If she's assumed "close" to Uldor (as a mistress-type), which is how I thought people would likely see her (and the best way for her to hide right out in the open), then I'd guess it's quite possible they'd see her as a way to information...whether or not they felt they had to spy on her, or if they could just get information out of her about Uldor and his father, though, is another matter, I suppose...

Celuien,Dimturiel Sorry to leave you hanging. We had snow here the last day before I left the state for a conference and I didn't get in to work so I couldn't let you know. I will try to get something up tomorrow, but, as always, if you have something, don't wait for me.

Child & other Borrim.

I made Fastarr to say that Ulfast's servant is a drunkard and goes regularly to the Inn he knows and should be talked to. I chose Ulfast just from the hat.

Kath has now written that Bergr could get information about Ulfast.

What do you think? Should we accept this as a "narrated fact" ie. we have two means to get knowledge of Ulfast which poses us a short-term problem? Another option is that I just go and edit my last post and change Ulfast to one of the other brothers.

Both ways are fine with me.

Nice to have this going on again!

I'm sorry Noggie! When I read Child's post I saw that Fastarr had been given Ulwarth to deal with, so I simply assumed that the servant you mentioned was one of his.

I can change it if necessary?

Nogrod, I see Fastarr hasn't mentioned his unpleasant encounter with the wretched Embla...Can't say I blame him, really.
Shall I just carry on with my thoughts on shadowing Jord now?

You probably should... as far as I can see the general discussion is now on and everyone should say something.

But I'll be coming with Fastarr's thoughts about Embla too later. Maybe after you post something I could make Fastarr notice her again and...

Child: I agree with you that the "great hunt" and the individual spying need not cancel each other out.

It's now something like early evening if I'm correct and we can suggest the hunt to the elves this evening. But the Ulfings should be approached too. So the hunt probably wouldn't take place the next day (gametime) anyway? That means the Borrim can use the next day to spy as well as they can and the hunt would be the day after that the earliest?

Ang: what do you think about the schedule?

Nogrod · 02-09-2007, 12:52 PM

Well, it was my bad to begin with... I just thought it would look naive if the thing Fastarr knew would relate to the person that had been just given to him... Kind of fairy-tale niceness where the pieces of the puzzle just clik to their places with the first try.

And as I made Fastarr say, I'm ready to make him go for Khandr's errand to meet Ulwarth or to see this drunkard servant... or something else.

Khandr decides.
