How about if Osfrid is in cahoots with Sorn on this little bit of scoundrelism? We've already got it that Osfrid (if it's him) only goes as far as where the wall is; why? Because he has been ordered to go no farther, I was figuring. So Osfrid can actually see that Sorn is just out of sight of Eodwine and Garstan, and not at all far away. That way, when Sorn does his dagger throw, it's only a 10 foot at most toss, and maybe less, and while both Eodwine and Garstan are distracted by the surprise attack, Osfrid can act surprised and cry "What was that!" or something equally lame

and get in the way, assuring Sorn's escape from immediate danger. Thoughts?

Thanks for that though, Elempi!

I think it sounds pretty plausible.

So here's what the actions for Sorn will be considering this:

- Sorn gets notebook and walks down to see Linduial and gloat
- Horn is sounded.
- Sorn grabs Osfrid and tells him his 'plan'.
- Osfrid walks out halfway to talk with the rescue party.
- Sorn hides away to one side and hears something he doesn't quite like. Perhaps an evil internal monologue and then some dagger throwing.
- Osfrid and Sorn retreat. Sorn makes it known that Linduial is a liability.

Does this sound about right? I've drafted a post for part of this, so I can flesh it out more once there is an agreement.

EDIT: Looking over past posts I have realised that Linduial and Sorn have had very little interaction as far as WHOLE conversations. Sorn seems to spring in and out in an odd (and sort of suiting) way.

Perhaps we could have Lin and Sorn talk for a bit before he runs out to...uhh...stab more people? :P I don't know when we'll have another chance.

I'm game for a longer conversation.

Great!

I'll work up a post. I'll try to get it up as soon as possible so we can get on with things.

Perhaps Osfrid could interrupt Sorn, so he can go out to where he's summoned? Just another thought

Can't wait to see this post, Tara! I'd really like to see things start moving again.
