You have a very nice intro and background story. I must admit that it is more than I put into my own story. You can leave it here if you like or use it in the other thread. Some of the background stories can be used when you meet people in the other thread. A way of getting to know someone better. The talking can be done in whatever color you would like. I picked yellow right off the bat and some of the others started using it as well. If you want to use a color you can pick the one you want and go from there. To use color you can click the reply button and then there is a button titled "Colors" that you can use to select the color you wish to have. Once you get familiar with that and the color you wish to use you can make short cut work of it, meaning you can type out what needs to be done to create the color. text This is basically what you have to write to use the shortcut for color. If you wanted yellow text, you would write "yellow" in place of the "whatever color you want". The hidden text I assume you mean being spoilers. You basically write the word spoiler in [] and then /spoiler in [] after the text you want hidde. text If you think of other questions, feel free to ask away. |

Hey, you can wander around in the woods if you want. I'm sure one of Dred's characters will trip over you if you want to be found. He's good at coming up with stuff. Just give us a heads up here if you'd rather be near Sherwydd, rather than the unnamed village Kaie is at.
Which reminds me... We need a village name! Any ideas? (Or did you already cover that, Dred, and I just missed it?)

I'm glad you have it figured out Kaz. I'm happy to help out as needed. Join in wherever and whenever you wish.
I haven't given a name for the village and not really named the chief, your father either. My brain was locked so I couldn't come up with anything that sounded good.

Okay! So, is everybody supposed to have their own character? Or do I use the ones that are already there?

Feel free to create someone. Dred's extra men up on the hillside are up for grabs if you want to be one of them and drop yourself into the middle of the story. In fact, you can choose to be a villager in Kaie's father's village. You can also be an independant character who walks in to the story. Have fun!

You can have multiple characters if you wish to do so. There is nothing saying you have to limit yourself to one. The only reason I have more right now is to help keep thing moving.

I have no idea what a fortified town would look like. *sigh* And I don't have time to research it now. Feel free to email me any links you think might help here. Oh, and Chip, I don't suppose you could locate this town on the map somewhere? I'll need another tribe nearby, within a couple days walk, later on in the story. Feel free to name these places as you want. I'll use whatever you come up with. If you don't have time, don't worry. I'm sure I can do without a map. *grin* Dred did a good job describing the fortified villiage. I will find a place on the map for it. There are a couple of places that I had in mind for stuff when I setup the layout. Based on your description in the the story (3 days walk) I may need to expand the map some. I also need to add the new characters to the resources. Sorry, I haven't participated much lately. I will try to do better. |

No worries bud. Real life gets busy and takes you away from all the fun things we've got going in here. I know well how that happens.

Heh, shall we assume that kangaroos and such can stumble through? *wonders how they'd fare in the winter*
Well, we have Aurochs, wolves, crows, hounds, horses, pigs, salmon, boars, umm... deer, partridge, cattle, sheep... feel free to add to my list, guys. This comes from a quick skim of "Song of Albion."

The animals you have there sound pretty good. I think that having some animals come through wouldn't be a bad thing. Kangaroos would be something that has walked through the gap and found themselves here, just as the aurochs found itself in the "real" world.
I'm sure there are other animals that could show up but lets not infest Albion with every single animal that we would find on earth. Just my thoughts though.

Please note I've made two days pass.
Shylah is currently under attack. If you can use it, Dred, go ahead. Otherwise, I'll have the other men take him on and explain that he's really suspicious of anyone who might be a spy and he got away from them.
Another possibility is that he's trying to create a reason to attack Sherwydd, and plans to blame the village for the death of Kaie. *grin* So many possible paths!

Well, I might have gotten a little carried away but there it is. Use it as you will.
I'm thinking that there will still be at least one or two other men teamed up with these that can still be used in some fashion.
My appologies if I took things further than you desired.
