Why don't you move your SAVE - to after Undome's and post about getting going to the western bank . . .

My post concerned getting Raedwald back to the east shore: what people did, and how the ferry works... Now those both things are already done (in a bit different manner), so it doesn't fit. But I'll have some work to adjust my save to the current situation, and I'll try to see, if I can use parts of my post in it...

We seem to be rushing towards you now - and probably that's just good. It opens totally new possibilities...

piosenniel is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
It would perhaps be good if the groups got together say by the start of next week at least.

Arry proposed a 12 week game, and 6 weeks of it are now gone.

If there is just anyone writing, I quess our groups could meet on RL Sunday (one post over the river, one or two, or perhaps one/each riding posts, and then meeting the Wulfhamers).

Could that kind of a timetable work?

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...

That would be good . . . what do the rest of the Brego's say?


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

Wulfhamers

We'll need to be setting up camp at least for a while - say at Leod's cottage, where there wasn't much destruction.

Does someone want to propose doing that? Maybe we should drag all the bodies of the villagers together and burn them in a funeral pyre of some sort to honor them and keep their bodies from being picked apart by the carrion birds. I don't know that Brand will want to even touch the dead Orcs, so we could just leave them to rot.

Anyway that would occupy some of our time while we wait for Bregoware to catch up to our position.

What do you think?

Ok, I put up a save, hopefully to be filled this afternoon after my lab. Should the lab take more than expected it'll be filled by tomorrow morning at the very latest.

Sorry Nogrod, I didnt' catch what you meant =) Would you mind explaining again?

Must agree! Didn't kind of catch, what was it that you didn't catch...

But I suspect you haven't read earlier posts or compared them to the actual story-thread.

We kind of cross-posted with Undómë - after she had first requested that someone else might depict how Raedwald got back. I promised to make it from Sythric's point of view: to narrate the happenings from the east shore and try to find out a way to use those pulleys with some effectiveness (and to get us all in some reasonable places and doings as everything seemed to be so astray). Then I spent some hours coming up with it, and meanwhile Undómë had gotten us all to a ready-loaded ferry, with quite different basic-ideas...

And Undómë, I'm not blaming you on anything! I understand you were anxious to get us going. I understand that, because I have been as anxious too! I know the feeling!

That's why I talked about us talking more openly here on the discussion thread about when people are able to post and when not. So that we wouldn't have these unhappy situations where the active writers - both trying to save the day - cross-post each other...
