Okay, so I guess Scyld could go to Edoras, if turning Lin in was his goal - I was under the impression that if he was 'taking Lin into his own hands' it would be to try and escape the law. But that would be a rather boring ending. And, insofar as Scyld doesn't even trust Linduial, I doubt he'd trust the law enough just to give himself up to it.
And Jenny brings up an excellent point about Osfrid and Muriel - what is going on there? Is there any way that they might try to get out with Lin and hold out for ransom as LMP suggested Scyld might do?
