Precisely, and thanks Jenny for clarifying for me.

I hadn't thought about it before I starting writing him, but Gurth's sparce vocabulary means that posts concerning him containing dialogue will often lead to me having to NPC other people's characters to an extent.

So in this case, Jenny, Firefoot and Taralphiel, do speak up if you feel I haven't done your characters justice. For instance, I might have slightly played down Scyld's courage for comic effect.

I think the only thing that I really mind is the part at the end about Scyld retreating "as quickly as possible." Him getting out of there like that is fine, but I think I'd make it a little slower, more guarded. Other than that, looks fine. Scyld is still developing for me, and I'm definitely liking this exasperation with Gurth.

I changed it to "paced slowly but firmly back up the stairs".

Firefoot · 05-11-2006, 02:53 PM

Perfect.

Apparently, I need to post; I'll be switched if I know what to do with Eodwine. Lothiriel has come and told Eodwine to join the search and rescue party, and to get word to Linduial's father. So he'll give Degas his marching orders. And Garstan wants to talk to him. Hama of the Riddermark is playing Haleth, the commander, I see, who will talk to Eodwine about plans. Haleth is at the mead hall? I guess I'll have Eodwine initiate communication with him. If I got anything wrong, let me know.

You got it, LMP. Busy being the Eorl, isn't it?

Garstan wants to go with the rescue party, but he needs someone to talk it through with him so he stops running around in mental circles.

Great jon, Anguriel , no changes needed for Sorn at all!

Yesterday I was reading over the posts, and I had a small idea. I'm putting up the beginnings of it in my next post.

Would it be possible to have Osfrid and Muriel wander into the Mead Hall and gather information on Linduial's friends? Then perhaps use that to threaten her into 'behaving'? Just something to play on Sorn's deviousness :3

Let me know what you think, and if it's not a good idea I'll edit it out of my post.
