No worries, I believe Leod and Incana are tending to her.

What are they going to do now, though? Are they going to just stay here where the attack was fought all night? Are they going to remount and head forward? They don't know for certain that they're out of danger, you know. But, on the other hand, they can't very well ride with some of the injuries that some of them have.

How many more miles to Edoras?

It is about a 5-6 day ride to Edoras.

I was planning on spending a few days Real Time letting the injured members of the group get back in some sort of shape to ride.

Then we'll head out again, and I think, in a very few posts arrive at Edoras.

At that point, the game will be nearly over - and all that will be left is for each gamer, as they wish, to write an epilog post of what happened to their character(s) following the meeting with the king. These last posts can take the character as far into the future as the gamer wishes.

And we should bury Raedwald! By that time, I would hope Sytric is conscious - I would love to write a post concerning the burial...

But anyhow. As Arry said, we have a few days (RL) to pick ourselves up, then we should go for it! I can send some nightmares during the uncosciousness, but those will not take the story forwards.

And Arry's post was from yesterday...

So just to clarify, We are situated ontop of the hill? I would love it if everyone was to post so we can all be consious and have some talk. Because my epilogue at the end may be fairly ho-hum if we can't get some sort of friendships going before the end.

I guess we are somewhere half-away the hill (as some people had to ride up to make the last fight - and as the easterlings had to wait for us to be on the hill before they attacked).

And that's a bad place to overnight, so we should move up to the shade of the oaks on the ridge (described in several posts). And there will be things to find- f.ex. Raedwald's lance (Sythric would want it - but they might discuss it with Meghan), all the arrows, all the easterling stuff from the bodies (some wealth there - who wants to turn greedy? ), etc.

So lots of things to ponder about. So please, get things moving. I can't do it, as Sythric has passed over.

I guess the party can't continue before the morning - and even then, we might have some damage-assessment to do... I think a fire would be necessary - just to get boiling water to help with the medicare. And Syhtric's last wine might go as well - to both drinking and to clean the wounds: that was the way they did in Medieval times! (Sythric wouldn't like it, but would understand the need)

Maybe - after the first aid - dragging the badly wounded up to the ridge (safer & more defendable) and getting the fire on then? Just a suggestion. Sythric's quite out of the game right now, and wouldn't be suggesting anything himself... I hope he wakes up tomorrow.

And thanks Child for the fun you gave us!

Undome:
You mention that no-one has died... I don't know if this is on purpose or not, but didn't Raewald die? If not, I think I killed him on my last post, I'll have to edit that
