If you still think the breach is a good idea, I could write that on thursday evening (+2GMT), making maybe three slavers get into the grove and do some damage. We could get some of the women wounded or killed and Hadith would get a reason to get up. If someone wishes to write the breaching before Thursday, that's just fine.
Nogrod -

Could you hold up on that?

Rôg and Aiwendil would like the honor of chasing the last culprits out of the camp, since they've not had a chance to get their blows in yet. Azhar has also agreed to help set up this scene. There will be a final few slavers--fierce and determined and initially unwilling to flee who actually kill a few women and/or children.

Azhar has agreed to be the first one to see the small group break through and ask Rôg for help. I will put up my own save and hopefully fill it in late tonight or tomorrow. That will be a lead-in for Pio's post.

I do need to check on the number of slavers still alive and likely won't get that done till tonight. I promise you, however, that at least two will be alive to make it back to the slavers' camp thinking to retrieve their possessions. The confrontation between the Orcs and the remaining slavers is fine but we would want to make that a short and sweet appetizer to get on to the main course, which is the confrontation between the Orcs and the freed slaves/fellowship. It will be extremely interesting to see who wants to mow the drunken orcs down in their tracks and who will respond to a plea for mercy.

Folwren -- It sounds as if you have your hands full now. If you'd like, you can just bring Kwell back late to the camp after things are over and see that a few women and children have been killed. That's good for some guilt! If you prefer, however, you can bring him back in enough time to do damage to one slaver and perhaps save someone's hide among the women. We've been vague about slaver numbers up till now, and I'm sure we can squeeze one more out. Just let me know what you prefer.

I've also been having access and utility problems. We've had freezing rain -- very rare for where I live, since Houston is more like Umbar! Several of the area schools are cancelled, and none of our power lines are protected underground. Two of my utility "legs" are up (we have 3) but one is damaged, which means lights are flickering periodically. Very weird.
