OOC: I don't think Ice would lose just because she's a woman. She's not "just" a woman, she's a warrior in full plate armor, fully armed and riding a war horse, and these guys are not bandits or warriors, but merely hunters... I think she'd kick butt. However, in the interest of caution, and not to waste our lives on these guys, I'm all for moving on in the original direction, circling back when out of sight of the hunters and filling in the rest of the party on what's happening up ahead of them.

IC: "'Tis true, friend, we might feel badly for killing them all so quickly, and for their wives -- poor things! -- who would have need of better protection than these provide." She sheaths her sword and stays at Ice's flank as they move on.

Rescue camp

Well, the GM decided I didn't post soon enough. I will now just post that we will continue on our way. I sent an e-mail complaining that we have no way to know that an encounter is insignificant. We committed to posting once per day and that there are 9 of us in different time zones that need to discuss options. Other than that, I can't do much, but I feel like all of our discussion has been a waste.

A post has been added to the staying alive tips to help us when encountering people and animals so that we can tell when an encounter is just routine and when it is of significance. The lesson to be learned from this is, we should make one attempt at gaining information and if we don't get it, move on. We can't spend a lot of time on trivial matters, we need to get to the action. At least, I think that is the lesson to be learned from this. Everyone should read that tip.

Updated:

I posted that Ice and Sabina are looking for a good place to camp for the night. It really isn't wise to continue to travel at night.

Now, let's quickly decide who is doing what for our plan. I suggest a fake camp with three fake members all sleeping. We can stay about 100 yards away and have scouts out in pairs watching to see if their is any action. We will need a quick response and signal if their is any action because they will just about immediately know that it is a trap once they walk into the camp. I don't see any reason to put live people in the camp, but if you all do and someone wants to volunteer, let me know.

This is going to require us staying up all night. If it doesn't work, we will be in trouble tomorrow because we won't be fit for travel. I suggest all but two of us sleep immediately after dinner. Then those two go to sleep around 10:00. If any action comes before 10:00 they will need to be awakened immediately.

What I need now is details. So, if anyone has comments and/or suggestions, they must be very specific. Don't just throw out an idea, but give absolute details regarding how to do it. I am going to need to make my next post specify what we are all going to do while waiting for this attack.

Here are my details:

I suggest that we stop for the day around 5:00. Quickly gather leaves and dirt to build mounds that will look like sleeping bodies (3 of them). Who has cloaks or blankets that they will give for the purpose? We will build a camp fire and eat at this fake camp. Then by 7:00 we will all move about 100 yard (unless we need to be closer to see, what do you think) away. Take cover, but not sleep. Pick two people to stay awake - Not Mud, though - and the rest get some shut eye. Then at 10:00 those two go to sleep until 1:00. After 1:00 everyone is awake and waiting, weapons at the ready. Now, the two awake at 7:00 always have weapons ready and those sleeping sleep with weapons ready. Then at 10:00 the two that go to sleep so do with their weapons and the rest of you stay awake with your weapons at the ready. Hopefull no action will come before 1:00, but if it does, whoever is sleeping needs to be awakened and we need to very quickly surround the camp.

OCC: Why do we want to put fake people to guard our camp? isn't this a dangerous move?. I think we should have at least 2 members of our group (real people) guarding the camp in case of thieves or attack by wolves or other individuals.

Rescue camp

I am not having fake people guard our camp. I am having a fake camp. I am saying we eat at the camp so it looks like people did something there and so that there will be a fire, but I don't mean for us to leave our stuff in the camp. I would take all our gear with us when we exit the camp so we have it with us ready for battle.

OCC: Oh okay, I understand now. I think is a good plan. I think Daphne can handle to stay a bit up, so sign her up.

Well, now what? It looks like we aren't going to camp here. Maybe we should all keep walking together now until dusk and just start our plan or, we can just implement it from here. I think we should look for a wooded area to spend the night. That would be the best for us to make the plan work. What do you think?

Updated:

O.K. I am an idiot. We will have no problem finding a place to camp. So with Remi's feet in such bad shape, I guess we should start setting up camp now? Maybe find a nice wooded area, gather wood and begin our plan?

IC:

"Well, it doesn't look like we can go much futher with Remi in the shape he is in. How do you expect to keep up with us tomorrow?"

I.C.- I am willing to stand guard with Daphne. What better chance to become more aqianted with a single individual than this. My main goal would be to keep watch as purposed. Maybe next time I will ride next as a scout and " be the muscle". :laughes heartily:

OOC- I am more than willing for next time to just coincidentally be there when some action arrives. Also I am sorry I don't post as often as necessary but I try to keep up.
