Julian is certainly a blame others type, considering his reaction to Adrian’s death. Leon, I’m not so sure about it.

Yes, very much so.

I’m not really sure either. He’s somewhere in the middle honestly.

No. We still have it, though we haven’t played it for a while. We just ignore the story when we do play it.

Ah, one of those…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

he’ll go doggedly on.

I was stunned for almost a week and didn’t think clearly.

(again, different person. But trauma does weird things)

@linus-smallprint

I don’t think it would be out of character. Like Ellette said, he’d probably be too distraught and traumatized to think straight. But if he did stop for the night, he’d probably realize it wasn’t safe, and go someplace else.

@ellette-giselle

That makes sense. However again, different people would react differently.

But what about when he wakes up?

@ellette-giselle

This could be interesting to try…. but I’m not sure Julian and Leon feel like that sort of person…….. do either of them feel that way to you?

I guess both of them do seem to be confident individuals. Julian is certainly a blame others type, considering his reaction to Adrian’s death. Leon, I’m not so sure about it.

I’m just re…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oh my goodness, the tea one! 🤣🤣🤣

@raxforge

Oh my word.

Why are all your characters so messed up?!?!

(quickly hides Rory because he’s totally not messed up)

😂😝

@whalekeeper

Horse what???

What did I just see?

@hybridlore

You’re welcome! I’d love to see Everette in a bind like that, and maybe someone surprising like Cole (could be a really cool moment) is like, “hold on a sec, he got less time then the rest of us,” or something like that.

Just a thought. It could show an interesting angle on the dislike of any sort of Christian beliefs or standings.…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Nope.

I wouldn’t think so.

I think he’ll run until he drops (basiclly) and then he’ll either be so dead tired that he sleeps hard, or he’ll fight nightmares and flashbacks. I don’t think he’ll have time to think about this sort of things.

Out of experience, when you go through trauma parts of your mind just kind of turn off…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Haha. That’s funny. we’re complete opposite! I struggle with never ever ever being wrong. Ever. Things just “happen to me” and often times “the world just hates me and is out to get me.” 😂

I have never struggled with blaming myself for something, but rather blaming others when it’s my fault or when blame isn’t even supposed…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Is it bad that it was reversed?

I wounldn’t say so. It just makes this scene feel more like a moment where Joseph/Arron is struggling then Noah/David encourages or seems stronger.

Hmm…. I might possibly chuck that section altogether………..

Up to you.

Well….. I think that might be because that tends to be what happens to me when I’m…

@ellette-giselle

What if he stops for the night? (Which he will need to do. Nearland can be reached in a day on horseback from Dehn Prisson, but someone walking would have to take a break.) Do you think it would cross his mind then?

@linus-smallprint

Considering the circumstances, I don’t think the above will go through his mind. I think he’ll run there because that’s the only place he can go really, and he’s going to be having a really, really hard time. It’s going to be surprising if he thinks clearly enough to get back there without getting lost or injured. Then he gets…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Is it bad that it was reversed?

I’m not convinced by Julian telling Dian the gospel in that moment

Ugh.

I had that feeling as I was editing it.

Hmm…. I might possibly chuck that section altogether………..

So is it bad that Julian responded differently?

Well….. I think that might be because that tends to be w…[Read more]

And there may be other ways to get Alan with his friends that would work better.

I should mention that Alan acctually doesn’t even know if his friends are still there, thinking Stripe might have gotten them to move on.

@ellette-giselle @theducktator @whalekeeper

Okay, another question for all of you. I’m wondering if Alan would even return to the abandoned village. After he escapes the prison, he starts heading there since he has nowhere else to go in the moment, but then it occurs to him that the Wizards will probably look for him there. His friends are in…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Well that is exactly how you should picture him! Bravo! 👏🏻

Wow. That’s like… a first for me.

I thought about having a POV for him….. but that will start fracturing into lots of POVs and the question will be, “Why Rolf over Aelic and Roland?” and then I’ll have five POVs going.

Yup. Well, no need to go into Rolf’s head.…

@ellette-giselle @theducktator @whalekeeper

All right. Thank you for your thoughts. I might try the first draft with the henchmen, and if I don’t like them, I can pull them out later.

Acctually, the sarcastic henchmen who always wonder how they ended up with their job are some of the henchmen I like, but I don’t think that fits TNPT, so I’ll see…[Read more]
