[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5831467, member: 2710"] [Sblock=OOC] The short answer: yes. The longer answer: after the longer-than expected delay at the start during the negotiations, I assumed the small-to-no response posts to the transition set pieces were a de facto request to move things along to the meat of the plot. Normally, I'd throw a bump or two in to make sure everyone was ready to move forward, but since there really wasn't much in the way of decision-making necessary (or for the most part especially possible), I made the executive decision that getting folks to a point where they [i]did[/i] have to interact and make decisions sooner rather than later was the best option. I tried to make my descriptions interesting enough that the couple days it took to get to this point were at least mildly entertaining, but I decided that forcing folks to respond would only serve to bog things down more. My assumption is that, yes, the party would have camped on their trip (probably during the middle of the day in the desert). Otherwise I'd be having to make Endurance rolls for horses and riders. ;) There would have been normal rest and daily spell prep. LPF lets you make a transcription attempt once per real life day, so I'd say you or Anaerion can make one attempt per day of posts since the arrival in Heth. Yes, it took you more in-game days to get here, but I'm under the impression that the malleable nature of game time is precisely why those rules are in place? If I've misunderstood them, my apologies. And yes, while there is an urgency to the main adventure, there will be multiple 'rest / camp' opportunities during the adventure, so you'll be in a position to do more transcribing (and spending of acquired gold) at those points. My foul on this one. Katenaya is handling the cover story of your loss, so you moved straight on to your mission. This town is Kostry Kopec. The mention of it by name by the crier was meant to be a formalized way to let you know that; sorry for the confusion. So, yes, the mayor here is already expecting you on a different matter[/sblock] The guard has barely made it to conversation range when Kalgor speaks. [color=olive]"Another? You mean there are more towns besieged by this terror?"[/color] he says, clearly horrified. He hasn't time to get clarification before Tyrien and Kalgor begin debating whether or not to help, though he leaps on Tyrien's question about The Crows. [color=olive]"Me. I mean, us. Crows. That's the local guard force here in Kostry Kopec,"[/color] he explains, then nods to Kalgor. [color=olive]"And for newcomers, you've already got a handle on the officials, yes?
