Legate, I'd be fine if your character fought Quin. I am not sure exactly if Hilderinc would wish to fight with him or if he wanted to fight with one of the Scarburgians. It may be that he sees Quin being less than eager to join, realizes he's never sparred with him, and engages him. Whatever you want to do.

Durelin, I'm open for anything, too. In fact, it wouldn't be inconceivable for us to write about Coen and Thornden talking even before Legate and I have fully decided or written about Quin and Hilderinc fighting.

Okay, that's one possible thing. My kind of initial idea was that they would simply totally randomly stumble upon each other (i.e. found themselves next to each other and thus they would come to fight each other), but then, maybe especially if Quin seems reluctant, Hilderinc might indeed engage him. Well... if so, should we make it some sort of joint PM-post? That is, depending how much we want to dig in this... I do not necessarily relish in writing combat scenes unless I have some really brilliant ideas... or just showing the kind of basic encounter and how they think of each other at that moment, or what they can think about... which can serve as good food for thought for later... so it's just upon you if you think we should make it a joint post or if I should just start and post something and you later post yours... (I will try to come up with something anyway and then act according to your reply...)

PM posts are fun.

I'm in class, so can't elaborate.

Legate, I would be willing to do a PM post if you wanted to. If you think that would be worth while, you can go ahead and initiate it. It would be interesting to bring out more of both our characters' characeristics. I would like it.

I'd love to contribute something maybe on the more domestic side of the Mead-Hall at the moment, but I'm still confused by the timelines compared to the council and Groin's last post. Does anyone have any thoughts?

I think his post is much later in the "day" than we are right now. It'd have happened before you guys ended the drill, though, so I think we can safely assume Wylflaed and Lilige would find out about when the drill ended...or at least, that's the assumption I've been under. Anyone else have a clearer idea?

The drill, even if we don't write about all of it, will have taken several hours at least. So, even if we 'finish' the drill in our posts, and you all are still working on stuff that is happening soon after the hearing, in your character's sense, Groin's post hasn't occurred yet. The two groups, those in the drill and those at the Hall, are in two slightly different time zones, so to speak. We will refrain from joining the two groups until everyone is caught up, but don't let time restrain you from posting something.

Legate, I shall look forward with excitement to your PM.

All right, sounds good, I will try to make something... in about six hours from now, I'll look at it and see what I can come up with
