I need the basic outline of your surprise - you and whoever else is in on the planning can handle the details.

Save filled.

I certainly hope Brand is close behind on that trail, or Dorran will be toast....

Whew! I'm back. Sorry I was offline all weekend; things are getting busy.

Yeah, I realize Fionn is kind of a stereotypical naieve hero-type, and I'm hoping I can kind of flesh his character out a little bit over the course of the game. Not quite sure how I'll do that, but I'm considering it.

Question

Will it be alright with the Bregowarians if I write a post to get us to late night - so that Nogrod can come on board?

Works for me... I was waiting for you to talk to Raewald, but if you want to get us ahead in time, just make sure you add somewhere that Osmod made a little drawing with a branch again. (Edit: and if you feel like asking what it is, he didn't tell anyone what it was without being rude either... just sort of vague)

I have this whole week off school, so I can post frequently if others are around too!

As you might quess, that's all right by me...

Just don't forget the night-watch. You need someone there!

Probably you would have to decide, whether to let the fire go on (keeps animals away, but might attract "visitors") or to kill it (no-one sees you, but you'll be cold).

I'll write my "coming in"-post according to your decisions about these ones'. I sure have seen your fire earlier on in the dark, and can find your place following that sighting.

I've left 'Osmod' at the first watch . . . Rædwald will take the second. So - it's up to you who your character encounters. If it is my character, then please do allow me to write whatever response is needed for him.

The fire will be left going - it's well banked, so it will no doubt die down to glowing coals to be left for the morning.

You can, of course, instruct the group the next night about the possibility that leaving the fire going might not be a good idea.

Well, if you don't mind, I 've written a quite easy "coming in"-path. It had to be Raedwald at guard, because the time would be nearer to two or three o'clock am. when Sythric arrives. If you - or anyone else would like to have a more dramatic entrance, please let me know. I can do that too. But because I think we should firstly and foremostly go for the relationships and character-building, I think this is the easiest way to go forwards...

Undómë: If you mind myself coming in this easily, would it be allright, if I just quitted my message after the fourth paragraph? You can continue from that one on, and I can delete the last paragraphs after you have reacted, and then go on within the lines you have opened.

But even with my post as it is, you can (and should!) make your own viewpoint to be voiced! It would be good to have your post next to mine, describing the situation from Raedwald's point of view - and probably getting it forwards from the situation I have left us in...

Well, basically it's the question about how big a thing we will want to make this to be... I would be ready to slip in just this easily, have some discussion, and then leaving the rest for tomorrow. But if you think this is bad, I'll be sending you a more careful "approach"-post tomorrow (RL-time).

But anyhow: an experienced soldier would not approach a friendly camp that doesn't know of his arrival with stealth! So it's clear, Sythric will declare himself from a secure distance...
