I've gotten us out of the village and to a camping spot a little ways down river. It's still night - of the same day as when we had the funeral.

Can someone move us on to the next day - afternoonish or so. Brand will have gone fishing and be back at camp, smoking the fish he caught over the fire. Anyone else is welcome to join him.

Anyone else want to do a little hunting - some small animals that we can cook for dinner.

The Bregos could probably then run into us late in the afternoon or late in the evening then . . .

What do you think?

I'll keep my save still, but will alter the contents of it by the timing of you others and the possible PM-answer from Eowyn. I would like Sythric to have even a couple of words with Eostre, but if Eowyn is not online today, I'll pass it over.

If no-one is doing it, I could make us Bregowarians come to the burnt village in my save (less than 10 hours RL). So if no-one reveals writing that one, I'll do it. But please, anyone having time or wanting to do it, just do it...

PS. I think Naria is right, these "waitings" by the Wulfhamers are not very logical. Could you come up with a narrative reason to wait for a while?

Important PS. So if it is about afternoon or evening when we have the sight of the burnt town (we crossed the river just after the noon), then we should overnight first (still more than 1 day after you Wulfhamers), and Arry's "afternoon", when we might catch you up, will be the next day (gametime) from our point of view? So anyone posting us Bregowarians should pay heed to this need of one night there before any meetings.

I filled my save. If Eowyn is not answering in about 10 hours from now, I'll delete the last part of my post to allow us to proceed (don't wait for the answer!!!).

If no-one has announced writing us to sleep - and seeing the ruins of the city at the horizon, then I'll do it. But I surely hope, someone else could post that one...

PS. In my last two posts I have made some points on how Sythric thinks about you others. I have tried to follow your character descriptions and what you have written so far. Even as it is just Sythric's intepretation, please tell me, if I have got something totally wrong or just forgotten something important that Syhtric should know!

Bregowarians!

As no-one has posted, I will write us to sleep.

Good night everyone!

PS. Eowyn: if you don't like my handling of you in the earlier post, please let me know. I'll change the post if you will...

PS2. Farael, if you don't like the way I addressed others with Osmod, please note, and I'll change it...

Everyone! Please listen to Undome's Meghan playing the pipe flute!! I found it chilling, yet beautiful.

Glad you enjoyed it!

It's a tune called 'Lament for Limerick', a favorite tune of Scottish pipers at funerals. It was originally an Irish tune, though.

I second that.... and I third and fourth it as well. Very beautiful indeed.

Nogrod, if you don't mind I'd like you to change just a bit the words Osmod says... he doesn't quite sound like himself.

"I think we should camp here. We will not be able to get much further before nightfall anyway and this hill should protect us from the wind as well as the sight of the town. Forgive me but I dare not sleep where the town can be seen."

Thanks! =)

Edit: Cross-posted with Undome, even though you wouldn't guess so if you checked the times.... it just took me a bit to come up with the words for Osmod.

I change this. Thanks for the words.
