I've changed my posts a bit to accord with the fact that it is Calimehtar who attacks Sythric.

This has to do with the last paragraph of #322 and the first paragraph of #326.

Child: check that the description suits you...

Nogrod - The description is indeed quite nice!

Tevildo & Undome,

My post is complete. Tevildo - I think it's what we agreed on. If there are any changes needed in the descriptions of either Dorran or Meghan, please let me know and I will adjust.

Tevildo - the ball is in your court.

I had Pio place a post at the end of Child's post - Meghan tries to help out Dorran, if only a little . . .

Easterlings killed tally: 7 out of 16

Brand - 2

Sythric - 1

Osmod - 1

Rædwald - 3

So, that leaves 10 of us and 9 Easterlings still alive

Great post Folwren!

But Sythric probably isn't lying down, half dead... He has been hit with a sword (from up to down) to the side - and he has a nasty slash-wound (and it hurts!). But as he discovers Raedwald dead, he will be infuriated, and will ride up to the ridge, seeking for revenge - and saving of the others - calling anyone able to come with him (he takes Raed's lance to pay back).

If you care to change your post with that in view? You could write anything about seeing Sythric running to see Raed., getting quite shocked for a moment, taking Raed's lance and calling Thydrë - asking all to come with him. You might also note, that he seems to be in great pains himself all the time, and bleeding from his side... Pick what you want from these - or don't use them. As you wish.

Could it overall be then, that:

By Dorran's cry, all the easterlings remaining should be riding towards the ridge - as their lord is doing - and they should follow him? It could be reasonable?

Then someone should remain with Brand (and Raed, already dead) - maybe Athwen? The others - those who dare (are online...

), should ride after the easterlings (we probably note Dorran and Athwen missing - and see the problem?)?

And a possible correction to Arry's tally: hasn't Meghan shot one easterling? So 1 added?

Okay, I knew that he was wounded pretty badly, but I wasn't sure where he was or what he was doing. I'll change that as soon as possible. But I can't get to it now. I have lots and lots of work to do yet today before I write anything more. I will, however, fix it later today.

Edit: I moved my post below your save, Nogrod, because it appeared that your post should go before mine. Hope no one minds.

Still haven't actually corrected it.

Edit #2: Okay, I've fixed it. Does that look alright?

I have put up a save and will fill it sometime today. I will have Vaenosa kill or wound four Easterlings before she succomes to a wound. That should leave five left I think for Incana and Eostre to deal with since I think they are the only ones not to have surfaced yet....I could be mistaken though , The Game is going so fast now

Sounds great so far, but I wonder ... Leod may have a busy time if we are all injured eh? Hope he won't mind!

Undómë · 04-21-2006, 11:53 AM

Meghan shot at an Easterling and drove him off, but it wasn't a killing shot.

Child of the 7th Age · 04-21-2006, 11:57 AM

Valier and everyone,

Please don't kill all the Easterlings. I asked earlier that their Lord be left alive. Let him escape with one or two companions. This is more realistic, given the odds at the beginning.

I don't mind if you give my main character a thrashing and wound him, but leave him well enough to slip away into the woods with a few companions. ( I'll do that part later.) Remember he is one of Sauron's appointed generals. This guy is no light weight.
