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) |

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?

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.

Incana and Arry,
I have another idea about this. Don't know if this is a good one or not so please see what you think. This assumes that Osmod and Sythric are off in the distance so that Incana gets only a glimpse of the men but doesn't see them clearly. After Incana runs back and tells our group about the two strangers, Dorran could be concerned and warn the others that the people in question could possibly be "men of the east or south" , possibly those who sometimes go along behind the Orcs, "enslave" any that they find alive, and drag them back to the plantations of the Dark Lord  . Dorran knows this from experience and we already have the evidence of the shield with the "eye". If we use this plot twist, it could possibly make for some tense moments as our own group approaches the others in secret, not knowing if they are friend or foe. Tee Hee..... We could even try to ambush one stranger in the cover of the bushes and then realize we've made a big mistake. Nothing like getting relations off on a good footing..... Would this work, or wouldn't it fit in with the ideas/plans that other posters or Arry already have for the Brego group? Or would it "delay" our return to the road too much? If we did this, we'd probably need to make our posts short and sweet. If you think it will work, I'll do a post right after Naria's.

I like your idea Telvido! I think perhaps the two women left at camp (Incana, Vaenosa) could see the men approaching. Incana could call for help from the men, but they might not hear. Vaenosa is a little "bitchy" today so her reaction to more strangers may be a bit extreme. We could ambush them and question them. Naria should see them first though since she said it first! I think it would be great if we tied them up and poked them with sticks....(Tee Hee)

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. -- Folwren

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.

SAVE filled.
Tevildo, Folwren Shall we get back to camp now and start spitting our catch to roast and smoke near the flames? That way we can be in camp when Incana brings us news of what she's seen.

Wulfhamers and Bregos
It is Osmod and Fion, who are scouting (see the thread) - I suppose. Sythric has picked the hens from the village (which you left there) and is a bit late. By the time Wulfies meet the Brego-scouts, he would be either with the main group, or by someone (who has been left to wait for him), approaching the main group. So Bregos, is someone waiting for Sythric at the center of the village, or at the SW-corner of it (that was the other place to meet)? Or do I just write Sythric taking you up after passing the village? EDIT: See Folwren's post #447 about the possibility of someone of us seeing smoke from their fire, as we are getting nearer to them...

I am putting up a save right after Folwren's. I'll assume she's gotten us back to camp and will start dinner. That way, we'll be there when the other women get back.
I'll be posting late tonight.

Er. . .well, no, I didn't quite get us back to camp. I actually had a question about the fish that I really want answered, and it's not just for Athwen's sake.
Save filled, by the way. -- Folwren

Whoops, I have to run out for a half hour. When I get back, I'll fill in Leod's reply.

About the fish . . .
We are only a little distance from the river and it is late autumn, so the days are colder. They won't spoil between the river and the campsite. It is fine to take back the whole fish to the campsite. We can clean and gut them there, and preferably bone them. They'll be opened up, butterfly style, with a sharpened stick woven the length of each side and stuck in the ground very near the fire so that they get the heat and the smoke. -- Arry, fly fisherman . . .

Thank you, kind angler. Tevildo personally prefers his fish raw and whole, but will cede to majority opinion in this matter.

I've filled in my save and gotten us back from the river.
I've decided to use this post to set the mood in camp before Incana arrives with the news that there are some unknown men prowling about. I figure, if we're already on edge, that will make our later blunder in "kidnapping the men" even more understandable. By the way, I had to move the whole group back. If anyone has any problems with how I've characterized us, let me know and I'll try and edit.

I'm fine with it. Only now I'm debating whether or not Athwen knows that your character is usually someone short tempered and she shrugs off his rather abrupt snappishness, or if she didn't know him well enough and is either hurt of entirely confused. I hate writing about hurt little females and I certainly don't want her pouting, so we'll see. . .
I am sorry you are sick, Naria. That's really too bad. Hope you start getting better soon! -- Folwren

Interesting point, Folwren. The fact that Leod was the only healer in the village suggests that others might have been aware of his reputation as a curmudgeon as well as the fact that he would stop at nothing to help one of his patients.
Naria - I hope you're feeling better soon.

So Naria are we striving to meet with the other group today? Will you be posting a post concerning the others or what is going on? I say we find the group surround them, poke them with sticks *giggle* question and interogate them till they cry....no just kidding but it would be great if we met TODAY R.L.

Happy birthday Farael! (or did it pass by already?)
Hope you'll be better soon, Naria! Bregos! I'm still quite busy RL for some time to come. But I can write short posts every once in a while. So if you, who are riding to meet me just kind of see me somewhere and take me with you. I would probably have to "boast" about the chicken (as Sythric is in a somewhat good mood). Just make the post - and continue forwards. I can come up with the words S says as he greets you after you've done your post... (sending them to you PM or here, so that the poster adds them to the post) Or just try something, I'll ask for changes, if I feel, that totally wrong guy is speaking.

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! -- Folwren

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?

Why don't you leave the deer - cover it hurriedly (maybe the two Bregos you saw in the distance will notice it as they get nearer and wonder who is hunting). It will make them a little wary, I should think. Then come back and join the group. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tevildo You might want to get your little post up about who you're afraid the men might be Then, let's get our little ambush going

OK, I've put up a post where Dorran voices his suspicions.
Please do carry on. Some family business has come up, and I may not be able to post for a few days. Arry, could you carry my character along until I return?

Sorry, it was a bit of a hurried post, but I didn't want to hold us back any longer. Let me know if I made any big mistakes and I'll edit them out.
Anyway, Maeggaladiel.... I'm leaving it up to you to decide whether Fion thinks that Osmod is saying that he also was scared because of the village.... or that he's saying he's also scared because deep inside he wants to join the Riders and feels he doesn't meassure up to the task. Both things are true, but I'm not sure Osmod will admit to both =D React as you may, and feel free to slow us down a bit (We don't want to get to their camp before they had a chance to make their plans)
