I think I should just leave Fion as an NPC now, so I don't do this to you guys again. It's really not fair to all of you to have to wait for me.

Thank you all. I really enjoyed playing with you, for the time that I was actually involved.

Again, I'm really sorry about this.

You have better reasons to not-post than anyone of us. I would like to see you post in, if you just have time and wish to do it.

We can carry Fion when you can't post, but it would be nice, if you had time to read all that has happened, and make one or two contributions yourself too. And really: I'm not trying to pressure you, just hoping that you won't think, that we wouldn't aprreciate your contributions.

I have enjoyed playing with you too! Hope to see you in another game in the future - and even in this, if your health allows...

Would a writer for the 'scouts' please post us to a campsite soon - one or two posts from the 'scouts' should probably be sufficient to do so.

Then the 'wounded can catch up to you for the night, and we'll go on from there.

I'll give Tevildo a chance to have Dorran answer Athwen (or put up a save) and I'll get us into the camp, unless someone else wants to do it.

Farael · 05-09-2006, 06:29 PM

Would that be a lunch camp or a night camp?

Tevildo · 05-09-2006, 06:35 PM

Folwren,

I took your request and ran with it (quite literally

). Since Arry has asked us to start the wind-up posts for that day for the scouts, I thought I should act out the whole race in a way that would still let Farael go ahead with her next post whenever she wanted and get our whole group into camp. (Normally, I would just have posted my part and let you take it from there.)

Please look carefully at my post, as I've made some big assumptions here and used your character a lot. If you would like to have the race end differently or want your character portrayed in a different light, please let me know on the thread or by pm and I will immediately edit. I am open to suggestions, but wanted to get something up quickly.

Also, if you want to go ahead and give the race from your perspective, you could either (1) go ahead and do that in a regular post if Farael doesn't have her own post up yet, or, if she already has put it up (2) just put a post on the discussion thread and ask Pio or Child move it over just under mine.

Anyways, I hope this is OK. Let me know if changes are needed.

P.S. If this sounds garbled, it is. I am running out the door.

P.P.S. Will try to do a post for Leod later tonight.

Tevildo · 05-09-2006, 07:55 PM

I believe Arry wanted a permanent campsite for the night.

Arry · 05-10-2006, 03:31 AM

I guess we will end the game when everyone who wants to develop their character and their character's relationships decides they have done that sufficiently.

So, since the writers have been give the time now to do that, I would hope they would make use of it and post more frequently to the game thread.

There are approximately 4 -5 game days until The Golden Hall is reached. It is up to you to decide how long that will take in real time; how long and how many posts you wish to invest in character development and interaction.

To answer one of Nogrod's questions from his PM, Pio will close the game thread while I am away (5/13 through 5/20).

Nogrod · 05-10-2006, 05:03 AM

Thanks Arry.

It looks much more clearer now.

Since Arry didn't say otherwise in his post I'll go with that. I'll be writing my post after lunch so I think it'll be up around 2 PM (GMT -5 or 6, I'm never sure)

Tevildo · 05-10-2006, 10:52 AM

Farael--

Would you do a favor for me? In your post, could you have the riders agree to send Dorran back on the trail to meet up with the slower group so he can lead them into camp. (Presumably we've set up camp in a broad clearing somewhat off the actual trail?) I am going to assume this has been done because at the end of my next post Dorran will come trotting up

I am guessing the wounded group should arrive in camp a few hours after the scouts. In my next post, I will get the slower group to the point in the trail where the horserace began: a relatively flat and open pathway. This will hopefully help Sythric who has been having a bumpy time. At that juncture, the slower group will encounter a minor complication (a log on the trail) that should take just a post or two to deal with....

If you have any problems with any of this, let me know.

Nogrod · 05-09-2006, 02:00 PM

Save filled.

Tevildo: Feel free to have Leod noticing Sythric's bleeding again - or his laughable trial to tighten his own bandages while on the sledge. But as well, from my point of view, we can also get to the evening and assess the damage there... As you wish.
