Crystal Heart asked me to post this for her since she will probably not be on today or tomorrow.

As she and I were discussing, this game was originally slated to end on October 16, which is less than three weeks away. At this point in the story, it's important that we get to the central conflict, where Sandrine and her family will regain much of what they've lost and the bad guys will bite the dust!

This is the basic outline of the game for the next three weeks that Crystal wrote:

Quote:

1. Sandrina and friends leave the estate and head deeper into Rohan, searching for Sandrine's mother and father. Sandrine is worried something bad has happened to them. Meanwhile, Harold, Arthur, and Samuel, along with a few of the men they hired, meet up and decide to get to Sandrine's parents first and kidnap them. They write a threatening note to Sandrine in which they tell her to stop her search for her parents, or something bad will happen to her. (One week real time)

2. Bad guys ride out and find the good guys. One of the bad guys afixes the note to his arrow and shoots it, narrowly missing Sandrine's head. Bad guys ride off looking for the parents, since they've discovered their tracks. Good guys read the note and ride off frantically some ways behind them.

Bad guys find and seize parents at a small cabin in the woods and threaten to kill them. Just as the bad guys are about to ride off with Eowyn and Henry, the good guys arrive and attack. There is a fight and they seize back the parents. Henry is furious about the injuries to his daughter. The climax is a one-on-one dual between Henry and Harold, and you know who wins!

(One and a half weeks real time)

3. Final scenes are set several weeks later. Bad and good guys are now back at the estate. Bad guys are led off as prisoners either by the Rangers or soldiers from Rohan. Sandrine's family celerates and gives each member of the company a reward. ( 4-5 days real time)

This is a lot of ground to cover so you're going to have to try and push forward quickly. You can finish out your present battle scenes, and then immediately get going on this. Everyone should read through the outline and try to make your writing hook into this and push the action further ahead with each post. You can certainly plan with each other on the discussion thread, or pose questions to Crystal after her return.

Meanwhile if I can help in any way, other than being a cheerleader

, just let me know.

Okay, looks good. I'll try to have a post up tonight, within 24 hours at the absolute latest.

Thanks, Firefoot...

The bad guys' plans are in motion. Harold's getting just a touch (

) arrogant, should play well into the good guys' hands. (Don't tell him I said that.

)

I added a short post about Anora. I've dropped my math class and should have some time to come up with more than I have been doing.

Guys I really need some help. I don't know how far I can take a scene. Can I end a battle? Start something new? Help!?
