Alright!! And again, welcome Child! =)

First off, for the battle scene's sake, I was wondering two things. If Athwen is the one that was grabbed by the hair, Folwren and I have an understanding that Osmod will help her. If it's another girl, would you mind Osmod smacking the Easterling away? (I understand that some of you may not want your characters to be all sissy and scared and needing help).

Second, and still talking about the battle scene, I was wondering if perhaps Osmod, Raewald and Brand would go to protect the ladies first (Raewald and Brand have some interest on Mhegan) while Sythric, Fion and Dorran launch a bit of a counter-attack. Vaenosa and Eostre are a bit of a wild card in my scenario and can either choose to be with the other girls or go ahead and chop some Easterling heads.

I don't know what plans Undome has for Raewald, but if Osmod is to die I'd like him to die while defending the women... and even if he's not, that's what he would do. Plus, it's expectable that whoever is in between the women and the Easterlings will be facing the blunt of the attack and probably suffering the most casualties.

And finally on Osmod's death. I must say that I have some selfish reasons to stay in the game, appart from actually enjoying writing with you all. While there will be other chances for cooperative writing, I want to own a game after OtF is done (and possibly after a little while so I'm not jumping from one game to another) and Pio asked me to stick around this game until the end if I wanted to be able to own a new one.

I can promise you that while I'm here I'll do my best to post well and as often as necessary, but the key part is "I will do my best". There may be times when I'll be able to post well and often, there may be times when I will have time to post but not the right mindset to post well and there will be times when I'll have neither. If you don't mind that from time to time you may have to carry Osmod along a little bit with little or no help from me, I'd like to stay in the game. If you all think that Osmod may become a bit of a distraction and a burden to carry rather than a character to enjoy, he'll have a brave and honorable death. I promise no hard feelings if you think it'd be best to part ways, I can understand that.

Having said that, I await your answers with regards to the battle (and Osmod as well). I have a post cooking up but I need to see what we are doing first.
