Nerindel - welcome back! And good luck with your move - may it go smoothly!
Looks like I need to do an edit to my last Benia post: I had only five orcs.

I guess there are twelve, so I will change that. (
Pio - if you have moved my post over to Fan-Fic already, please replace it with the edited version. Thanks!) As for when Naiore plans to cut Barrold & Benia loose, it will have to be after they get to the other side of the mountains & Barrold manages to come up with the horse that he owes her. I'm thinking probably two more posts from me should do it.
