The Fellowship of the Fourth Age (Part 1): A New Beginning Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

There. I foolishly filled in a save during the wee hours of the morning. But what can I say? I was in the mood for writing- apparently I can only stay awake when everyone else is asleep...

Anyways, Shae has taken down one slaver near the trench. She's been injured from her fall off the horse- a gash in the forehead, a broken wrist, and a bruised rib, maybe cracked. It's nothing too serious, but it'll definitely slow her down. She's on her way to help the women and children as well, but since she's on horseback, she might end up beating the other men there.

I'm not sure what happened to the NPCs of the cavalry- Shae didn't really pay attention to them. If you haven't noticed, she can be a bit self-absorbed at times.

I'm sure some have done damage as well, several others were most likely killed. Most of them had little experience on horseback, and would have just as much trouble staying on their horses as Shae.

Alright. I just wrote a terribly long post - a page and a half, I think. Gracious. Anyhow, in this post, Athwen spotted:

1. The group of slavers that had followed her and fallen into the trench fighting
2. The horsemen of the ex-slaves and
3. The footmen that Hadith had been with. Also
4. Imak and his men behind the lines fighting with
5. Carl's group of archers. She also spotted
6. The group of horsemen riding in search of the women and children.

She did not see Lindir and his archers, and if there were any other ex-slaves on foot, she didn't see those. Whatever extras we have will probably need to start attacking Imak and his group and help Carl and his archers.

As for Athwen herself, she and Hadith are up at the sheltered place where the women and children are. Pio, Athwen's pretty shaken up as you can obviously see, and I'm afraid Rog's getting the brunt of it at this moment. Now that she's exploded, she can probably be calmed down pretty quick and told to dry up and then she'll be good to go, pretty much.

But, really, she can't very well go binding wounds with sand and dirt flying all over the place. The most she can do is stop blood from flowing. If she dressed it, it would be useless because dirt and stuff getting into it would cause the wounds to fester.

If anything should be changed in my post, let me know.

Carl's latest save is now filled in.

Durelin · 11-29-2006, 07:50 PM

Apologies to everyone! I'm finally really getting into my college apps, and I've got a slew of projects and calculus. I also realized that there was one college application that is due...Friday! Luckily it's only about half an hour away from my house, so I can maybe take some of my paperwork there myself. Anyway, just wanted to explain my continued absence from posting in this important time, battle and all.

I will do my best to post tomorrow as long as things go well with that darn application.

Sorry I didn't get back to you, Folwren, about Khamir and Adnan and Vror. But perhaps Athwen riding by would have been too convenient.

I finally managed to edit those earlier posts. I really hope I have more time tomorrow to get up Azhar's response.

Nogrod · 11-30-2006, 06:27 AM

I've filled my save for Hadith too. Poor boy seems to be pretty mixed up...

Tevildo · 12-01-2006, 12:28 AM

Save filled for Azhar.

*************

LATER EDIT: I changed my earlier post for Azhar so that she actually makes a promise to Aiwendil. Here. I've also put up another post....
