Thanks, again,
Hilde!
Those were very difficult posts to write.
I will try very hard to have my new Save filled in by Friday.
****Also, just a quick reminder,
everyone:
As of today, we have only
3 WEEKS in which to finish our story, in order to get it done by Sept 30!
****
HERE is our outline:
Outline for the Deaths of Rauthain & Kaldir
Barrold reunites with Naiore.
Naiore discovers Kaldir’s feelings for Benia & decides to make use of them.
Kaldir reconciles with both Rauthain and Amandur. Amandur suggests that Kaldir see Léspheria to see if she can help heal the damage done by Naiore to his memory and mind. Kaldir agrees to seek her out, but the meeting never takes place.
In a separate conversation, Rauthain and Kaldir talk over Raven Falls and events surrounding Kaldir’s father. They part in friendship.
Kaldir encounters Benia who has just left Dúlrain. She takes Kaldir to a secluded terrace and apologizes to him for her behavior at the river. He accepts her apology and seizes the moment to speak to her of his feelings for her. He asks her to become his wife.
Stunned, Benia does not give him an answer, but asks for some time to think. She runs into Gilly and tells her of her conversation with Kaldir, then she walks off on her own.
Benia is captured by Naiore and Barrold Ferny.
After a while Gilly notices that Benia has not returned. She runs into Kaldir and tells him about her concern for Benia's safety. He sends Gilly back inside to look for her indoors while he has a look around outside.
Kaldir is captured and corrupted by Naiore. She leaves him to wreak what damage he can and flees to the south, bringing Benia and Barrold Ferny with her.
Sometime later Gilly notices that now Kaldir is missing, too. She encounters Rauthain and tells him. He decides to go after Kaldir, ostensibly to see if he can help.
*****WE ARE NOW HERE *****
Gilly also tells Dúlrain who manages to ditch Gilly (for her own safety) and takes off after Rauthain
Kaldir murders Rauthain. Dúlrain shows up immediately afterward, as Rauthain is dying. Kaldir and Dúlrain draw swords against one another. Kaldir allows Dúlrain to strike a fatal blow against him.
As he is dying, Kaldir tells Dúlrain where Naiore is going and where Dúlrain must go in order to find Naiore and rescue Benia.
Gilly, frustrated at being ditched by Dúlrain, comes across Toby as she is leaving to find Benia and the missing Rangers. Toby insists on accompanying her. The two hobbits come upon Dúlrain just after Kaldir has died.
From a distance, Naiore senses something wrong and sends Barrold back to check on Kaldir. He finds him dead, and barely escaping the pursuit of the rangers, reports the news to Naiore. Naiore awards Barrold Benia as payment for services rendered and cuts him loose.
Dúlrain veers away from Naiore’s trail to follow Barrold Ferny and Benia. He catches up to Ferny and kills him, rescuing Benia.
Naiore continues her flight south until she knows she can no longer outrun the pursuit. She stops at Gladden Field to make her final stand.
*****I don't have the outline for the End Game, but we all know pretty well what we have planned in regard to Avanill, Lespheria, & Amandur. *****
Let's rock & roll!
