Nuru,

OK, I get it. Spilling the beans and reconciliation comes after the lunch. Sorry about my earlier misunderstanding!

Now on to your query.

So let me just make sure I have this straight.....

It's at the luncheon that Addruran will be playing the little trick of the scroll, and when this spy is leaving Addruran will have him captured, correct? However, is it necessary for Addruran to accompany the guards and prisoner to Ecthelion, or can he stay at the house with Adrama? I was originally intending to have him speak with her and propose immediately after the luncheon was over, but I don't want this to conflict with anything you had planned.

Yes, you can play it any way you want but that is the gist of what happens. Spy sneaks out and picks up the scroll. Spy reads scroll. Spy either sneaks out or makes an excuse to leave.

Also remember, there is a real live poster playing this character so he could throw you a fastball or two. Just improvise and roll with the punches. Good luck! Just remember that Addruran's future depends on this!

In any case, you can capture the spy at the front door (unless he leaves by the window in which case you'll stop him there!)

I don't think it would be absolutely necessary for Addruran to go back immediately with the prisoner. He can send four guards ahead with the man, and promise to come later to Eckthelion. (That later scene of their meeting will not need to be played out on the thread given our shortness of time.)

Hope this helps.
