I would appreciate it.

If I have to throw this one away, that will make two posts in a row that I have had to trash.

I'd say we leave all the things as they are now but Eala deletes the last paragraph of his latest post describing the other outlaws getting out from the kitchen.

For the following reasons:
- it's too fast a conclusion... we'd love to write more...
- it makes all the MH men in the kitchen look like a bunch of idiots incapable of doing anything
- it contradicts with lmp's post about Harreld making a charge (from which I'd love to continue...)

I can do that but I do have a few comments:

Regarding too fast a conclusion: I had not intended that to be the conclusion. Drama could continue in the Alder Yard.

Regarding the Eorl's men looking like idiots: Huh? I didn't think that the Eorl would charge forward when it could lead directly to the death of Ginna and/or Rowenna. To me, it seemed prudent of the Eorl to give them a little space. When they did make a move for the door, it would happen very quickly. Stigend did get an axe hit on Withold on his way out the door. How is that idiocy? Actually, I had thought you might like that. Silly me.

LMP had not made the change showing Herreld's attack until AFTER I had finished my post. Since he had offered to change his post to accomodate mine, I was waiting to see what that change would be before making any changes to my post. Therefore, taking Herreld's attack into consideration would have involved my being psychic. I am not.

Anyhow let's let Ghem to get to the yard...

With the others... I'd like to make Stigend to kill / severely wound Withold personally (as he's so near and Harreld has started the thing anyway) but I could refrain if anyone has a better storyline-idea...

*Shrugs*
