I put a post about Mellonin into that very same slot I had used for my nonconformist comment. Gee, it did come in handy.

What will we do now that there are no saves to be filled in??

Oooh, good. That congo line of saves was getting really crazy.

And I'm very proud of your non-conformist posting, Helen.

Let's post without saves! YES! That's a good plan. Hopefully I can get one up tonight...Wednesdays are my free nights.

Ripped out the last paragraph where Nethwador returned to Taitheneb. So Nethwador and Bella are still at the battleground.

Gwyllion's dead??

...Really?

Oh...

*cries softly*

But...anyway...great posts, everybody. I'm getting quite caught up.

I plan on keeping Erebemlin's involvement at the battleground minimal; his heart is back with Taitheneb and Mellondu-Amroth, and he will return to them as quickly as he may.

Most of Mellondu's energies right now are involved in keeping Amroth subdued and submerged.

Amroth is quite annoyed about this, but he has pushed the boy's body perilously close to death, and realises he is walking a fine line between the the wreckage of his quest at Tharonwe's hands, or the final end of his quest at Mellondu's death. He is laying low. If he tries hard to resurface, Mellondu's fever will spike into delirium.

I would guess that Liornung and Ædegard will be with Erebemlin helping Leafa? I left room for that, or tried to.

Erundil is at odds, at the moment. He may be the only person there with a somewhat objective view of things.

I don't imagine that they would want to bury poor Gwyllion in the swamp; they would want to get her to dry ground. The horses, however, have been run to the limit of their endurance; they must rest. If I were leading the company, I'd give them a full day, perhaps two (and I'd be annoyed with Amroth and the elves for pushing them.)

Given that it is winter, December, the ground will be hard in many places and they would have to search for a very sunny spot if they were to bury Gwyllion; a cairn might be a better option.

However, since it is December, keeping Gwyllion above ground for a day or two in the freezing temperatures won't be a problem; I imagine they would shroud her in a blanket and perhaps tie her onto a horse (unless they can cut some branches somewhere and make a travis?)

Between burying Gwyllion, keeping Mellondu alive, and getting everyone else treated and healed up, the band has quite a lot to do. I doubt they'll take the time to bury the twenty dead merlocks? And the other twenty merlocks are still at large (although those are now well-fed, having consumed their fallen companion, and will be even better fed once the band leaves the battlefield.

Yeah. I took advantage of that in my last post.

Nethwador can return to Taitheneb in your next post, if you wish it, or if you would like it better I can add to my post that he leaves to go with Taitheneb. Whatver you prefer...?

I just wanted to put forth my ideas about the upcoming conflict that will arise between Ædegard and Argeleafa, for littlemanpoet's approval.

When Ædegard tells Leafa that he cannot marry her, due to the lack of a hand, she, being such a meek, timid, submissive girl, will give in, though sorrowful. They can be miserable for a time, and then Liornung will find out what's going on and he will take on the role he's had for a long time: the fiddler who's forever fixing up affairs between two young lovers. He might not fix things (right away?), but he'll certainly talk with both of them.

Will this contradict anything you had in mind? Is the idea all right in itself?

Beautiful posting, everyone. I'm sure Helen's awfully proud of you as a leader would be, and I'm awfully proud of you all as my fellow soldiers!
