I've filled my save.
I have mentioned Fionn and Eostre being the one's to bring the rope (as Raedwald was at the other shore, Meghan was eating and Osmod was talking to Sythric quite late). I hope this is fine with you. Other choices would break the logic, I think.
All this latest hassle, I think, was due to the uncertainity, about when people would be able to post, and who should take charge, and how soon.
We probably should discuss these matters more openly at this discussion thread. It's quite frustrating to come up with a good story and then to make it all over again... leaving the nice parts out, because they don't fit the story, meanwhile told, anymore. It's all ok. by me now, but let's be more careful in the future?
My first contribution to this: I hope someone else gets us over the river, pretty soon - as we seem to be in a hurry...
