You said that we cant easily follow our trail back to the settlement, correct? Since the tree markings are now covered with snow?

If we can follow the larger trail that Brevos found from here, I don't know that we really need to go back to the settlement.

If those assumptions are correct, I propose that we just lick our wounds and continue on from here.

Pyotr has said his bit- if we stay in the woods and try to move on, we're more likely to die of exposure or some other natural hazard.

We've burned nearly all of our resources in the fight with the wolves, and barely escaped. Much as Urdur wants to continue into the forest, I think we need to rest up on HP and magic before moving on. If the villagers want to make fun of us for it, so be it. It's not like they're going to turn us away, and no creatures will attack us there.

Depending on how long we rest up, Urdur can cast Invisibility on someone (perhaps a thiefy-type) before we head out, so that we have an ace up our sleeve....

Hi Rredmond and Ogre Mage,
Yes and yes, as per the below...


Subject: Chapter 17: The Thing in the Woods
Inferno wrote: ...The footprints are long gone now. Brevos had tracked them onto a larger path. They follow that path through the ruthless, bonechilling elements for what seems like days.
Then that path is devoured out from under them by the driving snows. They don't know how long they might have strayed from it.

None can tell direction, nor time of night. Their footprints are rapidly swallowed up by the drifting snow. And Pyotr's blazes are hidden beneath the thick white that now blankets every trunk.

With a terrible dread, they realize they are lost in the haunted wood, in the jaws of a blizzard...

This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Wilderness marching order, please.

So far I have Brevos tracking at the lead, followed closely by Hothhil and Rudolf.
I need the rest please. Thanks. :)

How about:

Br




Ho / Ru
In / LB
Mon / Ur
GM
Py / Te

That way two fighters in front, two in back, MUs in the middle.

I hadn't seen the marching order posted- but it looks fine to me, until circumstances change.

Considering all that’s happened to him, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bo is out in the woods, talking to buildings. :D
