I had hope for Boromir's quick escape there for a minute but now I don't know how he'll manage. At least he knows what's been done to him and by who. Then again, with the drug he was just given I have to wonder what he'll recall later.

Author Reply: I had thought he'd get away too - hmmm.... nasty people he's dealing with.

I can't see him getting out of this without help... we'll see who shows up.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.... MOST appreciated!

Based on what poor Boromir went through, I’m even happier that I have never had a hangover. How awful for him, and he wasn’t even drunk. Too bad he didn’t know how to get rid of the drug in his stomach. I don’t suppose he could have stuck his finger down his throat, filled the basin with it and then poured it out of the window. The thought that they gave Boromir arsenic horrifies me. It is definitely something Grima would do.

Author Reply: Well - we'll see if Grima had a hand in this....

As for the poison - I think we're behind quick measures....

She does appear to be the worst sort of herbalist! And love the idea he and Faramir played Hide and Seek down there in the dungeons and figured a way out. Now--to see what happens next.

Author Reply: You KNOW little boys would find the dungeons incredibly intriging. And I'm sure Eowyn was with them.... I can't see her not running around with her brother and her cousin and therefore, with the boys from Gondor. Such fun!

Yes, drugged and soon to be lost, perhaps?

And Grima slew Aunt Indis, did he? Sounds right for the creep!

Excellently presented intrigue.

Author Reply: Thank you so much for the encouraging words! I'm afraid Boromir will have a tough time for a bit - ....

I was nervous when the horse disappeared but now I'm really worried. I wonder if it is Wormtongue that means to harm Boromir or a certain eaves-dropper from earlier. Either way, I fear Boromir will need help if he is to get out of this alive.

Author Reply: There is no way, that I can see, for our beloved Gondorian to get out of this alone... Yet, who knows where he is but those who took him??? Drat...

If I were Boromir, I would have left Meduseld immediately upon discovering that my horse was missing. As for Grima, why Boromir would accept a drink from him is beyond me. The creature is indeed a "snake", and a poison one at that.



Author Reply: Well, Tari - he needs to get a horse. He can't walk all the way to Rivendell... *giggles* though the poor man loses the horse at Tharbad and actually walks all the way from there!!!

Well - Boormir wasn't going to accept the drink - but when the servant popped in and topped it off, and knowing servants have a way of 'testing' the fruit of the vine, he assumed it was safe. However, he didn't realize that Grima has such a vast network working with him in Edoras.

He does now!!!

What is that definition of assume????? *sad smile*

Thanks for reviewing!

When Gríma put the wine before Boromir, I was shouting, 'Don't drink it! Don't drink it!' Oh, Boromir - you know he's a poisoner!

I rarely read stories with Boromir or set in Rohan (I rarely read anything without elves in it!) but I'm glad I clicked on this. I like the intrigue and mystery, and no-one knowing who they can trust.

And poor Théodred being sent to the Fords of Isen. *sniff* We all know what happens to him there ...

Author Reply: I was shouting the same thing - he definitely considered not drinking it till the servant came in and topped it off. He probably thought he was being paranoid. Better paranoid than dead!!! Shees.

Thank you much - I was hoping, even though Grima seems to be behind this, that the element of mystery is there.

Let's not think about the Fords - drat....

Very glad you stopped by - and no, I don't believe there will be any Elves in Edoras at this time... oh - that sounds like a fun title 'Elves in Edoras' - No - go away nuzgul.

Blessings!

You have created a great sense of the atmosphere at Meduseld, just how I imagine it would be before people began to question Grimas hold over the court.
Poor Boromir, he was right to be suspicious of the wine - what a pity he changed his mind.
What is going on? Where is his horse? I can't wait to find out

Author Reply: *giggles* very glad you are intrigued by the tale... It seems odd that things got sooooo out of control, but Sauruman's master, Sauron, even fooled the Numenoreans!

After all, something had to happen to Boromir's horse; when Eomer meets up with the Three Hunters he says the horse THEY gave him came back riderless......

Bless you for reviewing!

This Hathawyn sounds like a very evil person. I enjoyed this first chapter and loved how they went about setting up the meeting. Now, unfortunately, this Hathawyn knows far too much and I can just imagine the trouble it will cause Boromir and maybe Theodred too.

Author Reply: Poor Rohan! They do not know how evil Grima is and how he 'shadows' their every move....

Poor Boromir will pay for this.... and we all know how Theodred ends up *sobs*

Indeed a situation to be careful in. Not a good one at all, with a poisoner on the loose!

Author Reply: I didn't give the poisoner much thought in 10,000 Years - but I did KNOW she was going to come back and haunt Boromir when he rode through Edoras on his way to the Quest - I hadn't, at the time, thought it would be this nefarious!

Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
