Well then, guess I've got entries from the players that are still with me. I've been doing some behind the scenes work as you may have guessed, but I should be able to post soon, tomorrow at latest.

And back I am. Exhausted, certainly, and may need a while for that to wear off, but I'm once more here to read and even write!

Should have been writing posts. Took part in D&D shenaniganry instead. Got to fix that tomorrow.

There's a lot of backlog here on my end. I'm trying my best to lessen it, but replies might be less frequent for a time. A welcome change from the nothing doing I went through though! Thanks partners!
Bio
I suppose it is about time for me to copypaste fill in some information about myself over here just as well. Only took me a few years to getting around to do it.
I am a married individual in my twenties from the country some people dare claim does not exist. The Finland conspiracy is an old joke, you can stop with it now. Not a native speaker of the English language by any means, though I did begin studying it exceptionally early for our country's standards. I suppose it was some sort of a test case. With that out of the way though, what more should I be saying here...
Thanks for stopping by I suppose! I do also have a Discord account, but I prefer to start anything RP related on the site. At least with people I don't know from the past, that is! But hey, now if you are a longer time contact of mine and happened to read this, now you know and can ask!

- I like being nice to people. If one needs to ask why, well that alone is reason enough.
- I play and Dungeon Master Dungeons and Dragons, both offline and in the past also over here.
- I enjoy OOC chatter, be it planning the RP or a more casual exchange (not that RP'ing is that serious). I can make do without, but don't be afraid to talk to me.
- Whatever the case, I'm here to have fun and hone my writing abilities!

Alright, if that is what you will. Would you consider rerolling another character is something I would like to ask though. So, would you, or shall I start looking for a new player?

Hey, if you want to wait until the meeting is over, you can wait. I... no, we just needed to know if that was your approach so that we could write our entries appropriately. If you'd rather wait, feel free to.

Looks like to me it would be @Ryonara, @Phoenix and @Raijinslayer whose posts have yet to show up.

Yup, it would seem so. Things have been a bit too slow for my liking... perhaps I should just have Nighthill assume their silence to be a sign of agreement to what the others have replied?

And now Nighthill has spoken. Will it be the call of glory, sense of duty or will to save people that sends you back into the fray? Or will someone give in to their common sense and propose to not do this? That is to be found out in the next... series of posts, really. This ain't a TV show.

As the governor heard the unfamiliar voices address him form behind his back, he let a small smile briefly visit his visage. As he turned around, it was already gone but some of his other features would be unlikely to be missed: The right side of his face and head in general was bandaged and his right arm hanged in a sling. Some splatters could be seen in his light blue tunic and assuming them to be his blood would probably not stray too far from the truth.
"So, you are the companions of this one Trear Oakfell, are you not?" the governor began, but then noticed the dwarf they had already talked with earlier. "Oh, and you too Hurrik. To be honest, this does not surprise me. Nevertheless, I do believe I should give an answer to your question, Parum." He sighed before continuing: "I wish we could do something about the dragon, but it is much too powerful for you to deal with. Many men have already died to it... I would be no leader to send troops on a suicide mission. No, what I have in mind for you is something more akin to what you have already been through. I would like to request you to temporarily step under my command and deal with threats that may present themselves outside of the keep."
He quickly glanced over the expressions of the group before him, before adding the last piece of information: "But first we will need to find a safe way out. If you were to accept, you would most likely have some time to rest before becoming the heroes this town needs at this hour." A concerned look crept onto the governor's face, amplifying the already showing age of the man. He could only wait for their hopefully positive response as his beloved Greenest stood beyond the walls of the keep, in flames.

I've been planning to make the call using your passive perception, but if you would rather use an active attempt, I see nothing wrong with that.

And there we go. Worry not @Raijinslayer and @Phoenix, your characters can pop in out of mere curiosity if they'd like, the way to battlements is not guarded by... anything really.
A soldier dressed in ringmail armour rushed in through the infirmary doorway, first in the long time to be uninjured themselves and not be carrying anyone else. The man stopped as soon as they could see well into the room and sprang into attention. They lifted a message they were carrying onto eye level, so that they could see it through the eyeslit of their helmet and coughed a few times. One of the keeps own infirmary workers sighed and shook their head in silence as the soldier's voice boomed in the room:
"Atteeeeeeeen-tion! As per orders of Governor Nighthill, the people that accompanied a certain Trear Oakfell into the keep, called Ashkar Brannor, Orchid and Parum, are to report onto the battlements to governor himself. Pass the message on and if it is of concern to you, do not keep the man waiting!" With that, the soldier folded the message and raised his hand into a salute. "Carry on your duties, healers", they added and left back on their merry way shouting their message across the keep.
"They just have to come by and harass the suffering, don't they..." the worker that had showed their dislike at the messenger's actions muttered under their breath and measured another length of bandage while shaking their head again. Some of the previously sleeping wounded had been awakened and added their own grunts of pain into the already death-heavy atmosphere of the room. Someone gestured towards Hurrik, the message being more or less "back to work or out of the way".
On the battlements, the governor stared towards the small light away from his dear town, the source of which had to be the caravan his new specialist had to have come from. The governor could only hope that their luck would be better than that of the guard of Greenest... and that with the help of this group Trear had come this far in that burning mess they could hold, even against the threat of the dragon in the sky. That was, if the group truly was made of heroes and wouldn't simply refuse and hide for their lives. He wouldn't blame them for that. But he dared hope.
