Initial setup, will edit later.

Moved the map over here for ease of reference.

Padre,

Looking at your map, in Richmond, is the village/town icon just right of the castle the village of Mandala?

Are we moving through the town, north up to Hood?

Where is Woodstock on the map?

Are the red village icon in Hood the goblin settlements? (and the tan ones Human settlements?)

What are the names of the other towns/villages in Hood? (Are you able to label them or post here their names with some sort of indicator of which is which?)

Also, are there any rules/guidelines on roleplaying on journey to the border of Hood? What I mean is, how much freedom do we have to make up and interact with the NPCs (like the farmers we pass or the wagon train or the villagers in Mandala)?

Finally, when we reach the border of the forest, what time of the day are we at? Is it time to set up camp for the night? Is it dark? Mid afternoon on the first day? That will help us determine what we do next.

Thanks!
Ayrn

Yes Mandala is the town just right of Richmond Castle.

You are free to bypass it, but that would require going off road. I figure it would just be faster and easier to go through...

Woodstock is where the road ends in Hood. The reason it is shown as huts is that it is a temporary settlement.

The Red huts icon is the Goblin settlement. (the exact location is unknown as they are nomadic.)
The red icon at the top is an old ruin predating the current age. (but the characters don't know about it)

The small tan huts are logging camps feeding into Woodstock. They don't have names, and they move every few months.

For this leg of the journey you have complete freedom to role play interactions with the farmers, merchants, etc. (so long as you keep it reasonable )

And when you reach the border it is going on evening, and time to make camp.... There is a well used cam site at the border.

Hey Padre,
Just checking in on the status of this game. Thursday passed by and just seeing if you are looking to update the game or if you are looking for some more roleplaying from us or what you see as the next step in moving the story forward.

Let us know. Looking forward to playing this adventure out!

Ayrn

What I'm thinking is that I'll give information up to a point (in this case the border of Hood) then you's can RP up until that point. Then I'll give more information, etc, etc.

So ATM looking for a little more RPing.

I was hoping that Ayrn would be back and able to respond and keep things going. However Ayrn isn't back yet and I don't want the game to fizzle.

So...

The characters were heading to the inn at Mandala... Do you's want to RP stopping at the inn without Ayrn or continue along?

Also haker9 has inquired about joining the game, to which I have said was alright. They have not yet PMed me a character though... So more to come on that.

Well I haven't heard back from Haker9 yet so with the interests of keeping the game going I will play Sir Anthony until we can find someone to take the character over.

I will post "Anthony" or "DM" in the subject to specify who I'm posting as.

Hi y'all,

I'm all for a bit of RP at Mandala.
In other news, it seems that Aryn is back.

So Ayrn is back to the site... but not to the Duchy. However we have a new player to take over Ayrn's character.

KennyZ93 has agreed to take over Sir Anthony and should be posting in the near future.

Sweet.

Welcome!

I was wondering if your character would please respond to mine in my post. Not entirely sure how this works yet.

ok i'll try and have a post up sometime tomorrow. today was a busy day, and i'm all but in a vegetative state for the evening. lol, Not that its much of an off put from my normal state.

Just a quick reminder, You are still only in Mandala, not in Woodstock.

The way I was reading Astrid's post was that you were already in Woodstock.

I apologize if I read it wrong.

umm, my bad. it made sense in my head. but gibberish doesn't always translate well lol.

were in mandala and were talking about plans for when we reach Woodstock hee hee woodstock... wonder if hendrix will be thier..?
