My apologies for the delay in the update. Things keep on a'happening on my end, unavoidable for the most part and annoying at the very best. But it's up. Huzzahs all around. However, I would like to reiterate the sentiment from the instructions here in the OOC from the last update - we are in an interesting position there two people are technically in transit at the time. This transit will take up the entirely of the game day, and while it might be an interesting bit of character introspection to have them share their thoughts and feelings about being on a snowy road and traveling in opposite directions, while the ones who aren't traveling interact in detail with their surroundings, it would put folks at an unequal level of opportunity. So, let's plan actions for the day, and prepare for a minor time skip until after the travelers get to where they're going.

Barring a random encounter roll going awry, that is.

Per our usual, please get with me in our Discord about thoughts, questions, concerns, and of course die rolls. Thanks again.

And here we are again. Update has been updated, and the short time skip has been implemented. As it sits right now, only one person has dipped into the option to train their upcoming skills/tool/language, and no one has posted as if we were readying for a time skip. No worries, we have been moved ahead anyway. A similar one will take place next update to get our newest player up to the rest of the group, leaving us at nighttime. Please plan accordingly.

Aric will be walking up the same road that Victoria and Baronfjord are riding in their wagon upon, headed toward one another. If there is a reason for them to recognize one another, that might be an interaction. If there isn't, or we don't want to belabor the possibility, crossing paths in opposite directions is a viable option. This reminds me: @Zman, please roll a Survival check in our Discord for Aric. DC 12.

Continued driving of the wagon will count as Baronfjord practicing his upcoming proficiency for the cycle. But we will need to see how he's working through it for the first half. @Arty Fox, please roll me a Land Based Vehicles check for BB, Dex based, half proficiency. DC is also 12.

Per our usual, please be in touch with me in our Discord for die roll requests, rulings, questions, etc. and have the spiffiest of days.

@rivaan@Shoe Thief@Sigil@Arty Fox@Zman

Hello all, and welcome to the end of one half of the time skip I've been telling you all I would be imposing. From that time to this, all of your actions have taken up the entirety of your character's morning and some of the afternoon. For the folks in transit, this isn't so bad. You're getting distance out behind you. Great. For everyone else who is poking about the Vineyard, this is slightly less ideal. I saw those die rolls. I know. BUT ANYWAY, there's precious little daylight left, and we're going to basically do a little something similar this time around for the second half of this time skip until people are where they need to be, so, please let me know what your character's plans are for the second half of the day and let's get some die rolls covered.

For those wishing to pursue a more fleshed-out dialogue between PCs and/or NPCs, please remember that making a collaborative post is a fully valid way to get the posting requirements of all parties involved taken care of in tandem. And it saves overall game time. Just remember the rule about not speaking for named NPCs. Those are for me to direct. But there's a world of possibilities there, so long as things don't stretch too far into the idea of metastuffs.

But back to our standard stuff - Please be in touch with me via our Discord for questions, concerns, if I missed something critical, or if you need to resolve a die roll. Thanks again!

@rivaan@Shoe Thief@Sigil@Arty Fox@Zman

Alright, I will make this as succinct as I can, all things considered. We have gone through the minor time skip as I said we would. Conversations which do not take place at or near to twilight need to be resolved OOC, or else they need to be wrapped up as a collab at the beginning of your next posts. However it is handled, everyone has moved forward to just at nightfall. If you are entering Avonshire, there are a lot of options as this is the closest thing to a city we have in the area. If you are still in Southmoor, stuff is more restrictive. However, one may always take the information gained and return to home base to ponder and plot for the next day. If you are coming up to the Vineyard/Southmoor for the first time (Looking at Aric here), you also have options. Try to find a place to stay the night in Southmoor, proceed to the Vineyard (and if you do, there's the difficulty of approaching the Estate House or getting sneaky and going for reconnaissance to get a lay of the land - though I will say that it is a touch more difficult at night, in freezing weather.

I suppose that Aric might be able to pick out the seven-foot-tall warrior woman in green plate and older style mail armor exiting Southmoor, if you all agree on the timing and such. Could be an opening to better introduction with the others. But do feel free to work out the details with those present, should you go that route. Or speak with me about NPCs doing NPC stuff to make stuff happen.

Otherwise, please be in touch for questions, concerns, and die rolls in our Discord, and best of luck to all parties involved. Huzzah.

Okay, we are updated. Things are mostly at a bit of a descriptive standstill, seeing as not a lot of time has passed from the end of the last update and the start of this one. If there are additional questions about the setting, do refer to the previous update's ambience or ask me a question. We're all good there. In any case, people have arrived where they're going to, and we'll move on from there without any major time skips for a while. The flow of events, for the most part, are in your hands.

You might notice a lean toward describing things in Avonshire. This is on purpose. It's been a while since we have been back that way and a refresher is necessary, otherwise this would have been a much shorter update. In any case, let's go with our usual bit about dropping me a line for questions, clarifications, die rolls, and the like in our Discord. And everyone have the spiffiest of posting cycles this time around.

@rivaan@Shoe Thief@Sigil@Arty Fox

Being as I am typing this in front of a screen I have already fallen asleep in front of twice, I shall be extremely brief. We're officially back to the posting rules for when we're down a player, because, well, we are now. Slot is open for people to apply. So far as the RP itself is doing, it looks pretty straightforward. No special conditions need to be met, some of us are Slice Of Life-ing it, which is cool. Some of us are rediscovering old locations with new twists, which is also cool. Just remember that we're building to something.

Also, remember that the Frostival holiday is swiftly coming upon everyone. Unrelated note, both sections of the party are very close to figuring out important stuff. Steady as she goes, ladies and gentlemen. Ride might get bumpy after a bit. Get with me in Discord if you have any questions, concerns, die rolls, etc. The same shtick as per usual. Good luck.
