Would we set up camp somewhere and wait? I'm sure that Leod and(especially)Athwen would want to get as far away from the village and any other possible encounters with more orcs there. So that would take us further away from the Bregowarians. Any ideas....

What if we chump a day and a half in two posts? we got across the river and traveled for half a day. Stopped for the night and that's post one. We got out of bed, traveled for the whole day and reached the village before nightfall that's post two.... just find a reason to stay around for one more day (praying for the deceased ones?) and we'll meet up just there.

Edit: Actually if we do it that way we could see the fire from afar during the night and arrive at the city... while you sleep? maybe find each other the following morning.

If the Bregos were across the river right now - it is 45 miles south to the village that's burned; and we are already there and have burnt the bodies.

Yes, actually you could do one post that brings you across the river and down to the village - however that would mean our group would stay in the village for another day and a half or this alternative could happen:

We can go a few miles south of the village and camp and hunt for a couple of days. I would imagine the village would still be smoking but there would be no flaming fire. The Bregos would certainly wonder what had happened to the place and who had burnt the bodies of the villagers.

Can you just get yourselves across the river and then come upon us in our little camp?

I'm on it... I already wrote us across the river. Should I also write us camping for the night and leaving the following morning or should we not hurry that much? If anyone wants to do a post before we meet up I'm all up for it but I'd like to meet today (RL) with the other group, if possible... or at least, have the situation set for the meeting.

Why don't you or someone write your group just to the little rise above the burned village. You can spend a little while (like maybe the rest of today or tomorrow morrning, RL) going into the village itself.

That will give our group time to have set up a camp say 5 miles south of the village (and let's say it's evening by the time you finally pass through the village and get to where you can see our campfire).

How does that sound?

Works for me. I'll have us ride on until we reach the slope (but before we can see the burnt village) and someone else can take it from there.

Arry--I have done as you requested. Hope it fits in better for you!

*snicker* If we were really sent as urgent messengers do you not think that we would be in more of a hurry to get the message to the King? All this stopping and 'resting', very much not needed, I understand that we are waiting for the Brego group, but we don't know that we are to meet with them, so it would seem a little excessive with all of the stops.

NOTE to Brego's: Please, please can we meet already. I would really like to get on with the main part of our story. If someone could get your group into position to find us by early tomorrow(RL) that would be great!

Arry · 03-11-2006, 04:23 PM

Thanks mucho! I filled in my save and it all fits together rather nicely. thanks again!

I'm on it. I had to take a break but I'm wrapping up my post. After it we could meet you all in one or two posts.
