If it's the same bog, the rescue will be much easier.

Could be. I never specified a direction, just "away from camp".
I figure Tom can decide whether Einan saves himself, or Ari takes down the gytrash. Both are Tom's characters, and Addy's not using Ari as a puppet so much as signaling him to stop the remaining gytrash.
The combination of beastspeaking and lightning is fun. I never played a magic user before. I like Addison having a lot of untapped potential since it gives her more ways to hurt herself.

^I think I'll have Ari tangle with the gytrash, only to have it pin him, and then Einan can either shoot it or kill it with his knife. A close call, for sure--maybe I'll even have Einan get injured.
Does anyone have any ideas for what Troia can do? I was thinking she could get back to camp, find her sword, and use (or try to use) that. However, she'd probably need the help of another person to fend off the gytrashes.

Just speculating here, but it seems like Loke would snap out of panic mode if he knew Troia was fending off the gytrashes.
Don't forget Addy used her beastspeaking link to (temporarily) blind the gytrash that's pouncing at Einan. Whether that's enough to allow Einan to safely sidestep or Ari to attack unseen can be your call. (If Addy's magic is weaker than she expects, she'll attribute that to the fatigue.)
I think your plan to have the gytrash overpower Ari works fine no matter how effective Addy's magic, since a feral beast in a blind rage would likely outmuscle a smaller, more domesticated beast. Of course, Addy would know that. Maybe she beast-speaks "go for the jugular" but Ari's bite misses the death spot? Or maybe her hope is simply that Einan and Ari combined is enough.

Unfortunately I've had a family crisis today but if you don't mind waiting I should be able to post something tomorrow.

At this point Troia will probably get back to camp first and then Loke can arrive just in time to ambush the gytrash with a throwing axe, allowing Troia to finish it off. After that, who knows. Maybe they go off to save the Rikhard, the wonderful Rikhard of Oz.

Or Troia could get really lost and Thoros could rescue her P: Whatever you want, really!
I hope things are doing better for you Thaane!

Or Thoros could save Bendalitz. Wouldn't that be ironic!

I like this idea. Let's do it!

Sounds good to me! Once Einan stabs his gytrash, the hunting group will head back towards camp--Farrun carrying Addy if need be. I was thinking that they'd come across Bendalitz and Rikhard on the way, since Ben ran in their direction, but the idea of Bendalitz getting rescued by Thoros is pretty great, I had thought about that, heheh. And then everybody goes to find Rikhard, if Thoros doesn't find them first?

Gahhhhhh somebody post something so I can get to Einan! I don't like double-posting. It seems rude. :/

We’re off to save the Rikhard, the wonderful Rikhard who’s odd.
We hear he is a quick little Rik, if ever a Rik there was.
If ever, oh ever, a Rik there was, the Rikhard whose odd is one because,
Because, because, because, because, because,
Because of the wonderful things he does.

I have no idea what goes on inside my own mind sometimes.

I'm not going to comment on who the Scarecrow is. That would be mean.
I don't think double-posting is rude if you play two characters. I do that in Dragon's Egg, especially if I put a lot of energy into one character and I just want to get to the other later.
The only player who shouldn't post next is me. That would be more like double-posting breach of etiquette since Addy, Farrun and Einan are in one place, and of the three, Addy made the last move. If you post Einan after posting Troia, it's fine because each character is moving a different scene forward.
Is Addison Dorothy? She doesn't own the dog, but she makes him do stuff.
(Notice how I shamelessly double-posted?)

I don't mind if other people do it. I hold just myself to my ridiculous principles of internet etiquette.
