Regin- feel free to include Elsa's response when you fill your save; staring blankly is good.

After a bit of road time, she and Kalimac are going to have a little chat.

Just checking in to remind the players that this game was started on March 6th and was scheduled to run 9 weeks.

Halfway point for the game should be around April 7th.

End date should be the weekend of May 8th - 9th.

Alak,

Please check your pms.

Everyone,

We do need to push forward to the action as Alak suggested. But don't panic. Folk are posting regularly and we will definitely have the option of narrative time condense posts along the trail. We don't have to act out every moment of the trip.

As the disaster specialist waiting in the wings, I am looking forward to your speedy arrival at your next campsite. I love making things miserable for folk.

I have put up a SAVE in which I will do a general narrative of the day's journey. I am going to post on the argument once they have arrived (you'll see what I mean when it's up). What I'm going to do is change the nature of the argument slightly. Instead of the two families arguing separately, we are going to focus it in on the money situation. Elsa is angry that Kal didn't tell her; Kal is angry Harold told his wife; Sarah and Fordo aren't going to stand back and let the Whitfoots jump on Harold. You get it.

While the adults are arguing, Henry and May can slip into the forest with Crispin and Alora, allowing us to work in all of our plans without spreading it out too long.

My post will be up late this afternoon, EST.

Memory - Please check your PMs.

Thanks to Pio for posting our game dates here...it's good to have a reminder once in a while.

Let's get this game rolling!

I put my post up this morning. Arestevana if you have any problems with what Elsa does please tell me. By the way, are we going to start the arguing at the 2nd camp site? How will we start the Chubb argument?

alaklondewen · 03-29-2004, 02:00 PM

Regin, I will do a narrative of the argument in my post, then the adults involved will simply add a post with each of the adults yelling or corning someone. This argument will take place at the next campsite and will involve all of the adults. The Chubbs will have plenty of time during the month (game time) to argue and fuss between themselves about being on the journey. It may prove to be more effective if they fight after they've been on the road a couple of weeks.

I've posted for Kalimac, just so ye knows.

How exactly is the 'little escapade' going to occur? Will there be a little scuffle with the wolves, or will they run off as soon as the adults come into the area?
