It would most likely mean a shorter game since I don't recall what or who Durelin had planned for the attacker. Maybe something like this:

A player for the mystery attacker would be found, clues would start to be left, there would be the hunt and the battle.

The remaining players would have to discuss what would go on in the game concerning the hunt and battle without benefit of knowing what the facilitators had planned.

OR

The remaining players can decide right now what sort of attacker they will be facing - you can begin to discover clues, make your plans for the hunt, have a glorious battle, and retire back to a once again safe Bree.

OR

One of you ,or two, can step up and become game leader and decide what to do

I think it would be most fascinating if we decided who or what is the attacker and someone actually played him/her/it, but the problem in that case is that it might make everything longer and more complicated. Most importantly the player who plays the evil (whether s/he was one of the current players or someone who has previously had nothing to do with this RPG) should be trustworthy and able to commit to this game and write on a regular basis.

I'm here and willing to post. I am open to any of the options aforementioned, but I wouldn't scream or kick if we had to close the game.

Good. I can take care of that part.

Seriously, I'm a bit worried about this trend of RPGs closing down. Aren't people willing to commit to games any more?

Those people are getting more common these days.

I suggest we all go out in one group, as not to confuse everyone on who's group should be posting when. Then let's go to that guy who lives in the Chetwood, I foget his name, and move on from there. But first ya'll have to find me!

I'm trying mate. If all want to follow that would be fine as they could catch up to us. I don't find it unreasonable that they would be a little alarmed at the way Kuric left and want to tail me for a bit and when we enter the wilderness they get mighty upset. Groin could, at first, be a prime suspect.

That'd be marvelous. Sorry I'm not being more help here guys, this is my first RPG, and I really am not much of a writer (have you noticed the short posts and everything? )

Sounds good, I nominate this idea.
