Okay people! I hope you all had a lovely weekend! I know my weekend was absolutely glorious.

This post is going to be long due to the fact that I need to address some issues. Please read all of it thoroughly.

Now here's the game plan for this week:

We aren't exactly where I want us to be. We are still in the starting phases of our journey and I thought that by now that we would be further along. It is understandable, being that it is summer and all. However, we need to get this moving.

Unfortunately, I seem to be a little stuck after writing my post. I need you, Mith to please fill your save - hopefully by tomorrow at the earliest. That would be great. I also need you, Adu to get up a post. Since I have placed what Thomas' past is - and I did a fair mount of guessing while writing Zach's stuff up - you need to confirm or deny his allegations. Until then I can not post due to the fact that Mayonette is waiting on pins and needles to hear your thoughts.

So that's concerning my post. Now onto everyone else.

The fire will be put out shortly and the villagers are going to notice that there is a wounded man with a sword to his neck laying on the ground. We are going to have to deal with that before moving on - just to let you all know.

In the foreseeable future:

From the fire we need to move deeper into the forest. I think our mortal peril has been addressed and we should be alright for a little while. Of course we will find some trouble, but not enough to stop us in one spot as we are currently.

So for your posts right now I suggest either writing about finish helping put out the fire or coming over to Thomas, Mayonette, Elfride, and Zach to see how you can help out.

I know that is a lot of stuff and I thank you all for your patience as I lay out what is to occur.

Again, I want to thank you all for sticking with me and making this RPG one of the best that I have ever been priveleaged to own. Thank you everyone.

Yours forever,

Crystal Heart

I too am at a standstill until you post your save Mith.

Crystal, we still have the problem that Cordelia shot Zach, do we not? So, if we do, we still have two things to deal with before we can move on into the forest.

Sorry will do but have had access issues and was a bit confused about what is going on with the villain. will do something now..

Mithalwen · 08-07-2006, 01:47 PM

OK I may have to change what I have posted (other than Elfride's actions) I know so just say if I have messed up. I have roped in Leoflic and Edhener as "theatre sisters"

and sent Thomas and Mayonette to support Hama. I have only had Elfride wonder about what is going on becasue I don't know what the situation is with the villagers and samuel. Obviously we can get on quicker if there is a trustworthy Reeve ( anglo saxon term for a senior local official appointed by the king) who will accept the word of the General that they were the victims not the assailants of the original attack, and take the henchman into custody. Obviously we may not get away that simply.

I have a fairly busy week so if you want to assume that Hama has given them the truth (but not automatically the whole truth) that is fine. If you need me to poat what he has actually said then let me know and I will add it to this post.

Let me know if you want m to undo anything ..but I did think it might give thomas and Mayonette a chance to have an interesting conversation...

Crystal Heart · 08-07-2006, 01:55 PM

Ah yes Thanks Glirdan. Yes we have to discuss what may become of Cordelia.

Mith - great post. I will post for Mayonette now. Adu please post for Thomas ASAP. Thankies!

Mithalwen · 08-07-2006, 02:13 PM

Depending on how involved with Samuel the villagers are .... I think we may be able to delay dealing with Cordelia... . the man seems more likely to survive and Hama is so high status that I am sure that if he said he would be answerable for her, she would be free to continue the quest . I sort of expected that if he doesn't get kiled ~Samuel is going to have to answer to the King eventually so if that is the case any fall out for cordelia could wait?

If you want to deal withit now the fact that Elfride has pushed the arrow through means that it is only going to be the thug's eord against ours that he was shot in the back..... not that I would advocate lying of course...

Crystal Heart · 08-07-2006, 03:05 PM

We could. However, how would we explain the hole in his back?

Lying would save Cordelia from the mess she's found herself in. *thinks* Sounds like a good game plan. Anyone else have a vote on the lying front?
