Ha ha, I could imagine the two chasing each other around the ring, Thornden trying to get away and Erbrand trying to brain him with a staff! Erbrand really wants to fight Thornden and has insisted on it, so I'm sure there would be no disgrace if Thornden accepts the challenge. However, if he declines... *rubs his hands in anticipation*
Woah! Wrong picture! Wrong picture!

Quite humorous, mayhap, but Thornden won't run. He's not a coward, for goodness' sake! He'll ask not to fight, but if it comes out that they have to, he'll fight him.

As for a later challenge...well...I WAS going to tell you what Thornden would do, but I'm going to let you wait and see.

And in any case Erbrand and Harreld have to pull it together enough to beat Garstan and Stigend first before Erbrand can start thinking about meeting Thornden in a fight...

A question on people's priorities.

I seem to have quite a rush on the rest of the week + the weekend so which one would you prefer? That you get more detailed Q-staff fights even if the last one would then come sometime next week (I might be able to write a couple of them between now and Monday and the last ones would then be written sometime next week) or that we'll get done away with the Q-staff fight a.s.a.p. when I could write them off before Monday but they would be a lot less detailed and kind of general descriptions of how the fights went?

If you have enough interaction between you going on I'd prefer the first one but if you feel you'd like to move forwards more quickly the second option is okay to me as well.

In any case I think Erbrand should answer Harreld before I go on writing the fight with Erbrand and Harreld involved...

Should I read this that Erbrand wishes to go for Stigend and suggests Harreld should take on Garstan? I mean that was the exact way I thought Stigend and Garstan would think about their "division of labour"; Stigend going for Erbrand and Garstan trying to handle Harreld...

If Stigend is the nimbler of the two, yes you read it correctly.

Anything could scarcely be funnier but it might be more appropriate. I'm kidding! I don't mean to indicate any lack of bravery on Erbrand's side!

Nogrod, I love your detailed posts. At the same time, I'm terribly impatient. So I'm not a good person to ask if either you should write longer posts and take a longer time or if you should get it all over with but with less detail. I'd be happy either way. That does not help, does it?
