I've been playing werewolf... Sorry...
But will go to the thread right now and write an ending to the "counsel".
And as I said in my last post here - I think - the next thing should be the banquet where people would have more chances to meddle with each other in different surroundings, with the power of some ale if not otherwise. But you might wish to fill in any meetings that are somehow in the middle of going somewhere before it?
The main thing plotwise would be that lord Athanar would speak there and make a few announcements concerning the Mead Hall - and the people would react to that.
Anyone can start writing the banquet when it feels like the time for it - let's say from Friday onwards? Thus people would have time to end their discussions & meetings with others before the banquet. Just don't write it into the late hours (gametime) before lord Athanar speaks...
PS. lord Athanar would not open the party by a speech but would speak during the first hours of it anyway.
