A most commendable effort, Foley. You have set the scene well, and then started the action, allowing your own character to be hurt. What I especially like is how it's from Thornden's point of view, and the reader sees the whole thing through his eyes. Good stuff.

I'm glad Modtryth's not aware what's happening...

Thank you kindly, Elempi. I'm glad it passes...

Now, forward with you other writers!

oo ooh Exciting!

And a good way to bring Æðelhild back

LMP Æðelhild is on her way to find Falco, hopefully his injuries will be a good enough excuse for her to tag along. If he won't go back with her she'll just have to go along to make sure he makes it back in one piece kinda deal :P What do you think?

Ah!

Our healer returns just in the nick of time! Or, perhaps, a couple of nicks ahead of time. Welcome back, Nerindel. I've been thinking about you off an on lately. Glad you're back. Just one minor little thing: Your typing fingers seem to want to spell the Eorl's name "Edowine"

No big deal.

If someone wouldn't mind jumping in with their character to help Leof...

Welcome back, Nerindel!

Okay. We've (Celuien and I) made the two lads come almost to the present of the writing. The shout and the men running in the end of my last post refer to the outlaws getting ready for their ambush on the rescuers from the MH. So we're almost there...

I hope it suits you that the twins have been rounded up.

And lmp, where is lord Eodwine? Rounded up as well or free and hiding somewhere? Or will it be a surprise?

Foley & Firefoot: as I wrote in my bio for Stigend he has served as a man of arms when he was younger. He will try to help either of your characters tomorrow (RL) if no one else has had time to do that. So don't worry, the cavalry is coming at the last moment...
