Pio, will you put this in Tevildo's post #290, quite a ways back now, to finish up that night for Athwen?

POSTED TO GAME

Folwren's post

Athwen was silent and very still for some time, even after Dorran had left her. She followed his retreating figure with her eyes until the darkness hid him and then she turned and dully looked out towards the trees. A sigh came to her lips and she dropped her eyes to the half drunk tea in her hand.

'Poor chap,' she murmured to herself. 'But at least. . .at least his sister was spared him.' She found herself on the verge of crying again. She lifted her hand and covered her eyes while at the same time tried to swallow the hard lump in her throat. 'I would that someone else had lived for me, though,' she whispered. Only the wind heard her, and that was just as well, for no one could give her that wish.

After another moment she rose and walked back towards the camp. The fire was dying down. Athwen knelt beside it, drained the rest of her tea, and then put the cup down. She glanced around herself quickly and then reached out and grasped one of the larger peices of wood earlier brought in by Sythric. With it she stirred up the old logs and then she laid it across the new flames. It would keep it going for a little while and after that, the person on watch would have to enliven it. She was going to take Dorran's advise and go to sleep.

I've gotten the group to the hill top . . . to shelter and a fire.

Great! We'll spend a few hours at the camp, waiting out the worst of the rain.

I'm going to work soon, when I return, very late tonight, I'll move the group westward. Hopefully then our guest writer will set up their post and tomorrow we can start our skirmish.

*sigh* I feel sorry for Athwen both for the rain and for the upcoming trouble. Poor thing, she's got no cloak. And the skirmish will scare her out of her head. But it ought to be fun. . .

Undómë.

I have set a save for the oldies to make a short discussion, while building the shelter. Let's see to it together. Any ideas? Now it's 3am here (WW-games...

) and I will have to go to sleep. I could write something tomorrow (after 12 hours from now). If you have any ideas or texts, PM them to me, and we can fill the save together then?

I will be unable to post for a few days, I have finals. Please feel free to use Vaenosa......But remember she is not overly fond of the strangers. I will be keeping up on what is going on and will probably post on thursday.

Arry,

I put my post where Dorran talks with Brand in the save space. Hope that works. If you think it would go better someplace else, it would be ok if you asked Child or Pio to move it.
