Groin, you're mad, aren't you? As in cranky, angry, frustrated, etcetra and so forth.

I didn't think Girth as an NPC. I knew he was good.

Sort of. Those comments were the result of a slap happy moment that I could not refuse to pass by. I'm mad nowadays period. See ya'll in a couple weeks, I'm going back to the real world to get cool down.

P.S. Use my characters all that you need to.

What's that mean, Groin? How long until you're back? What do you mean, 'back to the real world' and 'you may use my characters'. Where are you going?

I'm really sorry to hear that. I'll send you a PM for this. I mean I really don't understand this but hopefully we can settle this...

I have nothing against peasants... but lord Athanar has no peasants to follow him! He's not into peasants as he is a nobleman and to him peasants are just labour - but labour outside his immediate surroundings. Peasants are to him like income... far away and hopefully obidient - and if not obedient, then they will be settled with soldiers...

Lord Athanar may think they're just scum - and looking at the characters you've introduced Groin, he seems to be about right with his judgement about peasants...

What I know of lord Athanar, he would never have looked at that kind of people for more than a week: they would have been thrown off immediately their character was found out. So as much as you might love them, lord Athanar would not have loved that kind of guys and would have kicked them off with no pain of heart - if he had peasants in his "crew" in the first place, which he doesn't.

Really: lord Eodwine's Hall had no peasants in it and lord Athanar is not introducing ones either... I mean why would he? He would subordinate the peasants from the surrounding areas and that would be just enough for him. The peasants = food. No need to keep them near or about; just collect the revenue... like lord Eodwine would have done!

Seriously, though, a place in the retinue of a nobleman, particularly one as important as Lord Athanar, would be an enviable position. No one with anything less than excellent credentials or character. Really, Aforglaed is toeing the line as to acceptable soldiers - he would have to be the son of a close friend of Athanar's (or Wynflaed's, I suppose).

Speaking of which, how *does* Girth fit in? I never quite understood how/why he was here. Not that I don't think he should be here - his perspective could potentially be very interesting, like Nain's - but what is the reasoning behind his character? Just wondering, because it wasn't clear to me before.

I know a host of you are in Boston right now - and a few are in Prague. And I grant you have better things to do right now but to post into Scarburg Mead Hall.

But could you give a hint or two as to when you'd be home again and able & willing to write? We have now basically everything open and we're set to go. So whenever you wish... And anyone not in Boston or Prague, feel free to jump on it!

Week from Sunday. Well, soon after that, anyway. But I'll be home a week from Sunday.
