I think the argument was along the lines of 'If we just appear in the city, we might be jumping into the fire and skipping the frying pan all together.'
My exams start tomorrow morning and will be continuing on for the next month. I won't be able to post tonight, and my posting might become a bit more broken up over all. I'll still be here though, and I'll still get posts in as regularly as I can.
Just letting you all know that I'm really enjoying this. I'll let you roleplay it out for another 24 hours or so. Then I'll need a destination for the travel via plants assuming that's what you want to do of course.
I sort of assumed the king's mages made contact earlier and Tinwë was able to make her way back already. If that's not right I can change my last post, I was just getting tired of sitting around.
My first post about being contacted by the mage assumed that Tinwe and Ryestro hadn't been contacted, because the king's people didn't yet realize the party had separated.
I agree that things have slowed to a crawl. I suspect some players are just extra busy in real life, and we're all trying to let everyone weigh in as we make the decision of where to go next and what mode of travel to use.
I guess I just figured that we traveled for five hours, then stopped and took a long rest. The king'a mages are supposed to contact us like every 6 hours, right? Or not? I don't remember. But if so, they would have known for a while that we had split up, and then contacted us.
I don't remember a contact schedule being established. But I'm pretty sure that if we have heard from the mages since we left, it was before the party split up.
Yeah, I mean that sometime soon after we split they would have contacted Rolana, and she would have reported the split. Then they would have reached out to Tinwë or Ryestro, and we march on back. Or we could just stay in the middle of nowhere.
