Good news, I should be able to post tonight after all (G'd bless Google, I felt so stupid when I found an example that resembled what I was trying to do closely enough that I could figure out the rest on google after spending two days looking at my book and any other "scholarly" source)

I don't know how my times will be this week, I'll keep you up to date as much as I can (no matter how busy I am, I always sneak into the 'downs for a bit when I take a break).

I think sub-plots should get going, but I'm not sure a traitor could be worked out. Dissention between the two groups and even within them may happen and some minor (or major?) back-stabbing as well. Yet how could we explain someone trying to boycott a mission that is set to help their villages? we have all left family behind, so it makes it hard to find a plausible reason for a betrayal. From the profile of our characters, I don't think that money or power could work to tempt anyone.

Love story? well, that would be easier to work in, but we need some more interactions! it's far too early to start on that, not even two nights into our journey. We should let our characters interact by themselves and see where will lead us to. It would be nice for a Wulfhalmer and a Bregoware to fall in love while the rest keep on arguing over little nonesenses, but we shall see how things work out. In any case, let's not get ahead of ourselves... and Arry.
