PS. Should someone keep count on the casualties? Sythric has killed one. Brand/Lady took two? Raedwald killed three? - that would already make 6 dead easterlings (from what? 12-16, more?). We seem to be really effective.

My dear chap, don't you know? When the good guys need to win, they slaughter at large. When they have to loose, they don't manage to kill anyone. Just watch the LotR movies!

P.S. I hope ya'll know sarcasm when you hear it. But, actually, I think we're doing alright. It's hard, though, you know? Unless anyone wants to loose their character, no one can die. And if no one can die, the story telling has to be a bit unrealistic, doesn't it? Let it slip a might, Nogrod...it'll be fine.

Don't worry, I do. I happen to use it all the time myself - and wonder every now and then, whether others get it...

And yes, I know, we can't die... but maybe we should even have to struggle a bit to earn our win?

Maybe we all have just gotten our inner Orlando Bloom flourishing, skateboarding the baddies to their deaths - left-handedly and eyes shut?

But yes, it'll be fine. Don't worry about me. I've had a good time - and will have more!

I can be badley wounded if it helps with the realism....I don't mind....Vaenosa has yet to sustain any injurys. I was thinking she could be shot with an arrow as she shoots her own or by a spear from behind perhaps....I am sure she could kill a few before she goes down though

I think it would help with her attitude as well, as she will need to depend on others for help (not her preference).

Let me know what you "guys" think and I will post something today or early tomorrow.

Rædwald is now dead.

Meghan is unconscious and has been dragged off to the Easterling lord.

Oh, goodie! I've been waiting for someone to pay me a visit.

Well, if the Easterling lord is the one who grabbed Athwen's hair, Osmod will be visiting him as soon as I finish writting up my save. If that's ok with you, I'll have him retreat momentarily, it's up to you whether he is actually retreating or just moving to a better position.

Poor Raedwald!

But where is Meghan exactly? Dragged to the Easterling lord? That's disobeying clear orders: the living-loot was to be dragged to the ridge - to this Alimari-guy (what was his name?). Child: you seem to be having a disobedient bunch of soldiers out there! Maybe that's the reason they keep losing?

But more seriously. If Farael wants to try some heroics here, he should know, where to go. Uphill - riding after the guy carrying Meghan (doable) - or down to the storm's eye - facing the lord himself (heroic, but suicidal?)...

Looking good, people! Enjoying your posts.

Farael · 04-20-2006, 03:32 PM

Save filled, I'm still unsure of whom exactly was grabbing Athwen's hair but whoever it was, moved away

Nogrod · 04-20-2006, 03:38 PM

Nicely done Farael!

(the problem I mentioned above, was evaded quite beautifully)
