Ok, save is up and Osmod is pretty upset.... let's hope Vaenosa does not take the spit too personal =D

Folwren · 03-21-2006, 11:50 AM

Oh, good. Glad to see you back.

Maybe Athwen can intercede for you, depending on what happened. (I haven't gone over and read it yet.)

EDIT: Save filled.

-- Folwren

Nogrod · 03-21-2006, 05:28 PM

I just got an idea.

How about, if we twist this a bit more still? (or are we running out of time?)

If we other Bregos, trailing Osmod and Fion, would not be so far behind, and would catch an eye of a twisted situation? Just, say, seeing figures in threatening positions to each other from somewhat far away?

Then our two veteran riders would come up with a quick plan to release O & F, and we would make a rescue-attack foursome? That would of course had to be a total disaster (hope no-one gets hurt physically)!

So we could try to run you down Wolfhamers? Coming from different sides all four, with lances pointed - and whatever we have, trying to make as much havoc and damage as possible to free our friends. Then we would just have to try to fade it in seconds, at the last instant, as we rush in between you all others and seeing you to be in good terms with each other... It probably is hard to stop your movement, when you're charging with full speed against someone just very near to you, enraged by your wish to save your friend?

This would probably take something like two posts (at least) from us to make the plan and to go for it. Probably everyone of us should have to write at least once before we are at you others.

How does it sound to you? I'm perfectly well with a more peaceful meeting too.

Maeggaladiel · 03-21-2006, 06:11 PM

Doesn't matter to me, as long as Fion doesn't get his throat slit in the process!

I'm trying to decide whether I should leave Fion unconcscious for a little while longer, until the other Bregos show up, or make him wake up very soon and find himself with a knife to his throat... Choices... Either way could be potentially humorous, and potentially dangerous.

Arry · 03-21-2006, 06:57 PM

I'll just remove my save, then.

Bregos, post as you wish.

Problem is you are supposed to have waited for quite a while.... and then we galloped towards the Wulfham camp when you have no reason to do so. Unless the Wulfham people decide to keep us trapped for a while, all this would be happening maybe even before you all leave the village!

Valier · 03-21-2006, 10:08 PM

I tend to want to continue with the story line. Save more good stuff for later to come.

I think we should be at least some what friendly after this quick squirmish. Well perhaps not Vaenosa....but who knows

That was just the thing I wondered - what is the time-gap between us? Maybe it's not believable, that we could see some trouble, even from a distance. I would guess we are something like 15 minutes behind you? Would that be well?

Maybe we just continue in a more peaceful manner?

But anyhow: we are now following Osmod's and Fion's tracks already (RL-wise), so we probably should wait (RL) a little for the situation to clear a bit, before we come in?

Has anyone ideas about it? We have the fresh track to follow by the lead of an excellent trailer (Raedwald), so we'll find our way. When we approach the trees, we would surely be more alarmed and come more slowly... but other than that?

Valier · 03-22-2006, 11:17 AM

I would like it if Arry posted then a few more from the other Wulfhamers and Farael then we should meet up at last.

Folwren · 03-22-2006, 12:16 PM

I have the impression that if the Brego's happened to come up on us Wulfhamers at this moment, the Bregowarians wouldn't wait very long to ask questions. Their two companions happen at the time to be, one knocked out with a knife at his throat, and another with a net over his head and well caught. Things would be bad if they came upon us just now.

So, what I think could happen, seeing as the gap needs to be filled up anyway - we Wulfhamers should have time to figure out our mistake and at least Osmod is at peace with us. I don't know what Fionn will be, at peace or war, depending on if he's still out cold or whatever.

And then, by the time the other Bregos come up, we aren't looking like we're about to kill their two companions.

Folwren · 03-28-2006, 08:17 PM

Nice post, Undómë.

What do you suppose. . .should I wait until Nogrod fills his save and the others catch up to them before they leave? Or, perhaps, to explain why the girls hadn't left yet, perhaps Raedwald thought it wasn't a good idea for Meghan to go riding off with Athwen to a group of savages who just ambushed their companions. That would seem reasonable. I don't think Raedwald would like Meghan riding off alone with Athwen, after all. Perhaps, to explain why we're two still there when Nogrod and Eowyn's characters arrive, you could add onto your post and have Raedwald say he didn't want them to go? Or, if you don't want to, I could go ahead and write a post and put it up after Nogrod's save that we did start riding off.

What do you think?

-- Folwren

Folwren · 03-31-2006, 02:26 PM

Naria - I've written a post (that I was planning to be a short one but it kind of grew into a lengthy one), but it didn't go much farther along than Undome's post, so it shouldn't bother your writing at all. I certainly hope not.

-- Folwren

Nogrod · 03-31-2006, 03:11 PM

Sorry. I won't be able to fill my post yet. It will probably be there in twelve hours. But as the story is already rolling forwards, that should be no problem.

The text is coming...

The next week, I'll have much more time than in these preceding two weeks, so I'll be posting again a bit more.

EDIT: Undómë: I'm afraid, there is something wrong in the beginning of your post for Raedwald. How can Raedwald be lifting the deer from the ground, if he has first ran after Meg, leaving it to S & E to study ("what is it?") and to pick it up? I guess the deer should be already firmly held in either Eostre's or Sythric's package as these three meet. You wrote, on Meghan's post, that while A, M & R were talking, S & E were already approaching them...
