Hiya!

There is no problem whatsoever with your in-character actions. Eirlys is your character, and is free to do whatever she likes. The problem is that having described an action by your character, you then described the results of that action. As you didn't design the environment that the game is set in, have never seen the NPC character sheets, are unaware of unseen NPC activity, etcetera, the course of events you created is quite incongruous with the rest of the setting. Even casting a spell is something that might not go as planned, especially in a reasonable Dominion Aura (you also forgot the frost...) Each action you wrote the result for made the story diverge further and further from the setting.

You basically became the primary story-guide, regardless of intention, but not to worry.

I'm afraid you are committed to playing Eirlys. If you drop her, you will have just a single companion character and second place in the apprentice queue, behind Cedric.

By the way, I'm not annoyed at all about all this, despite having to scrap and rewrite plot, etcetera, etcetera. It is only to be expected that we are all from different PBEM cultures.

Cheers m'dears, James.

I'll not normally put Longinus' thoughts into a story plot where everyone can read it, but that last edit is for you. If he's going to be mostly 'disapproving' of Eirlys, you might as well get some enjoyment from getting under his skin even when it isn't so noticable. --Corbon 20:44, 17 March 2006 (PST)

From the story:

"Other than that one, who reeks of summer," she added, with another wink to Phaedrus.

Another wink? You seem to have deleted the first. --Samuel^<Talk> 02:12, 19 March 2006 (PST)

Polecat

Just a quick question. I see you are using italics and normal font for his speech. I'm presuming the italics are latin and the normal is Welsh. Is this right?--Perikles 02:02, 17 March 2006 (PST)
