Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Okay, wow. I posted. I do not like it at all, it's uber long, but I did it anyway. If it doesn't make sense, PLEASE tell me. I wrote it while I was super tired...

The end there...I figured if a pregnant lady was ever going to faint, now would be a good time. If it's ridiculous, let me know and I can take it out. I feel like it's kind of dumb, but it amused me, so I kept it.

I think I'm viewing the timeline like this:

The trials end

While Coenred and the men at arms go out and start their drills:

Lithor goes out with men-at-arms.
Javan apologizes
Saeryn and Athanar finish their discussion
Matrim and Balvir give their message to Adhel.
Erbrand works on his tanning stuff.
The two W's are riding.

The drills continue while:

Saeryn goes to her room.
Javan finds Raban, the other kids do what ever.
Adhel and Matrim go to speak with Athanar.
Scyrr and Erbrand fight.
Lithor fakes the lamed horse and starts to bring him back.

The drills continue......while:

Adhel and Matirm leave Athanar.
Erbrand flees back to the mainhall to get his horse and leave.
He and Lithor meet, they talk, they plan, they pack. . .they leave.

The drills end probably not long after Erbrand and Lithor leave the settlement.
Scyrr is dragged back to the courtyard while the men are returning from drill (that means he is dumped somewhere not in the middle of the courtyard, otherwise, everyone would notice - it's more like on the edge, isn't it? By the kitchen?)
The two W's return...

And I think that's where we are, right?

I believe a lot of time can actually pass between the trials and when Erbrand and Scyrr fight, because Erbrand was working for some time before Scyrr even comes near.

I may not be remembering things right, plus I know I am not thinking very clearly anyway, so correct me if I'm wrong. What I wrote above is my impression of how the time is working out....this way, everyone can be back where they need to be and we have no confusion of time, no bouncing back and forth.

What happened, did I scare everyone away with my post?

Please say something, someone! I'm lonely. Plus, I'm excited about how things could continue.

Don't worry, don't worry!

I, for instance, haven't read your post yet, as I want to have proper peace for that and as I am sure it will make me want to post (I want to post anyway, for Hilderinc in the stables for instance), I want to be sure I have time after I read it - and I had a lot of stuff for school to do now. So just wait a while, hopefully tomorrow will do it for me

Oh, aside from that, only one thing. As I assume Scyrr would have wanted to participate in the drills (well, not wanted, but he was supposed to!), I actually thought that the encounter with Erbrand happened earlier, something like the soldiers were about to leave in a minute, Scyrr left to the stream, sort of hoping he won't be late or not too late, and then he got sort of stuck... But I guess we can sort of "hush up" the logic of the timeline and leave it be

Legate, I had forgotten that Scyrr would have to be at the drills. I don't know. It seems to me that if he were going to the dirlls, he would not have been down by the water to even start a fight. We obviously have to bend the timeline somewhat, but I don't know how.

Still looking forward to people's posts...

Well I think we can just brush it under the table, really. Nobody would have noticed it unless we started to make a timeline

I mean, I think it's okay to think that it happened just before the soldiers left, then Scyrr was dragged back to the camp, lying there for a while and whatnot... I think let's not think about it.

And for that matter, yes, I am sorry, I didn't get to read/write anything yet. I was totally busy up to yesterday... now let's see, I am sure I will post something... eventually... but hey, am I the only one around here anyway?

No, but see above...

Okay. Sorry for missing the thread for just a too loong a time.

But I have now posted for lord Athanar and looking at the ending of my post some people are coming... feel free to be the ones... or post for Will or Scyrr.

It might be a technical question, but how about we just said that Scyrr took part in the drilling in the first part of it and then - for some reason - had to come back to do something (he was the one to be the "kitchen-aid" to carry water or something, he slipped away to get some snack while there was a short pause, his horse was injured slightly and he had to get some balm for it, some of his gear broke and he went to find a replacement... whatever).
