Hilde,

Yes, you're right. The archers will likely have to get in very close range or their shots would go totally off course. I had sort of envisioned archers darting out from cover and virtually running up to the mounted slavers in order to get in a shot.

Isn't Carl with the archers too? If so, maybe we can coordinate something.

Aiwendil, by the way, has gone back to try and help guard the women, children, and elders who are hiding in the boulders behind the camp. Anyone is welcome to join him.....

Hilde,

I really don't know myself where Kwell is. The last post I did with him left him helping Vror with the tunnel, but he's quite through with that by now, I'm sure.

Where do you need him? That's where he'll be.

No, really. Tell me where you need him and I'll consider. Pretty much any place will work. He has a dagger that Lindir gave him and knows how to shoot a bow, though he doesn't own one himself.

I'm not sure if this is the best time to post for Shae, but I'm leaving for Virgina on Wednesday, and I'm not sure how much internet access I'll have. I'll be back Sunday, but even then I won't have much time due to a heavy load of schoolwork which I'm afraid will only grow heavier through the first half of December (ugh). I will be sure to fill in the save sometime tomorrow before I leave.

A question: Aside, from Athwen, Dorran, and Shae, who else is on horseback? I know there's not a lot of us, but surely there is another rider I can mention in my next post.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 11-21-2006, 05:53 AM

I have mentioned a young man in my last post,who will be riding Carl's pony. An escapee who must have worked with horses on the plantation, I should think.

Child, yes Carl will be with the archers.

And Folwren, I will PM you around lunch time with a bit of an idea, if that is alright. Have to get to work just now.

Oh, yes, by all means. Go ahead. I usually pop in and out three or four times a day and see if anything new is happening.

(Hadith will be called to the first row)

I think he would be displeased, but Khamir would make sure he didn't argue, and has kind of taken him under his wing. Khamir is going to have to take more of the 'rear' because of his handicap, so they'll keep each other's spirits up. Adnan might speak up about it, though Khamir would help silence him. So, go with whatever you had in mind for Hadith, and then I'll probably follow up soon with a post for Khamir.

Brinniel - You could have one or two more riders as NPCs if you'd like. Rog's and Aiwendil's horses are still free, right? So, make some people up, if you'd like. I'd love to help if you need any, particularly since you'll be so busy and pressed for time. If you'd like, you could even simply toss in a couple names, and perhaps we could work out an extremely short bio for them later? Just to keep track of them. Unless of course they bite the dust...

I'd also just like to make note that my Thanksgiving break will, unfortunately, not be as free as I thought it would due to the death of a classmate...I may still have plenty of time, but things could also turn out even crazier than I expect them to be.

Folwren · 11-21-2006, 12:57 PM

I've been thinking about where Kwell would be. Adnan (Durelin's character) is 15, correct? And he was considered young for the job at hand, right? I didn't really read the post in which he was mentioned (sorry) and with the little glance that I gave it, I got the impression that he was grudgingly given permission. However, this may be because of his failure a few nights ago.

That being said - would Kwell be allowed to go out and help fight? He's only, what, 13? I forget. 12 or 13 anyway. I am not sure that he would be included in the young men asked to fight/ expected to fight / permitted to fight. Can I assume that he would be put back with the women and other children then? I would like an answer as quick as possible so that I could figure out my next post with him.

Thanks!

EDIT: A post script:

P.S. If knowing what I would prefer would help you decide, then let me tell you. I would prefer it if he had been told that he shouldn't fight and was sent rather unceremoniously (it would be in a rushed fashion because they would have been so busy, 'No, you can't fight, go along with you, boy.') to the place of shelter. Perhaps that'll help you make up your mind.
