Are we ready to go ahead? Does anyone need extra posts or time? Have I/we forgotten anything?
Folwren -- I think you could definitely ride into position.
If anyone needs to get up something before the battle, please do a post or save. Reagin says he'll try and do a post or two for the slavers but everyone is welcome to use them as needed. Please don't kill off my character Imak, since he is such an honorable chap.
Also remember that the winds and sand will be blowing so take that into account in your posts.
My own access this week could be a little iffy. I have a spouse going for an operation and very brief hospitalization starting Tuesday and then he's recooperating at home for the rest of the week. Nothing terrible or earthshaking but I may be tied up more than usual.
