Wow I enjoyed grading this! It was so action packed and I enjoyed seeing how each character reacted to the life or death events they were faced with. It brought some interesting things to light and possibly clarified the murky waters of relationships. You guys did a fabulous job collaborating.

Freya, you can certainly tell a great story and I absolutely love Freya as a character. You always stay true to her in your writing, and that’s really important as sometimes people let too much of themselves leak into characters. This was definitely an excellent collaboration between you three. I saw some mistakes that an edit, or an additional edit if you edited once, should clear up.
Wendell was becoming an irritating annoying, however, due to his overwhelming presence every time they were near each other, she often overlooked his behavior in favor of watching the man.
This sentence needs a stop somewhere in the middle. It reads like a run-on. And I saw some misplaced words like scolding fire where it should be scalding fire. Overall, very great!

Wendell, the quality of your posts are always excellent, and you definitely bring a certain sense of character to Wendell that I am absolutely in love with! And not just because he’s sexy. Great collaboration. I saw a few minor mistakes, like knight instead of knife. Things that might be your iPads fault. But overall it was excellent.

Valkan, you also bring a good sense of quality in your posts, and I’m starting to see a bit of who Valkan is as a character. Life or death situations can tell a lot about a person, and I felt Valkan handled them just as his previous character indicated he would. Great collaboration. Saw a few things like me instead of men that may have missed your edits. Overall, though, it was super!

Additional Note: I was a little unsure about how to process the fame, so I talked it over with some other reviewers. It was decided that since the attack was started by Gorroc and Qyona that the fame should be positive. The amounts were decided based on Freya winning a one on one and Valkan and Wendell killing a "bandit". If you disagree with this please let me know and we can talk it out.

If you feel that I've missed anything or have any questions or comments, please PM me!
