@NecroKnight

The Warlock gave a motivational speech before giving the order to march. Now the captains are scrambling to form warbands.

Yo my boy, sorry been watching but haven't put anything for 2 reasons, one: 10+ hour work days are killer. 2nd, well I wasn't sure when the next post is open to write.

@Darkwatck01

I don't want to leave anyone behind like last time, but I don't want to be irritating people this early in the RP, either. I'm waiting until Monday for the remaining players to make their first posts.

[Darkwatck01]

Well words should be spoken yo.

Fellmoran Culture Note

The orcs, hobgoblins, kobolds, and bugbears refer to themselves as "men" and "women." This may come as a surprise to veterans of fantasy fiction who are used to these creatures being "other." In Lord of the Rings, for example, orcs jeer and spit at "Man" as if it were the label applied to all humans. The protagonists, in turn, refer to orcs in animalistic nomenclature. The enemies Aragorn slew weren't "men," they were "orcs." When pointing out a nameless orc, they don't say "he" should die, tbey say "it" should die. The inhabitants of Fellmore, however, don't see things that way. They're people too, and refer to themselves with humane nomenclature. Gorman doesn't have an army of orcs; he has an army of men.

Now, there is a caveat to this rule. Fellmorans tend to be pretty racist. An orc describing a hobgoblin may call him an "it," and vice versa. Additionally, those who have lived among humans for a substantial length of time may likewise adopt animalistic terms for their kind. But as a rule, they see themselves as people, and call themselves such.

Pardon the inactivity, work has zapped away my time and interest in this. Can I set my char on hiatus and return maybe later?

@NecroKnight

Sure. I'll keep your character tagging along with the main group, so you can return whenever and pick up like you never left. ;)

@Thinslayer

Thanks man.

[Darkwatck01]

Well can only think of one thing while at work, so a quote to leave ya hanging.

'Move and survive, stand stilL and die.'

@Thinslayer
Sen is currently way ahead of the pack so good luck getting a name from her.

[Darkwatck01]

Going to drop a post here if no one else does soon. Thin would like a quick word about said post for it does involve Gorman.

[Darkmoon Angel]

@Thinslayer
Mind giving Sen something to do ahead of the group? She's kinda by her lonesome.

@Darkmoon Angel

Oops, yes, my bad! :3

[Darkwatck01]

Bad, sensing aggro ahead. Retreat needed, unable.

[Darkwatck01]

Ladies and Gents, I believe we need to have a word or two about something.

[Thinslayer]

@Darkmoon Angel
I've been agonizing over the last few days how to proceed with Sen, but I've hit a dead end. My tentative plan was to carry her along with the voiceless orc scout Blum, but I keep running into power-playing. It would help tremendously if there were pointers on how Sen does her job. I realize that is in turn limited by sparse landscape descriptions. We gotta work together on this next post. I plan to use it to give everyone else a goal to work toward, so it'll be quite substantive.

[Darkmoon Angel]

@Thinslayer
You could've PM me you know

[Thinslayer]

All right, I know the opening post wasn't as gripping as I'd have liked, but...what are we waiting for, exactly?

[Claw2k11]

Well, I'm just waiting for a reply here and from what I know, Delta is going through some personal drama, hence why he has not responded so far.
