as it turns out, I had already included terrain features south of the Quail River that are sufficient to our present purposes. So I've marked the party's present position on an earlier version of the map. I could have done this much, much earlier. Sorry for my oversight, Noble Wizards. Please don't turn me into anything ..... unnatural?

Your actions?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: Out trimming the verge when you should have been mapping?

 

[Leif]

ooc: trimming the verge? Or verging on some trim?

 

[Scott DeWar]

OOC: so we are almost equadistant 'tween twain and pembrose. trimming the verge?

 

[Leif]

ooc: Yes, approxitudely so, DeWar.

 

[Scott DeWar]

now what is trimming the verge?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

In The Fellowship of the Ring Samwise was eavesdropping on Gandalf's conversation with Frodo (when they were talking about Frodo taking the Ring to Rivendell). Gandalf hooked Samwise into the room with his staff and asked him (sarcastically) if he was 'trimming the verge,' a reference to Sam's occupation as Frodo's gardener - trimming the grass/shrubbery 'round the window area.

Samwise pleaded with Gandalf in that scene not to turn him into anything . . . unnatural. Hence my question to Leif about trimming the verge was in response to his plea to his players not to turn him into anything . . . unnatural.
