Wait a minute... do three of our five members have goatees?

*shifty eyes*

It's a very current look in Bread-in-Hand :)

Lonhro, I've updated you last post with a PL to you. I'll also take the time to remind everyone that your posts in the rumors threads contain potentially useful (and potentially useless) information, some of it pertaining to the castle.

I've uploaded a map that's a little rough in places (had to stitch together a few different scans and way too tired to fiddle with the details right now) of your current base of operations: Cillamar.

Also, just curious, do you folks plan to head straight to the castle in the morning or do you have anything to do in town? Supplies to buy, info to research, whatever. You can talk things out as long as you'd like or I can move things along whenever you'd like or whatever.

I'm happy to head there first thing. I'm also pretty much done at dinner, if everyone else is full :). I wouldn't mind having a poke around town to see if I can pick up anything else of interest. I was hoping to do it after the group has separated for the day.

I figure we're ready to go in the morning, but Deva brings up a good point.  We don't want to arrive at night.  Better to leave town at mid-morning, or noon, rest halfway, then arrive while it is still daylight.

Well you could always spend the next morning poking about town and then leave, take a half day's trip and then camp for the night and then take a half days trip the next day and approach the Castle just a mid day begins.

I think that's the best course of action.  I don't have anything in particular to buy or do in town.


edit: Should we compare languages spoken?

I'm ready to move it along when everyone else is :).

Also, Lonhro can speak elven, but not much else.

Heh all,

uh there seems to be a cascading error in the last few posts of the IC thread. :
I think Mellar intended to point out Arien, the drunk at the bar. The old man sitting alone with the teak box on his table is a different fellow, though people are welcome to go talk to him as well. I'm going to edit the posts to better reflect "reality" and then add a post and then you can all carry on from there. It'd probably be best if everyone posted here in the OOC thread who they'd like to talk to or what they'd like to do before heading out to check on Whiterock and then I'll try and keep it all organized and keep us moving along.

Oh, and a note about OOC stuff in the IC thread. Several players have been using PLs to give me information or ask questions, which is fine. But unless you really want the question or action to be a secret from other players feel free to simply type OOC: and the message for me at the end of a post and color it read as I've done here.

Like I said, you're welcome to continue to use the PLs if you want to or feel its more appropriate but there's no need to keep all mechanics secret from all players all the time.

This OOC thread is also a fine place to talk about things going on in the game or ask questions or just chat.

Hello all, I've added a Calendar for the game. You might notice that 10 days before the day the game started was the Day of Souls. This is a very special holiday in Morrain. It is the summer solsitice and also was the day the first to-be King of Morrain and his friends swore to overthrow the Harbinger king who had oppressed the land. (Ancient History at this time)

It is a day for vows and challenges and decisions. A day to let your feelings be known and to draw lines in the sand. Its a different for everyone but the rule is: on this day something must happen. So, its a perfect day for a group of young travelers and adventurers to make a pact to form a new company for glory or justice or wealth or whatever else floats your boat.

So let's all assume you did that, ok? :)

Sounds like the right way to start a soon-to-be-elite adventuring group :)

Ok, kinda need a direct answer here from some people. Everyone please answer this question:

Do you want to do anything in town tonight or tomorrow morning before going to the Castle or shall I just start a new thread detailing your approach to Castle Whiterock?

I know some people have already answered this question but there has been some new info discovered in the Drake since then. Anyway, I just don't want to start at "at the castle gate's thread and have players upset cause they wanted to buy something or talk to someone" or start a "the next morning in town thread" and have it just sit there empty for two days because everyone just wants to get to the Castle.

BTW, I think I've mentioned this before but, while the Castle is the centerpiece of the campaign and I hope no one will ignore it and run away (kinda defeats the purpose) it should be noted that the town is only a day away if you need it and as the campaign progresses you may find reasons (or not) to do something elsewhere as well.

I'm ready :)

I'm sleeping but do not mind the others searching out info.

I'm ready too.

Dena is probably the most interested in the castle from us all :P So yea - ready.

And Radoslav had already indicated a lack of any pressing issues so I'll be moving us on post haste.

Yes, sorry.  Holiday weekend with the families.

No issues from Rav.

Hey all,

just wanted to point out that the game is currently in your hands. When you all finish your talking (an important part of the game for sure) and decide to do something I'll do my part. :)

Not that I mind a slower pace; I assume that our group will find the pace which best suits it and it will probably have fast times and slow times. I just wanted to be clear that I'll be responding to you as much or more than you respond to me.

Of course, there's always the chance of random encounters popping up at surprising times too.

I kinda thought we were all waiting for you to move us down the path. I made an extra post stating that intention and no one has refuted the proposition so I figured we're waiting to be moved.
