Okay, post for Scyld is up. I want a few things cleared up before I do anything for Haleth, though.

First, Eodwine's party is going to get to Sorn's estate in a few hours in the morning; do they go and talk to Sorn? Assumably, he would deny charges, Eodwine and co. might retreat and wait for Haleth to show up so that they could make plans. It would be in this waiting time then that Sorn would have to decide to kill Linduial and Scyld would leave with her; this would not give Scyld and Lin much of a head start at all. (Obviously, they would have to not be seen by Eodwine's company...) The other possibility here is that Sorn decides to kill Lin sometime during this day, Scyld overhears/finds out, and they leave that night.

Or, does Eodwine not go and talk to Sorn but try to figure out what's going on while waiting for Haleth? Possibly, Sorn finds out they're there, decides to kill Lin, and at this point Scyld makes his escape, before the good guys even make contact with Sorn.

I could go either way, and I could see Haleth having either happening. What do the rest of you think?
