Friends of Nimrodel: Tapestry of Dreams - Discussion

[Firefoot]

I'm a little hesitant to post ideas before finishing the thread (I'm about 2/3 there, now), since while I've picked up the gist of it I'm not totally sure about the circumstances at the end. But what Celuien said sounded like an interesting idea to me:

What if they dream and leave before the men? Then they're not leaving in an objectionable mixed gender party or trying to catch up to the men, and any reuniting of the group could be in the context of a non-honor-impairing rescue. And they could be excused for going in the first place by reason of being temporarily possessed by visions that left them a bit non compos mentis...
