Well, I wasn't suggesting you should kill off your characters - I just think I might kill mine: Jen was supposed to die all along and I think it would be amusingly ironic if T-G died... let's see how evil I'm going to be with it...

But, please, post: time is running out...

Ok. Lommy, I'm not sure if you want your characters to die now, but I left it open for you. I think it might be too grim if they are killed in front of the friends, though. Do you want them killed in your epilogue?

If so, the noise that I left in my post can be my fellow prisoners escaping. Miko alluded to them in his first post. You can write around them, though. I'd rather describe them myself.

So, I will post once more for the story, and once more for the epilogue.

Maybe that would make more sense. I think poor Jen could die of her wound and the bandit leader woman could have escaped and kill Thin-Gloomy in my last non-epilogue post... so on the following day in-game time.

But if you want to write about the escaped prisoners, should you then continue now? Then Val could post something and maybe get us find a camping place and go to sleep. Then, I could write about the next day: they would go to fetch the treasure and the two of my chracters would get killed.

Then we could just write the epilogues and be done with it. Any comments/ critcism/ approval/ better ideas?

Also, hmmm... I'm wondering whether I want to make my last post just a little nasty, or more than a little nasty. (Not too gloomy in any case, but it's more like a question of whether it should be just wicked or more even wicked...) Opinions?

Ok, I will post next. I'll try to do it tonight. Then Valesse can finish up for the two of us.

What about the epilogues? I have a feeling we may get into a hurry with them... Should we ask pio if she would keep the game deadline as it is, but could move the epilogue deadline/ closing time by a few days? Or will we get everything done? I just think we may end up short of a few days...

Or will we just bury the thought of epilogues? Basically, we can just leave the ending a little more open...

I'm happy enough not doing an epilogue. We'll see.

I think no epilogues sounds fine and probable. I'm also leaning to think we can thereby leave the Elves and the Dwarf in the woods. If someone is terribly interested in what happened to them, they can make a new RPG out of it.

Valesse, please, could you post soon. I don't wish to pressure you but it's Thursday now and our deadline is Saturday. I will write my last post (which will also be the last post for the whole game) on Saturday, but you obviously need to post before that, so preferably today or tomorrow, right? Because if you too wait until Saturday we will be in a time zone confusion, especially as my timezone is much earlier than yours and I won't be writing the last post 6am my time on Sunday morning or anything... Or if you really have to have it until Saturday, then please wrote it in the morning/noon your time because then I have time to write my post before I go to sleep (because our deadline is due by the time I wake up, for sure).
