The others should be able to stop before the trap as they see what happens? It is against those that Joshwan, Beloan and Khamir are attacking - and thence it should also be one of those who got Athwen.

If Joshwan, Beloan and Khamir manage to engage one slaver each (and four are thrown over by our trap) and one would be taking Athwen, that would leave two slavers loose to do something nasty around there...

Regin: If you're not in haste, wait for a couple of hours. I got a nice idea for Ishkur and Gwerr and would have time to write it in an hour or about...

Nogrod --

Your post is great but I do have a problem. It doesn't make sense that Athwen would be rescued without her husband even showing his face. For one thing, if he didn't act quickly, he would probably be figuratively sleeping on the sofa for the next twenty years!

Could you possibly hold off a bit and let Dorran come and join in the fray? I'll invent some kind of excuse in terms of why he is arriving "late". As to what he should be doing, if you've knocked off all the available attackers, could he at least scramble to untie his wife? Surely they would have tied Athwen or knocked her out so she couldn't struggle away on her own. She's a pretty strong and athletic woman.

I do have a posting problem because this is Thanksgiving weekend --the second "biggest" holiday of the year. The house is stuffed with food and visitors so it's a little hard to get posts up quickly. I'll do one now for Azhar but push the save for Dorran forward. I'll try very hard to get to it late tonight but it may even be tomorrow till it's filled. Would that be alright?

Don't worry Tevildo! As I addressed you a couple of posts ago here, Hadith will not be able to save Athwen, at least alone (his adversary is just too big and experienced for Hadith to tackle by himself). Indeed, if no one comes to help, Hadith will die and Athwen will be carried away after that... so please, Dorran, anyone, help!

So I'm in no hurry, I just wished to get things moving and as Folwren showed the way, I took to following her. I surely am waiting for everyone to have their share of the battle, don't worry about that. I might post about the fight between the slaver and Hadith, but it will not be conclusive - unless to Hadith's defeat. And Foley should feel free to make her contribution on this thing too. So normal bussiness here, who gets to post dictates what happens (but I will surely be waiting for Dorran to appear).

Regin: I've posted for Ishkur and Gwerr, let me know if there is anything with Ishkur you don't feel at home with... Your turn then.

Yes, the holiday will slow me down as well. I won't have a chance to fill in that save for a bit.

Tevildo · 11-23-2006, 01:19 PM

Thanks, Nogrod. Sounds good.

I've filled in my save for Azhar. She's said some nasssty things to the departing Kwell but is feeling pretty lousy. I've also put up another save for Dorran.

Plus, Pio, I'd like to have Azhar say just a word or two to Rog. From your save, I don't know if you'll be in the middle of a conversation with Aiwendil that I'll be interrupting. If so, it would be easy to leapfrog that section of my post forward. Just let me know the best way to handle this.

Mwahaha! I'm going to go have to read that.

Today, being Thanksgiving itself, I might find it difficult to post anything, but I think tomorrow afternoon and Saturday, I'll have plenty of time. We're going to Grandma's house and at Grandma's there is nothing to do and direct access to the internet, so it really is wonderful.

However, I really don't know if I'll need to do another post for Athwen before she's rescued. I wasnt actually planning to, but things may not go as planned.

If I have time, I might write a short post on Hadith meeting the slaver in arms and losing badly... then Athwen, if she would be conscious after the hit she received, could help Hadith (and herself) in turn before Dorran arrives...
