social status, made a comment on his station, which was brushed aside by Bratto. Chrysoprase seemed to take some offense, but didn’t interject. Boldibad tossed orders around, frustrated about the situation. He had Bratto lift the corner of the wagon, always urging him to lift it higher, while he attempted to replace the wheel.
At one point, Butterbell began to nuzzle Bratto behind the ear, sending him into a fit of giggles. Boldibad thought the laughing was directed at him, but Chrysoprase approached and kept the pony away from Bratto. The job was then done, and Boldibad paid Bratto a measley 3 copper pennies, tossing him one extra with instructions to buy Chrysoprase a flower. Bratto was, nonetheless, appreciative.
Before leaving, Boldibad warned Bratto about marriage and suggested he consider joining the Eligible Bachelor Society.

MESSAGE: ———————————————————————
A fine rainy afternoon in the village of Archet was rudely interrupted the other day when the teen KELDEAN rode up on a brown mare. The teenager was there to try to speak to the ranger “Seeker” (RHIFAROTH, played by Lithuigelir), even though Seeker’s wife, MUIRGHEAL, had warned him previously to stay away. Indeed, on seeing Keldean ride up, Muirgheal warned him off once more–and then, when the boy did not leave, the woman drew knives and threatened violence! The whole event was witnessed by CORDELIA (played by Ceredir), who stood by quietly. Cordelia’s presence seemed to anger Keldean, though: The teenager couldn’t understand why Muirgheal wouldn’t let him talk to Rhifaroth, yet was friends with Cordelia, who is known to have been heavily involved in the kidnapping of Rhifaroth a year ago. Muirgheal’s threats, though, eventually made Keldean give up. And then strangely–for Keldean seemed to be angry with Cordelia–Keldean and Cordelia rode away on the teen’s horse.
Just what is going on here? RP and ask!

SUBJECT: BREE: Ghosties, ghoulies and … elections?
TO: (Best-rp)
MESSAGE: ———————————————————————
Ever since that queer trip out to the Barrow-Downs (treasure hunt or murder investigation, depending who you speak to), neither hide nor curly foot-hair has been seen of Mayor TOREBRAS Bywater. Today the nervous hobbit emerged from hiding just in time to hear BRENDEN Ferny (played by Keldean) holding forth about all the work around town needing done, and the Mayor’s disgraceful absence. Torebras seemed disinclined to answer questions about his trip, though CORDELIA helpfully let a few snippets of information fall, but one thing led to another and Brenden demanded an election. What’s more, Torebras agreed. There’s to be voting and all, right here in Bree! The current Mayor hasn’t exactly been effective – maybe it’s time we had a Big Person in charge. On the other hand, would /you/ vote for a Ferny?
So, what exactly did happen on that trip? Accounts differ depending who you speak to. Ghosts, wolves, skeletons … some folk claim the walking dead pushed the Mayor down the hill. I mean, really! Toothless old Gaffer Goosefoot has a different tale, though. Says it was one of those dirty rangers (THULION) knocked the Mayor down, then scared off a couple of youngsters. After the treasure, that fellow must have been. Never trust a Ranger, that’s what I say.
I came across this old Bree log from 2005. It doesn’t seem to be listed at elendor.net.
The log can be found here.
“Keldean and Lek get lost near the Barrow Downs while under the influence of ’special’ brownies. Luckily help is around.”
A must read! See the log at this link!
Thanks to those fine folks who’ve already visited the blog. Comments on anything of interest would be interesting to read. The posting should slow down slightly pretty soon… I’ve just been trying to get some of the Best-BB/RP posts, from Elendor, which may be important to keep around, up on the site.
