Right then, what is the plan?  Return to the Keep and warn about the spiders?  Go around them?  Engage them?

Also, final consensus: seek another player or two?

I was waiting to see the spiders' reaction, but the intent was to back away and not engage them if they don't pursue. Falco was intending to go around them to the North, if not engaged

Beyond that, a first-level party of three wandering around are not likely to get very far without dying. Without twice as many characters, we are likely to suffer a total party kill on our first encounter unless we get lucky.

The spiders are too tough for our characters. I agree our little group wouldn't fare well unless we were fighting a couple of kobolds.

Someone suggested we each play two characters. I'd go with that. I prefer fewer players, because the game pace moves faster as there are less people to wait for to post.

That's my opinion.

Okay, is everyone comfortable running two characters?  As a rule I don't like doing it, but it's something I'm willing to try if you are.

Not my preferred choice, but it's acceptable.

I can play 2 characters, even though I agree it is a workaround.

Dynlor is not going to engage the spiders if nobody else does, and will gladly go back to the castle to find reinforcement.

Maybe we can try to attract new players. If it fails, we can fall back on the '2 characters' option. My 2 cts.

Okay, how about if I open the recruiting for a couple of days and see who we get, and in the meantime, everyone still here can make a new character.  That new character is either a second one to play concurrently if we don't get enough new players, or a back up in case the current one gets killed.

Give me a name and I will assign you each a new character slot.  Does anyone want to adopt and personalize one of the orphaned characters?  (Benny, Finn, Thorona)

Also, making a change to the Area map.  Each square will take one turn to move, as outdoor movement is 120 yards per turn and each square is 100 yards.  That means six squares per hour vice three (on the road) so that it is more feasible to move back and forth to the Keep.

Please don't anyone do something they would rather not do. I was simply tossing out options. Playing one character or two if fine. Some of us having one, while others have two, is fine as well. Recruiting is good. I just don't want to cause problems. I'm enjoying the game, so I want it to keep going.

No worries.  having a back up character is always a good idea as well.  Do you (Reea) want to give me a name for a second character?

Re: The Tavern Where We Met (OOC)

I'd prefer a larger group (6 or so adventurers) over a smaller group. Most OSR adventures presume you have a party of 6-8 adventurers. Mostly though, I just want some active players who actually post.

'Faldal' would be the name of my second character.

Before deciding what to do, exactly how many characters do we have actively participating?

Looks like Leozaren is ready.  He could be making his way East along the road, having arrived in the vicinity of the Keep early in the day, decided to scout the area while there was still half a day of more of light.  If any of you with a second character slot wish to roll up a second and have them with him we can wait a bit for that.
