Jepordy...jepordy...well, there isn't a whole lot in the Lost Tales of Middle-Earth since there's a 'wizard's insticnt's' always in there from Lila. But then again, there are some times when Lila's foolish little hobbit side comes in to play and she dosen't mind herself or anything for just that one second where all the trouble comes tumbling in...
And I agree, having all the times of peril caused by one stupid person cane be quite annyoing indeed. Sometimes I make the 'leader' make a bad choice (just for once((lol!))...) and everyone else falls into the bad situation, or jepordy. Then everyone gets mad at the one who made the decision and then they can't stop bickering enough to try and get themselves out of the thicket! Sounds quite real to me.
And in 'The Light of War' (my novel) there are many times of jepordy, whether its a plot gone wrong, a mistake, or just not a good enough hiding spot when there are ten huge black knights are chasing you, it all turns out into a bad situatin for our holy knight, Locke. And after they make him sacrifice his elf friend to the Devil, boy are they in trouble...
*Ahem* anyway, anyone else have something to contribute on realistic jepordy in our fantasy sories/novels?
