Firefoot, what woods are Linduial and Scyld in now? I am assuming they are not near Eodwine and the rest of us, else we might have heard them.

Elempi and Celuien, did Thornden and his men go with Garstan and Eodwine to their horses? I'm thinking Thornden would probably excuse them and they'd run back to get their horses. However, by now, Sorn is gone and they probably think they won't be able to find him now, if Deren didn't.

What are they going to do at this point? Head back to the house and meet up with Haleth and Deren and the false Linduial?

By the way, Elempi, your last post made me blush for Thornden. I felt so sorry for my serious young man. *chuckle*

The way I imagine it, the woods 'surround' the property on two sides; Garstan and Eodwine initially set out to the east side of the property, while Scyld and Linduial escaped out the back heading more or less southwards - maybe a little westerly, if that takes them farther away.

That makes sense. Do you need me to edit anything?

Tara...

I was wondering if we could add to the things Sorn needs to do a trip to the cellar.

If Sorn never realizes Lin's flown the coop, so to speak, then the threat of imminent danger that resulted in Scyld's defection never existed. Is it likely that he might rush down into the cellar with the intent of doing away with Lin, and discover her absence?

I like this idea very much!

Let me see...Sorn will actually make it to the cellar, as his intention all along was to kil lin before he threw the knife. He makes it there, sees she is gone, and decides to chase her down to make sure he saves his skin.

He bumps into Gurth, asks him to find the girl, and Gurth refuses? They fight, they monologue, and Sorn gets his just desserts.

This would require Anguirel to delete the save post and put it up later on where it fits. But that wouldn't be so hard.

Does that seem like a good plan? Or too simplistic? I'm open for suggestions.

Firefoot · 10-26-2006, 07:14 PM

I'll be honest; I'm still not completely for Sorn dying already and I think it could be interesting if Sorn himself were to chase after Linduial - is this a logical decision? or a mad-Sorn-on-the-loose decision?

And Haleth needs to die (this has been written in on the Mead Hall thread by now); if Sorn is gone, I don't think Osfrid is going to kill anyone, not surrounded by Rohirrim. Would Gurth?

Taralphiel · 10-26-2006, 07:50 PM

Very good point, Fire.

So, we hold off the altercation with Gurth even longer, and have Haleth bump into Sorn? Maybe not so bluntly...perhaps Haleth is near the study and Sorn sneaks up on him? Sorn would be rather miffed to see people wandering about HIS house...:P

I can only guess on Gurth. At the moment, Sorn is your best bet.

Sounds good. I'll try to have another post up for Haleth soon getting him alone in the study - no guarantees on that, though; my life has been absolutely nuts the past few days and doesn't look to ease up until after the weekend sometime.

That seems good, if you like.

IT's so easy to pick on the poor over-serious young man.

From your writing, that's clear.

That's alright, though. I don't mind.

Yes, I think so. Have Thornden say something to the effect of, 'Our horses are back there, we should go get them.' and then maybe have Eodwine tell them to meet them at the house?

If Elempi is alright with that, you can edit your post and I can make a post wherein my men go back to the horses and then ride to the house, there to meet Eodwine and Garstan again and everyone else to boot. Just let me know. I should be about.

All right by me.
