Plot Question: Ruh roh! Darkspawn! Would there be other nasties too? With so many people having died simultaneously in Ostagar, the Veil probably took a beating around those parts and not only that, but the mages might even get more excitement because demons could have escaped and be prowling around hunting for fresh meat....
I'd say give a bit more time for the post-Joining threads to wrap up because there are several of them. One player in IRC was mentioning that he was four replies behind on his threads... I'm just a little worried that once the plot heavy stuff occurs, the players with active threads right now might get overwhelmed.
BUT. As for starters...
I think maybe start picking at it one at a time? Start with Cadi's Bandits Scene first, and then the recruitment of the brothers. Once those are done, we can hit Lothering and do the side quests, and then... I'd like a camp scene too, but I think that would be more fun once everyone has been rounded up (since we won't get to Seda and Pavak until once we're closer to Ostagar). Maybe we can have one on the way back from Ostagar? After fighting a broodmother and killing her, I suspect that there would be a lot of things to talk about between the Wardens and their companions.
