I apologize, but as I stated earlier, I'm having quite the busy week at the moment with papers. I will try to post as soon as possible, but that will likely not be until Monday...maybe Sunday...at the earliest.

That's perfectly alright, Captain. It occurred to me that by the time Ruadan had gotten back to Brodda, the hunt should already have started off - so it's fine if you don't write for a couple days yet.

I think we're kind of waiting on Child. Sorry.

Regarding Khandr's impending death, I have had Thorn suggest to Fastarr that it will be murder. I think that follows in line with what Child has been planning. If so, who is the murderer? My thought, in keeping with how Foley is portraying Uldor and Ulwarth, is that Ulfast is the most evil of the three brothers, and also the most shifty, if you know what I mean. Uldor is a bit less subtle and forthright, for all his naked ambition and willfulness. Ulfast is, by contrast, more of a snake. My thought is that he will make as if to befriend Khandr on the hunt and stay near him from the beginning, engaging him in seemingly friendly banter (perhaps not unlike that between Legolas and Gimli at Helm's Deep - how ironic!), and will do him in some place and time while others are some distance away - he will think that he has done his foul deed in secret, but does not know that Fastarr is eye witness. At least, that's one suggestion. Thoughts?

Originally, the idea was that Jord was going to do him in.

Child hasn't written because she's waiting on Durelin.

I just wrote a note to Folwren and Lalaith about this. Looks as if I should have checked the thread first!

The original plan was definitely Jorda. We had an elaborate subplot built up at the very beginning of the game that had the approval of the founder. That's why Embla was sent to spy on Jorda. However, I don't think it's a good idea to have it done by someone who is not actively writing at the moment. I know Durelin is in her first year of college and she must be up to her eyeballs in work. I am writing her one last time, but if we don't hear back I think we need to go ahead.

Folwren had suggested Uldor as the culprit. I think that would be fine. But if you'd rather hash it out here among various candidates, that is alright too. I'm willing to be done in by whoever you think is best.

I am putting up a save and will fill it in as soon as Lalaith confirms what I've writter her in the note....

lmp: Check what I wrote for Thorn and tell me if something is not the way it should be.

And sorry, it would have been nice to continue that discussion for a round or two but I'm afraid I don't have too much time on these last days before my trip (as I've said I will be off to Cuba from Saturday morning onwards for a week). So I felt a need to break this situation down. I will have time to make any corrections though.

I'll be back to come in with the actual happenings in the hunt after Nov. 25th.

THe words you have given Thorn cannot be improved upon. Thanks.
