I spose they didn't have CPR back then?

Well -- I did a post...I'm not happy with it but you all get the general gist. Even if I wasn't rushed I would not have been happy with it. I've just never had a close one near death before so it is all rather new....

Cheers,
Imladris

Orual-- I hadn't planned on Ravion showing up so soon, but I'm glad he did! And Aeron too. That worked out very well. Better than I had hoped! As I wrote it, Mellonin's arm took a blade-hit in the underwater scuffle. Nobody knows by who because of the murk. I think (if you'd like, Orual) that Mellonin also punctured Ravion while she was hacking away; location & severity of scratch/ cut/ wound is obviously your choice.

One minor thought-- I hadn't pictured the Entwash Delta as being a place for trees, but I guess there could be some evergladish swamp trees... After their December swim, they'll be desperate for firewood, so it's just as well. But they are bound to be strange trees to these landlubbers. Someone ought to remark on that.

Immy, your post is fine, I thought it worked out quite well! Very Aeronish. Great idea about the venom when Gwyllion is caught. It made Gwyllion's long submersion more plausible. Gwyllion ought to be rather sick from the poison, and Ravion and Mellonin too, although they probably got a lesser dose. I think the group will have to take a day of rest, though; perhaps they'll travel for an hour or so inland to leave the beastie behind and then they'll need a fire.

I'm glad Gwyllion made it through! I was worried.

So-- Since Raefindan is still pretty sick and weak, Aeron gets to be the doctor for a day! Good old Jorje can show up after all the excitement is over with a nice dead rabbit? Or fish? Jorje's constant absence when he'd come in handy is annoying! But I've been thinking of him as a tracker type; a nose-hunter, not a fighter or herd-dog. Just good on a scent. But the team need not discover his tracking skills for quite a while yet; he can just hang around, fend for himself and be uselessly annoying til we get to Edhellond and beyond. Sound okay, lmp? (Since he's your dog...)

All right, my friends.

I just wanted to remind you guys so that you didn't think I was disappearing...

As said in my discussion thread post on 6/13, I'm leaving today on vacation. I'll be back for about a day on Thursday, and I'll use it to maybe (hopefully) get a post up. Then I'm leaving again. Whoo...

Well, I just wanted to let you all know!

Have fun!

Shoot! I keep forgetting about Jorje! I'll edit my post to take care of that. I'll also edit for the cuts and whatnot, and the cold, which here in June, we're all tending to forget about!

Rae could have recalled CPR, but it turned out not to be needed. Maybe later.

Orual · 06-20-2004, 02:23 PM

lmp, thanks for adding in Ravion's cut--last night I didn't have time to check the discussion thread. (This is mainly due to the fact that I just heard that I'd landed the lead in a Shakespeare play, though I hate to brag...

)

Helen, yeah, I was thinking of a cypress or something. I live in a pretty swampy area, and there are always stands of trees--I could certainly edit if you'd like, though.

"Ah well, at least its a tropical southern hemisphere winter," Elora's writer sighs with a wry smile.

Folks, I'm in the process of drafting up an opening post (thanks to a much needed prompt from lmp

). I was a little bashful and hanging back so that I didn't trample in too early and spoil things.

Being a thick head - I'd like a cue as to when to post, so I do not become a veritable fly in the creative ointment *buzz buzz*

*lmp throws his hands up, sighs and wonders what else he needs to do - apart from bellow "POST NOW!!!!!!!" in his best drill seargent impersonation*

Drill Sgt lmp, ten-hut-- Bellow on three.

One... Two....

(actually, Elora, you can always post it here on the discussion thread, and then we can decide where it'll go inthe flow of things.)

THREE!
