Sorry for having mere dial-up - again! *grumble* I couldn't get on-line Friday morning to post into my save for Raefindan, and I'm sure it stymied some of you. For that I am most grievously sorry. And I'm quite amazed it let me on after 10 p.m. on any night. But it's cheap, so I put up with the inconveniences; not without a *grumble grumble*. Anyway, it's filled in now, and additional stuff is there to move that ol' plot forward yet again! yehaw!

Hail, o bandwidth-bound yet faithful ally! (And welcome back, Ædegard Erchamion.)

Between Erebemlin, Taitheneb, and Ravion, if the merlocks get within bowshot, they are pincushions. Are they within bowshot?

Is Gwyllion dead or just crippled? I wasn't sure because of:

Quote:

Mellonin and Leafa came into sight, frantically carrying Gwyllion between them, her arms hanging limp. Their faces were stained with tears

So...knocked our, or dead?

Earlier today lmp sent me this but I was away all day.....

littlemanpoet (10/25/2004 6:00:13 AM): Hi Helen, just a quicky before work. I can't log onto barrowdowns from here, but if you want to post this up for me at discussions: the women are close, since the swamp path twists and turns. So the merlocks are within bowshot, but there are a lot of them. I'm figuring about 40. Here's the deal: Tharonwe had promised them that they would receive one of the maidens for food. But now he has promised all four in trade for Raefindan. The merlocks figure this out, and are about to revolt, but Tharonwe tells them that he will not stand in the way of their feasting. So they rush madly after the women. Lucky for Bellyn and company, the path is narrow and she has only had to fight off one or two at a time; the swamp muck slows merlocks down as much as it would a duck (or whatever).

Would it be stupid to ask how exactly Bellyn got a knife?

Edit: *feels stupid*

Sorry...Very tired = many edits and stupid questions.

Tharonwe would have "woken up" any sleepers to send them back in exchange for Raefindan... Er, Roy Edwards.

I'm not sure about the knife -- unless Bella mugged Tharonwe and took it from him!
