Just wanted to update my planned absentee dates. It looks as though the August 4 - 6 will now be August 10th evening through the 13th morning instead. I should be able to manage to read though.
Also I have been having a hard time getting online at home, so if I don't answer PM's right away, please bear with me. Access during free time at work is also a problem. Somehow they 'Websensed' me out of the Barrow-Downs again yesterday, *horrors*. Luckily, I was able to find a way back in! |

Apologies for not being active lately. My internet has been acting up, so my net access has been on and off.
We're going to have someone come take a look at it, but probably not until after the trip (when I will be gone from the 8th - 16th). Today it seems to be doing alright, but I've got my fingers crossed. -Durelin |

I'd love to have some opinions on this:
Should Vrór and Carl figure out this tunnel business before reporting back? I'd think they'd be torn on whether or not to make any bigger holes for fear they would be found (not at the pit end, but at the end they entered from). Perhaps they would go with the assumption that it can lead them to the pit, but, when they actually go for the rescue, they run into a bit of difficulty - they find the way seemingly blocked, and realize that they should have expected the slavers to be a little more observant. But, either Vrór or Carl or someone else, perhaps even Rög with his *many talents* would find a way to get through? ![]() I want to make a post for Vrór before I leave, but wasn't sure if I should just have Vrór and Carl do a bit more investigating to feel pretty certain that it leads to the pit, and then have them report back to the Fellowship; or, if I should have them make a bigger hole and climb through to find things to be 'blocked' (and then between the two of them they figure out a way to unblock it/get past). |

Well, my inexperienced opinion is this.
Firstly, they should figure out how likely it would be for them to be discovered - that is, find out what the slavers are doing - are they sleeping, moving on, what's their level of awareness right now? Secondly, then, they would go back to their hole, decide that it probably does lead to the pit and then try to decide what to do with it. Now, as to what that decision should be. . .I would think, seeing as they were only sent as spies, that they would not delve into it by themselves, but rather slip back with the information they have and tell them what they’ve discovered about the hole and the underground tunnel leading into the pit where one child’s voice has been heard. -- Folwren

Thanks for the suggestion about checking on the slavers level of awareness. Didn't think of that one. See what kind of spy I would be? ![]() ![]() Thanks so much, Folwren. |

I have a post up for Dorran. Any of the fellowship in camp can answer or it can just be a rhetorical question
I need to paste in the diacritics and will do that tomorrow. I am struggling with a laptop that won't let me do it the regular way. At least it's better than a desktop computer that isn't working! Durelin and Hilde -- Sorry about Dorran's Mannish pride!

And I am sorry Durelin, I'm having a devil of a time getting online at home, (seems I can only get a connection in the early morning). Work is a bit easier at the moment. I'm fine with whatever you have chosen to run with, although Tevildo's post reminded me that if the fellowship were to worry because their spies haven't returned in a timely fashion, they might start out to try and find them, perhaps meeting the spies as they made their way back. Would this route cut down the time required to move on? Just a thought. I'm also wondering what is to be done with the horses. |
