I don't have to leave it here, as I put a save on the thread for it last night. But I can post my part there and inform you about it, so you can take on with it and send your part to me (and I'll attach it there). Ok.?

But this lunch-post that I will attach here, would be made better, if you would like to continue it a bit (it ends by Sythric looking at Raedwald for comments).

So my lunch-post, to be attached in Arry's save:

Btw. Arry

If the action coming on us will take place as we ride, should either of our scouts (whoever they will be) have some idea about what is going to happen? And should they react?

I have written in my post, that Sythric will accept the post during the afternoon also, but would be as happy riding with the main group. That kind of means, that as I have already posted a scout-post, I would be ready and willing to give that part to someone else. If no-one wants it, I can make Sythric take it (Vaenosa seems to be our other scout). But as Sythric is an experienced scout, he should not be taken totally unawares...

Glad you made Vaenosa a scout again! She would prefer that! Please carry on with her Nogrod if you need to, but she would not be too happy about your praise and or instructions....Please just make her fairly silent, with an occasional word...Oh don't forget the looks she likes to give. I'll be back in full swing really soon! 1 exam down, 2 to go!

I know she won't be happy with the praise - or the instructions! That's part of the fun here, I think...

But Sythric tries to make contact with her, and is overall a bit concerned about these people going to scout without any knowledge about, what they should do, or how to do it.

Hopefully I used her carefully enough the last time? First I thought writing Sythric thinking, that she seemed not to be very enthusiastic about them two being alone by the hillock, and that's why he started to show those orc-tracks, to fill the time... Just had quite much of writing today, and thence left it out.

I have no idea where or when the 'action' will occur . . . or what it will be. And it may come from behind the group. We'll just have to wait and see . . .
Understood. Looking forward to it...

Everything you wrote concerning Vaenosa was just fine Nogrod and yep I agree about the fun!

Can you put this in Arry's SAVE please:


‘That lifts my spirits . . . the news about Croacht. Though at the same time, I think that it will be hit hard once the bigger battles begin and that Dark Lord in Mordor pushes west.’

Rædwald threw the leg bone from the chicken he’d been eating into the fire, watching what little fat was left on it blaze up around the knob ends. ‘I think Sythric, is right in his little lesson on scouting. I know most of you who tend flocks have some experience with it . . . though your enemy would be of the four legged variety, and less likely to be as stealthy as some of the two legged sort.’

He nodded at Sythric, saying, ‘I think it might be best if you stay on as one of the scouts. Perhaps Osmod and Brand and I can take up the rear position, and be on alert for problems following us.’

Rædwald’s eyes flicked round the circle; some were uneasy at his words and glanced over there shoulders as if to make sure no danger lay behind . . .

POST PLACED ~*~ Pio

Pio -

Please place this post in Nogrod's space:


‘I’ve upped my estimation of Brand,’ Rædwald said as the two men secured the tarps to the trees. ‘He’s not a military man, doesn’t think in those terms from what I can see. He’s a good, solid fellow, though, who listens to what his folk have to say, and takes their opinions into account.’ He tightened a knot round a branch and chafed his hands together to bring back a little warmth to them.

‘He’s got a good head on his shoulders and an admirable sense of responsibility for what tasks he takes on. And I think that’s how he sees this ride to Edoras. As a task he’s taken on for his village’s lord, and by extension for the village itself. He has a strong sense of family, too. His first loyalty, I think is to them and then to his village. Now that’s not to say he has no respect for the King. He does seem to in his own way.’ Rædwald looked into the distance, his face thoughtful. He’s a good man, one who would do right by you. And I think that’s why the others follow him . . . not because he wants to be leader . . .’

‘And Osmod, well I’m not sure what’s going through his mind. I think the ransacked village and the unfortunate injury to Fion has put him in a reflective mood. Both these young men . . . Brand and Osmod . . . they’re just farmers and ordinary villagers at heart. That’s where their real strength lies in the husbanding of land and flock and crop . . . not in the awful, foul business of war and slaughter and grim deeds.’

He took a breath and waved at the approaching group. ‘I wouldn’t want to push him . . . Osmod, that is. If he wishes, he can come to me with his concerns, in his own way and at his own time. It’s the consideration I’d give any man.’
