I'll cut to the chase: if Gaffer Hugo is not there in lickity split for food and ale, that's unusual, so they'll notice pretty quick.

See, we're stuck again?

Let's say, whoever of you Fin/Kit/Boro has time first should write and move us along. Otherwise I will and I doubt it will be smooth.

I agree with Lommy....
I didn't think Bunny would have to much to say or be too concerned for Hugo when there is bacon and ale in the Inn.(no offense) So if we can get someone to have us all make it into the Inn, others like Lommy and myself can post our characters thoughts.

I'm frankly at a loss how my fellow rpgr's (this is not the only rpg it's happening in) get so stuck because of someone else's post. If you have something you want to write that isn't directly related to the previous post, just go for it. What's the big deal?

I prefer not to hog an rpg, so I give others a chance to post, but if somebody doesn't post soon, I'll double post and carry this little ol' rpg just a bit further, and then I'll triple post if nobody else can overcome their writers' paralysis, or whatever malaise seems to be affecting everyone, until somebody either gets on the stick, or my character dies. Then it'll be all on you guys.

Let's quit making mountains out of mole hills, and get going with this thing, already!

ALL PLAYERS

Yes, please, let's remember you're not writing a Fan Fiction story here - the plot does not have to be predetermined before you write for your characters. Please work from each others' previous posts and not get hung up in how the story should go before you post.

At this point, you have gotten to the Inn. And all have gotten out of the cart and headed for the door of the Inn except for lmp's character, whose gone off toward the stable and has waited in the cart for the ostler to see to the cart and Mosy.

I would imagine your characters have gone into the Inn and Gaffer Hugo is now out of site. No one has seen him wrench his foot.

Please write a post that follows out of lmp's last post. What does your character see as he/she enters the Inn? What smells are in the air? Is your character's tummy grumbling in anticipation? Does your character call out a challenge to the others - "Last one to the table pays for the drinks!"?

Be descriptive; fall into your character and let us know what he/she is feeling, thinking, anticipating, doing at this point. Set up the scene and then let another writer wonder, "Hey, where's the Gaffer?"

Who'll give this a go?

I see the frustration and I know I'm part of the reason, for that I apologize. I assure you I'm working as fast as I can, but I have other things outside the 'Downs to do. I've pretty much cut down everything here to solely focus on this RPG.

I don't want to sound snappy, but before I signed up I said I wasn't going to be able to post consistantly, that there was going to be times when I can't be around at all. From what I got back, that was going to be ok, as long as I could keep up and not "disappear."

I understand the frustration, and I apologize, because 2 or 3 people can't carry an RPG. Now, I'm going to do whatever I can to step it up, but like I said when joining I can't be around every day. I simply can't and everyone else is going to have to start stepping it up to.

I'm going to get a post up but it's going to simply be to move this along.

I just crossed with Gwath, but it looks like it works out perfectly. I had Rudy already in the inn and grabbing a seat next to Brown.

So, Rudy went off to look for Hugo, told Mira to stay in the inn (whether she listens or not is up to you Fin ). He found Hugo and went running off to go get Burt. Take it away from there.

lmp, if I need to fix anything with the Gaffer's dialect let me know.
