Gee thanks, Noggy. Just the question Thornden wanted put to him.

I'll post as soon as I can. Thanks so much for continuing.

Should be able to post for Wynflaed tonight. Smack me if I don't.

Aweseom, Mnemo. I'm not quite sure how I'll smack you if you can't get around to writing it, though.

I posted for Thornden.

And sometime earlier, someone asked, "How will Athanar ever find out that Thornden HAD seen Lithor and Erbrand running?" and the answer just came to me. When Lithor stopped and looked down at the drill, he paused for a long time, unsheathed his sword, and dropped it, before riding away - all while making eye contact with Thornden. Therefore, any one of the soldiers might have seen him, and, if they had looked, also seen Thornden. I can really picture Quin seeing it, but if anyone (like Legate's character) wants to have their character observe it, that would work, too. The only problem I see with having Legate's character see it is that he would say something NOW and put the search parties on the right track, whereas Quin may be completely oblivious, not even know that who he saw was Lithor and that they're searching for him, and end up not saying anything until later, after Erbrand and Lithor have had a chance to make their escape.

What do y'all think?

Hmm... it would be most interesting if I could come up with a reason for Hilderinc not to tell the truth in this situation as well, or not at least from the beginning and pretend to be just stupid or oblivious. I don't see it as completely impossible, but it will certainly be a challenge for me to think of a way to make it make sense.

One way how to "save it" would be if only Thornden approached him (and Coen would e.g. just go ahead to quickly rouse the rest of the men, leaving Thornden to explain to Hilderinc and appoint them to gather search parties on their own or something), that way, Hilderinc only would talk to Thornden (I could make Áforglaed react to the news and then just briefly take a look at Scyrr, so he'd be out of the way too). It might be then up to Thornden to either convince Hilderinc not to tell anything (ai, ai? If you, Folwren, want a challenge, then this would definitely be one; we also could make it a co-post) or to somehow avoid the question "but sir, didn't Lithor actually talk to you or something?" It would be an interesting thing if it could be done, like, how much it takes to convince Hilderinc that Erbrand is harmless and he should be let alone and whatnot, or if Thornden is going to outright lie (somehow I pity him, he got into this horrible situation and it seems he just cannot stop lying... that's exactly how this web of lies forms and spreads)...

But if it does not work, we can leave it be and make some other soldier notice.

Ooo, Afo's dropping in, does this mean that Scyrr has a chance of posting?

PS. By the way, Foley, our roleplay thread 'Homeward Bound' is only waiting for your character bio in order to start!

Who's Afo? [Edit: Never mind, I figured it out. Yes, it probably means Scyrr has a chance of posting.]

Ha! Nice way to be convincing and guilt trip me into fulfilling my promise.

Okay, I'll take the hint. I sent you a PM yesterday, though, and can't really get my bio written until you answer.

Legate, I don't quite know if I understand you, but I am quite up to a challenge and would love to do a combined post with you. We should start sooner than later. I'll work on my bio for Eorl's game, and then I'll see about starting a PM post and sending it to you. By the time we finish writing it, Nogrod and/or Durelin may have posted and gotten Thornden and Coen on their way away from lord Athanar. Unless....Nogrod and Durelin, do you mind if, after a while, one of you haven't posted, can Legate, Eorl, or I move things along out there?

Hey, everyone, just wanted to apologize for being so busy over the past couple of months. All my writing time has been devoted to working on my screenplays and short scripts for grad school, but I may have more time this summer. We'll see. At any rate, please feel free to use Crabannan in any way that fits with the precedent I've established for him, and I'll be back at some point in the future.
