Firefoot -

Sondo is looking a bit wet.

Just wanted to clarify..... Is this the point in the story when you want everyone tossed off the raft and into the drink? See your earlier comments below:

Quote:

At any rate, the raft will crash sometime in the late evening - I want it like this so that it is actually dark, and the hobbits will have a rather sleepless night, not meeting up until morning (does this sound cruel or what? ). Sorry for what seems like a break in the action right now - I hadn't planned on the storm picking up so violently already, and I'm trying to get us on to nighttime.

Can I assume that we should not be able to retrieve the raft or our supplies, and that we will be unable to hitch up again as a group until the morning, though one or two of us may bump into each other?

I wanted to check before I filled in my save.

Child - correct. The raft has crashed and all the hobbits are in the water. Between the dark and the storm, the raft and supplies will now be unretrievable. When the hobbits make it to shore (and also, I hadn't said this, but if anyone is going to mention it, I want all the hobbits to be on the east bank) they can meet up in pairs or so before morning when all the hobbits are reunited.

Might as well ask now, so I can start thinking about my post. Who would like to meet up with the troublesome/annoying Rory?

Anyone care to be buddied up with Reggie? Not Bingo, probably, though, since that would make things a little less ... urgent, I guess. Too comfortable.

Reg could go with Rory, if you like, Boromir; or perhaps he could go with Sassy, seeing as he's felt some sympathy for her thus far.

Primrose -

I wanted to respond to your offer of a candy but I was slow in posting and Firefoot had rightly pushed the action forward. I've put my response in the bottom part of your save box. I hope this is alright with you. Otherwise, let me know.

Off to fill in that other save....

*************************

Edit: My save is filled in. I am presently hurtling down river. My plans are to beach my "craft" and begin walking back, even if it will take half the night.

Just a warning.... Someone may get a "ghostly" visitor in the middle of the night, while you are trying to catch a few winks of sleep. Bingo is bleary eyed and half asleep. He'll probably slink in and, given his present condition, will not be certain of who you are. He may effectively give you a bit of a scare. Feel free to "attack" the scary intruder.

Cami on behalf of Bingo

That's all right by me.

Righty-o. When I fill in my save I'll work that out.
