Thanks for posting,
Celuien. Seems we have ourselves some suspense!

I had been thinking that Sorn would send somebody out, but I kinda like what you've written. Eodwine will of course say "no, you shan't go alone, not on my honor! I've made a vow and I intend to keep it! So I'm going with you!" And we get to have the opportunity for Garstan to ironically save Eodwine's life instead of vice versa. But what are you thinking of leading up to,
Celuien? Anybody else want to weigh in?
