Then our two veteran riders would come up with a quick plan to release O & F, and we would make a rescue-attack foursome? That would of course had to be a total disaster (hope no-one gets hurt physically)!

So we could try to run you down Wolfhamers? Coming from different sides all four, with lances pointed - and whatever we have, trying to make as much havoc and damage as possible to free our friends. Then we would just have to try to fade it in seconds, at the last instant, as we rush in between you all others and seeing you to be in good terms with each other... It probably is hard to stop your movement, when you're charging with full speed against someone just very near to you, enraged by your wish to save your friend?

This would probably take something like two posts (at least) from us to make the plan and to go for it. Probably everyone of us should have to write at least once before we are at you others.

How does it sound to you? I'm perfectly well with a more peaceful meeting too.

Problem is you are supposed to have waited for quite a while.... and then we galloped towards the Wulfham camp when you have no reason to do so. Unless the Wulfham people decide to keep us trapped for a while, all this would be happening maybe even before you all leave the village!

I tend to want to continue with the story line. Save more good stuff for later to come.

I think we should be at least some what friendly after this quick squirmish. Well perhaps not Vaenosa....but who knows

That was just the thing I wondered - what is the time-gap between us? Maybe it's not believable, that we could see some trouble, even from a distance. I would guess we are something like 15 minutes behind you? Would that be well?

Maybe we just continue in a more peaceful manner?

But anyhow: we are now following Osmod's and Fion's tracks already (RL-wise), so we probably should wait (RL) a little for the situation to clear a bit, before we come in?

Has anyone ideas about it? We have the fresh track to follow by the lead of an excellent trailer (Raedwald), so we'll find our way. When we approach the trees, we would surely be more alarmed and come more slowly... but other than that?

I would like it if Arry posted then a few more from the other Wulfhamers and Farael then we should meet up at last.

I have the impression that if the Brego's happened to come up on us Wulfhamers at this moment, the Bregowarians wouldn't wait very long to ask questions. Their two companions happen at the time to be, one knocked out with a knife at his throat, and another with a net over his head and well caught. Things would be bad if they came upon us just now.

So, what I think could happen, seeing as the gap needs to be filled up anyway - we Wulfhamers should have time to figure out our mistake and at least Osmod is at peace with us. I don't know what Fionn will be, at peace or war, depending on if he's still out cold or whatever.

And then, by the time the other Bregos come up, we aren't looking like we're about to kill their two companions.

That's exactly what I meant by drawing back my earlier suggestion, and as I thought, that we last Bregos should wait somewhat (RL), or we could discuss something on our short way to meet you.

Save filled.

Tevildo - I've used Dorran briefly. Please let me know if an edit is needed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Farael - I've left a hook for Osmod to respond to Brand; an opportunity for Osmod to "show his quality" (as Sam said to Faramir in 'The Window on the West'.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since we're all now together - let's drop heading our posts with the village names.

Undómë: I let Sythric call Raedwald a master tracker in my post (Raed. seemed to do quite well in your earlier post - he might be generally known as one?). I also let him agree to Sythrics plan of S. taking a quick look to the shoreline while the others would already go forwards.

I'll edit anything you think needs editing in that.
