Outracing the Flames Discussion Thread

Nope! It didn't go too deep as the Easterling that stabbed her was dying. She's just passed out.

There will be some work for Leod after this one is over...

But Valier: it might be more believable, if you went uphill riding Nay. It seems, that it's no small hill (but not high either) we're talking about. Otherwise Sythric - and possibly Osmod, Incana,... would have reached it much earlier than Vaenosa, and the situation might be a bit different?

[Valier]

Well she never made it up the hill if that makes a difference.....I figured you would be perhaps half way up. Nay was fairly quick in his attack and took off. If it really is that unbelieveable I can change it, but I would have to change a fair bit of it. Could we not perhaps make as if you others are just reaching the top as my last arrow flies? Then someone can fill in the part about if it hits or not. It may not and you others will have to pull the Easterling off Dorran.

If she never gets there, and just fires her bow from a good distance away, getting stabbed from behind by an easterling that is following his masters trail - then it should be ok.?

I guess it is Child's issue to decide, whether the arrow hits or misses?

My thoughts exactly!

We'll have to see about the arrow.......

[Nogrod]

Valier: Check my post. Does that kind of thing satisfy you? The dead easterling banged on you - it might be him - or his spear - or anything, that hits Vaenosa's back and eventually lends her unconscious...

Others should come along with these last moments! Sythric anyhow, wouldn't handle much anymore.

PS. Note to the tally: one more easterling dead by Athwen, and one by Sythric... We're getting professionals?

PS2: Filled my earlier save too...

[Nogrod]

Child!

Just a note - hopefully not wit-picking - but Sythric has "toughened leather breast-armour" on (mentioned on the start of the thread), so it would not be like you say:

his blade cut the edge of Sythric's shirt and sliced into the flesh below, leaving a trail of blood along the man's side.

Sythric surely is wounded, and badly - the lord Calimehtar probably had just hard and sharp blade enough, that it cut into the toughened leather plate. That would be believable - from close range.

But anyhow: Sythric is coming after you! The problem being, that he seems to be fainting in any moment from the loss of blood and shock, as these are only now getting the upper hand of him... Maybe some fury can be still evoked, maybe not.
