Outracing the Flames Discussion Thread

[Arry]

I've brought the Wulfhamers to a small village that has been burnt down by Orcs and Easterlings. If all goes as planned we will be joined by one of our cameo character/players early this mornig, Real Time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT:

Let's go ahead and poke about the village for a few posts today. If the cameo writer can't get online by tomorow - I'll go ahead and put up her first post and we can go from there.

Undómë & the Bregowarians

After Meghans happy decision, (Hurraah!) I have tried to move us forwards with a mail, where Sythric and Raedwald have been riding together and remembering the old days.

Undómë: If you do mind of that kind of handling of your character, please let me know. I can change that one...

But really, I do feel, we should be coming into the "ghost-town" in a minute...

Okay, I stuck in another save with a brief summary of my post-to-come after I get back from youth group (I'd do it now, but I have to go... sigh...). I'll bring us the rest of the way into town in my post if no one posts after me to do it (if that's okay), in which case I'll just stick to the approach. How were we going to have our two groups meet up in this ghost town?

Is Eostre really the only cynical/semi-bad character? (muses)

I don't think so. I haven't been reading the Wulfham Gang's posts as deeply as I have the Brego Bunch's posts (I know: bad, bad Maeg) but Vaenosa seems to be something of the Wulfham equivalent. (Although she has just revealed the reason for her attitude, and we've yet to learn about Eostre's past.)

And I don't know how the others percieve Eostre, but Fionn doesn't think she's "bad--" just tough. Fionn, being the happy-and-naieve boy that he is, is somewhat afraid of her.

Just a clarification - the two groups aren't meeting up as yet. So far, the Bregos are still on the east side of the river. Once the Bregos cross the river, then they can head south and catch up to the Wulfham group.


At the moment, the Wilfham group is about a day and a half south of where the Bregos will cross the river. We've just come across a town that's been raided and burned by some Orcs and Easterlings. We'll hang out there until the Bregos can get down to us --- which means, that once you get across the river, you should compress a little time and get in some sort of position to descover our group.

Wulfhamers

Let's do split up for a little while -- an extra horse or two would be good to find. We might use them as packhorses for whatever unspoiled supplies and extra weapons we can find.

Like Valier put in her post - coming upon this wrecked village should make it very real for all of us that this is what could be happening to our village . . . or to us, if we're not careful.

Okay... my confusion was justified by the fact that the two groups are going through very similar things. I'm not sure where everyone is, so... yeah. So Bregoware is coming up to a town and the ferry's beyond that, am I correct? Or do we get to swim our horses across the river?

As only the one town was named, I wasn't certain if both groups were very nearby or not.

As I see it - Arry please correct me if I'm wrong - we Bregowarians are aprroaching the river Anduin from the east, as we are "Outlanders", people living beyond the Great River. Bregoware is situated at the east side of the river, south to Wulfham, which is being situated at west side of the river. So the Wulfhamers have been riding south for a couple of days, and we Bregowarians to the west, south-west to reach the river. Now we come to the river, at a level that the Wulfhamers have passed a day before (or was it 1½ days?).

So after crossing the river, we are about one day behind the Wulfhamers - and should really be "compressing time" then.

But your question about crossing the river will be a pressing one, for there really won't be any ferry at the east side of the river! That's our problem to be solved, before we can meet the Wulfhamers at the west side of the river...
