Personally, I think it will be a pity if we just skipped it with one post. I mean, if LMP really does not mind (or can post for other characters meanwhile), I don't think we are in any "hurry hurry" rightaway. And since this meeting the landlords was sort of the "most epic" part, the sort of "epic plot" aside from general hanging around in the Hall (and one of the main reasons why Athanar and his people came, anyway), I think it won't do if we just passed it with "And the next day, they visited the lords, threatened them a bit and came back home". I am, of course, speaking especially for my character(s?) as this is finally the place where the soldiers are supposed to be.

Otherwise: there has not been still any official proclamation on Athanar's part concerning the fugitives; is he going to leave it be (since they haven't been caught) and keep it just for rumors among the folk? Not sure if this is Athanar's style and probably not any lord's style, anyway. So perhaps now that the parties return and report, Athanar might want to put some "official position" forwards? (This is probably to Foley and Dury, but depends if they want to write about Thornden and Coen reporting, or if Nog can make it with one post and write about how Athanar reacted.) This is probably also related to Wynflaed, like Mnemo said, and all these various points of view can meet...

Likewise, the "common folk" (including both peasants and soldiers) can still react to Erbrand and Lithor's disappearance and the fact that they haven't been found, and also to react if Athanar makes any official proclamation (that will sort of give the basic impulse from which it will be easy to write). Or even if he tries to hush it up for some reason...
I think the point is that here we have good chances to shape our characters, and there are still so many unsolved things, the old-new Scarburg thing a bit brought forth by this again, old friendships Erbrand had, etc, etc...

Anyway, this looks like it could be a lot of things, but I think it depends only on how fast we post, like, it can be done as fast as in one day RL, with let's say two posts from each person. (That's not supposed to be hurrying people up, that is more like encouraging in case it started to seem to somebody that we have million posts in front of ourselves and we cannot possibly ever finish doing that. There used to be times when we'd write such a thing in day or two just on a rather random basis, I think, without having too much illusions, that we could do it over a week...)

Or should we like write one of the meetings together and then let the others to go past by just one post? Maybe getting ready to go there, the first meeting... (This is the option I'd prefer) I mean if we start writing all those confrontations one by one it will take month(s), but I'd like to see you others writing something on that anyway. And we might have a chance to strengthen (or lessen) some dawning friendships there when they face some real trouble together?

I think one meeting is fine - unless somebody gets a brilliant idea about doing something different in different meetings. But basically, just like you say. Let us see once we are there...
