Re: Chapter 15 - 722

A wheelbarrow it is, then.

I wonder how well this stuff would hold up after 90 years. Suppose if it was clean, dry, and undisturbed, it would be mostly okay... but what are the chances of that? Assuming they find, say, a hardware store - places like that aren't built to withstand 90 years of disuse.

Ok but consider:

- Lalli and Emil being sent on a "shopping trip" together, apparently just the two of them unless someone's added tomorrow (and if they add Tuuri so help me I'm going to riot)
- Lalli and Emil barely sharing a few words in each others' languages
- What could go wrong

ADD TO THIS:

- Reynir's prophetic vision of one person pushing a wheelbarrow, his footsteps sinking so deep in the snow that it looks like the wheelbarrow's heavy
- ONE person. ONE set of footprints.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG.

Yes indeed, I am considering. :D

...So, clearly this scenario is tailor-made for somebody getting whumped. Of the two of them, my bets are on Emil. But perhaps not?

If it's Emil, then the team's going to lack their flame thrower guy. That might make an interesting trek to the ship, what with having both combatants more or less out.

If it's Lalli, they're out of a scout and the only fully functional mage, leaving only the Icelandic option for dealing with spirit stuff and eight legged horsies.

If it's Emil, well... he's a vaguely mediocre flamethrower guy. Entirely possible that someone else could use his gear after a bit of instruction.

If it's Lalli, they're fucked, unless Reynir pulls out some badass moves somehow. Which is possible, if they finally come across the Pastor.

Sorry for jumping into the topic, but could the Pastor end up being the eight-legged horse ghost thing?

Re: Chapter 15 - 722

I haven't seen anything that would point toward it. What makes you think so?

Re: Chapter 15 - 722

[laufeyknits]

One possible argument could be that she has some experience in leading souls, and that there's a church that looks a bit similar to Reynir's dream vision near the place where ghosties originally began following the team. Nothing more would point toward it though, I think...

Emil is just giving Lalli a wheelbarrow ride, nothing ominous about that at all, noooooooo~.

Oh hell, I hadn't thought that that could be what Reynir's vision was pointing at, and now Mikkel's "return before nightfall" sounds so much more ominous. :/
