What?! why is he doing that? Hands off Thornden, if Erbrand didn't know Thornden would beat him to a pulp he would give that soldier a piece of his mind! I'm going to have to keep my eye on your character Folwren.

Excellent editing with your post Elempi! My hat's off to you and Fea for your work.

I give him the credit. I've been in meltdown stress mode and wouldn't have come up with dust if he hadn't helped me along with it.

I'm merely concerned Degas will snuff it and Eodwine and Saeryn will need help. Of course I don't intend for him to snuff it, I intend for him to get married and produce little redheads. He needs to learn how to plow a field properly. Boy's been spoiled.

Of course I also don't intend to actually write any of these events, I intend to follow him to the edges of his lands and leave him there with the promise of a future, thence retiring from his story and getting to work on a novel that's been incubating since summer.

Nog - would you have time to write the post for the boys? I'm going to be awfully busy this week...

You simply MUST let me read some of that when you have it written. I LOVE reading new stuff and also (watch out) LOVE offering advice and encouragement.

Sorry to rain on your game, Noggie, but the three way quarterstaff fight seems unworkable to me. I suggest a play-in round by non-soldiers and less experienced soldiers instead. Up to you, of course.

Hm. I'll have to remember that if I ever write one of my incubating novels.

It definitely would be interesting, Nogrod, but something savage, I would guess. Just think...two decide to take one out, so they're fighting him, and then one gets more caught up in the fight than the other, and the other who is not really fighting at all, decides to put out his short-term ally...

I can picture it in my mind but I can't put it on paper. It just seems like a whole arena for treason and back whacking (opposed to back stabbing, you know )

Hm... Perhaps I should send you the pieces of unfinished projects I've been ignoring for a while and you can give me ideas on how to finish them.

Haha! That's funny. Thornden wouldn't beat him to a pulp at all...not even half way there.
As a matter of fact, it would be extremely interesting if you wanted to make a deal out of this and have Erbrand say something. I think it could be fun.
But, really, Thornden was just being a gentleman like he always is.

I guess both Garmund and Cnebba would have at least some nice toys made by their fathers which they would have to put in risk to counter the bet then...

Or do you think the bet should be immaterial, like "you'll be our servant for a week" or something? That might be fun as well.

Oh, I have no idea. The only posession that Javan has that either of them would want would possibly be a knife of some sort (if he's allowed to have one). He owns really very little. He has his horse, but that may be a bit extreme, and I guess he might be said to own his own bow, but the boys probably have their own, too.

The idea of the servant for a week (or whatever else you come up with) sounds interesting and fun. Either that or the knife, I guess. Or if you come up with some other toy or something, then do it. I'll probably be happy with whatever you come up with.

This make reading the game and seeing how Thornden does even more interesting for me!

That might not be a bad idea, Folwren. Just like with Crabannan, Erbrand can get overly defensive with Thornden. I think I'll run with that idea, thanks Folwren!
