Goes over and gives the body a gentle prod.....

I am definitely guilty of not posting. I have been drowning under a pile of work and a writing block to boot! One way or another, I will get a post up tomorrow that will get us across the plain and into the other camp. (I can't promise you it will be the greatest writing, but hopefully it will do the job!)

I'd hate to see this story grind to a halt so maybe this will give us the shot we need to start moving again.

I am so sorry for my absence. Due to a combination of illness and end of the school year insanity I've been lacking both time and inspiration. But I will try as hard as I can to help get things moving again.

I will get a post up moving the scouts out by tomorrow or wednesday (I'm sorry, I really can't guaruntee tomorrow because of accursed calculus), unless I hear otherwise or you get the chance to post before me, Child.

Oh, as a note - I will be completely gone thursday and most of friday for certain. No computer for over 24 hours! Agh!

I wish life were simpler. I've gotten accepted to all six of the colleges I applied to and Lord, I almost wish I hadn't! Well, by the end of April it will all be decided, and then in early May I will be completely done with school for the summer so I can dedicate myself to this RPG full-time. Promise!

Durelin,

That is great news! I know how time consuming it was for us last year when our son had to make his choice. It's a good problem to have but very time consuming. Have fun choosing!

Congratulations, Durelin! Did you want to bring us to the edge of camp? If so, I'll wait to post....

Durelin,

I also wanted to check with you. Will you be doing the post that gets us into the village? If yes, I'd like to have Makdush get a glimpse of what is coming, and ride back to tell Ishkur and Gwerr....if that's alright with the other two orcs (Regin? Nogrod?).

That would sound good enough.

That would also be one way of making the the two thinking better of the Uruk if he came to warn them early enough while they knew nothing about the timetable of the possible oncoming forces.. then again the two had said they were about to leave some hours ago (to make Makdush get away from the tent) and now they would be caught still remaining in the tent... not a bad thing for the overall plot, I think?

There could also be some heated words about whether they should try to help their friends that are drunk... and surely there would be no time in the end to do anything as the plot requires the others to be caught... So many places for the three (Makdush, Ishkur and Gwerr) to blame each other and to start to work together for better results...

Go for it Child!

Nogrod -

That sounds good. I also got a pm from Regin telling me to go for it.

Unless I hear otherwise from Durelin, I'll do a post where Makdush sees the men coming across on the plain before they actually enter the camp. Then he races back to Gwerr and Ishkur to give them the news. (Just to make sure, I'll even have Makdush overhear some vague snatches of conversation that indicate where the group is going.)
