Nogrod or Lommy, Javan has addressed Cnebba and Garmund with a wager. I thought you'd like to know so you can have either of them answer as you will.

At least I won't have time to post today but we'll try to have one of us doing it soon...

That looks like a nice one Foley!

I could try to give it a go later today if our little recording session for Brinn doesn't take the whole evening.

Cool! Are you going to edit your post again, or write another one?

This should be fun!

Foley, I have made the younger boys to answer Javan's bet.

Feel free to make Javan bargain a better deal for him.
(btw. the discrepancy is intentional: Cnebba suggested Javan would be a slave for a week but Garmund raised it to two as he knew they were negotiating there... Feel free to hit on that fex.)


I'm probably able to send the first rounds of the quarterstaff-fight on Sunday. So you'll all have time at least until then to post for things before the fight.

Groin, I've noticed that about 50% of the time, you spell my character's name "Crabanna" rather than "Crabannan." You might want to look into it.

Why is that? Anyway, the mistake is corrected Gwathago!

Groin...that was absolutely hilarious... I had to have Thornden laugh at least once or twice, because I was laughing myself. Quite an awkward, hilarious situation. Oh dear me. Have him answer however you will, I am really open to any sort of scene you want to make out of this.

Nogrod, I have posted for Javan.

Hope this isn't too late.

Harreld is a little out of his element in the quarterstaff fight. He's a tradesman, not an warrior. Whereas his dexterity is above average, he has little experience with a quarterstaff, so does not know tricks and moves. It will all be instinct for him, which means he's at a disadvantage. His strength will not help him much.

Eodwine is a soldier by profession and has had training in quarterstaff. He is above average in dexterity, but not much. Quarterstaff is not something he keeps in practice with, but he knows the skills. He might be perhaps a half step slower than the young guys due to his age.

I thought about Erbrand resorting to physical violence but that would be carrying it too far. I've got my response up for Erbrand, he's behaving quite selfishly so feel free to respond in whatever way you deem fit! Thornden is handling this quite well so far, let's see if he can keep his cool for long.

Haha! I am really getting a kick out of this one.

Thornden's kept his cool, mostly. I have doubt about Erbrand, though, unless he listens up. People could have an unexpected competition on their hands, wot wot? And Eodwine's gone, which makes it even more humorous because no one's really there to stop it (I mean, they can, and should, if it escalates to a fight, but no one of authority is there). But he's due back any moment.
Yes, indeed, this could be very interesting. *grins and rubs hands together with gleeful anticipation*

And, by the way, you left the 'n' off of Crabbannan again.

Whoa, you sure told me off, Folwren, what a post! I'm going to have to think about Erbrand's response, I want it to be justified, however slight that might be, in his eyes on why he confronted Thornden. This is so much fun, I'll be back with a response as soon as I come up with one.

Yeah, sorry about that. Just remember - Thornden told Erbrand off, I didn't do so to you. I often take my character's stuff personally, too, so I may understand what you're feeling.

But it is fun.

On the contrary, Eodwine and Degas have been back since before the dagger throwing contest; they just haven't said or done much. Eodwine is not far, and he will take action if and when he chooses to.

Oh. I didn't realize that. Okay, that's alright.
