lol! Is it not more difficult to make links than to scroll down? *chuckle* You're laziness is a very interesting laziness.

Thanks, all, for your kind words about my sister. I'm hoping and praying all goes well, too, I can assure you.

Now, I'm about to set to writing my post to fill that save...Maybe, Hilde, maybe she'll jump the trench in the right place. And, yes, the horse will jump the trench. It will make the fall in the tunnel twice as nasty because the horses will only be recovering from jumping something else...poor animals. We'll probably have some broken legs.

.....but I only have to make a single concerted effort to place the links!

And I've made lists of links so many times I can do it in my sleep.....

Except... Someone might volunteer to lead her to the safe spot/help point it out to her? Of course there are major risks for that person...but there are always heros of that nature.

But wouldn't Dorran do this? If it really was my spouse, I would be out there waving a flag like crazy. Should I put up a save for this, or maybe later on? Or should Athwen just rely on blind luck?

p.s. I hope your sister in law and baby are alright.

Here you mention trench, but before that you were talking about the tunnel, so I supposed you might still be referring to the tunnel? Also, I said something about 10 meters, and obviously completely neglected your measurement. Fifteen feet poses difficulties, as you point out in your post, but it's probably much more likely that was all they could manage in time.

Durelin,

I think I was tired of using the word tunnel and substituted "trench" instead, though the words have different meanings. In any case, I can edit my post to 10 meters if that makes it easier. Let me know.

Folwren --

First, I hope your sister and her baby do well.

Secondly, in regard to this.....

After that, another couple posts can be made if needed. I was thinking the slavers would want to have a chance to write about changing course slightly. Perhaps the people in camp being alerted by the oncoming horsemen and woman......

I think you are right. I've put up a save for Imak and the slavers, since Regin says he's gone back with the orcs.

I hate using the same words over and over (though I fear I do it quite often anyway), so I completely understand. As for the length...fifteen feet is good enough. Being just enough to add confusion and hopefully take out a few (at least horses), but not seeming impossible for them to get done in time at all. Perhaps we should compromise a little and say that the fifteen feet is not including the part Carl filled in? Just so it sounds a little 'better.' (Though of course that doesn't require any editing to your post or anything.)

Also, sorry I haven't yet got my save filled in...I am still not completely certain about what precisely I'm doing, but it has to go in (right) before the slavers really get there. (And it won't affect anyone else's characters or the proceedings of the battle.)

And thank you very much, Pio! Your laziness is salvation for my own laziness.

[Folwren]

Alright. First of all. . .thank you all so much for your kind wishes, thoughts, and prayers (if you spared us any). I'm now an aunt to a little boy who's probably adorably cute. He was born (without a C-section, thank God!) at 8:05. The umbelicle cord was wrapped three times around his neck, but it doesn't appear that any damage was done and he seems to be alright (last we heard). If I weren't so excited, I wouldn't go to all the trouble of bothering you with details, but I think you can imagine my excitement....

Okay. I think things'll clear themselves up as we simply write the story. Tevildo, have Dorran come out, if you wish. I'll write what's needed when my turn comes again.

I think there could be both a trench and a tunnel. That would make it exciting.

And I think that's all. I'm going to bed. Goodnight!

Folwren, I'm so glad everything worked out.
