About Edwin? probably not since she has got to that point where nothing could be worse than what she is fearing. However she may get a bit freaked because of all the stories seeming to be true unless the idea of elf magic is too appealing .. but I'll wait to see what you are posting now first..

Should we have the characters stay put for the night? Or push on toward Bree?

Durelin · 03-15-2011, 11:12 AM

I think I'll have Edwin wake up a little or show signs of improvement or whatever to help the others feel like they can move. And I'm thinking Karl will just want to get them back to their parents before the parents come running with torches and pitchforks...

Will probably post again today. Yay for spring break!

And I think Karl's the one who's going to be really freaked.

Thanks Mith and Evinyatar for the fun!

Blimey.. I have just lost my post to wretched explorer crashing again.. It hates me.

I managed to savage teh bit I could see when it froze... But it was just a post for Jessamy answering Willem. I thought I'd post for Jessamy's brothers too later - they did hear the scream and now I think the fire will attract them. They may well have pointy things of all descriptions on their cart. But Bryn will get there first and is least likely to overreact!

OK i'll go and redo my post. While I still remember.

Oh and Dury, you know how much I have enjoyed this despite the evidence of my posting count but since the tardiness meant we got Master - E - back I don't regret it.

Envinyatar · 03-15-2011, 11:57 AM

Awwww...shucks...*blushes

Just to let you know, since we are moving on to Bree, Jess will never find out she has been keeping company with a wandering Beorning . . .

Mithalwen · 03-15-2011, 12:25 PM

Ah well that depends on the extent of Willem's honesty cos she has just asked him a direct question, pert little miss that she is, I'm thinking Karen from "outnumbered" a few years on...

Also it must be nearly night now - won't he just turn into a giant teddy?

That should have been salvage...at least I hope so!

Durelin · 03-15-2011, 07:18 PM

I've taken the liberty of suggesting that Willem seems more 'wild' in the evening than earlier in the day, early affects of the coming night...let me know if I should get rid of that idea...though that is of course only Karl's perception

Feel free to take liberties to stall them or whatever else. And it certainly will be interesting when/if Jessamy's brothers show up!

Envinyatar · 03-15-2011, 08:33 PM

I've made it early night if that works for you all. Willem has excused himself and is going out to 'check out' the perimeter.

I suppose if Jess peeked out one of the little windows, she (and Karl, too) might see something odd leaving the camp site and patrolling in the shadows of the trees.
