Fantastic tale of the Troll, Jerusha. Wonderfully told. I want to hear it again.  LOL.

[Jerusha]

Thank you, Laurna, but the inspiration was from you and revanne.

*Raises a mug of ale in toast to the tale*

I am glad to read that Ailidh did not Portal back to her home, only to find it already in the midst of a takeover. I was afraid for her, and was trying to set up Dhugal if he needed to come to her rescue. Didn't I read somewhere that Valerian had said they had already infiltrated Trurill. I am still a little worried for the Baroness's well being. At least until Jass gets home. I figured they(Dhugal and Mirjana) would check the portal energies after they discover no horse had gone missing. Perhaps instead they will find that wind blown letter from Ailidh on the floor somewhere.

And I love Darcy's diversion. A little jealousy there? I can understand Darcy's protective nature. And I can assure you that Washburn is noticing it too. He even mentioned it in an aside to Aliset already. Although, he would not say it where Darcy might hear. Not yet anyway. 

[Evie]

I LOL'ed at Darcy's "diversion"!     And yes, I do believe there's a bit of jealousy there. 

I think when I wrote that earlier bit, I had Valerian's agents in place in readiness for an attack on Trurill (i.e., they were planning some sort of an inside job to lower its defenses and take it over while the lord and lady were away), but I don't think I wrote that they had actually taken over the place yet. But thanks for reminding me; I'll go back and reread what I posted earlier to make sure there isn't a conflict.

FYI.... I have modified the Trait List. The Forum post version is not yet updated, I will be updating that tonight when I get home.

However I have the new one attached.

[revanne]

Apologies for Columcil's absence. He is too busy sitting in front of a log fire in the Forest of Dean for a few days holiday - and looking for the Sword of Gryffindor from time to time. Ooops wrong universe!

[Evie]

OK, I reread what I wrote earlier about Brioc's and Valerian's plans for Trurill.  They do have some men loyal to them who have already managed to infiltrate the ranks there, but they were planning the actual takeover "within the week." Doubtless they have already been laying the necessary groundwork. With Ailidh's unexpected return, of course, the separatists in place there will need to move their plans up from "Soon" to "Immediately" if they want to have any hope of taking over the keep before Jass can get there. Fortunately Ailidh has a loyal O Ruane retainer at her side....

So defending yourself by casting a ball of kinetic energy now falls under Telekinesis?  OK, I can see that.  But if someone who doesn't have that trait were to want to attempt it anyway (for instance, if Aliset gets caught off guard without her daggers at hand), we can still try it at a disadvantage as long as we have the Power trait, yes?  Just double-checking.

Sure sounds good.

Well, Darcy was in charge of Alister's safety until Sir Washburn arrived and kind of took over.  Then Alister turned into a very lovely "she" to complicate matters.  They are two robust young men!  As Darcy reflects, some changes in his life are easier to bear than others.  I would not want any rivalry to become a major issue in the story, though.  They have enough to contend with already.  (Remembers the threat of merasha soaked crossbow bolts.)  *shivers*

[Evie]

Speaking of threats to our lives, or at least our mental well-being, are we ready to move on to the following morning yet?  (I figure Aliset's next scene would logically be her changing the horses' appearance--assuming the dice are kind--in preparation for riding out with Columcil.  And that I will probably end up being the one writing that scene, if Columcil is off looking for misplaced magical artifacts in the Forest of Dean.    )

[Laurna]

Perhaps we should all go to the Forest of dean and hunt artifacts. It would be a lot safer than leaving Droghera. LOL
Columcil and Darcy need to work out for good who is going with Aliset, they leave just at predawn, and who is staying (according to what the town folk think) but really going with Washburn.

I have half the scene written with Washburn leaving in secret around midnight with one companion. He feels it safest that that companion should NOT be Aliset. In truth, Wash could leave alone and let all three leave in the morning, but that might look irregular to anyone watching. So today is just the set up for tomarrow's leaving town. I will post Washburn's part after work tonight.

I hope the Trurill coup gets delayed indefinitely.

Am I correct Washburn (and I think it will be Darcy at this point) will be leaving via the tunnel beneath the city walls?
