... as long as its something simple; tunics, surcoats, and similar everyday non-martial items (eating daggers are fine) ... those returning to shop may presume they can find such things in the Market before it completely disperses.

Wolf - when I click on the "Runes of the Heartwood" in the References section I get a 404-Error.

Also, at one point either you or Kel told me what the Horsemark for the Knights of Roth were. Mikal saw it on the horses during the dream sequence at the Lone Pine Inn. He had intended to resurrect it and start using it for his Troop. Can you tell me again what it is?

Wolf needs to update the Reference section to account for the fact that his webmaster put all his graphics in an appropriately named /images/ folder.

But what you're looking for are the Horsemarks.

If I recall correctly what Wolf said, Mohlkavin's Heavy Horse is the descent of the Knights of Roth... their horsemark is the used by the Knights. Didn't you say you wanted to use the same colors, but with chevrons? I think I recall Mikal telling Dazi that when they were talking about the Dragoons.

Yup; Harry uses the Knights of Roth Horsemark

Yes, I think we had that conversation, i.e. using chevrons. So, Just looking for the colours. Harry has them? Sop I can look at what it shown there.......

.....ok, so red and black checkerboard pattern. And it appears no one uses chevrons of any kind. So, a black chevron above a red chevron. Like this:



....that actually works out well as he already has those paint colours for his shield.

Yes... certainly more easily paintable than the Double Star horsemark I designed for Morning Star (which I still need to redesign). It would probably look something like this, I imagine:

Good for me.

Keep in mind that you're not going to see the black paint on the neck of a black horse. Bekkah's little artist Rhoni friend would suggest just giving the impression of a black piece by outlining it in white. Gosh, and her friend just brought her a LOT of white pigment. Of course, it's not easy to come by, and her friend put herself in some amount of danger to get it for Keiko.

I realized that. I had expected to paint a white rectangle and then paint the black and red chevrons over that.

Note, Harry's troop would have the same problem as would every troop that has black in it's Horsemarks.

Sure. Anyone with a black horse wouldn't paint the black, though. Or paint white on a white horse. Use less paint, let the horse's natural hair color do the work for you. <shrug> But you're the one who's going to be paying for the dyes!

Well, that get together attempt was apparently an utter failiure(sigh)

you just have to ride with it... we'll all get together soon enough. I'm just gonna enjoy the opportunities that are presented to me...

Well, just apparently the invitation has now been completely ignored by absolutely everyone, including apparently even those that accepted it. I'll try to find a way to get back in again at some point, I suppose.

Sure makes her look a bit the idiot though.

Look at it this way... you get to make friends with the locals. That's good business there. And by the time you head back up to the town, we might be finished in Keiko's loft.

Ooops.. I thought we were heading for Kadri's meal. I need to fix the geography of this place better in my head.

... But still got completely ignored.o

I'll tune back in when my input has some impact again, I guess.. I had thought it might work out so people could still do the dinner thing In the theoretical evening instead of being pushed forward and presumed skipped.

Yes, Art. Mikal (and I presume Cesare and Peitro) are coming for dinner. It has been only a few minutes since Kadri left. All we've done since we left the stable was walk up the stairs and chat. Can't be more than 5-10 minutes. It is not possible that Mistress Heatherson could have gotten dinner setup in 10 minutes, unless we're not eating hot food.

I expect to show Pietro a bed (5 minutes), head down to the Mill to see about his getting some grain for Djinni (10 minutes, unless we run into Keiko et al there and get distracted), and then go to meet Kadri.

All-in-all shouldn't be more than 1/2 hour since Kadri left them before they show back up.

Well, based on the thread dinner time came and went already.

Yes, I know. Don't know why. Post before that too rushed us ahead.

♪ Welcome to my world ♪
♫ Won't you come on in? ♫

On one hand I am moving things forward so we do not get bogged down and the Sunday posts have meaningful content ..

On the other hand it will take more than a half hour for the trip up to the watchtower and back .... Heck I can't get from my office to my car in the parking garage the quickly and I have an e!evator to help!

And the distance to the tower is just a Lil more ... Add to that not being in a rush and conversations along the way ... It is not inappropriate to have kadris meal starting ... It isn't over yet!

From my tablet between meetings

Perhaps might have mentioned
The time it
Would take and that they would effectively skip then ...

Yes. Since we had committed to dinner, and we knew how long these things would take, we'd certainly have arranged the order to make sure we didn't miss Kadri's meal.

Just to note ... It's not kadri's meal .... It's missus heathreson's meal kadri invited everyone too.

Its nice being a noble ...

Fine.
