And talk about leaving a completely wrecked Aeron.

Hoo boy!

Yes.

Has the Osanwe racking of both Aeron and the merchant happened yet? Or did that not happen?

Uh.... I glossed over the bit with the merchant. I'd call that one an almost but not quite; there was enough to wint he battle but no sifting. Yet.

Aeron-- not yet.

And it doesn't look like it'll happen tilBella and Argeleafa are recovered OR they have a serious breather in the meantime-- which I doubt. Once Amroth is on Tharonwe's trail, he won't quit.

But I have to think all that through!

I am unexpectedly home for the weekend-- sick as a dog, again-- and I have a to-do-list which contains the Amroth-Tharonwe confrontation. But I don't wanna rush it, or it'll be.... well, rushed. It needs percolation & inspiration. (Prayers for inspiration gratefully accepted.)

Everybody else dive in, please! Reactions, emotions, plot twists, left-fielders...

Actually, Immy, Taitheneb was "working" on both Gwyllion and Aeron during the mellee, so they have a bit of a link established-- Aeron could figure that out, and build a friendsihp with Taitheneb. So could Gwyllion. Might come in awfully handy. He's a good ally to have.

Whoosh!

Missed that conversation...cable went out for most of Thursday night and Friday I had a really long-lasting meet...sorry about that.

The only reason I don't want Bella dying...well, it would take me out of the game entirely, as she is my only character.

However...

I honestly think though that if anything were to happen to one of the other captured ladies, and Bellyn somehow escaped unscathed...she'd feel rather guilty. I'm also very uncertain of how she would react to just...well, being saved altogether.

Must think this through...

The ONLY reason, Aylwen? *glances at Nethwador*

Helen, thanks for the suggestions! I'd like her 'fate' to differ from Mellonin's enough so it isn't exactly the same, but not so different that it's blatantly unrealistic (a completely different happening for each lady, as if it had been planned for years... might be odd). I also don't want anything that might permanently hinder her abilities as a housewife... unless there's going to be a change of mind from one side or the other and there's not going to be a wedding in the future.

But I don't want to be taking too much control here...

lmp?

Thanks for the feedback and willingness to even consider (!) this.

Okay, Immy, go ahead with sending Aeron and Gwyllion out to talk. They'll have to do it in secret, or in frank disobedience of orders, because with now three women captured, everybody else will be very cautious indeed.

After that.....

one captive will die
one will be defaced
one will be injured
one will escape unscathed.

I'm not saying who, what, so that you'll have something to (ahem) look forward to.

Thanks much!

Oops...so maybe I forgot a few really good reasons.

Ooo, suspense! YAYNESS.

However, I need to re-read the game thread. I have no idea who the members of the other group are.

*hides from glaring looks* Yeah....well...*mumbles*, or at least all the parts with Taitheneb.

I'll try to have a post up today. Doubt it though. My Modern Mythology teacher assigned us four chapters of the Sil, On Fairy Stories, and C.S Lewis's On Myth to read in a week (the last two we have to write a journal entry to compare the two). I finished the Sil in a day, have to do the other two, and I have Geometry homework. And the worst thing is that I have to do this on Saturday and Sunday. *sniffs pathetically*

Feel better soon, Helen...
