So, I got Giles Corey quote straight off the bat, what with being very familiar with the play and, I suppose, a lot of the actors who gave it a go over the years.
The film version of 1996 had Peter Vaughan in the role, an actor of some er... weight. In the BBC Radio version of The Lord of the Rings, he played Denethor. He was on fire.
I’m not saying I’m invested in the story, but I spent some time wondering what maker artefact or power the “sotry-moving action” was!
Anyway, voted for a strategic withdrawal- I figure Anwen will have some ideas of the burden of leadership now, and will resist her instincts to fight on…
Re: Fighting on, I think there's an argument from compassion that these folks all committed to put their lives on the line to protect the town and the people they care about there, and withdrawing when they could still stop them here denies them that chance. But agreed, either way, Anwen is grappling with the burdens of command here and it'll be interesting to see what we pick for her. :)

IIRC, Peter Vaughan was the person you thought would be good casting for Elder Kirs back in Session 11 when we first met him?
Yes, indeed I did!

Oh my, the typos. >_< Fixed this one!
