Um...yeah...and I just reread and I was wrong and Firefoot was right and could you please move it again and stick it where she said? Or I guess I could...I will.

Tara - do you have any specific ideas about how Sorn's house is run? I had it in mind that Scyld was sort of an all-purpose sort of guy - groundskeeping, running errands, whatever Sorn needed him to do - but what about, for instance, cooking? Does he have a servant to do this, and perhaps some cleaning as well? It seems fairly logical (if he has minions, surely he has servants?), but I was also wondering how he would handle that, now that they've kidnapped someone - does he trust his servants, then? Or threaten them, even if it is only understood?

Fire: Good questions!

Scyld has mentioned in sme posts his frustration at not being able to take on more important tasks relating to Sorn's scheming. Perhaps to make that more apparent, he could have some more menial duties?

His household would, because of his financial situation, be run on a 'skeleton staff'. Most likely one cook, one stable hand, perhaps some sort of cleaner? Someone Scyld helps out now and then. People have mentioned the house looks a little dilapidated, so he wouldn't have dozens of staff running about.

Of course, being Sorn, he wouldn't take a 'nice' way around keeping his servants quiet. Threats would probably work well, maybe also promises of a mighty reward - of course deals he won't keep.

Sorn really trusts no-one. So it would make sense he would have something in mind to keep his minion's silence.

I hope these answer your questions, and they fit in with the story Jenny . I'll try to work more of this into my future posts.

Okay, that's sort of what I was thinking, but I thought I'd check to make sure...

And by the way... what exactly is it in your avatar? I've been trying to figure it out for a while now without success...

Taralphiel · 05-28-2006, 05:48 AM

Ah, Jenny , I just saw your post about the items that were taking from Lin. I'll make sure to account for them in my next post. I'll have Sorn admiring the blade meant for Degas *nod*

Fire: It's not so much a what, as a whom :3 Her name is Fawne... I thought people may recognise it as a face, but maybe it's too obscure n.n; Pretty, but obscure....*giggles*

With that done, back to planning some more smouldering spoilt brat Sorn posts! *wink*

Tara - I wasn't sure if Sorn would let Scyld happen to see Linduial's things or not - I don't know if it matters, but if you think he wouldn't, I can take that out... I saw that you said you were going to put that in your next post, though, so I figured that's what Sorn would be doing...

Folwren · 05-30-2006, 08:07 PM

Where is Hama, by the way? He seems to have a lack of presence here. Our search party isn't getting very far, and at the rate we're going, Lin will be quite unreckonizable, having lain in a dark, dirty prison for so long.

Elempi, I see you're on now, and I thought I'd better hurry up and explain something.

When I wrote my post earlier, my computer was scarcely working for me. I was about to write a post here and before I could finish it and get it posted, the computer shut down on me, so I was left with the post on the game put up but the post here on the discussion thread not put up.

What I have to say is this - I went ahead and took Dorran away with the other people going to gate without asking your leave first. I thought that it would be fun to have a player down there at the gate since most of us are going to be in the main group. If you do not want Doran to leave without Eodwine's permission then I'll edit.

Gotta go. HAve got work to do.

-- Folwren

I'm sitting here waiting for Hama to make Haleth take over the search. Or does somebody think I could do something else? Taking suggestions and content to wait.

Taralphiel · 05-29-2006, 07:05 PM

I just peeked at your post, and that's fine with me Fire .

I'm posting a reply now. I'm using this small opportunity to get Sorn talking to Linduial. Hope it makes sense
