*steeples fingers*

Good.


(If Musa was playing he'd be Dúnedain something)

[Eradan]

Any suggestions for regions to select as Known Lands?

[Musasabi]

I'll send you a copy of the maps the game uses.

Something in the Wilderlands or Eriador would probably be most likely for one of the Dúnedain.

[Éoraeth of Dunharrow]

Yay, a Dunedain!

Having some time to finally dig through the new reveal, I wonder when we can begin posting across Laketown, and for which days and slots i.e. when it the post-Bar meeting time.

Also, Looking at opportunities for adventure, I think Éoraeth is most compelled to go to Dorwinion, mostly because it's one the way to Rohan for the Easterlings and he'd like to know what's brewing there. Barring that, he would like to stay east i.e. not cross Mirkwood again but the not-orcs in the middle makes that spot less appealing. A military campaign with Bard feels quite good, because slaying goblins and watching how there can be a role model king. If not that, the one with Beorn in the northeast is also ok, especially since it's Gundabad and the old spot of Éotheod. I guess the Grey Mountains settlement issue is meh, but acceptable. In the end, however, he might just go where Uriel has a strong preference to go or won't go where she clearly doesn't want, since the guardianship pledge is a serious commitment for him.

Personal top 3:

1. Dorwinion
2. Iron Hills
3. Beorn

[Eradan]

Eradan will be able to give a few details regarding the issues around the Grey Mountains, I believe. He'll be willing to travel anywhere he may be helpful, however.

[Éoraeth of Dunharrow]

I'd be happy to bump into Eradan asap.

[Eradan]

I'll be happy to run into anyone.

[Éoraeth of Dunharrow]

Until further notice, I am suspending my participation in the game. Any kind of return is conditional on other players returning to a measure of commitment and regular activity. Please contact me if it happens.

[Eradan]

Now that I've gotten a better feel for things, I'm available for threads, if anyone is interested.

[Éoraeth of Dunharrow]

Musa told me we need to get 4 of us at the least to trigger another adventure. So let's count to four.

One.

[Vidar]

If anyone has a means of bringing me back up to speed on the events thus far, and what I missed, I would be most appreciative.

[Éoraeth of Dunharrow]

Basically, nothing has happened on group level since we arrived in Lake-town. I went on solitary quest, and that's about it. We're on the next day.

If you have some lapses from across Mirkwood, just tell when you lost track.

[Eradan]

*waves*

I am here.

[Éoraeth of Dunharrow]

Maybe come over here. I imagine it's quite the commotion, and it could be a way to meet.

[Musasabi]

We'll probably be heading up North to check on the missing persons reports coming in from where Eradan has come.

The other options we can leave of until later.

Four-Six adventurers are probably pretty good for this. I do have a couple of NPCs available to help out once you get up there. If the group is four they'll also probably be able to help in combat.

I'm thinking of just a quick little adventure, not lasting more than 2-3 RL weeks.

[Éoraeth of Dunharrow]

I am enticed to go there by my recent acquisition, so yeah, I approve.

[Eradan]

Sounds good.

[Vidar]

I am present but just having difficulty getting my head on straight.

[Musasabi]

You could wander deeper into the tunnel...

[Vidar]

Hmmm, I could! I likely will!

Tunnels and dwarves go together like dwarves and going too deep... wait.
