Thanks, Nogrod. I'll check and correct as needed. This crazy game moves so fast! Let me check the post. But, if Meghan is rescued, I'll need to come up with a reason for that howl from the top of the hill..... (I knew Athwen got away, but I didn't know Meghan was rescued.)

Going to check the game.....

Sorry! My bad! Confusing Athwen and Meghan!!!

As you said: going too fast...

Child of the 7th Age · 04-20-2006, 04:18 PM

Yes, I checked and that's what I saw too. I'll keep going with an imprisoned Meghan.

I've changed my posts a bit to accord with the fact that it is Calimehtar who attacks Sythric.

This has to do with the last paragraph of #322 and the first paragraph of #326.

Child: check that the description suits you...

Nogrod - The description is indeed quite nice!

Tevildo & Undome,

My post is complete. Tevildo - I think it's what we agreed on. If there are any changes needed in the descriptions of either Dorran or Meghan, please let me know and I will adjust.

Tevildo - the ball is in your court.

I had Pio place a post at the end of Child's post - Meghan tries to help out Dorran, if only a little . . .

Easterlings killed tally: 7 out of 16

Brand - 2

Sythric - 1

Osmod - 1

Rædwald - 3

So, that leaves 10 of us and 9 Easterlings still alive

Great post Folwren!

But Sythric probably isn't lying down, half dead... He has been hit with a sword (from up to down) to the side - and he has a nasty slash-wound (and it hurts!). But as he discovers Raedwald dead, he will be infuriated, and will ride up to the ridge, seeking for revenge - and saving of the others - calling anyone able to come with him (he takes Raed's lance to pay back).

If you care to change your post with that in view? You could write anything about seeing Sythric running to see Raed., getting quite shocked for a moment, taking Raed's lance and calling Thydrë - asking all to come with him. You might also note, that he seems to be in great pains himself all the time, and bleeding from his side... Pick what you want from these - or don't use them. As you wish.

Could it overall be then, that:

By Dorran's cry, all the easterlings remaining should be riding towards the ridge - as their lord is doing - and they should follow him? It could be reasonable?

Then someone should remain with Brand (and Raed, already dead) - maybe Athwen? The others - those who dare (are online...

), should ride after the easterlings (we probably note Dorran and Athwen missing - and see the problem?)?

And a possible correction to Arry's tally: hasn't Meghan shot one easterling? So 1 added?
