x (ambient plot) Lalin has noticed that Azabeth Kordura is currently wanted. Upon passing through the market, she has also noticed Puck, a slaver from her past. In a side conversation she has informed Ordhan (who later informed Falina), Conlan, and Faer. The three wardens in the meeting disregarded this as a safe lead to follow, and only want to spend the time as a last resort, unsure if Lalin truly has spotted whom she remembers.
x Tam and Cicero have noticed the party's entrance to the Alienage, and have sent their adorable slave baby look-out to fetch two representatives for a meeting.
x Falina, believing Lalin's meeting to be a personal slight, breaks off from the group, where she meets Darrian and Dolain. Davin, overjoyed to see his old friend after such a horrible ordeal the night before, rushes ahead to greet Darrian. Lalin notices his path, and then Dolain, who she rushes over to bludgeon with his abandoned bow.
Where everyone is at now:
GROUP 1 Cormac, Shok, Hissra, Shartan :: In between entrances, standing near the big honking
GROUP 2 Conlan, and Faer :: A few feet from Group 1, slightly away from the big honking magic tree
GROUP 3 Lalin, Dolain, Davin, Darrian :: At the back entrance to the Alienage, visible by Group 1
GROUP 4 Falina, Ordhan :: A few feet away from Group 3, far more visible to G1 and G2.
What's going to happen:
Shortly the group will be approached by Tam and Cicero's go-between, and asked to choose two representatives for a back-alley meeting. Falina will likely take a small group to the Market to find Puck. This will leave a third group, of those who are unable to go to the meeting, or unwilling to go to the market. So no one has to sit an twiddle their thumbs, I've created an NPC lead for them to follow. Meet Eloise. She's an old elven lady, who has a bone to pick with whoever shouted at her beggar grandson in the beginning of the thread, however, seeing a large group of fighters, is now subtly trying to flag down any of the characters in small group one.
She's seen her fair share of disappearances in the Alienage over the years, and may be able to help should relations with Puck, Tam, and Cicero go poorly... which, let's face it. Almost certainly will happen. Eloise is currently standing outside of her pitiful little house, and at the ripe age of 65 stands only 4'8 tall. For anyone who sees her, she has been staring at the party since her grandson rushed to her side. Right now though, since the groups have broken down significantly, she's now nodding her head to the direction of her house.
Organizational Thing:
I saw this in a Harry Potter game, and feel like this could be an ENORMOUS help to the thread. My HIGH-TECH- PAINT suggestions are as follows:
What I'm asking, is for the go ahead to add the location posts under a header. At bare minimum, we need to be rigidly cascading asides. Jill and Mouse have been doing an excellent job with this. I really think this is a great idea. Please, let me know what you guys think. We'll need to use it in just a few short posts for it to be effective.
