LMP, I'm so confused. Where's Eodwine in relation to Haleth? And where, then, is Derrin? In Jenny's post it sounds as though Eodwine and Haleth could be alone again, or with several people. Are Garstand and Derren the only ones who have thus far volunteered, or should, by the time Jenny's post takes place, there be more? Because I don't know where my character is or should be, I can't write a post. I'm so sorry. And I'm especially sorry to bother you, because it seems you're awfully busy of late.

Oh! And about Jenny's post. Marenil's suggestion is either lovely or disapointing. I haven't decided which. If Eodwine says yes to him, Thornden gets to take place in the adventure after all (which is lovely, in it's sense), but it's disapointing because I was looking forward to some sparks being kicked up between Thornden and Eodwine when Eodwine told him that he has to stay back and act like a Steward. What's more, if Thornden got to stay behind, Alcarillo and I would have a chance, I think, to do some writing together.

So, there are my few thoughts about Meranil's suggestions. Have Eodwine answer as you will, of course...either way is fine, I guess, in it's different ways.

I'm a little confused myself, Folwren. At least we're clear that Thornden is with the search party. Which seems to be bigger than anyone ever intended! I have no idea how many people this makes, but Eodwine was surprised at the number.

Question: what writers are there who are part of this search party, and what are your characters? Just so I'm clear whose names to use when I write.

Folwren · 05-25-2006, 08:50 PM

Oh, lovely, you've straightened everything out very easily.

Cheers to Elempi!

I'm a writer for two characters - Deren and Thornden. I hope they'll get along. I don't imagine that they wouldn't.

As for my next post, I will do my utmost to write one tomorrow morning, but the day is looking like it's filling up. However, we'll have to wait and see. I'll try, really I will.

And I'm writing Garstan, who is also coming along.

Anyone else who wishes to pop in with a cameo at the Hall is welcome to PM me. I may be PMing some Mead Hall writers once we really get going.

Sorn
Scyld

:P

Anywho...

lmp has moved ahead to the next morning...great!

The trip to Sorn's estate takes about 8 hours, and that's by wagon. By foot it is probably a good day and a half to two days, a-horseback you could probably get there in six hours.

The catch, of course, is figuring out where you're going. A man wanders the fair with information you need, but you don't know that, and he's not inclined to get involved in such high affairs. This is the first challenge for the Searchers.

The first challenge for the Kidnappers and the Hall-folk is slightly different. It will be Osfrid and Muriel's spy mission, each groups working against the other. Kidnappers, (Sorn and Scyld particularly) could you establish the whereabouts of the items Lin had on her? The knife, doll, and basket are all things Lin is going to wish to recover, and we'll need to know where they are, (at least here, if not in the story thread. I'm not picky about it.)

Anguirel · 05-26-2006, 12:31 PM

I know I haven't been much in evidence yet, but I am about. Do plop Gurth on your list.

The time change means it'll look forced to finish my conversation with Sorn, but blast it, I'll resort to a flashback.
