Then someone can fill in the part about if it hits or not. It may not and you others will have to pull the Easterling off Dorran.

If she never gets there, and just fires her bow from a good distance away, getting stabbed from behind by an easterling that is following his masters trail - then it should be ok.?

I guess it is Child's issue to decide, whether the arrow hits or misses?

My thoughts exactly!

We'll have to see about the arrow.......

Valier: Check my post. Does that kind of thing satisfy you? The dead easterling banged on you - it might be him - or his spear - or anything, that hits Vaenosa's back and eventually lends her unconscious...

Others should come along with these last moments! Sythric anyhow, wouldn't handle much anymore.

PS. Note to the tally: one more easterling dead by Athwen, and one by Sythric... We're getting professionals?

PS2: Filled my earlier save too...

Child!

Just a note - hopefully not wit-picking - but Sythric has "toughened leather breast-armour" on (mentioned on the start of the thread), so it would not be like you say:

his blade cut the edge of Sythric's shirt and sliced into the flesh below, leaving a trail of blood along the man's side.

Sythric surely is wounded, and badly - the lord Calimehtar probably had just hard and sharp blade enough, that it cut into the toughened leather plate. That would be believable - from close range.

But anyhow: Sythric is coming after you! The problem being, that he seems to be fainting in any moment from the loss of blood and shock, as these are only now getting the upper hand of him... Maybe some fury can be still evoked, maybe not.

Does anyone know where/what Leod is doing? I would like to get my post up right away and wanted to include him in my post since we seem to be the only ones not doing anything right now. I will hold off on my post for a little while longer to see if any one can enlighten me. Thanks

Ok, good news? I've decided to stick 'till the end. From what I understand the game is on it's last lap (ish) and things seem to be clearing up at my end a little bit.

More good news? (I don't see exactly how they'd be bad news, specially for the wounded) Osmod will stay back and tend the wounded. Dorran is already uphill, Sythric is going there, Meghan is out but she is there as well and Fion could be there if Maeggaladiel comes back any time soon. It should be enough to give Child's character a reason to leave without having him trapped and I think we are leaving too many wounded bodies behind. Osmod will escape relatively unscratched, as we can't have everyone sporting rather bad wounds.

Tevildo, we can coordinate for Osmod and Leod to work together. I'm guessing we could have them fight off one last assailant (as they wouldn't have been standing there and doing nothing up until the Easterlings started retreating) and then stop and help their friends rather than go after them. Osmod has no medical knowledge so if Leod wants to give him some advice it'd be much appreciated.

I think that's all I wanted to say... I'm off to bed now but I will be back tomorrow afternoon.

Edit: I forgot about Incana (Sorry Naria!!) maybe Osmod could charge uphill but I think it would be more in character for him not to. Unless those of you going uphill think that your characters wouldn't be able to do it by yourselves, I'll have Osmod stay put.

I've left it open whether Brand's cudgel will connect with your Easterling lord.

Feel free to decide that - Brand is quite weak and may miss you altogether or give you a glancing blow at your discretion . . .
