Well, he noticed that Lithor was absent, so he is making assumptions based on his...not liking Lithor.

But in that case (that Thornden would probably speak up), perhaps it would be best for Coen to kinda give Thornden a look to encourage him to speak up (whether or not that's necessary), and Thornden can say what he knows.

That could be what the look is between them that is interpreted by Athanar as them not knowing if they were dismissed...

We might have to ask Legate to edit or place your/my post ahead of his, though, since he has written that Coen and Thornden are heading towards Hilderinc and Aflorgaed. :\ Not that it's a huge deal.

Legate, can you make Hilderinc and Áforglaed interact with Scyrr as well as Thornen and Coen? o(^^)o Otherwise, Scyrr will probably be out cold until nightfall. I already have a nightfall post written, but from the way this roleplay is going, it's going to be days (real-time based) till nightfall. As for Scyrr's injuries, let's leave it at this: Most of the injuries are internal, but Erbrand also laid open Scyrr's throat in the heat of the scuffle. This way no one has to edit their post overmuch. Looking forward to everyone's posts!

Nay, I can do whatever, I can edit the post according to what you do or move it later. Just first make the definitive solution and after you are certain that you have the posts the way you want them, then I am going to edit it accordingly

Sure I am going to, but I was not planning to do that now, as Scyrr seems to be mostly between fainting and being resuscitated. It certainly does not make sense in the middle of Athanar's outburst to have some random soldiers coming along and starting chatting "hi Scyrr, how are you" when meanwhile the officers are arguing about the pursuit. I think there will be time either after the pursuit (for Hilderinc) or, if Áforglaed is not coming along, I could easily write for him and make him keep company to Scyrr.

But anyway, just relax. It really is not a standard to have ten posts per day... It's certainly bad in this sense to have a character who is currently incapable of taking any action, but maybe you could fill your time with writing about some of Scyrr's half-hallucinatory perception of the events around him, describing some of his inner thoughts (which might be a bit hazy), or something?

I think it would be alright if this were added to the end of Nogrod's post. Since Thornden is just saying what he knows right now, there's not really enough for me to post an entire post. But I'm changing the little bit before Athanar's final command:

Quote:
The two officers hesitated. Coenred looked sidelong at Thornden and Thornden glanced towards the ground. Athanar looked from one to the other, not understanding why they waited.

“Go! Go now!”

But Thornden still hesitated. Coenred, too, did not move when he saw that his lieutenant halted. Thornden looked Athanar directly in the eye as he said,

“My lord, I do not think multiple search parties are necessary, because I know which direction he went. And Lithor went with him. I should have spoken earlier, when I saw Lithor riding out, but I had no idea what had transpired here.”
Now, is anyone else curious to know what it'd be like if Thornden DIDN'T say anything now and only spoke up later when Lithor was found to be definitely missing? Or is just me?

Okay, I have made a momentous decision. (Momentous for my character, anyhow.) Thornden will not say anything about seeing Lithor. Not now, at any rate. So, Nogrod, do not edit that ending into your post.

Durelin, if you wish to have Coenred say something, by all means do so. Maybe Thornden will speak if Coen does, but if nothing changes, Thornden won't speak.

I hope to utilize either Quin or Saeryn soon. Don't know when...

looking for some fun action from other players, too.
