Sorry will do but have had access issues and was a bit confused about what is going on with the villain. will do something now..

OK I may have to change what I have posted (other than Elfride's actions) I know so just say if I have messed up. I have roped in Leoflic and Edhener as "theatre sisters"

and sent Thomas and Mayonette to support Hama. I have only had Elfride wonder about what is going on becasue I don't know what the situation is with the villagers and samuel. Obviously we can get on quicker if there is a trustworthy Reeve ( anglo saxon term for a senior local official appointed by the king) who will accept the word of the General that they were the victims not the assailants of the original attack, and take the henchman into custody. Obviously we may not get away that simply.

I have a fairly busy week so if you want to assume that Hama has given them the truth (but not automatically the whole truth) that is fine. If you need me to poat what he has actually said then let me know and I will add it to this post.

Let me know if you want m to undo anything ..but I did think it might give thomas and Mayonette a chance to have an interesting conversation...

Ah yes Thanks Glirdan. Yes we have to discuss what may become of Cordelia.

Mith - great post. I will post for Mayonette now. Adu please post for Thomas ASAP. Thankies!

Depending on how involved with Samuel the villagers are .... I think we may be able to delay dealing with Cordelia... . the man seems more likely to survive and Hama is so high status that I am sure that if he said he would be answerable for her, she would be free to continue the quest . I sort of expected that if he doesn't get kiled ~Samuel is going to have to answer to the King eventually so if that is the case any fall out for cordelia could wait?

If you want to deal withit now the fact that Elfride has pushed the arrow through means that it is only going to be the thug's eord against ours that he was shot in the back..... not that I would advocate lying of course...

Crystal Heart · 08-07-2006, 03:05 PM

We could. However, how would we explain the hole in his back?

Lying would save Cordelia from the mess she's found herself in. *thinks* Sounds like a good game plan. Anyone else have a vote on the lying front?

I meant that since Elfride pushed the arrow through creating a exit as well as an entry wound it is not so obvious that the man was shot in the back while fleeing rather than in the front while attacking.... btu I think it depends on how the villagers react. On the whole honesty is the best policy and the ruffians were the agressors....

Oh what a boring post by me, I'm sorry I have no imagination or concentration right now, it's actually winter down here...
