I mean if you are travelling by yourself in the middle of an invasion of demons and undead etc then getting a room should be the least of your worries lol.

But for the sake of the story I will say no, rooms can be rented by any adventurers or those in need of a place to stay. Unless you want to make a funny post with that kind of interaction at the forefront before eventually getting a room I mean.

EDIT: I read the question before reading your post lol.

@lostandfoundme Aw! Thank you so much! That's so sweet of you! ^///^

Maaan, work got me good. Sorry guys. Finally got some time off.
Will make a post sometime today/tonight to finish up Syd's end of the in-game night.

@DrBatche81
I like the idea of fodder NPCs, lol. We can just chisel them off as they go deeper.
And maybe the remaining handful gets killed in one big attack, or something.

No problems, the heat and work is kicking my backside at the moment so its definitely taking away from my time I would rather be RPing lol

Will wait for @z3r0 to post and will try and get a decent sized post up to make the timeskip and fodder characters happen. If thats alright with everyone.

Lorn plans on buying a mule for logistics. An emotional attachment may be made ❤️ And yes, that works Doc

@DrBatche81
That sounds sick, yesss. Works for me.

@KactusPunch
LOL. "You brought a MULE?! To the DARKMERE?!"
Only it carries things and is very useful and Syd will probably secretly want to ride it because he's tired of this unexpectedly long-ass trek to the deep-dark wilderness.

@z3r0I can see Lorn prodding at Syd passively about his silly orcish ways, like "long walk huh" &&Horses are too skittish imo for most things none gondorian

With a mule, Rizx will need a string of onions. Can't eat the undead, they put up too much of a fight.

The deed is done.
Also updated character sheet for inventory. Because I can't help myself.

@KactusPunch
Banter-HO! They'll be the best of worst friends by the end of this.

@Expendable
I can see Rizx suggesting they eat the pack mule everyone's emotionally invested in.

Only if it dies. She's not a monster, just practical.

I apologise in advance for the veritable deluge of words coming within the next couple of days because of my post. I have added 4 newcomers that will be my NPC's until I say otherwise in the OOC then whoever wants to be the writer of their demise gets to pick lol.

The only one who I will say is not killable (for the foreseeable future at least) will be Linsha.

This will slowly be revealed why as the story progresses.

Hopefully it all works out and makes sense though.

As for any other fodder characters I was thinking to put a bunch of dwarves and humans in with us as scouts and fighters who everyone can use as they see fit.
And kill them off when needed etc

I never listed Rizx equipment, although I've mentioned her amulet, the ring to command her gauntlets, a small pack and her carpet bag.
I can elaborate more, if needed.

@Expendable whatever you feel like writing about your character is absolutely fine. Sometimes we all have creative bursts and want to write or add extra layers etc. Nothing wrong with that at all.

I posted the timeskip and it was not as much as i had thought it was going to be. But we can start to move forward lol.

Oops just realised both Kactus and myself posted in IC. Anyone know how to remove them?

Mods i think, I made a morning oppsie
MY BAD I fixed it with a post that time skips Lorn into a shopping for two days

No problems. It not a massive deal either way.

I was wondering since we're doing a time skip how are both @Blue Wolf, @StarfrostedFox and I gonna join the group? i feel like at least me and Wolf wouldn't have that many reasons to join yet since she's a kid and I'm just doing whatever
and ig since we time skipped from us all meeting how did it end and stuff? I feel like out of everyone I would've stuck w fox probably so maybe you have some ideas? :P

Heyyyyyy Guys

Sorry I what been ghosting around for a while. Wrote a test for 6 hours today....but got inspiration from the test venue so it's a win win....

Also for my little Nyx. She will perhaps just join the group because of finding more new rocks to taste and stuff... And she does have a staff bit isn't that great at magic yet so she might as well get lessons from Theron during the trip

Also I am thinking of contributing her rock identification skills and linking it with the formation of the landscape and terrain that we encounter. Just like how geologists and archeologists do the science stuff to see how old the rock was and what it is made up of. But I am still polishing this idea so feel free to chime any ideas. I think in a way I might help out with Theron since he is a scholar himself

Also @lostandfoundme don't worry about it.your character is just in need of persuasion. I can make Nyx wyn about bring the whole lot cause I need people to guard my sweets or something (energy levels are abit low sorry if the ideas is going here and there). Or maybe you have some like ancient Fae backstory of finding a lost relic in the dark mere or like a portal back to the Fae .....

It's just thoughts you all. I gonna take a quick wee nap and be back in a hour or two.

@lostandfoundme Befriend Willow the Mule, Lorn's new aide lol, that one avenue to at least introduce the gang to Lorn, I suspect the orc (and maybe Syd) will be last minute guarded entries. I left Lorns third day open if so for potential collabs after my goof.

@lostandfoundme If you want, we can work on a post together that gets us through the evening through a p.m. or something. And then you can post it altogether. That way, we can get our characters caught up. Or I can work a time skip into my post. Which would you rather?

@Blue Wolf Theron being unexpectedly made a mentor made me laugh. I like the idea. And she'll probably be obsessed with his candy as well. He kind of put himself in that trap right there.
