That was truly amazing to read, Teyao really pulled off the concept of being in two minds literally.

James sharing a mind with Zigmund was not one of the things I expected to happen this battle. Very good writing Teyao!

Busy last couple days will get to reading good and proper and posting within the next day or so.

Working on something rn

Thanks dude! I too felt like an acid trip writing it.

It was fun trying to blend the two personalities.

Thanks dude, truth be told neither did I

Take your time dude, your posts are always great!

Done!

I will post tonight

I'll try to post tomorrow.

Gildor: welcome to my store! What brings you here?
James Barracker: my friend Zell recommended you.
Gildor: oh God damn it.

Nice to get to reuse this one, courtesy of the latest post :P

Will post today

"Real life" has been keeping my mind preoccupied lately, but I got a little post out. Enjoy!

Time for another Group Vote!

The Group Vote will be a 2-part election:

-1st Round voting will eliminate the least popular options.

-2nd Round will have the additional suggestions from the players and the most popular options from the 1st round.

If you want to vote on Second Chance's next course of action by OOC or by PM, you can do so. Or if you want to write out your next IC post to show how you've voted, you can also do that too.

(I would suggest that voting via OOC might make it a bit easier to give reasoning to the whole group on why you chose what you chose. Also OOC collaboration and planning may make IC posting easier. But it really is up to you!)



This week posting in the IC will simply be about the end-leg of the wagon ride and the reaction of the main cast to what they are seeing when the wagon driver stops. So no need to delay posting to wait and see the results of each Voting Round. Just keep the characters and story ticking along for now, regular posting rules apply. If there are any questions, as always, I'm happy to answer help.

Results of the 2-part election will hopefully be done established within the next 7 days, so then next week's GM Update can reflect the next step in the plot.

So get your 1st Round Votes in as soon as possible!

Thanks guys!

In character I know Adam would not like options five, six or seven. He already thinks that Second Chance has information that could be of value and that the city needs help. Option one seems reckless also, considering there are injured members of the team. Option three is somewhat better, but the risk of friendly fire and the fact that not everyone would be able to swim well make it impractical.

Options two and four seem the most practical, given the story so far. In option two, Adam could create cover and camouflage with his magic. In option four, Adam could do that and be a distraction through shapeshifting (less bear attack and more along the lines of scaring the enemy away), since James would get his healing magic back.

My vote is for option four, with Sil flying letters to and from Lucy (or some other trusted person in Valheim) to plan and coordinate a successful infiltration. Option two would be my second favorite. In any scenario, I would also ask the wagon driver to have someone ride to the capital to deliver news of the seige, paying him if needed for speedy delivery of the news.

Of course discussion of this is cool also, those are just my thoughts.

By the way, if anyone wants to use my most recent post as a springboard for theirs, feel free! I set it up so people would have flexibility in that regard.

Kay, so in all honesty we are in absolutely no shape to fight we should get that out of the way, some of us are more injured then others. So the options regarding any kind of chance we proceed and fight or sneak I am against I want to offer something however, Clive could ride to Cherrad to request reinforcement.

Daisy is faster than any horse, and it could be the best bet to getting help. So I vote for option 5 but offer an alternate, possibly turn around make camp while some of us go to get reinforcements

I'm for options 2 and 4. With 4 being preferred.

Fenna is injured, but it's her shoulder that needs treatment in the hospital so she can walk. This does mean swimming is not an option for her. The other injuries were also in her torso but they're healed enough to walk and scout at this point, even more if they rest fist.

We can definitely use Sil for distractions (her Loud Screech can distract enemies) and for sending messages. With real enemies approaching, guards aren't going to pay much attention to a bird of prey.

Fenna is not keen on turning back or do any kind of fighting. In character she is very set on getting more information about the reason they're here, and they're very close to finally getting that message that is waiting for them. She also really wants her shoulder treated and the nearest hospital is in Valheim. So she doesn't want to travel to another city and lose more time. Waiting for the cover of the night is a sensible idea and she will agree with that.

Would waiting for midnight or early morning (before the sun is up) give Clive enough time to go to Cherrad and return?

It's Early Afternoon right now. On the back of Daisy, Clive could probably make it there and back by Evening haha. That girl is the fastest horse in Mytheria and I believe Clive's an exceptional rider.

I second this 👍

A bear and a bird, huh...Banjo-Kazooie anyone? :P

Clive getting reinforcements and/or extra distractions would compliment option four, though.

I really like what everyone has said. Sil being used to message Lucy or Clarissa is genius. It seems like Option 4 mixed with Clive going to the village of Cherrad is the idea forming, so far. I like it.

To add to what others have said; I'd say Clive should take some gold to sponser the journeys of the prospective 'Cherrad messengers.' The closest city that could have reinforcements might not be too far for the one messenger. Capitol City, however, might require a long trip - like, weeks maybe - that needs resources, so a gold piece or two, might go a long way for the other messenger to take up the big task.

Also; if a message can be sent to Lucy or Clarissa and Second Chance's arrival can be expected, our characters can probably be successful as soon as midnight replenishes the magical abilities. Coupled with Adam's ability to create cover, I don't think a distraction would be necessary from anyone except maybe Sil. Our two Rangers should make this a breeze. Fenna is perfect to be in the lead for the path of best stealth. MacKensie can get up the wall easily to make contact with whoever in Valhiem is waiting to greet them.

If our lovely GM's dice rolls try to screw us over, then we could rely on Clive/Daisy or Adam/Bear for an emergency distraction.
