Wight Fright: "Fog on the Barrow-Downs" Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I left it somewhat vague as to where Willem was. So, it might be plausible if Karl and Jessamy somehow got turned about a bit, that they might hear his van. I think, besides the crunching of the leaves and the horsey snorts, they might also hear the clink-clanking of various tools, pots to be mended, chains, whatever, that are probably hanging on nails just under the van's eaves.

Could sound like some old wight or other creature rattling chains or sword as he clomps along in search of a victim.

That could set the girl off screaming and possibly raise the hair on Karl's neck.....

Indeed... it probably won't take much at this stage... full Violet Elizabeth Bott mode...

I had completely forgotten Just William!! Perhaps I should write in that scruffy dog, Jumble!

Fox terrier ears, retriever nose, collie tail... I happened to buy a copy as a present yesterday and haven't got around to posting it yet...

Hey Evinyatar! Glad to have you jump in. I'll try to post ASAP, but feel free to move things along as you both see fit.

Also, to respond to the earlier question -- I'm totally cool with them actually being lost in the fog (and not that I was just lost in the fog when writing my posts). But I guess you've probably already moved on from that idea.

Anyway....yay, posting. I'll do that soon too! :x
