I'm afraid Osfrid's much too cowardly to hold anybody for ransom. He's more suited to petty crimes like theft or robbery. Too great of a risk with Lin, you see...

Then you have your hiding part, and a new wrinkle in the entire story that could take --- whole days!!! --- to figure out, and then we can have all the fun of Sorn and the rescue party BOTH looking for the two runaways, and, and, and, well, it sounds fun to me!

Hmm... not to mention the unexpected loss of Gurth. Sorn would have his hands full for sure searching for both Gurth and Scyld/Lin, certainly with a band of mead-hallers on his tail. I can just see him snapping from all the pressure in a fit of rage... a classic Sorn moment...

I like that idea, lmp...really sounds good.

Cool!

Now, how are we going to make this happen ... especiallyl with Firefoot rather unavailable for the short duration? Perhaps, Jenny, you could take control of Scyld and Gurth in the absence of their writers?

JennyHallu · 07-21-2006, 02:35 PM

I think Ang did a good job of getting Gurth out of the action. I'm not going to worry about him.

As for Scyld, I will write for him the bare-minimum-absolutely-necessary, and hopefully Firefoot can edit in her version of events with minimal mess later. However, I don't think we're quite to the point of such urgency yet.

Well yeah about Gurth. Duh. I can't wait for this month to be over so we can get Celuien back to her usual writing frequency. Ah, RL, that nasssty thing.

So might Deren be freed from guard duty to join the chase?

Folwren · 07-21-2006, 08:46 PM

Sure, I imagine he could. He is under Haleth and has only been stationed at the gate to see if he could find anything out. Now that they know who the kidnaper (probably) is, they won't need extra people down there at the gate and Deren can join the main force of rescuers. .. unless otherwise ordered by you or Haleth.

Elempi ain't in Rohan.

But Eodwine couldn't order Deren either, he's under Haleth. But yeah.

Sorry for my lack of posting recently. I'm going home Friday night, so I'll be around more once Internet access is less of a hassle.
