Thanks, LMP! It's great to be back on the Downs and RPGing again after such a long hiatus. Thanks very much for the links, too. I was just wondering how to get oriented with everyone's characters. That will help quite a lot.

To help everyone in getting acquainted with the new character, here is a brief portrait:

Elián comes from Belfalas to the South. He is a slim and wiry young man of roughly 27 years. He is of average height and would be almost pretty but for the recently healed scar from a sword slash just above his left eyebrow. He is deeply sun-tanned with dark blond hair that he wears plaited, seaman-style, in a long qeue down his back, almost to his waist. He has piercing blue eyes and a quick smile, as well as a handful of large and colorful tattoos, all with maritime symbolic significance: a compass star on the inside of his left forearm so that he may never lose his way, an anchor on his left bicep so that he may always return to port, and the sinuous curves of a sea dragon on his right forearm for protection at sea.

Elián has a tendency to dress like a seaman as well, wearing loose linen trousers and shirt, the shirt being usually left open at the throat and cuffs. He also wears tall leather boots and a worn leather jerkin. He carries a leather bag like a messenger’s pouch across his left shoulder and a second, smaller leather pouch tied to his wide leather belt. He wears his sword in a baldric over his right shoulder that buckles over his chest, and a dagger in his belt behind him, concealed by his dark brown cloak. All leather items are stained with sea salt, evidence of a good bit of time spent at sea.

He is a good natured, generally pleasant fellow with a strong sense of self-preservation. He is currently on the run, which is what brings him to Rohan, from a very sketchy past.

*******************************

Okay, to help me keep things straight, please let me know if this is correct:

Two groups have just converged in a clearing over what appears to be the bodies of two dead young men: Group One includes Eodwine, Rowena, Garsten, Stigend, Garmund, Cnebba, two dogs, and two prisoners.
Group Two: Thornden, Léof, and one prisoner.

Is there anyone I'm missing?
