@Eschatologist That would be cool. I was thinking maybe one or two penal battalions were sent along with the Night Hunters and the Gray Winds. The rest are obviously with Oromis and the Mardochians. The convicts would make the ram and man it so nobody essential gets killed. Having Myra briefly meet Sweet Thond again only to be told he's basically a glorified distraction would be beautiful. Get her nice and angry before she gets sent to the gates. I like it a lot. The more crap we can put our characters through the better. :)

I miss writing. Alot. Journaling is all well and good, but there's something about creative writing. I get excited about it! So, here's to a year of doing what excites me. It's time for a change.

So, I'm thinking, just for the sake of moving the plot along, I'm going to start my next post with Myra and the Forlorn Hope in a watchtower. The coastal towers have been conquered and they are ready to move on. From there she gets orders to advance to a position near the city gates. I'll have a brief bit of ram building and then probably end the post there so it's not huge. Next post will be the gate breaching and crazy Myra time. Thoughts? Questions? Concerns?
@YoshiSkittlez Correct.
For Sammy, I think something like a personal visit is the only thing that's going to convince her to come back. Merle or Vivek would probably be the best candidates. I was thinking I could do a 'slice of life' post and then have Merle come in at the end. One post of conversation so we don't slow things down too much and then she's good to go...sorta.
...I hate to jump on the bandwagon but yeah, after all Sammy has been through, personal visit. Maybe Vivek could do it? If YoshiSkittlez is okay with it. Or Merle could.
Also, welcome to our new player! Looking forward to writing with you.
Honestly, it might be better to have Merle send out the call now. We can do a 'day in the life' post that gets interrupted by the telepathic call. Just my two cents.
@Vahir A question because my mind is bored at work. Is there any kind of heraldry associated with the City of Tolos? Or any colors the soldiers serving the Prophet might wear? I was just curious. Because if not...I have ideas lol.
I also don't want to ruin anyone's plans, though. For the scene I have planned, the gates of Tolos would have to be breached first. We shall see how far along the invasion is by the time I can post again. Also, I'm thinking there's going to be a Sweet Thond cameo lol. Ideas upon ideas!
@eschatologist Got it. Depending on how far the plot has moved on by next week, I already have a post in mind. Myra and the Forlorn Hope are chilling in one of the captured watchtowers when they get commanded to head for Tolos. Maybe I'll stop it there. Otherwise, I have a pretty intense 'Myra goes berserk' scene planned for first contact with the Etruscan defenders.
