I've put up a save for the reinforcements - that is, Luinien, Thoronmir, and Menecar. If all goes well I should fill it by the evening. (I'm in the lab once again.)

Kransha, if you want to get in first, you can have my save.

Meneltarmacil, way to come through! One request: We were supposed to investigate the merchants who disappeared, not the shepherd and flock. An easy mistake to make. Would you like to modify that?

GREAT work, everyone! I'm thrilled how swiftly we're moving along.

Nuranar and Meneltarmacil

I'll just go ahead and change the word 'shepherd' to 'merchants'.

Thank you, Piosenniel. PMs all clear, Cap'n!

How long do we have for the battle, again? And can I get an idea of how many orcs there are? If there's only like 30, I'd have to limit how many my character kills (which is never fun).

Nuranar - I think that I'll wait until the good-forces' reinforcements have arrived. As far as I can tell, all 4 of the orcs initially sent in have been slain, but Bazzog is not a very prompt commander. After Luinien, Thoronmir, and Menecar arrive, he'll send in a larger second wave, which will include Kransha and Bubkur (which means, in short "watch out!").

Kransha, the orc, is needed for a later job, so don't kill him off or wound him please, but Bubkur, Bazzog's second-in-command, is fair game during this battle. The second wave will consist of Kransha, Bubkur, and 6 other orcs. 8 in all. But, save Kransha and Bubkur, the orcs are not the most lithe warriors. Speed and agility can beat most of them.

I'll have the post including the initiation of the second wave up after Nuranar's save is filled...

I too will await the good guys to show up, then Arrald and Dim will come roaring in, large as life and twice as stupid.

Kransha, hope you will not mind if a few of your orcs get splattered by accident.

Not at all. Splatter away.

I'd like the battle to end tomorrow (Thursday the 21st). Functionally, that means the fighting should be over by Friday morning, because some people might do their posting in the wee small hours.

Kransha, bring up your reserves. Osric didn't leave us any Orcs to deal with, so we've just arrived and are attacking the Trolls. Broga has an arrow in the arm and Menecar is going after him. Osric and Thoronmir are ganging up on Grimm. Aidwain and Luinien are carrying on the good work with the archery. Everyone's positioned pretty close together except for Luinien, who is a bit further back toward the east side of the hill. Remember, she's a wicked archer.

Veryadan is nowhere to be seen.

Envinyatar, do you have any details on your injuries?

Saurreg, I hope you're planning when you're going to step in. *hint hint*

I'll leave my previous save up for a little longer in case someone wants to add something.

Game time, it's still before noon. Battles move much quicker than you think.

Carry on!
