With the holidays coming, many of us will be more heavily involved in activities with family or friends or even going away. Durelin and I were thinking that this would naturally slow down our storyline. While we've had some RPG's officially "close" over the holidays, we decided not to do that. Our game will remain open, though we do understand that some folks will be posting less often. If you can post regularly, that's great. If not, have a good break and we'll see everyone back in full force with the start of 2007.
Since some people will be missing for the next two weeks, we won't officially do the final battle in the grove till early January. People can keep busy with small skirmishes, tending the sick, orc drinking scenes, character angst or whatever else you can dream up. I'll get a long post ready for the nasties' big battle and put it up around January 1 so people can then respond and begin the serious fight. I may just decide to have the slavers attack some of your specific characters if they're in the grove. If there's anything in particular you'd like from the slavers in terms of the battle and your own character, just let me know and I'll try to include it.
Durelin and I felt that, this way, people can write if they want to in late December but none of us will feel guilty if we are slow to respond. Of course, if you run into any special problems, just post on this thread or drop a pm and Durelin or I will try and help.
After the battle, it's straight back to the slavers' camp to pick up any supplies and goodies left there. That is when our real fun will start! If anyone feels brave enough to pick up an orc minor character, let us know on the thread with a short profile and explanation. We'll need more active posting by orcs. I promise to take my own character Makdush out of mothballs!
Meanwhile, everyone have a good holiday though I do expect to be around and occasionally posting.
