Sorry, very busy with an exam here. Will answer to the thread as soon as I have free time again. (Friday.)

That's fine. You're only missing a little conversation.

Fairly busy tonight. I'll try to post again tomorrow.

The girl's name reminds me of that old Bad Religion song:

Campaign Theme?

I was thinking of the poem Evangeline, by Longfellow. Do you know it? It's a tale of the Acadians.

Starts like this:

THIS is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks,
Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight,
Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic,
Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms.
Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring ocean
Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.
This is the forest primeval; but where are the hearts that beneath it
Leaped like the roe, when he hears in the woodland the voice of the huntsman?
Where is the thatch-roofed village, the home of Acadian farmers --

Men whose lives glided on like rivers that water the woodlands,
Darkened by shadows of earth, but reflecting an image of heaven?
Waste are those pleasant farms, and the farmers forever departed!
Scattered like dust and leaves, when the mighty blasts of October
Seize them, and whirl them aloft, and sprinkle them far o'er the ocean.
Naught but tradition remains of the beautiful village of Grand-Pre.
Ye who believe in affection that hopes, and endures, and is patient,
Ye who believe in the beauty and strength of woman's devotion,
List to the mournful tradition still sung by the pines of the forest;
List to a Tale of Love in Acadie, home of the happy.

I do like that song, though. Bad Religion is pretty cool.

I've been working on a presentation for my speech class [equipment carried by Norman soldiers in the 11th Century], and also studying for my biology exam on Monday. Despite being kind of busy, I'll make time to post a bit more tomorrow.

The best of luck, Ewan!

- I know how hard exams can become to be!

BTW, I am not so sure: Does Cirdan have a horse at all?

A horse! A kingdom for a horse!

Sure, you've got a warhorse. Name him and decide what color he is,etc.

Adam, check your PM.

Anyone need more dersiption, or are you guys able to envision the scene pretty well?

'Tis all right with me. I presume I recognize Benn casting and will merely let him know by a nod he has noticed? Norzak can cast that spell is why I'm saying.
