Eorling Mead Hall Planning/Discussion Thread

[Firefoot]

Here's the way I see it:

Leof and Thornden were in the stables when most of the happenings in the kitchen occurred. They hear vague noise and commotion - shortly (perhaps when it doesn't immediately die down), Thornden ran out into the courtyard. Two things could then happen (I'm going to number all points to keep them straight...):

1a) Leof stays in the stables.

1b) Thornden tells Leof to check the halls, since neither of them know what's going on.

2) Question: Does the residence wing have one or two floors? Where do those stairs go - the cellar?

3) At this point, Stigend enters the stables. Now, he walks all the way through them - even if Stigend didn't see Leof, Leof would have seen him - he's pretty in tune to what happens there. This then contradicts point 1a.

4) Stigend enters the residence wing. Leof isn't immediately in sight. Ergo, he must either be in a room or upstairs or the cellar (point 2). The second two make more sense... and if it's the cellar, Leof would then realize that the outlaws have escaped and make the connection with the earlier commotion.

5) Stigend and Leof hook up? Elborn shows up?

The "residential wing" has a floor level and an upstairs.

Harreld would most certainly take Ginna by the quickest way to the residence wing, namely through the door you mentioned. Can any posts with stuff about that please be revised accordingly? Thanks.

Also, there needs to be, at some point very soon, an outburst from Frodides along the lines of "What has happened to my kitchen?!?" For surely she would be relatively near. Kath?

Will do, sire.

Right, yes, sorry. I sort of lost Frodides and Kara when all this started and have been trying to work out where they'd be. And while I'm admitting my total confusion ... what has happened to the kitchen? Apart from the apparent lack of either Kara or Ginna being in it?

Frodides, like Kara, were no doubt with the rest in the Great Hall for the solemn moment regarding Rilef. Having been excused, Frodides and Kara apparently did not go back to the kitchen, so I imagine the most likely alternatives would be, in the case of Frodides, her room, the latrine, getting on with that visit to the market, or some such. For Kara, maybe it was interaction with the Dwarf, or in her room for a moment, or the latrine, or sent by Frodides to market, or the two went together, or for a walk in the paddock, your call.

Great post, Foley! A very intriguing read.

Firefoot, are you in hopes of your character running into Eodwine for better orders than Falco passed on, or do you intend any more of an exchange with Falco?

It doesn't matter. Leof is hoping for a something a little bit more detailed and clear, but he has the gist of the message, so if he runs into either of them (I don't recall where Eodwine is at the moment), great, otherwise he'll just ride on.
