Just a reminder that Lindir's "owner" will be gone this Wednesday through Sunday, and her chance of gaining internet access during these days is very iffy. I am still running in circles trying to pack at this late hour
so won't have time to do a responding post.
As you work out this helm thing, could someone involved in the conversation "carry along" the character of Lindir as needed? I think Lindir could live with Envinyatar's suggestion....at least the helm doesn't get tossed in the mud and Lindir gets to cart it about on the isle, even though he still feels it not wholly wise to leave the object in the world of men. If Malris says no--that the helm must be destroyed, Lindir will respect the choice of his leader but with some personal regret.
I will look forward to reading how this plays out when I get back!
