Abduction in Edoras Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

:P

Anywho...

lmp has moved ahead to the next morning...great!

The trip to Sorn's estate takes about 8 hours, and that's by wagon. By foot it is probably a good day and a half to two days, a-horseback you could probably get there in six hours.

The catch, of course, is figuring out where you're going. A man wanders the fair with information you need, but you don't know that, and he's not inclined to get involved in such high affairs. This is the first challenge for the Searchers.

The first challenge for the Kidnappers and the Hall-folk is slightly different. It will be Osfrid and Muriel's spy mission, each groups working against the other. Kidnappers, (Sorn and Scyld particularly) could you establish the whereabouts of the items Lin had on her? The knife, doll, and basket are all things Lin is going to wish to recover, and we'll need to know where they are, (at least here, if not in the story thread. I'm not picky about it.)

I know I haven't been much in evidence yet, but I am about. Do plop Gurth on your list.

The time change means it'll look forced to finish my conversation with Sorn, but blast it, I'll resort to a flashback.

Whoopsie...fixed it.

Is Gurth's short term memory up to the challenge of a flashback?

Anguirel · 05-26-2006, 01:58 PM

Perhaps he has hidden depths...

Ha!

Maybe, Anguirel, you could write a post and have someone stick it in their post wherever you need it? It's not so nice, but it's better than a flashback.

I decided not to dwell on remembrance of things past after all. Gurth is giving Grendel walkies.

A side-note: in real life I'm absolutely terrified of very large dogs...

LMP, just noticed something: Lin is Lothiriel's cousin, not her niece.

Fixed.

Oh. Sorry. I didn't realize I was complaining. I was just meaning to ask for help. Feeling a little lost and desperate, that's all. I'll go read that post again. Thanks!

Absolutely! It can be changed if you want. I just didn't know what to do with all the loose ends, and the best solution I could think of was to start the new day. If you need me to change anything or delete a post, please say so.

Okay, I've reread the first post. In that light, I should either severely edit or delete my little conversation-with-Haleth post. Or so it seems to me. What do you think?

And as for moving this little adventure along, I'm content to follow Hama's and Jenny's lead. What a relief!

Pity, Malfoidacil, as most of them are very sweet.

We all fail to appreciate certain vital pleasures. Ah, I can't wait for my mother's Sunday roast...
