My save is filled in and I have posed two questions. Anyone care to answer one or both?

If anyone wants to, you are welcome to take the three younger Elves, Lindir and his friends, and use them in your post to help build a cairn for Vaenosa who has passed on.

Someone else (or the same poster) should lead Nevtaliel and her husband to those who are injured.

Farael!

I guess you should delete your save and put your post after mine (the one that is now after your empty save)? It would seem more logical if my post would be straight after Child's.

I just thought to somehow pay heed to the fact, that our characters must have heard the elves coming before they saw them, and would surely have reacted to it somehow. They wouldn't probably be waiting calmly for occasional friends popping up for tea...

Sorry guys, I'm afraid my save will take a bit longer to be completed. I'll delete it if I must but I thought Osmod as the only leader at the moment should at least welcome the elves.

Move on as you please (That's the point of a save) and assume that Osmod welcomed the elves, accepting that they are probably the only chance the wounded have to survive.

I have an exam on Tuesday, I thought I'd be writing up the post today but something else came up and I won't have writing time now until after the exam.

Meghan has approached Nevtaliel and asked for help with Brand.

Brand is patched up. I hope everyone likes "schmaltz"!

Sythric.....I hope to get to you tomorrow real time.

Ok. I thought of trying to write a short post today before yours, but then realized, it would have needed active part from Leod too. I don't think it was so important as to delay this because of it for one more day.

But to help you out with it, after the last effort of making a fast (and crazy) defence...

Sythric is on his knees, leaning towards the stone (less than waist-high, about: one where you just could sit on), kind of embracing it with his hands (he tried to pull himself up before everything was cleared), his cheek against it. He's breathing heavily but slowly because of the effort but quite conscious. His wound is probably bleeding lightly again. (Leod surely has not been happy to find his patient on that position and making such an effort anyway...

)

Do what you will with the Healer's analysis - especially if you have some pre-agreement or plan with Arry. I still like the idea of opening the stiches and checking the organs, but as you wish. I have no strong opinion about that.

Use Sythric as you see fit. I'll try to post something in reaction to your post then.

Child of the 7th Age · 05-29-2006, 02:52 PM

No pre-agreement or plan with Arry. Just me winging it.

OK, how about if the Elvish healer opens up the stitches to check the wound and discovers a trace of poison that was left behind and a tiny sliver of the iron blade? I'll make sure the small piece is very well hidden so Leod doesn't come off as a "negligent healer".

When I do a post, I'll definitely use your description of Sythric from the discussion thread. Maybe Sythric's mind is beginning to blur a bit under the impact of the poison, and that's why he kind of blanks out for a little at the end, despite his valiant effort to rise and to secure his bow?

I'll go ahead with this later today unless I hear something different from you.
