Elempi, did you know that Thornden addresed what's-his-name once more? Just wanted to let you know, in case you'd missed it.

lmp: if you think it's 24, then it is 24. I'm okay with it.

What is your impression of the number of soldiers Eodwine had back in the days? I've had an impression lord Athanar would have something like around 15 men with him (not more than 20 anyway, preferably less than that). Any decent sum total we could come up with would be cool for me.

Also, if you have an idea for Stedford, just go for it. I think he's not anyone's character yet and you have written the most for him thus far.

Although I'm not sure if they are on any stables as such. I think there was a post somewhere there where it was said they were behind the stables outside (or then I'm wrong) - anyway it would actually be quite lavish if lord Faramund who has something like 20+ men & their horses would have stables for over fifty just in case someone dropped in with so many men...

But that's a minor detail.

So everyone, just go for it! We do have an interesting situation here in our hands...

Posted again!

Nog, let me know if I'm contradicting stuff either of us has written earlier. I keep forgetting. Also, if anything looks wrong, tell me in that case too.

Still have to come up with something for the two walking catastrophes...

It looks pretty good to me. So no problem there.

About the two walking catastrophes... well, just don't make them kill anyone.

I was thinking more along the lines of acquainting themselves with local serving girls...

That's a lot better idea... although I don't think there is much time for it anymore at the moment - well you can write on it in retrospect for sure (I'm actually quite keen to hear that story ).

Yup. I thought they'd have disappeared somewhere when they found out they are not invited to the negotiations and they'd be coming back now hearing all the noise. I will post today or tomorrow, depends on my inspiration and the clock.

I'm coming up with at least 12, at most 15 under Eodwine.

I'll check out your latest post, Foley. These instant email notices are just a wee bit dicey, apparently....

It would appear Stedford has been just waiting to be asked such a question, considering how many words he spent on it! :P

I meant the stables back at Scarburg, more than currently at Faramund's. Because now there are probably on the order of 40-50 horses at Scarburg all told... Folwren and I discussed this some a while back and we decided to just keep Javan helping out.

Sorry, my bad reading...

lmp: let me know if I made it too easy on my last post? I understand if you wish to make it harder, but then again we'll never proceed unless things start happening - and I think we need some goodies for the later parts of this game as well...

Any editing on behalf of Stedford will be made as soon as you voice them...
