(I wasn't aware of that...if that makes this game too big a burden, we can close it out...it'd be a shame, but I'm under no illusions that this game would be an easy thing to run. )
OOC: My Co_DM has been dragged away and chained up by the horrible game stealing monster known as Real Life. I am however, eager to continue and if the players are willing I will post. The ball is in your court.
Okay, as I see it you have a few options. Anyone who made a successful knowledge check could share info, you have some survivors from the garrison you could talk to, you could just go to bed and we'll advance time until morning and continue on or something else. What is your pleasure?
