About the saddles...I figured that in Rohan, men would know what would be in a stable and what would be necessary and all, so at least one or two men could reasonable have run in and saved a few, I thought. If you think I'm wrong, we'll have to figure something else.

About Javan...I said earlier that I didn't care really what happened to him or if he's sent home...but Javan does, so he's giving it all he's got to stay there.

Oh definitely following it.

Good characterization, Foley. Javan is consistent if nothing else.

And suddenly Eodwine has had a thought I had not expected of him, and the plot makes yet another twist.

So before this current Day is over, Thornden and Eodwine will have one more exchange. Perhaps a PM post is in order, if we can accomplish it quickly? Or would you prefer to just post for Thornden and have me post for Eodwine and be done?

Let's do a PM post. I can do it quickly, I believe. I'll write the beginning...of Thornden coming to find Eodwine, and send it to you by PM. I've no idea what Eodwine has thought of, so I won't be able to go past Thornden arriving.

Alrighty. I believe I'm done for this Day.

littlemanpoet · 12-29-2007, 03:47 PM

As am I.

My plan, if there are no protests, is to skip to two weeks from this Day. Thus we will have to figure out just what it was Eodwine and Thornden ended up deciding about Javan, and what that means for the entire House. This also means that the next Day is going to be at Scarburg; in fact, I'd like to make it the very first Day at Scarburg, where the traveling party will find things far less desirable than hoped. As in the place looted, burned, and so forth when they arrive. By whom, is hardly prosecutable, but no doubt the local citizenry trying to gain at the expense of Sorn, or so they think of it, not willing to place too much trust in this new Eorl. Should be fun! Lots of planning and what-not to do.

Thoughts?
