I've set it up in my last post that it's night time now . . . so go ahead with your own post . . .

Whoops. Sorry, guys. I thought everyone would be ready to move on for night.

I moved my post for you.

And what I wrote wasn't actually quite as . . . disturbing as I first was planning. For two reasons, really. . .I decided I didn't want to make Athwen a complete bother and nuisance and have every one despise her and think that she was going completely out of her head (it had entered my mind to have her do a sleep walking type thing. . .I've had my sister do it and it can be really weird and really disturbing) and I also didn't continue writing because I didn't know who it was who stepped up to her to see what was wrong. If I were sure that it were a girl character, I would have had Athwen turn towards her and cry on her shoulder and it would have been all very well and good, but I didn't want to put one of your guys into such an awkward situation.

So, I've stopped it where if you want, someone can take the place of the person standing next to Athwen still not knowing what's wrong, or we can pass on to morning and I can explain in my next post that she went back to bed and whatever else.

And I can always go back and edit if you want to see what else I had in mind (maybe). . .so long as I know who that character is who came up to her.

Deleted my save, since the battle has been over for quite a while and I've had that save up for over three days now. I was gone during most of the battle, and quite frankly I didn't feel up to writing a huge post accounting for all that happened to Fion during that time.

Just wondering, will Child and her characters be back later?

I've put up a SAVE to respond to Folwren's post. If any other gamer would like to do this let me know and I'll remove it.

Farael

Child is done with her interlude. So . . . no more Easterlings.

by next week early the group should be in Edoras, and after that the final posts by everyone. That should just about wrap up the game.

I see, I couldn't make the post today, but I have some outlines for it to post tomorrow. If Tevildo would have time, I would appreciate something considering Dorran's watch by Sythric. Sythric would spit the medicine out from his mouth and be quite violently disturbed (coming to his senses after a nightmare). Then he would settle, and ask for the dead, and insisiting on a honourable burial to Raedwald (as he comes to understand his death after his question).

I guess Radwald's burial could be done in retrospect - so someone remembering it afterwards while riding towards Edoras? Sythric at least would do that - probably Meghan, or some others too?

So Tevildo: if you are online and have time to post, post here on the discussion thread, and I'll move your text to my save - or then Pio or Arry could do that. I could then answer / continue your post...
