OK, first post in the IC is up. It's not a lot yet, but it sets the scene and gives everyone a chance to sort of introduce themselves in character with what's going on. It's obviously set up for some impending action, but rather than jump in, I thought we'd have a moment of breath first to establish things, and then dive into a brief fight to get things exciting. Once the first rounds of posts is done - no need to worry about post order - I'll throw up another one. If I don't have a full set by next weekend, I'll jump straight into moving things on, and whoever missed out will have to play catch up.
