I'll be posting soon and likely have Khamir run off to help Shae, and then the two can come racing back to help out, unless Brinniel objects.

Child, Carl's post is up. Sorry to have taken so long with it, but it was a fun one!

Perhaps, Carl and Dirand's alarm at having the slaver so close to the boulders could be a tip off for the enemies? Also the slighter of the two slavers, the one knocked down by the horse, could be either alive or dead. I leave that up to you.

Good ideas pouring in!

Maybe we should indeed have a breach from where a few slavers break in to the grove. That could also be a natural place for Hadith to try and rise up - whatever would follow from that.

About those who could come to help ie. being still "outside", I think Beloan and Qat fit the description. Last time we met them, they were by the trenches. After that they must have met Dorran to give Fewerth to him to carry away. Then they must have started towards the grove.

Durelin: I like your idea of upgrading Beloan and most of the things you had sketched in the Bio looked just as I have thought him. Maybe a couple of vices too and then some outlooks? I'll try to think of them too.

I had not planned to bring Kwell back until it was all over, but I can if you like.

Not tonight, though. We're watching the Extended RotK tonight for the first time since.....well, two years, at least.

Brinniel

Let me know if there are issues with my post. Also, would you like to/do you have the time to take it from there? You could just continue just their conversation...moment...whatever

...or you could move both of them toward the grove for the final final stand, or both.

I'm fine with doing another post soon to have them running back, though, if you'd like/need me to.

The post I started earlier is finished. I had started working on it on a computer at school and was mid-sentence when the bell rang. Only the last two paragraphs are really new.

Goodness me. I haven't been on the BD for a few days and suddenly this thread gets busy. Never fear...now that I'm back in my dorm again, I should be on more often...

Durelin, for the most part the post looks fine. I actually had Shae walking away from the two bodies when she was attacked, but I figured she hadn't gotten far, so they should still be very visible- she's just not directly next to them.

I'm just a little confused on this part:

The woman yanked her shirtsleeve from where it had been caught in the golden armour, tearing a small piece of it in the process. She looked a bit flustered, and she was wounded, but she stood steadily.

In the transition to the next paragraph, was it Shae that killed the other slaver? You didn't seem to mention it, so I'm a bit puzzled...

I'm going to bed right now, but I think I'll try to put up a response sometime tomorrow.
