I'd go with option A.


@Thinslayer I suppose it really depends on how much you want to write :D If you're willing to do a fair amount of writing, option A is the clear one, and it provides a lot of player-driven interaction. This will hold especially true to any reprimands being made by our Orc Captain, and could perhaps set the stage for either future conflicts or personal affairs.

Option B will allow everyone to wrap up the battles their own way, but will still more or less be the same as option A. It may indeed require more work on your part since everyone will be making a post to respond directly to, as opposed to everyone being in a potential group :3 It's good if you're looking for a challenge or are dedicated, but I wouldn't recommend it.

The third option is the easiest, and can easily be the best if done well c: You can get across the brutality of the raid, the soldiers who disobeyed direct orders, and advancing plot points all in one go. It's the easiest to write and is personally my preference ^-^ It'll also allow for a little bit of freedom from characters to decide what they did and will do, though it could be the longest of the three depending on how you write it!

TL;DR: Personally I'd go with some time after, but each has its own pros and cons ;)


Skipping to the post-invasion march against the Alliance certainly seems easier, but it opens up the risk of plot-holes and skips some major drama we need to carry the plot forward. Wrapping up the characters' individual fights will have to be told in flashbacks, which are a little awkward in PvGM combat situations. It'll make writing the rest of the story a bit harder. Skipping to the immediate end of the fight is a bit easier because the characters have an excuse to describe what they did for the readers' benefit, and allows the introduction of drama with the orcish leadership needed to drive the plot.

So we'll skip the immediate end of the fight. I'll have to postpone the writeup until Monday morning/noon (it's 1:15am now, and I don't write well when I'm tired).

Anyone need me to help tie up some loose ends before the skip?

I suppose now is the best time to put something down to prove I am still here. Well here I go writing again.
