Beautiful job, Durelin! And you handled Carl very well, thanks.

Great job, scouts!

Members of the fellowship....

I've filled in my save (#131) to respond to Dorran and Athwen. I've also put up a transitional/narrative post (#133) to get us into the planning for the night. Since I am using other characters to a limited degree, let me know if any change is needed.

Also please take a look at the questions Lindir has raised and respond briefly for your characters. I am not sure Lindir totally understands the camp lay out and likely course of action as well as Carl and Vrór do, so please correct me if I've misunderstood or misrepresented anything. Also, if you've got any ideas to throw into the pot, be my guest.... It would be nice to get the actual rescue rolling in a few days as this will also give the orcs a chance to post again and wreck more havoc.

Durelin has asked me that I post here to inform you all that she does not have internet access at her current hotel. Also, since she feels there may not be access at future hotels, she may not be able to post until she returns.

Thanks, Captain of Despair, for passing that on. Also, please check your pms.

I've filled my save. Dorran has volunteered to guard Carl and Vrór.

I've used Lindir and Aiwendil as you suggested. Please let me know if I should change anything.

Lindir looks fine!

By the way, and this is especially for the Orcs who are currently lost in slumbers, you can assume that time has now advanced to the point that twilight is falling so feel free to drag yourself out of bed..... I will indicate that advance of time in my save, which I hope to do late tonight.

Do I have it right if I think that basically nothing has happened with the slave-refugees?

So they are still confused after the attack of the slavers and their own internal polemics?

Bad that Durelin is not here now.

I thought of making a post for Hadith, but I'll just have to be careful with it, I suppose.

Would it sound reasonable enough that f.ex. Beloan would put Hadith to guard on a hill nearby if they can't continue for a while because of the wounded?

And surely the writing with the slaves has ended at some early morning hours, so should we try to write them also to the evening now? I thought that the FS would meet them (the slaves) with the children at the early hours of the day and fight against the slavers the next night - raiding their camp after that (and then meeting the orcs)...

Do the slaves come up with their own plan of making a defence (and traps) for the night or do we wait for the fellowship to give them the ideas? Or should they try to run farther away when there still is a whole day in front of them?

And when should the orcs come to the stage? It seems now that they first meet the fellowship alone trying to free the two children... not the FS and the slaves together as they come to attack the slaver-camp? So is the FS's rescue-operation now a day late?

Sorry, but the time away from the story has raised these issues of small confusion.
