I mentioned this to Durelin but I guess it didn't make its way here - I'll be gone from roughly the 20-29 of July.

I'll be away some three-four days in the middle of July (between 15th and 20th, about). We're getting into middle of nowhere with Lommy & her friends + her little sister...

Was there a plan how the orcs start posting? The slaves start both groups as one as they have met, but where are the orcs when the game begins?

Thanks, Nogrod. I added the dates. - Child of the 7th Age

Maybe the Orcs meet and set out from the redezvous point where Regin's character Ishkur is already stationed? Perhaps they are afraid about being followed?

Since we are physically behind the other two bands, let's assume we were on a plantation that was slightly more towards the east on the northern border of the Sea. That means we head west and north in the game. (Undómë mentioned walking west in her post, I think, and Regin mentioned north so we'll combine those and go northwest.) Let's stick fairly close to the banks of the Sea to begin with and then swing north once we've cleared the Sea, thus following in the footsteps of the slaves and fellowships.

Unlike the fellowship and slaves, I don't think the orcs have a clear idea of where they're trying to get to (other than the direction). They basically want to find someplace to the north where there is good game and not too many other Orcs around to bother them.

Regin, Undómë, Nogrod, Firefoot - if you have other ideas, hope you'll share them on the thread or by pm. I am away this weekend till Tuesday, and Regin's name is also on the away list.

Nogrod and Firefoot - I definitely hope you'll feel free to pitch in and post with your minor characters since we have just two posters who took orcs as major characters. I am especially looking forward to seeing Firefoot's 9 year-old orc.

Thanks to my lovely family, I will be gone during the day tomorrow, though I will be back in the evening.

I will have a post ready sometime tonight/very early tomorrow morning (EST time...it's about 9:55 PM here now).

Is it alright if I PM you, Pio, with a post to go on the RPG thread when you open it tomorrow, as long as I can get it to you before it's open (otherwise I will just post it on the game thread if you open it early morning)?

I wanted to get a post up just to help get things started.

Sorry everyone for such late notice.

I just found out I'll be getting back from vacation a day earlier than planned, so I'll be gone from the 16-28, but I'll be around for the 29th.

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

EDIT: Change made to the vacation list.

The RPG thread is now open for posts

Everyone

For those of you writing for more than one character - please put the character's name you are writing for at the top of the post, in bold.

So, for example - Nogrod would put Hadith at the top of the posts for his slave character, and Gwerr at the top of the posts for his Orc.

Thanks!
