I was thinking of doing a jump after this day in the game, putting us a week or ten days ahead in our stay at Dol Guldur. It would be more logical if we spent a while digging through Dol Guldur's underground, but I don't want to draw it out indefinitely, hence the jump. Would you guys agree, or would you prefer to just play the next day?
I'm asking specifically because it would put relationships between characters ten days ahead. So Tabrîl's and Abasi's courtship would have progressed off-screen. Aerin's condition would be improved in 10 days time, as would Abasi's and Quickleaf's wounds. (These things can be mentioned, or dealt with in flashbacks but we wouldn't write them in real time.) So if you prefer not to jump ahead, do let me know. Quote:

Although it may help (this is in no way meant as criticism, please don't take it that way, it is just some advice that may help) if you write shorter posts. I know this game moves fast, so if you cut the lenght of your entries (which, I assume, take a while to compose and write), there may be a greater window of opportunity to interact with other characters. Conversation between different character flows better too in shorter posts. For now, why don't Ingwionis and A'mael follow Ellysa and Carnehilion into the underground? They may volunteer to help find Nami. There's a good opportunity for interaction right there.

I think that sounds like a good idea! Longer posts usually do indicate an almost side-journey in a way after all. I guess it would be a little hard to talk back to a character when you have to respond to thousands of words.

Allright. I'm REALLY confused. Where are Borin, Hedrim and Quickleaf?

Hey haven't been around to post but I'll be on later 2night, and to Sasquatch, we haven't moved much, just trying to locate Nami and Ellysa (but they don't know that Ellysa has gotten out and found help in Carnehillion)
I believe Borin, Hedrim and Quickleaf are trailing Nami (and Ellysa, but she's not lost anymore). We can continue doing it later today cya then

So since I last got to look, Elyssa and Nami were lost, Elyssa is not anymore. Then Elyssa got out and then went bback in with some new companions?
I'm looking at some of the newer posts now. You'll have to forgive me for spelling, but Carnehilion and Elyssa are going with Ingwionis as well as with my character A'mael according to the last posts. Also, ghosts came from behind the metal door? What are they ghosts of? Quote:

A jump would be fine, we can only get lost in the dark so many times after all...

Jumping is fine with me, I'll use a flashback then.

Lemme give you a short summary: Ellysa, Carnehilion, A'mael and and Ingwionis have just entered the underground tunnels from outside, looking for Nami. Nami has just met up with Truor inside the tunnels. Borin, Quickleaf and Hedrim are deeper into the underground complex, approaching Nami's location, I assume. Radagast, Branwyn and Aelfwine are still deeper into the tunnels, trying to catch up with Borin, Quickleaf and Hedrim. And Haldis and Aerin seem to be somewhere in between in a side-tunnel.

Jump is no problem for Tabrîl, either. So long as Rinkë's alright with it I'm sure we can decide on whatever might have occurred between Tabrîl and Abasi offscreen via PM or something and then just make reference to it in our posts after the timeshift.
Are the ghost-marten-things heading for the exit? Obviously I'll have to give everyone actually inside time to spot them first, but just wondering if Tabrîl would see them?

Yes, the marten-things are eventually heading for the exit.

I gotta say Eärniel, I'm impressed by your oversight over this RPG! We're lucky to have a mod always one step ahead and with a story

12 people in the tunnels altogether? It would be terrible if something happened to the integrity of the tunnels during that.

It would certainly make for a quick finish....

Well, Borin said the integrity was good, and if you can't trust a dwarf about a tunnel...

Now that should be intresting...
BTW, I won't be online tomorrow. Earniel, if you need to use Aelfwine to farther the storyline, go ahead. I'll be back on Monday.
