OK I may have to change what I have posted (other than Elfride's actions) I know so just say if I have messed up. I have roped in Leoflic and Edhener as "theatre sisters"
and sent Thomas and Mayonette to support Hama. I have only had Elfride wonder about what is going on becasue I don't know what the situation is with the villagers and samuel. Obviously we can get on quicker if there is a trustworthy Reeve ( anglo saxon term for a senior local official appointed by the king) who will accept the word of the General that they were the victims not the assailants of the original attack, and take the henchman into custody. Obviously we may not get away that simply.
I have a fairly busy week so if you want to assume that Hama has given them the truth (but not automatically the whole truth) that is fine. If you need me to poat what he has actually said then let me know and I will add it to this post.
Let me know if you want m to undo anything ..but I did think it might give thomas and Mayonette a chance to have an interesting conversation...
