* Breelanders All: Planning Thread *

Tara,

You're making sense but confusing me! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Ie. I, at least, need some more time to think about this. The women and children would bring a whole another dimension to the story...

But I think one thing is for sure: the group of outlaws doesn't consist solely of practised 'warriors' but rather of men forced to take arms and fight for their lives.

There's another matter Cami and I have briefly discussed by PM and that would be the game time. Originally we decided on two months (~September>end of October) but on a second thought, now that the part of the outlaws has come to the fro, the whole thing with the band lurking around for two months without acting doesn't seem feasible.

So, our compromise was 4-5 weeks game time (maybe from mid-September till second/third week of October? Or later, with winter nearing fast?). So, what say everyone?

This next bit is from Cami's PM:

The folk of Bree are going to need a certain amount of time to fight, make up, and then get ready for the bandits--rebuilding dykes and such. The outlaws can be split about their decision to attack till mid-way into the game and then later decide on going forward. The rangers might want to indicate the attack as a possibility at first, later as a certainty??? Perhaps, the outlaws have heard that more of their number are coming along behind them on the migration route, and they want to wait till these extra reinforcements arrive. Or perhaps the dearth of food gets worse so that even those who were at first reluctant decide to go for it?

The rangers being themselves not quite sure if the attack is really coming or not sounds like a good idea to me; this would most likely make sure that no concert will be achieved in the meeting as practically no-one wants to co-operate to fight of a "possible" threat, considering the atmosphere in the town. I hope you caught my meaning here...
