Thanks Tevildo and Folwren, it really helps!!

I can't help feeling sorry for poor Athwen, my heart actually ached for her when I read your last post Folwren *sniff*

Great job!! I'll get mine up asap.

Just trying to come up with ideas, considering I'm not doing anything... -_- I didn't bother plugging in a save because there were, like, three Bregoware saves in a row... and I actually can't get online any earlier in the day than I'm posting now. Patience! Worry not, I'll get her a post up!

Here's what needs to happen now:

The pulley rope on the eastern side of the river needs to be attached to the pulley. Rædwald will then tie his horse to the western ferry dock and pole the ferry-barge back across the river as all those left on the eastern shore use the pulley contraption to get the barge back to the eastern shore.

Can someone please write that - that the ferry-barge gets safely to where we all are at the eastern ferry dock.

Then, either that same writer can write a short paragraph on how we all load on and get the the other side . . . or I can do that if you wish . . .

Yes - please take advantage of Rædwald's having got over to the other side with the rope and get your group across the river . . .

Leod and Brand have done a little search of his section of the village and have now come to where Brand's three companions are staring at Athwen. I sort of carried your character along . . . and if you need anything changed at all please let me know . . .

I might have some time writing this weekend. Let's just make deals about who writes and what.

How about, if I write Raedwald safely to the eastside: depicting it from Sythric's point of view? Undómë might make a post for Raedwald in the ferry as the others pull him back, or something - and then to dry his clothes in the fire & eating?

We should eat - one post, two posts? And then someone writes us over the river? If everyone makes even one post this weekend, we'll be over the river on Sunday (RL).

Other ideas? F.ex. should we haste and just run for it? I wouldn't like to just rush over, for we have discussed or revealed our thoughts quite little lately...

Well Nogrod, I beg to differ. I think that we have idled enough and if we have expressed our thoughts very little it's because we have all been busy to make good posts. I don't want to hold the game back and I fear we (Bregowares) are doing so a little bit. I'd say let's get a quick lunch and across the river in two-three posts and on our way again.

Come on guys, I already want to start arguing with those little (or big) brats from Rohan proper that think they are too good to be in the company of us outlanders . Of course, Osmod would never put it that way.

Suits me perfectly. What if I write Raedwald back and say that people eat & Raed gets his clothes dry and eats too?

Would someone then write an "eating and packing" post?
EDIT: just saw Eostre already eating and kind of having it there. So anyone, put somewhere here or not...

And Farael, would you like to write us on our way (or someone else)?

If we have something like a plan, we will get this smootlhy and fast...

I guess that there, between now and (possibly Farael's) "let's go over" -post, there would be space for anyone's additional contributions... which at least I would very much like to see.

I make a save to bring Raedwald back and describe us all at the fireside. Take it away from that on... I'll be filling the save late today (GMT).

EDIT2: Undómë. It might be good, if we would have something from you too concerning Raedwald (and Meghan). Now as I can't make any rollcall to eat something for everyone, it looks funny if it is just I who make Raed. back and away...

Thanks! I actually feel sorry for her myself. . .

I've put up another post. Athwen is rather heart broken, but she's doing her best to rally her spirits and not look it. I think it won't be hard convincing her to ride with you, especially since Leod is going with you.

Tevildo, I've replied to your PM, and I've mentioned that they know each other in the post. However, it might seem like my PM and my post contradict each other - them not being too close or not knowing each other too well, especially with Athwens apparent delight seeing him (for a second). But. . . you must understand, it's got to be a relief to see a familiar face, even if it is of someone that she doesn't know well.

If I need to change anything, anyone who thinks so, please let me know.

-- Folwren

Edit: Ha. It just occured to me that Athwen hasn't told her name. . . hope that's not too troublesome.

Actually - I'd prefer to write for Rædwald . . .

So, let me make the post that gets him and the barge back to shore

Then, some one please get us all onto the barge and moving across the river

Why don't we do it both?

I'll write about what happens at the east side ie. how we get Raed. from there, and you write, how he felt and what he did? (That kind of was my intention in my earlier mail - I wasn't in anyhow suggesting to "write Raedwald"!!! Sorry if I expressed myself poorly)

Actually , I'm done with the post - and it's mostly an action oriented post. We will have plenty of time on our ride south to meet the Wulfhamers for the more personally oriented posts from him and Meghan.

I did not go into as much detail as might have been written, but the priamry purpose of the post is accomplished. The barge is now loaded . . . everyone needs to get on board.

Meghan and Eostre, since they are the smallest of the group, should probably sit in the center, while the four men work in unison to pole the barge across the river. Or perhpas one of the women can sit nearer the back and encourage the horses not to panic as they move along.

Ok. I'll just have to rethink my post to fit with this new situation... I'll fill my save, but it will take some time.

Just a bit sad though, I had all those details thought over and written once... Well served as a good practise for me...
