What do you think?

I happen to think that the vale is the exact critical location for the climax, otherwise it doesn't make much sense for it to have continuously cropped up.

And I think a battle of words is always fun, a battle of wills is always a challenge to write. For the deeds, are they past deeds or are they non-battle action deeds which will lead to consequences (or are the consequences those of actions we've already written)?

I had an interesting idea.

I don't care to specify. Let's see what the muse produces, eh? Maybe it'll be an interesting mix of all of the above, though I doubt there will be much in terms of battle action.

What's your idea?

I posted it, basically, on the story thread.

Hail.... and sleet and snow.

Big climax happens in the vale? I'm good with that as long as the vale is very very near the ocean....

I'm a bit puzzled about the timing-- is the (now unified) pursuing group very near catching Tharonwe? Or should we catch up to them as Tharonwe & co finds the vale? I guess it's time to locate the vale geographically. (fuzzy memory-- have we already done that or...?)

EDIT OK; reread the above list; keyword there is "chase".... OK. IT' will be good to have the groups unified again.

Glad to have you back again, Helen.

What a flippin' crazy story this has been, and almost completely because while I was de facto leader, I totally goofed up the geography, and we're dealing with the results of that.

What did we establish? That we entered the mountains between the 2nd and 3rd beacon hills? If so, we come out of the White Mountains above the sources of the River Gilraen. Did we talk about that before?

Or were we supposed to be near Erech?

Either way, we're not that close to the great water. In either case it's about a day's boat ride downstream to the Bay of Belfalas.

'K, I posted Indil's game, though not entirely how I originally intended. This can be taken any way you deem interesting.

I'm interested in taking this in at least two ways at once: as an imaginative game of "what does Indil want", or of "does Indil have second sight?", and perhaps something else too.

I like how this can work as a means of narrating the rescue attempt, and how the others find Indil and Raefindan. I like this! Quite an imaginative trick, there.

I'll try to find time to post soon.
