I though it through and rest assured, nothing sensational is going to happen... And Tevildo, I will not use Dorran but to make him appear... Take it on from that onwards... Happily I came away with a post that doesn't involve too much either of you. (That's coming in soon...)

Nogrod,

I've put up a save. After you post, I'll have Dorran help in some way depending on how you end up with your own post. I'll wait to see what direction you've gone. This posting on a holiday weekend is a bit of a scramble!

Goodness. It seems much as happened since my few day absence. I'm still trying to get caught up here...I might put up a save soon, but due to my load of schoolwork, I'm not sure when I'll be actually able to write anything.

So where is our "cavalry"?

Good question. I'm still trying to figure out where all the slavers are. It seems about half are in battle and the other half are still heading towards the women and children...am I right? Shae is quite ready to fight...perhaps I should send her to where Kwell is battling some of the slavers. I don't know...I'll send her to where ever anyone thinks is best at this point.

Hopefully you can clear that situation as Hadith is going to pass out quite soon... He has been young and brave.. but as it so often happens, foolish and unexperienced. These are the prices ones have to pay to grow up?

But please Tevildo, handle your enemy as a real experienced fighter. He's a bad one... (as most of the slavers should be) So not an easy prey...

And hopefully Folwren agrees with my interpretation of Athwen getting actively into the fight as soon as she was able?!

Folwren · 11-26-2006, 06:58 PM

Hm, hm, hm. I'll think about what Athwen did and then sometime maybe tonight maybe tomorrow morning get back with you.

Apparently, I have some access to a computer. I don't know if it's enough to post. If I do have time and ability, I will try to decide if I'm alright with Athwen jumping in like that and then maybe write a post.

What if, though, I asked you to take out that end part with Athwen adn then I could write a post about what she does to at least buy Hadith a little more time...perhaps until Dorran get's there?

Nogrod, here is the last paragraph of your post in the game.

Quote:

Hadith turned his head to see what happened. The slaver was about to give him the finishing hit when he suddenly was drawn away. There were the hands of a woman around his throat from behind. Athwen had jumped to her back! And just from the corner of his eye he could see Dorran to rush in with a yell.

Could you some how change it so that it will go along with what I have copied here and then copy and paste this bit into your post? I'd appreciate it.

Folwren's Post

Athwen knew at once that the advantage in this fight would be completely on the slaver's side. He was man, fully built and probably fully trained in fighting. Hadith would go down quickly with no hope of ever getting back up again. She had not a moment to loose in figuring out something to help him with, at least until Dorran reached them. But how? How was she supposed to stop a man twice her size from killing another? She looked around her, hoping to find something that she might use as a weapon.

Her eyes lit upon the slaver's horse. A plan instantly leaped into her mind. She ran forward to him and grasped his rein as he shied away from her. She spoke calming words to him, whispering reassuringly in his ear as she gathered his reins above his neck. As soon as he stood tolerably still she thrust her foot into the stirrup and launched herself upward into the saddle. Once there, her feet could not reach the stirrups, but that did not worry her. She clenched her knees tight against the hard leather of the saddle, turned his head about with one rein and urged him on with her heels in his side.

As the horse made the turn, Athwen could see the two combatants. Hadith was stumbling, his sword arm was far out in attempt to regain the balance he had lost. The slaver stepped forward and his arm swung upwards. Athwen bit back a cry and drove her heels into the horse just as the man's curved blade came slicing down.

The rushing, pounding hooves of the horse seemed to drive the emotion from Athwen's mind. She saw Hadith fall. She watched as he first collapsed to his knees and then fell onto his face in the ground before his enemy. Though the thought that he had been killed before her very eyes flashed through her mind, Athwen did not think to be sorry for him, she did not think of anything, except bearing down on this slaver.

The man looked up, hearing her approach. An expression of surprise filled his face and he stumbled back out of the horse's path. Athwen passed him, but her hand was already on the tight rein and in a moment, she and her horse were turned about again and charged once more upon the slaver.

Folwren: I've changed the ending of my post & placed yours after it.

Tevildo · 11-28-2006, 02:19 AM

Nogrod, Folwren,

Could you check my post? I am playing fast and loose with both your characters. Please tell me what to change. I did think we desperately needed Athwen's skill as a doctor..... Will this work?
