Well, I'm find with letting the chaos begin, but I kind of unsure how to go about it.

I want to make a post for Deren first. Our idea with him is that he mistakes Murial for Lin. My question is, how does he manage to do that? First, let me get the facts straight:

Scyld and Lin agree to leave together.
Scyld lets Lin out of the cage.
He hears someone enter the house (is it Osfrid or Deren and his three men?)
Scyld puts Lin into the cellar and orders her to lock the door.

And that's where we are.

Should the person entering the house be Osfrid after all? Perhaps he could run down the stairs and see that Lin is gone. Maybe he thinks Sorn took her someplace and he decides to buy Sorn some time, and runs back upstairs and tells his girl friend lady to pretend to be Lin? If it's not planned that Muriel plays the part of Lin, I can't see Deren being fooled by her. For one thing, her normal way of speaking, as far as I can remember, is not very proper or high-bred, and for another thing, if some strange soldiers come in and mistake her for Lin and start to remove her, she's going to protest. Any woman would.

So, what do you all think? Is Alcarillo around to write and put in his thoughts?

As for Thornden, I think I'll wait on him until Elempi or Celuien post again to figure out where they are and what they're doing for certain. Unless, of course, someone thinks I should not wait. . .
