Hey, Firefoot...I kind of feel bad about having Quin high-tail it out of there like that, but I didn't know what to do. I felt really bad for him and Leof, and ... I lacked inspiration. Maybe I should not have posted at all until I thought more about it....I dunno..........

It occurred to me in a healthy situation, they would have sat and talked it out, but I felt that there would be hostility there that would be better left resting. At least, that's what Quin thought. If you would like to keep other men questioning Leof, I am willing to help you play that out, taking on random NPCs like Scyrr, etc.

No worries, Folwren - I think that's great. Nothing like a bit of (un)healthy conflict.

Leof probably won't really stick around either, after he realizes just how badly his comment is going over. Or maybe he'll stick it out... this is where it would be good to either have more played soldiers, or more clearly defined NPC's... maybe I'll try making a couple more up.

For reference, here's Legate's write-up of some the NPC's he made up. Also there's Hylath. I think I made use of three more unnamed soldiers in my last post that involved a number of them.

I don't know. I'll think about it and read up on some of these soldiers and probably write something tomorrow night.

That sounds great, Firefoot. I like conflict.

I figure that's probably pretty obvious.

Hey Firefoot, sorry if I messed with things too much. If I need to edit let me know. But of course feel free to have some of the men stay -- Coen left right away and they might linger or those who don't really have specific duties might feel they can just stay. But I know he wouldn't want them to just keep hanging out there with the conversation going how it has been (not that he's been listening to all/most of it), so he had to say something.

Durelin, your post is fine. Leof's response would have gone a bit differently if Coenred hadn't intervened, but this works too. Instead of getting it all out there, the bad feelings can just simmer for a bit...
