Do you actually intend to timeskip right away, or do you intend to make at least one more post on the spot? I am actually halfway inclined to make a continuation post for Aemoten, and if you intend to timeskip, I'd rather do it now.  Chances are I'm not receiving a reply to that, either (though Iäd certainly like one), but eh... If for no other reason, then for the sake of not making one hypermassive post afterwards.  
How do you imagine the people'd be brought together after the timeskip, by the way? I'm tempted to suggest not letting them meet right away, but just putting them in the same inn and have them meet in the morning or something... And will still have to talk to the people of the other collab (since they have to be picked up at some point before or after Zerul City, too) and make a post there.  

Rhaevnn, are you around?
