So if you want to do character development goals, I don't think anybody's going to tell you that you may not.

Well, of coures they're not going to tell me. *chuckle* It's just I don't have any particular character developement or character changing I want done.

My post is finally up. I really am sorry about the delay. Elempi and Celuien, I pretty much left it entirely open for you two to do whatever you wanted with it. It's a terribly embarrassing situation for Thornden. Poor fellow! First Eodwine tells him to quit being a coward (or close) and then he goes off and ambushes his own lord! I really don't think I'd like to be in his place right now.

Anyhow, have fun with it. We are going to Grandma's house tomorrow to watch one of the world series games. Therefore, unless I can somehow get access to Grandma' computer and internet, I am not going to be around at all tomorrow. Monday, I will be busy until nearly noon, so don't expect anything from me until then, at the earliest.

If my post is in any way unsatisfactory (including grammatical or spelling errors) don't hesitate to let me know. I was distracted as I wrote it and am too exhausted to re-read it now. Later, when I've time and energy, I will go over it and fix obvious problems if I find any.

Goodnight!

Blame whoever decided I had to have 24 hours in a day instead of 26...

Deleting my save. I'll 'fill' it when I can.

Where are the horses of Deren, Thornden, and their small companies?

Folwren · 10-22-2006, 06:11 PM

Oh, golly, I really don't know. I forgot about them. Should Thornden and his men be riding their horses? Perhaps until they come to the woods? They could there dismount and ground tie them while they went into the wood to investigate. As for Deren and his three companions, unless their horses were led off by the other men, they were left at the gate. Good horses, you know, will ground tie when their reins are dropped to the ground - even if their companions are ridden off.

By the way, I am at Grandma's house, but the computer is not dial up, so it's constantly connected, which is really nice.

I'll hop in and out of here during the ball game.

Okay. Because I had a post written, but I didn't know what to do about horses... I'll say they had been ground-tied then - although I don't know that I'd trust Sorn or somebody not to make off with them.

Folwren · 10-22-2006, 08:17 PM

Right. That's fine, I think. Everybody at Sorn's place is obviously pre-occupied.

Sometime tomorrow I'll hopefully write a post about Deren or some of his men meeting Haleth.

Firefoot, what woods are Linduial and Scyld in now? I am assuming they are not near Eodwine and the rest of us, else we might have heard them.

Elempi and Celuien, did Thornden and his men go with Garstan and Eodwine to their horses? I'm thinking Thornden would probably excuse them and they'd run back to get their horses. However, by now, Sorn is gone and they probably think they won't be able to find him now, if Deren didn't.

What are they going to do at this point? Head back to the house and meet up with Haleth and Deren and the false Linduial?

By the way, Elempi, your last post made me blush for Thornden. I felt so sorry for my serious young man. *chuckle*

What needs to happen next? I see that Foley has written Eodwine as coming back to the main house, but to do what? Order Deren, yes, but what else? Seems we have a death of Haleth to do yet? Any more on the escape? Now that Muriel has been uncovered as not Linduial, the search of the house will now be more feverish and thorough, and then Sorn will be sought out with a vengeance; but will he be dead first? If so, then what?

JennyHallu · 11-11-2006, 07:08 PM

This is how I see the events right now:

While the house is frantically searched, Haleth is killed outside. Sorn and Gurth follow Scyld and Linduial into the woods. The hidden door to the cellar is finally discovered, and the rescuers troop downstairs to find the outside door, and, just outside, Haleth's body.

Sorn and Gurth find Scyld and Linduial. Scyld proves his worth, Gurth's loyalties are tested. The rescuers frantically follow the tracks up into the hills.

Sorn and Gurth have their showdown, the rescuers arrive towards the end of the action, mop up the remaining threat...and from there I'm unclear.
