This was SUPPOSED to let you know that I "softened" my post after your explanation, and removed the casting.

Bro' Wyrm and I share the same computer, and lately we have been conflicting more and more with each other's posts (due to inattention and laziness, I guess). I apologize for the mix-up, and thank you for setting it straight.

Li'l bro' is gonna owe me a bit for a while ...

[[Geechy younger brother now has his own comp. He can find his own desk/table to put it on. Hope that solves the problem.]]

Posted, and updated the map on the first page of this Q/A.

more posting from me. What's next on the list? Sleeping, or going to deliver the pouch?

I can't speak for everyone else, but I know Ocyari will be needing sleep soon.

I know we're not supposed to split up, but in this situation, would it be viable for the needing members of the group (namely Ocyari and probably one other who's going to make sure she gets to bed as well as get some sleep themselves) disappear for the remainder of the night to find and get accommodations for the night while those who choose to continue despite fatigue have the chance to do so?

I imagine that'd be the course of action that'd be hinted toward, with the main idea of getting the actual delivery done and out of the way (maybe so the parcel doesn't run away or do something weird while we're sleeping...), which doesn't require everyone being present, then sleep for those who are not already sleeping, and then listen to the information being provided by Mr. Stuart the next day...

That seems to be what's going through my mind right now anyway... so, what do you think?

So, is that alright if that happens?

There hasn't been a post in quite some time. That bothers me. Is everybody still available? Or am I looking for more replacements?

Splitting up while part of the group delivers is far from advizable, if I can put my 2 cents in. Stuff is planned that needs a full party.

Well, I was kind of waiting on the answer first before posting, but I suppose I should've gone ahead and posted as well anyway since it doesn't change much...

It seems that the three of us -- Sibelius, Reralae, and myself -- are all that Almerin has to deal with at the moment.

Pao has a plan, of sorts, but cannot make it work with just the three of us.

And I have no clue as to how to get the other players back ...

The sorcerer is up for resting, she's useless without her spells.

why wait with posting? That issue has come up before. If everybody waits on everybody, nobody will post, and we're all waiting until the game dies down out of interest. Trust me, I've been there.

I'll message Jozan if he's still in the game.

I apologise to all of you for the belated post. I spaced the game for some reason. But I am in for the duration ...

Glad to hear from you again

Now we can get going. I'll do my best to update, since the majority voted for resting.

Let me remind you that in the beginning of the adventure, Ormander cleared a place at the orphanage for you guys to sleep at.

That could be a problem...

Hmm... so... Ocyari would have to sneak back in perhaps saying to the others she's going around back since her room is nearer to the back of the building or something...

yeah... didn't think of that. This might get complicated. But also interesting.

But I didn't read far enough back to notice that reference. Pao being a recent recruit and all, I could (kinda) assume that, when he arrived at the orphanage, the lack of reference to that subject was an oversight in the interest of getting him to meet the others, and they would have informed him at the m,eeting in the dockside tavern.

Re-reading Dai's intro, though, her inclusion would seem to be mere happenstance, no? So she definitely wouldn't know. At least that is how I read her intro ...
