Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread

This might save time for further complications for people wanting to head east. Does that sound alright with you LMP, or should I just say that they came back the way that they went, from the south

Oog. Now I'm confused. The map has the scar in a straight east to west line just north of Scarburg. I had thought that the hunting party had crossed the scar and went hunting in this prairie just north of the scar. Was that wrong? It would take miles of going out of the way to go east or west to get around the scar to hunt in that northern prairie. To the south are land holdings; to hunt there would be to hunt on land owned by others, which would not be appreciated by them. So those are the facts as best I understand them. Do with your posts whatever works best with the facts of the situation, Groin.

If you feel that strongly about it, Noggie, name them what you want; after all, they've been handed to you to play with. Give them personalities as much as you wish. I'm really rather happy with what Groin has done with Lithor.

I guess that would be the better option.

My sense of things is that Dan went off east and Stigend and company went off west. That puts them on opposite sides of Scarburg. And add on top of that, that it will take quite a walk westward (a few hundred yards at least) to find enough of the kind of timber needed.

Well, I'm not feeling strong about it but was merely joking about the vote-tallies... Okay. I'll see what to do with them.

That's perfectly fine with me.

Okay. I have my first post on Stigend & fellows searching for wood up and posted.

It would have been optimistic to think I could tell such a short story in one post after all...

I'm doing my best to make the rest of it today as well.

Alright, I think I'm fine with leaving my post as it is. The hunting party wanted to go east and hunt somewhere near, but not at, the Entwash so they could easily get around the scar. Sorry for all the confusion.

Thanks for your approval of Lithor, LMP.

Ok, Noggie :

or with the æ thing if you want, but that just makes it harder.

If you wish to move forwards feel free to do it. I can always add my last things concerning the wood-party to my post there. And I will try to do it tomorrow. Now I think I need some sleep.
