Save filled. Nogrod, Child, Firefoot, or Undomie.....you are welcome to have your orc characters respond.

Sorry this is so late but things are nuts as I am getting ready to leave next week. (Plus I was watching a baseball game that went 18 innings!)

I am also a laggard. I beg your indulgence. I'm dealing with unavoidable family problems--nothing terrible, just time consuming. I will be home tomorrow waiting for an AC repairman to come so should have time to get that save done then.

Finally back! Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things really quick. Unfortunately the start of school is coming up much faster than I'd like, and I have summer work to do. But...I've ignored it till now, and I'll ignore it more. Shouldn't be too difficult anyway.

Right now I just need sleep.

I promise I will read up on everything tomorrow and work on a post.

And as for plot twists and headaches...anything goes!

Durelin,

It is good to see you. I also need sleep

and will drop you a note tomorrow. I hope you had a good trip.

_______________

Finally, we are there at the camp....

I have briefly used some of your characters. If anything needs an edit, please let me know.

Alrighty...I've posted for Khamir. I'll have a post up for Vror tomorrow.

Brinniel - I hope my post is alright. It leaves it open for Shae to be anywhere you'd like at this point; perhaps she has already ran off, or perhaps she is preparing to. Maybe she's even trying to convince someone else to go with her? It's up to you.

If you don't like it that I mentioned Shae being gone (or just Shae in general, really) in my post at all, it can be completely redone.

Brinniel · 08-18-2006, 11:50 PM

Durelin, are you setting up your last post to the morning after the children were captured? The mention of Shae is fine, except I was planning on her to leave the evening before the rescue of the children. Perhaps if you changed your time to evening and squeezed in my post before yours, that would be great. That way Nogrod could post for Hadith (maybe witnessing Shae leaving the camp), and then I could make my next post the struggle between a rider and Shae.

Anyways, if you could just place it above yours, here's my post:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Brinniel's post

Dusk approached, marking the end of a long, uneventful day. Shae sat facing the west, staring out at the orange and pink hue that was left of the sun. As each minute went by, she could feel the restlessness spread throughout her body. A whole day had been wasted by sitting and doing absolutely nothing. And why was that? Khamir. The slightest thoughts of him made her clench her hands into fists. The previous night had been spent in complete chaos, mostly in disapproval of Khamir’s actions, yet the ex-slaves still followed his orders.

Shae kept thinking back to the children who had been taken—Kwell and Azhar were their names. Surely they have given up on all hope of being rescued by now. Shae hated to think of the suffering they would forced to endure. It shouldn’t be so. Leaving innocent children in the hands of slavers while the others simply rested. And even worse, there were no intentions to depart the next day. Shae’s nails dug into her palms causing her old wounds to reopen and bleed through the bandages. She turned around and gazed at the others. Most were either eating or sleeping. No objections to Khamir’s orders. And not even the slightest bit of sympathy for the captured children. Shae couldn’t take it. For years, she had been reliant on others to help her. But not anymore. If anything were to be done, she would have to do it herself.

Standing to her feet, Shae searched for Khamir with her good eye. He stood in the back of the camp occupied with Beloan. Perfect. Few ever noticed her presence among the ex-slave. It would be a long time before anyone discovered she was gone. With one last look at the camp, Shae took off in the direction of the slavers’ camp

Durelin · 08-20-2006, 12:41 PM

Brinniel - I'm pretty sure I left it open so that Shae could have left sometime in the evening, because neither Khamir nor Beloan state that they have seen her at any point, really.

Nogrod brought the time up to dawn, unless I really misinterpreted his post, so I think he should probably place your post before his. Reading your post, I think it fits there fine.

If you'd rather try to fit it in somewhere else, just let me know.

Sorry for all the confusion.

And I apologize for not having a post up for Vror yet. I can't believe school starts in a week!
