OK, then . . . ready for the Elves . . . best they get to camp before poor Meghan keels over from exhaustion and the anticipation of fatal outcome . . .

I wrote a post but it should be before the elves get to the camp... could you put this on Nogrod's save? Or Nogrod, you could do it yourself I believe.

Undome Osmod talked to Meghan so I had to write a bit of her reactions... I hope that I was vague enough.

Post:


Osmod asked Fion to get some water boiling and then run to the river to refill the water-skins. The young lad asked Incana for help and the two hurried off, knowing that Leod would need water to clean the wounds and to prepare his potions. Walking then to Meghan, Osmod kneeled by her side and waited patiently as she spoke softly to Brand’s ear. Her words he could not tell, but the meaning was clear. When she finally seemed to have stopped talking, Osmod gently took Meghan’s hand in his, hoping to comfort her slightly. She turned around, looking upset –or was it his imagination? - Yet even if she was, she had recently lost a life-long friend and now Brand seemed to be loosing his fight as well. She had her reasons. Osmod felt guilty for interrupting yet he knew that if Leod was to come back and save Brand and Sythric, he’d need to have everything ready. Perhaps it would even be good for Meghan to be a busy as well.

“I am sorry Meghan that I need to ask this of you right now, yet you are the one who knows best what our healer will need when he gets here. I have already sent Fion and Incana to bring us as much water as they can; now we only need to prepare Leod’s potions and unguents and pray he gets back here soon enough to use them. You know what he will need better than myself, I will stay here by Brand’s side and look over him if you wish.”

Trying his most reassuring smile, he placed his hand on Brand’s forehead to see if the man had a fever, which he clearly had. Then he busied himself on arranging the covers so that the man would not be cold. Osmod did not look up to see if Meghan was still by Brand’s side.

I can put it in there too, but I guess it should be placed before my post - as in the end on my post Sythric is already awake... (I can start my post with yours, of course)

If that is ok., I can put it there too. Or if Pio makes this, it could be in the tail of Undómë's post?

Is it allright that you tend to the horses as Sythric wakes up? If not, give me another idea...

Sitting by the fire, looking grim?

Looks good... minor detail, his hand was already dressed, but he could be changing his bandages so it's alright, no need to change your post =)

Looking forward to hear from Child!!

Sorry - my broken English here. I tried to say that Sythric noted Osmod's hand being bandaged - not actually being dressed in action... I changed it. Hopefully it's better now.

And I agree with you: this is looking nice again. I'm just all ears for Child!

I've filled my save and opened the last planned secret of Sythric's. Now you may either kill him or drag him with...

But seriously.

Tevildo & Child!

I have a nice idea. How about if Nevtaliel would like to "unstich" Sythric's wound and open it to see for any organ failures? That would be both painful and nasty! Then we could decide, whether Sythric could make it to Edoras or be left to the camp to wait for a possible transport (or to die in a day or two...).

All

I guess one option could be, that Leod (+ possibly someone else: Meghan, Athwen?) would stay at the camp we are now with Brand and Sythric, while others would try to make it to Edoras. THey could then send a cart to pick us (if we are alive...)

Or maybe the elven medicines and healercraft are so powerful as to make Brand and Sythric ready to ride to Edoras? I just think, that Arry and myself have written our characters to so bad a condition, that it would be a bit unbelievable if they would just mount their horses after an elven care and ride as nothing had happened...

What do you think?
