Sarin: That is too bad. I don't want to kill off the Orc Guard, but that did happen, quite a lot, to those poor Orcs. Hopefully you can avoid this sort of thing in the future, and RP with us on a more permanent basis.

I suppose I could make the Orc Guard a 'collective' character, in which we all RP for that character, should the need arise. If anyone is interested in taking up the Orc Guard wholly, I could support that idea as well.

Witch_Queen: That is fine. You could just do one long 'catch-up post', if anything major has occured. If not, just slide a post in.

Well, we seem to be missing a few posts for the 'first day'. However, it is time to move on. I will give everyone else who has no posted/would like to post again, until Friday to put a post up. After that, I will post the Moving out/Beginning of the Second Day post.

Just bringing this forward:

Game Outline:

Day 1: Beginning posts within camp/set out for Dale

Day 2: Gondorian host reaches Dale, comes across a burned out village

Day 3: Host comes across fleeing Men of Dale

Day 4: Host attacked by Orc Raiders (raiders will either be killed entirely, or remnants may retreat to Gundabad)

Day 5,6: March to Gundabad, Goblin relief force nears the Mountain from the West.

Day 7: Arrive at Gundabad, set camp.

Day 8: Parley with Orc Chieftain, Scouts locate Goblin host.

Day 9: Gondorian camp attacked by Goblin relief force.

Day 10: The assault on the battlements, final stand of orcs.

Alrighty, well, it's time to move on to the second day of the journey. I will have my post up shortly, which will consist of a short 'Moving Out' segment, and the beginnings of the second day's forced march.

Witch_Queen: Please Fill your Save in as soon as possible. If it conflicts with my post, I will edit accordingly.

Edit: Alright, my post is up. If either of the two Gondorians would like to be the 'scouts' sent out to find the campsite, and come across the ruined village, that's be just dandy.

The Men of Dale should now be nearing the Gondorian host. The Orcs following the Raider commander will be hot on their trail as well.

Posted again, finally. I hope it's alright. It takes place around dawn, so if you want to move it somewhere before yours, that's fine with me. And of course I can always edit.

CaptainofDespair: If it seems like I've got the goblins moving a little fast, I have plans for slowing them down. But if you have no problem with them coming to the aid of the orcs at Gundabad a little early, then I can do that too. Since that way maybe I'll get some more action.

Soredamor: Your post is fine. You are on a more fliud timeframe than the Gondorians or Men of Dale, so it gives you a bit more freedom day-night wise.

Captain and Sore I enjoyed reading your posts, and like how smoothly this is running along right now

.

Firefoot: That's fine, I was planning having to flee again, as the orcs come closing in. So you can either meet up with me before the orcs attack, or I we could meet up after the attack, either way, sounds good to me.
