Just a clarification - the two groups aren't meeting up as yet. So far, the Bregos are still on the east side of the river. Once the Bregos cross the river, then they can head south and catch up to the Wulfham group.


At the moment, the Wilfham group is about a day and a half south of where the Bregos will cross the river. We've just come across a town that's been raided and burned by some Orcs and Easterlings. We'll hang out there until the Bregos can get down to us --- which means, that once you get across the river, you should compress a little time and get in some sort of position to descover our group.

Wulfhamers

Let's do split up for a little while -- an extra horse or two would be good to find. We might use them as packhorses for whatever unspoiled supplies and extra weapons we can find.

Like Valier put in her post - coming upon this wrecked village should make it very real for all of us that this is what could be happening to our village . . . or to us, if we're not careful.

Okay... my confusion was justified by the fact that the two groups are going through very similar things. I'm not sure where everyone is, so... yeah. So Bregoware is coming up to a town and the ferry's beyond that, am I correct? Or do we get to swim our horses across the river?

As only the one town was named, I wasn't certain if both groups were very nearby or not.

As I see it - Arry please correct me if I'm wrong - we Bregowarians are aprroaching the river Anduin from the east, as we are "Outlanders", people living beyond the Great River. Bregoware is situated at the east side of the river, south to Wulfham, which is being situated at west side of the river. So the Wulfhamers have been riding south for a couple of days, and we Bregowarians to the west, south-west to reach the river. Now we come to the river, at a level that the Wulfhamers have passed a day before (or was it 1½ days?).

So after crossing the river, we are about one day behind the Wulfhamers - and should really be "compressing time" then.

But your question about crossing the river will be a pressing one, for there really won't be any ferry at the east side of the river! That's our problem to be solved, before we can meet the Wulfhamers at the west side of the river...

[Arry]

The Wulfhamers are on their 5th day of travel (One of which was spent in camp recuperating).

We are approximately 1 1/2 days south of you - provided you cross the river before we are done exploring the burned out village we've come to.

Thank's Arry for making it clear. We'll be coming...

And Bregowarians. I have now taken us to the town. Feel free to elaborate and let your imaginations run. After you have all somehow reacted, I'll take us to the place where the ferry should be... If someone of you would like to use more time in the town, inform me, so that I don't rush us to the ferry-place too early.

Then we'll have to use our imagination.

OK - we've split up into 2 parties.

Dorran and Incana . . . and the pup -- they are searching the western half of the village. A little food, some grain for the horses, a bottle or two of mead, and mayhaps a norse might be the sorts of things you can look for . . . and whatever else you can think of.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vaenosa and Brand are searching the eastern half.

Vaenosa - I've had the two characters go to a small cluster of cottage in the southeast corner of the village. they are mostly abandoned, the occupants would have run in toward the center of the village thinking there would be safety in the greater numbers. This part of the village was minimally burnt and pillaged -- Brand has found some food stuffs for us. I was hoping your character to find a horse or two for us to pack our stuff onto.
