I dropped in a little post for Haven. If the party does need horses, you know, Haven would have no difficulty in acquiring some and housing those that would be unsuitable for their journey ... --which isn't too far is it...? Whatever you want, Crystal.

Two points:

Raen offered Sandrina one of his knives... and she took it, naturely. (You'll find it in her belt, Chrystal.

)

Secondly, Raen noticed a lone horseman leaving the town. He presumed it was a messenger, sending a message back to the estate that Sandrina and the others were en route. If you want me to change/remove that, let me know.

Everyone's posts look good and I agree.

Liked the twist Himiran.... I added one of my own ;-)

I think my question was missed accidentally... I will repeat it here.

Quote:

Just out of curiosity, how long do you think it will take Sandrina and co. to reach the estate? And is there a general idea of what will happen next? Harold, Arthur, and Samuel will leave, heading somewhere, but then what?

I was thinking too, that it might be interesting if Harold, Arthur, and Samuel were delayed in leaving, perhaps by not being able to hire mercenaries in time or some such. Give tensions time to increase and all that good stuff.

Sorry Firefoot! Okay I'll answer your question really quick.

First, I agree with stalling them. Do something that makes it more difficult to leave. Add more tension. You can add whatever tension or new twist that you want at any time. That goes not only for Firefoot, but everyone else. If you have an idea about sprucing up something or making it that much more intriguing go for it. You don't have to ask me every time you want to. It would take forever for anything to get really good. Just follow your hearts in your writing and allow it to take you wherever it will. You all have free reign, just don't kill anyone in the process if you please, lol :-) .

As to your second question the quest to the estate itself wouldn't take very long. I was thinking a couple of days, a week tops. With the twists and turns you dear people can come up with, the timing in this is semi-completely up to you at this point. If you add people jumping out at the good guys, then it will take a little longer to get around that block. As of right now, we have a block. Sandrina's memories..... and how she is now on the ground asking Raen for help. That's our block at this point. Once we get around this "road bump" then we can proceed to other twists and turns in the plot of our story. So, thus the timing is up to us. I was thinking at looking at about a week for that portion of the story. I thought that because of the twists and turns that I was certain each character would bring to the RPG.

With that being said, I would like to wish you all a happy Monday Evening in my neck of the world.

Until we speak again,

Crystal Heart

I'm back and i'm ready! Morsul, I've done a sorta set up post. Now you can tell Arthur your true feelings!

Firefoot · 09-01-2004, 05:49 PM

I have moved Harold into town to hire some mercenaries. My next post will probably pick up with him leaving after some frustrating bargaining with them. Be warned Perky and Morsul, he will be in a temper. (What else is new?

)
