Brand is patched up. I hope everyone likes "schmaltz"!

Sythric.....I hope to get to you tomorrow real time.

Ok. I thought of trying to write a short post today before yours, but then realized, it would have needed active part from Leod too. I don't think it was so important as to delay this because of it for one more day.

But to help you out with it, after the last effort of making a fast (and crazy) defence...

Sythric is on his knees, leaning towards the stone (less than waist-high, about: one where you just could sit on), kind of embracing it with his hands (he tried to pull himself up before everything was cleared), his cheek against it. He's breathing heavily but slowly because of the effort but quite conscious. His wound is probably bleeding lightly again. (Leod surely has not been happy to find his patient on that position and making such an effort anyway...

)

Do what you will with the Healer's analysis - especially if you have some pre-agreement or plan with Arry. I still like the idea of opening the stiches and checking the organs, but as you wish. I have no strong opinion about that.

Use Sythric as you see fit. I'll try to post something in reaction to your post then.

No pre-agreement or plan with Arry. Just me winging it.

OK, how about if the Elvish healer opens up the stitches to check the wound and discovers a trace of poison that was left behind and a tiny sliver of the iron blade? I'll make sure the small piece is very well hidden so Leod doesn't come off as a "negligent healer".

When I do a post, I'll definitely use your description of Sythric from the discussion thread. Maybe Sythric's mind is beginning to blur a bit under the impact of the poison, and that's why he kind of blanks out for a little at the end, despite his valiant effort to rise and to secure his bow?

I'll go ahead with this later today unless I hear something different from you.

Sounds good. And the poison idea - if it is put together with your idea of Sythric passing out - is just great because he has been doing that for the last day: passing out and then coming conscious again: on -off, in his dreams and memories, then in the present. The poison doing its work slowly and him fighting back every now and then.

But I don't think he will try anything with his bow anymore: he was afraid of an assault when he heard the elves' horses approaching and tried to make a stand (too great an effort, somewhat), but heard Dorran first and then realized the situation. So he'd be quite knowledgeable with the situation now... (Sorry if I misinterpreted your meaning and kind of said the obvious again)

I've explained Sythric's symptoms to Nevtaliel and also used the description of Sythric that Nogrod gave us.

Child, Nogrod -- if you want anything different, let me know. Otherwise, Child, it's all yours now.

Child of the 7th Age · 05-29-2006, 10:27 PM

Tevildo -

That was fine. Take a look at my own post and make sure I handled your character the way we discussed. If I need to change anything, let me know.

Nogrod -

The same for Sythric. If you want me to change anything, let me know.

Everyone --

Everyone's been doctored up. Now it's strictly up to Brand and Sythric as to how they pull out of this. (It seems as though Brand may already be reviving a bit!) I'll have the Elves depart in the morning once we know how both patients are.....

You guys have a great story going here!

Tevildo · 05-29-2006, 10:57 PM

Looks good to me. Thanks.
