Nerindel, I thought to follow your lead concerning Lespheria's encounter with Naiore. AT the time I moved things along, by request, I did not know exactly where other characters would arrive to, by way of precise location.

Everdawn, happy for that to proceed between Avanill and Barrold. Think it best if you write the exchange and I'll work from there. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

As for Barrold, he knows he doesn't like the shape of things and he suspects that all that bounty is going to vanish into thin air. For that reason, Barrold will decide to cash in on what he does have, Naiore and the price on her head. It's all a matter of greed and cowardice.

If he cashes in, he gets out with a haul in the hand plus he's freed of any worse trouble than what he's already found. Being so close to Rivendell, in the company of a woman he fears, resents, loathes and needs, results in a treacherous creature that Barrold becomes.

Hope that helps.

I'm running short on time. I'm conscious that things may only start flying about once I'm flying about. I hope I don't stall things too much. I'll do my level best not to.
