So could kids age 7-10 run 1 1/8 miles in 10 minutes. Well, no. They may be fast, but they haven't built up that kind of endurance usually. So I think it would make better sense to add on 5 minutes, at the least, maybe 10. Thoughts?

Adding the extra 5-10 minutes makes sense. Actually, it would probably take me about 10-15 minutes to run a mile now - I really need to use the elevators less.

I should be able to post again tomorrow. If anyone has something to post before I'm back, please go ahead.

Wow! Eodwine has a real problem on his hands, and I'm not quite comfortable with any particular way of resolving it. Namely, he has to get the two boys to safety and leave Rilef to an uncertain fate, which could run from merely being imprisoned, to well, killed. How to explain this to such impressionable lads while running for one's life (or there's)? I'll see what I can do. Brrrrrrr!

Well, when can we others step in and lend a hand? Please let us know.

Now.

We're all caught up.

I'm sorry to have stopped you all.

I shoiuldn't have. I could have written a few extra minutes into a post.

Looking brave and tricky indeed. Good!

I think you Cel might continue with the Garstan / Stigend part. I might try to write for Garmund / Cnebba in turn then.

I may have too much to do tomorrow (May 1st) but the next day might be fine.

Surely if you have any ideas go forwards with the kids as well.

k...I'm about to complete my post. I don't know how realistic it is. I didn't want any good people killed.

Elempi, tell me if what I've written is alright.

Edit: What should I do this outlaw?? I don't really want to kill him - I really dislike having anyone killed.... Any suggestions or ideas?

Quite simple, really, Foley: what would your character do in this particular situation? What does the plot demand?
