OOC: I'm basically using this scene to determine the next Quests. So far the options are:

1) Follow the the 200 Granit Clan Soldiers to Pinekeep, and help find whatever or whoever is causing Chaos in the Three Peaks

2)Head WEST to the Lowlands, and help the Rock Gnomes and Hill Dwarves of the Resistance. 

I'm also open to other suggestions. 

I assume Team1 and Team2 want to keep the same "rosters", but if ever you wanted to switch teams, now would be a good time...

OOC: And we are all going with the army - both (or all 3) teams will be combined, right?

OOC: Rosri would prefer to head out with team 2 and rather not going with the army. Though it would be great opportunity to pickpocket for gold ^^. Buuuut then Zyman says he want to go both west and east :O so we need to sort that out.

Team 3 has been given a secret mission from Gavin to find a Mysterious and elusive new criminal King Pin known as "the Gingerbread Man". 

If Team 1 and 2 both end up following the Soldiers, then yes they will be combined.

But again, this is a "Sandbox" Game. It's all about Player Choices, and a Player driven story. So if you guys really want, then ALL 3 teams could possibly pow wow together to see who would want to go on what Quest, and possibly rearrange the Teams based on that....Who wants to do that? I'll put it to a vote

 OOC: I think Edeleth would be easily convinced to go on the private mission to the west. Crowds are very much not his favorite thing, but he is now determined to make the Six Clans area Safe For Trees. Also, as much fun as it would be to adventure with Team 1 and possibly Team 3, we seem to have enough trouble getting all 5 of us posting regularly, and if we end up waiting for 10 (or 15!!!) people to weigh in on every event or combat round, I am afraid the game will slow to a crawl.

[[OOC]] I can't speak for everyone, but I'd like to keep Team 2 together. I'm kinda lost about which mission Grunda would want to follow though.

I personally would like to keep all Teams separate, to make it more playable. Even if Team1 and 2 go with the Soldiers, I will eventually split them (no spoilers...).

But I like to give Players options, and the opportunity to come up with their own Quests. I hadn't originally thought about sending Players to the West and the Drow Occupation, but that is an interesting concept, with tons of great potential. So if that is something Team2 is adamant about doing, then I'm game. Just keep in mind that you will most likely be far away from the Hanging Chicken and the Three Peaks for a long time...

 OOC: (cough) Um, yeah, I could have mentioned that I love my teammates and have no interest in switching around. We are a well balanced party, I think, with an entertaining and diverse bunch of characters, and I like the relationships that are forming. (And when/if Edeleth meets Torment, I think he may want Grunda around to hide behind. XD )

 OOC: I second that and Ever since Grunda joind us, Rosri has secretly wanting to snipe from her shoulders xD

(I agree that the teams should stay as they are)

(OOC I think that sounds great too. )

Uther stands somewhat taller as he is addressed by Haræd Hammerthorn. He balls his hand into a fist and brings it to his chest with a feint thud "It is my pleasure to serve." 

Alright. Does everyone agree with the following "assignment":

Team1 will follow the Granit Clan Soldiers, to help secure the Lands around the City of the 3 Peaks.

Team2 Will go on a journey to the West, through Mastandia, the Westwoods and the Bolgen Hills to find and aid the Resistance against the Drow occupation.

Team3 will go "black ops", and investigate the Gingerbread Man and his network inside the City.

(I'm on board with this plan. *thumbs up*)

(I was already sold on the Team 3 Cookie Boy, let's do this)

Let s do it! It will be magical!

With so many soldiers around, maybe I can learn to use this sword a little better. 
Peshley thought about the opportunity ahead and how, even 2 months ago she had no clue what she was really going to do with herself. 

Looks like Team1 is indeed following the Granit Clan Soldiers.

Team 2 is still in negotiation! :D

Zyman looks as his companions and at the Jarl, shifting uncomfortably. Even as his companions were seen for their good deeds, his actions threw up questions, and any mistake that would end up getting people killed would likely be his end too... he was on borrowed time, and would have to prove his usefulness to the king, if he wanted to continue his studies in peace here. This was no time to follow his own curiosity.

"If your Majesty allow, my companions are indeed very individualistic in nature, but any plans we may have made not knowing the full picture of the threat facing these lands could of course be placed on hold. I belive that with my... gifts... I might be able to do something about the plague, or I'd at least be able to study it to develop cures for future dwellings. I understand that I might not seem the most trustworthy of arcane masters, but I'm fully ready to lend my abilities to support the people of this realm. I am however less willing to use its more... destructive... side in service of your armies, not least because it would put your soldiers unneccesarily at risk. My companion is not wrong when he spoke of the ill-fit that our group's talents and operating procedures are when compared to your structured, organised, but less arcane armies. If you could see a role as I have described, then my services are at your disposal, and any riches or titles should gladly be used to settle the refugees and feed the war's orphans."
