I deleted my save... I wanted to make a bit of a funny post of Osmod going to grab the teapot, getting distracted and holding it by the metal.... but the story progressed other ways and I think it'd be out of place. I'll try to have another post up tomorrow, anyone cares to interact with Osmod?

I'll be back on Thursday the 18th. The game will resume then.

There's no reason there can't be two storylines going at the same time - those who are 'unwounded' in camp could participate in your teapot incident while the 'wounded' are being cared for.

Well, thing is that I didn't feel it'd look right... we've been so solemn in the game and the post right after my save kept on the same line of writing... maybe after things with Brand and Sythric are settled I'll have Osmod have an accident.

Oh, but it would be fun! Please consider doing.

Hello everyone!

Well the thread is closed, but this one seems to be open still. Should we try and think of the actions following where we were stopped? So everyone might tell here, what they were thinking about and could write a post (or two?) beforehand - just letting the others know about their intentions. Then we could make a mass-posting on the 18th., with everyone having their post ready to just submit into the thread?

One of the most important things would be, whether Brand and Sythric (or Valier) are able to continue. What do you think about it? Tevildo opened the possibility of Leod staying behind with these. We might make this the second plot for the rest of the game? Maybe someone else would stay behind too? Or then we just make some miraculous healing-stuff, and ride all to Edoras...

Opinions?

Hm. It's a good idea to think ahead, Nogrod, but it may not be good to think too far ahead, as Arry's gone and we can't consult him. He may come back and not like any of our ideas, if we end up coming up with some. I think he wants the group to stay together all the way to Edoras. The honey (which, really, it's true- it does bring out infection...it also helps if you put cayene pepper into it with the honey, too. . .Leod happen to have any of that stuff?) should draw out the infection and ease the pain. Brand should be able to ride again tomorrow. Not fast, or anything, but if he's got a nice horse, she can go slowly and easily and it won't be too bad on his shoulder.

Your character, Sythric, may have more trouble, with his side. But if it's bound up nicely throughout the night and again in the morning...there's a realistic chance that he'll be able to ride again.

As for Vaenosa, I'm not sure of the extent of her wound.

We can think about what to do next, but I wouldn't set things in stone, because Arry will come and cause an earthquake if he has to in order to change all your plans and tell us ours.

Well, I was not saying, that we should rush ourselvers to Edoras or split the party without Arry's consent. I was just thinking, that we should think of our posts - and share the ideas around. And then maybe being ready to post somewhat as Arry returns.

And anyhow. If we are free to post as we wish (f.ex. myself being able to write that Sythric's wound is really bad - or not), then I can't see, how anyone could say, that that will not do... Isn't this a game of action and reaction?

But you are right. We should not rush to anything. But we could still have some discussion here about the way we are going to go forwards... Sythric's situation is looking very bad indeed: if he's just barely able to walk - when supported - in the evening, I can't quite see, how he could ride the following morning. And reading the depiction of Tevildo about Brand's condition, I think it would take another miracle for him to be able to ride either...

But we should think about these, together?
