I didn't have him badly injured, did I?

I'm putting up a save that I will fill in ... at least a couple hours if not sooner. In it, Athwen will be waking in a rather bad way. That is, in her disturbed mind set (the attack on her village has finally caught up to her again, and with the battle. . .things are at the extremes) she will have very bad dreams and wake herself and the entire camp (or at least those who are conscious enough to be awoken thus) with her crying and screaming. Now, I wouldn't generally tell you all what I was planning to do in a post, but I would like to see someone (I'm assuming that it will probably be a girl, but it doesn't have to be) run up to her and try to calm her.

I haven't decided if she's really going insane or not. I'll comfort you all and say that she probably isn't. She's just very overwrought right now.

Arry (or anyone else, but I'm most worried about Arry because he's the game owner), does this bother you? Having such a character?

I guess, we might have a save before that for Dorran looking after Sythric... I could have time tomorrow (a post in, about 18 hours from now), where I could do my part of it - Tevildo could then fill in the part of Dorran; either to start that common post, or to end it, ot to be at both sides? Or Dorran: if you are ready to post earlier than me, just go ahead! I'll adjust my post to your writing. I'll make the save anyhow. If you have time to write, put it here on the discussion thread, and I'll copy-paste it into my save...

And Arry: if you are feeling, that we should make haste, I think at least I have time tomorrow to write us on our way (we just leave a save to Athwen's nightmares, or whatever they turn out to be)? But I would be most happy, if someone else writes it, as I have to write this "Sythric going wild in his head" + addressing Dorran - post tomorrow anyhow...

This sounds OK with me - but can you jump your post ahead of my most recent one.

Thanks!

I've set it up in my last post that it's night time now . . . so go ahead with your own post . . .

Whoops. Sorry, guys. I thought everyone would be ready to move on for night.

I moved my post for you.

And what I wrote wasn't actually quite as . . . disturbing as I first was planning. For two reasons, really. . .I decided I didn't want to make Athwen a complete bother and nuisance and have every one despise her and think that she was going completely out of her head (it had entered my mind to have her do a sleep walking type thing. . .I've had my sister do it and it can be really weird and really disturbing) and I also didn't continue writing because I didn't know who it was who stepped up to her to see what was wrong. If I were sure that it were a girl character, I would have had Athwen turn towards her and cry on her shoulder and it would have been all very well and good, but I didn't want to put one of your guys into such an awkward situation.

So, I've stopped it where if you want, someone can take the place of the person standing next to Athwen still not knowing what's wrong, or we can pass on to morning and I can explain in my next post that she went back to bed and whatever else.

And I can always go back and edit if you want to see what else I had in mind (maybe). . .so long as I know who that character is who came up to her.

Deleted my save, since the battle has been over for quite a while and I've had that save up for over three days now. I was gone during most of the battle, and quite frankly I didn't feel up to writing a huge post accounting for all that happened to Fion during that time.

[Farael]

Just wondering, will Child and her characters be back later?

I've put up a SAVE to respond to Folwren's post. If any other gamer would like to do this let me know and I'll remove it.
