First, let me suggest that you discuss possible group actions here before posting. What I mean is that in everyone's last post you talked about whether or not to go along with Boris. That makes sense, but it means we go a week or two with nothing really happening besides the fact that you each voice your opinion. In addition, I don't actually know that there is a group consensus - just a number of posts. Instead use this location to talk about it. Post here saying if you want to accept his offer of guidance. Come to an agreement, then post. The same for taking a rest. Then my next post could easily move us along - you could take your rest, move on down the river and maybe even be approaching the Vargolg or some other encounter right now. Essentially, when you say, "Sure, I'd follow along," it makes for realistic conversation, but it is far less useful for me than having someone write "After a brief discussion the group agrees to go with Boris." If all discussion happens in the game thread things are likely to move very slowly. Or I will be forced to make assumptions about group actions, which I would prefer to avoid. Finally, this is a great place to plan group actions - for example coordinating attacks and such. When (if) we get to places like the Vargolg I will need to know things like who opens a door and how. That might be stuff you want to talk about.
Second, I will assume that you go along with him after a rest unless I hear otherwise. That seems reasonably obvious, so don't expect a week long break.
Third, If you want to do anything specific over the break, let me know. If you want a specific rest schedule, let me know. Otherwise it is just random chance as to who is on guard. Do you want a long rest? Short rest? Change spells? I will assume everything stays the same unless told otherwise.
Fourth, I believe we have lost our druid. At least there has been no post in quite some time and I have had no response to a message. If anyone has heard from them, please get them back in the game.
