Will be posting them before I go to sleep (1-2 hours from now on).

And if I'm not online when you write your post (which probably is the situation), please use Sythric as you will. You should at least meet him - either in the town center or at the SW-corner - as you choose: S will be there waiting for you. He might even volunteer as a scout, as he seems to be very fresh this morning! (You can write him volunteering and coming with Osmod) I am happy also, if someone else wants to go with Osmod. Just giving Farael some space to maneuvre fast, for we really should start meeting those Wulfhamers...

Bregowarians

I filled my "in the village" -post also.

I have a couple of things to note.

1) The wulfhamers posted about chicken running loose, but never took the topic over again. Well, now Sythric has catched them, and found some eggs too.

2) That is the reason, why Sythric won't be at the place where we made a deal. Please feel free to write Sythric's coming in, late, and be sorry - and kind of excusing his being late with the chicken and the eggs. Being at a good mood - the present situation notwithstanding

3) Especially Farael (others too): feel free to interpret anything from Sythric's earlier post concerning his findings. They hopefully are vague enough to have different options to be considered? (feel free to make him tell of his findings, if you wish)

4) Farael: if others do not volunteer as scouts, Sythric will be with you.

... and as I am not sure, how often, and how much I can post the following days, I hope you do not stop waiting for Sythric's response, but go ahead with him. I can yell for corrections afterwards. So use him as you see it fit.

I was going to post, but I'll wait until Farael's filled his save so I fully understand where we're going with the rest of this stuff. I think I understand, but I'm not entirely certain—I'll try to get a post in either later today or tommorow before I have to go to Awana... I'm tired of holding things up and it looks like we're finally getting close to meeting up with the Wulfhamer's, eh?

Eostre has no great desire to go into the town, but will gladly be a scout (I think the pressure of being near a dead village is getting to her)

Farael · 03-14-2006, 11:07 PM

Ok, I wasn't very inspired tonight but I wanted to get that one post out of the way. Anyway, Osmod will go through the town quickly and out the other side, then scouting ahead. I think we should let luck (and the fact that's quite expectable to follow the river not to loose their bearings) bring us to the Wulfham group. How are we going to do the meeting? should we appear at your camp by chance? be found by one of you? what do you have in mind, Arry?

Naria · 03-14-2006, 11:54 PM

If Arry doesn't mind, I can do a post with Incana hunting and see Osmod and Sythric(?) off in the distance and rush back to tell the others. It would make my post a little more exciting than what I have already.

Arry · 03-15-2006, 12:45 AM

Sounds fine to me, Incana.

-- Arry

Folwren · 03-16-2006, 08:45 PM

I just put up a post where Athwen leaves the others again. She'll forget her tears when she hears the alarm raised in the camp and come rushing back, so you don't have to worry about her whenever Incana comes back with the news about stranger sbeing sighted. Or, if there is no shout, then someone could come get her. Whatever is convenient for what happens.

Leod knows where she's gone, if anyone wants to ask questions about her absence - but then, of course, the others there probably observed her going to the horses as well.

EDIT: By the by, Tevildo - I've decided to say nothing of Athwen's response to Leod's snappishness. We'll say it's pretty common and she knows he's, as you've so well put it, a crumudgeon (and for some reason, I think I've butchered the word). But, you might want to remember, that considering she's a girl, regardless or not if it's usual, if you catch her at the wrong time and in the wrong mood, she might. . .well, she won't lash right back because she's got manners, but she'll respond somehow, probably negatively, as girls will.

Goodnight all!

Wulfham, *phew* that took this side of forever!!

I have finally finished and have posted. Let me know if there are any discrepancies. Enjoy....

Valier · 03-17-2006, 10:36 AM

Great post Naria! Arry should I put up a post or should I wait for Dorran to say something about the men? I'm just concerned about the deer should I cover it and leave it, so we can retrieve it later or should I quickly drag it back and wait with the others for a plan?

Folwren · 03-15-2006, 10:32 AM

I've got internet here at home!!

So, that means I'll have brief access on the days that I'm not at work. Enough time to get on, read the game and what's happening here on the discussion thread, and write a couple posts. Very nice for me, I can tell you.

-----

Arry, I'll write a post soon.

Nogrod. . .you asked a question yesterday about the fire, and I just had a thought a moment ago. I don't know if, in the morning, you'll see the fire itself, but it's a good chance you'll see some smoke, maybe. It's only a small campfire, and I don't know how obvious smoke will be on a clear day at a great distance. Just a thought, if you were still wondering.

EDIT: Save filled.

Tevildo · 03-15-2006, 11:39 AM

Valier,

Glad you liked it.

I am thinking if we attempt to ambush the strangers, we should do it as a total group rather than splitting up by gender.....not that Incana or whoever wants to couldn't take the lead in the posting and assault. First, I do think you'd need to get the warning from Dorran that these could be lead men in a party of Easterling or Southern slavers. That would make the situation much more dire. And if they might be slavers, we'd realistically stick together for safety.

But let's wait to see what Arry says as the game founder, since he may have something else up his sleeve or some preferences of his own.

Valier · 03-15-2006, 11:43 AM

Sounds good Tevildo! Arry?

Arry · 03-15-2006, 12:33 PM

That would be great!

You three work it out amongst yourselves and I'll follow along.
