I also described a couple of "stalls" (maybe two of them) for short-term holding of horses that Leof knows in advance will be needed that day - nothing at all fancy. These may be adjoined in some way to the equipment "shed."

So it was said, and so it shall be.

Looks like the horse readying has been agreed upon alread - 1 hour.

If I don't remember to, Lommy, remind me to list you as caretaker for the stone throwing. Thanks!

EDIT: Oh my and oh my, and now the triangular plot really thickens, as Eodwine must "make his confession". This will get interesting, as soon as I have a chance to post, which will most likely not be until tomorrow. I foresee the second heated argument in one day in which Saeryn will be involved...

Man...I hate Rowenna so much right now...

And I reiterate.

The plot thickens, as they say.

I too, wish to register my feelings of outrage on Saeryn's behalf--and commend the authors for the delicious drama.



Also, on a more business-like note, Náin is definitely still around somewhere, and I should maybe indicate where, but as the day has descended into revelry, he's unlikely to have much to do for the moment, so I'm letting him lay low. But if you need him, he's taking cover there somewhere.

Niiiice. I didn't know Saeryn had such a high standing among the players of the Mead Hall. This is so funny.

Elempi, that was a great post! Especially when he was thinking about what her expression said to him - all those 'How dare you!' Extremely accurate.

It was a nice post, Elempi, but I'm afraid to see if Saeryn will explode, cry, or scheme against Rowenna with your answer. Tensions are running high at Scarburg!

Well....looks like she's kind of exploded and is also scheming.

Elempi, if Eodwine wants to say something, Saeryn's available. If you don't want to have him say aught, then Saeryn can finish up and walk away, depending on what you want and how it will work best with your character and his thoughts and emotions. (Having Saeryn walk away from him could be very dramatic from his point of view, if you think about it.)

I hope she wins the race.

Speaking of which, if I take four dice (one for Saeryn, one for Rowenna, one for Eowine, and one for Leof) and I roll each one five or six times and then add up the numbers and whoever has the greatest sum will win, and the next come in second and so forth - will that be good enough if we're basing this on chance?

I think the people having the greatest chance is Leof or Saeryn, and maybe Eodwine, depending on what horse he has. Flithaf may be excellent, but I've been thinking about this...he's old(er), and his chances of winning against two (maybe three) young horses like Saeryn's or Leof's is really not very likely. But, the general opinion is that Flithaf is a particularly superb horse and therefore should have just as good a chance. In which case, I can do the dice idea. I just want to make sure everyone thinks that would be fair.
