Outracing the Flames Discussion Thread

[Child of the 7th Age]

Good evening, fellow RPGers. I have been reading your fine story from afar and am very glad to join it, if one for a short while. It appears I have seized one of the women by the hair and am attempting to yank her off her horse and drag her back to where the nasty guards wait. Who this woman is....I do not know. Nor do I know whether I will succeed. Perhaps you can tell me.

Oh, yes. I have taken the liberty of pushing forward time and distance for a bit. You are coming in to your chosen campsite. It is late afternoon and the sun is just setting.

Here are the rules for our little combat.

1. No one may kill Lord Calimehtar. You can beat up on him, but leave him live to struggle off the battlefield.

2. Remember these Easterling guys are experienced raiders. They will not make it easy. You can't just poke out your blade and kill them. Even if you prevail, make it sound hard!

3. Feel free to invent imaginery Easterlings to fight and include their actions in your posts. I will continue to post during the battle both as the Lord and his followers, and may pop up at unusual times. But since I'm only one person and there are lots of you, I can't do it all!

4. Last but not least...have fun.
