Can you just give some direction to your priestess/warriors of the eye as to what they can elaborate on right now.

Perhaps they can do detailed plans for preparation to go on this mission: get the supplies seen to, the men armed, maps of the areas gotten, who will ride on what, where will you all meet to begin the journey, etc.

One of them can be your second in command, looking to curry favor with the Eye and other leaders of the Temple by doing better than your character. You can simply write yourself off for the long weekend as being closeted with the Great Eye - everyone will of course grouse that you are an overstepping, work-shirking parasite whose time, in their opinion, as a Temple favorite will come to an abrupt end when you fail in the mission and they outshine you by saving the day somehow.

And of course the soldiers are the ones on whose backs the burdens of all this lie the heaviest - they should be complaining all over the place for better pay, better rations, and maybe some grudging respect for their most important part in carrying any of this off. This could all take place in some seamy dive where they are drinking their 'farewell cups' (and a lot of them) just prior to shipping off.

The Tribesmen can continue to deepen their side of the story, so that there is a well set up storyline on their part when the Army of the Lidless Eye advances upon them.

How about that? Everyone deepen their side of the story, let us see more of the venue your character is operating in, form some liasons, let your dark, seamy side hang out . . . until next Monday, when Durelin will set the Army of Darkness on the Road.
