I hope that my post for Jynne (he offers to become the advance scout) is alright?

Good Snowmen and Elves..... My preliminary post is up about approaching the cave, but I may still have an edit or two. So could the good guys hold up until I give you the word to go ahead with cave posts, hopefully tomorrow, when I edit the final piece. Meanwhile you can be thinking how you might want to approach the search.

You might want to take a look at save #25 that has now been filled in by Pio and myself. I have also finished my edits of Luindal's instructions to the Elves.....

My post will be up ASAP, latest tonight, I've been busy this week, but it will be up! Sorry for the delay.

OK, the advance party of Corsairs and our Lossoth allies have gone inside to make sure there's not an ambush. (All the real posters are in this group.

)Please somebody signal the others waiting outside with the lantern (miscellaneous carry alongs) so they can join us.

Rog is doing some advance scouting of his own, and the rest of Luindal's mob is not far behind.

Everyone can now do posts in the cave. Elves and good Snowmen just do your entrance to the cave until a Corsair or two gets something up. Remember bad guys, no fighting yet. Just spying. See what you can find out in the next few days. Early next week I do believe we will have a surprize for that nasty Luindal!

We will finish the cave this week.

Carrandû and Annû have gone into the main cavern, and are now bound down a small tunnel leading into one of the small side caverns.

Anyone care to join our little group?

If so - just tie on to Carandû - he's the Elf in back!

Well, as most of you should know I'm a bit thick at times. Currently I'm just a bit confused...not greatly confused...just a bit.

This is how I currently understand the game:

Both the Corsairs, elves, and Snowmen have found out about the Cave of Death.

Before dawn Marreth sent in a detachment of advance scouts. They will signal the other Corsairs when it's safe for them to advance.

The elves and Snowmen are going to search the cave for the stones. Currently, the Snowman have entered the cave.

When will the Corsair Advance group signal the other corsairs? How will the Corsairs get in when the Snowman and elves are already in?

If the only entrance to the Caves is the entrance that Marreth slipped into, wouldn't he have encountered Jynne and the other Snowman? And who is Marreth spying on? I'm sorry that I'm so confused...
