I've gotten us 2 days down the road - about half the way to the Last Bridge. The road is now passing through an area of the country that affords the Trolls and Orcs a little more in the way of hiding places.

It is late afternoon, camp is made, as is the decision to set two companions for each watch.

Orcs and Trolls should make themselves known with some sort of harassment of the group during the night - scare the horses for fun, steal some food and supplies, push a few downed trees across the road, etc . . . baddies having a little fun with their quarry.

The companions can then deal with the problem quickly (no battles here - just recover the horses or whatever and get on the way again). By Thursday, someone should bring the group to the Last Bridge, which is where the East Road crosses over the Hoarwell River.

I'll get something up a little later today.

Kransha, Fordim - is there anything you'ld like your Orcs and Trolls to be doing right now? You can use my SAVE if you need to.

I will see what Primrose has to post before posting mine.

Fordim Hedgethistle · 10-27-2004, 02:29 PM

I've gone ahead and put up a post that follows the horses having been spooked. I hope that it will fit with whatever you have planned Primrose -- if it does not, just let me know and I will edit accordingly. . .

Well. . .only if the changes don't preclude Arrald's plan to flatten a certain hard-to-kill she-Elf!

Primrose Bolger · 10-27-2004, 04:14 PM

The horses are loose.

The camp's awake and some of you good-guys should be starting after them.

Arald and Dim await . . .

Nuranar · 10-27-2004, 06:00 PM

The good guys are pursuing the horses, but have been sidetracked while evading a rockslide.

Fordim or Prim, either of you can wrap up a little more with this round. Otherwise, tomorrow we'll successfully retrieve the horses and get back on our way.

Sorry, Fordim - looks like Arrald's going to have to hold that plan for another day. It was about time Tarondo did something useful, anyway.

Primrose Bolger · 10-28-2004, 04:11 AM

Right, then . . .

Grimm and Broga are bound east, hoping to have time for some fast food along the way as they run toward the Trollshaws.

Will Arald and Dim join them?

And some of the Orcs should catch up, too at some point - we'll want to set up an ambush/skirmish, won't we just after the Last Bridge is crossed?
