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.

I was thinking along those lines. Glad someone else agrees!

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!

No worries from this corner, Tevildo!

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.

Durelin · 08-04-2006, 03:30 PM

No, no problem at all, Hilde! I actually didn't expect you to be able to really be able to get online at all these past few days. But either way, it's no problem.

Tevildo - I was actually thinking I would be bringing Vror and Carl back already in my next post. Is this a problem for you and Folwren, or anyone? Hilde - were you planning on more with the spying? I think we need to get moving towards the rescue before things have a chance to slow down.

Child is returning from her trip today, and so might be more likely to be able to post soon, though I have not heard from her, and I don't want to have pressure on her to post for Lindir and Aiwendil to make a decision. If I do not get my post up soon, and she is unable to post for a few more days, you might want to 'stretch out' some decision making between Dorran and Athwen until Vror and Carl get back.

Telvido, Folwren - is it alright if Vror and Carl show up before anyone has a chance to make a decision about going to make sure the two are alright? (And sort of interrupt things.) This will only happen if I get my post up before anything else starts moving along (which I'm hoping it will, actually; I want to get it up as soon as I can, though I guess there are no guaruntees).

Sorry; let me know whatever and whenever you can. PM me if you prefer.

Sorry, I don't know how I missed this:

Well, it could cut down the time for the Fellowship in the roleplay, but it wouldn't cut down on the time in 'RL.' But it would only cut down the time if they packed up camp and everyone went to look for the spies, I imagine.

Folwren · 08-04-2006, 04:35 PM

No, it makes no difference to me and I doubt Tevildo would mind if you post their return before we had a chance to depart from camp. It seems alright. Do whatever you've a mind to.

Not a problem for me either. I can go with the flow either way. Hopefully, you'll do the post where the scouts return before your vacation break. If not, I'll spin it out some more.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 08-04-2006, 05:36 PM

I'm fine with them coming back with your post Durelin, and surprisingly it seems that my DSL troubles have cleared up. (This said with multiple fingers crossed). Can't help but wonder if it was somehow related to the heatwave and limited power supply.

Actually, my dates for being tied up are now running over next weekend instead of this one. Hopefully I will manage a post before then.

Regin: Your treatement of Gwerr was just fine, no problem. Hopefully the few lines I put into the mouth of Ishkur in my last post are right too... (I'll surely change them if needed, but I tried to use a kind of lines he had already used)

Durelin: My last post with Hadith is not exactly meant to make a new twist to the story by implicating any kinship between Hadith and Khamir - not to talk of anything even more drastic. But make it the way you wish. Basically I was just thinking that Hadith would recognize the "race" in Khamir, but surely we could make it somethnig more if we wished for it. Up to you.

Yay! Nice to be back. The youth-camp was great, but nothing beats your own home... well almost nothing.
