The Two Barons (OOC)

Norbert was asking about the other pc’s. He is not looking for trouble, but this was a very weird episode and they look like the leaders.Norbert was trying to be quiet, Phil might not be. I am ok with being overheard.

Does it help if I remove the part of Albert trying to change the subject? He could ask the same thing without having heard all of that. It would not change what was said.
Either way if fine by me.

Phil was not trying to be quiet. So we can say that Albert hears Phil's meltdown and rushes over. That way Norbert does not 'look like a fool'.

I didn't realize I was making Norbert look like a fool with my post.
I edited it to make it a coincidence.

Also, if you (Fossball) wish to say more to Phil before Albert arrives, feel free to. Just add 'Before Albert arrives...' to your next post. If I remember correctly, from vagueGM's tips, posts don't always have to be chronological.

We know you did not mean any harm. Everything looks good now, I think.

Great! :)

What time is it? Maybe we can try to spend the night at Christian's and try to figure out more.
If I remember correctly we had to hurry a bit to get to the Baron before dark. (or was it there and back again?)

You could still make it back to the village before dark, but would have to make haste.

Crashing at Christian's could be interesting and might probably yield more information and I suppose he would not object to housing the heroes for a night.

I'm still not sure on how to accomplish our mission. The initial idea was to talk to the baron. But I guess that ship has sailed.
Or we could go back if the baron returns and try to spin the story.

The next thing Roald will ask is where (or how) he or Olaf gets his orders from.

If you choose to stay with Christian you will have time to approach that question in more depth tonight. Else you can ask now and get a less detailed answer.

Let's hear from the others first.

Would Norbert be welcome there? I think he could sleep in the fields tonight, but it would be weird for him to sleep with Christian. And where would Theo and friends go?

I assume anyone the heroes say is part of their group would be 'welcome' ... enough.
If you, as a player, want that to happen we can say they only want to offer 'beds' to the official heroes. But that does separate the party for a longish time so we will need to work to fill both story-paths equally (which is fine (until the end when timing can get messy:)).
How so? Is there history between these families? Does he know who you are?

Again, it is up to you if there is, and whether that means you have to sleep elsewhere, or whether that adds drama to your stay at Christian's.
If you have to sleep elsewhere then that may be interesting and we will address that, else they will go with the group.

Ok, Norbert will just sleep where the group does. Thankyou.
I don’t think there is a need for extra drama.

Is there anything anyone wants to do before getting/going to Olaf's? [ref]

Is there anything you want to do before Olaf gets back home?

I don't.

I'm fine.

I can't do that. I did not see this coming until I wrote it. If you had had more success (is that the right word? I don't think it is.) at the baron's then we would be on a completely different track.
If we can call it that. I am just reacting to what the players do, and moving the world forward in a way that, hopefully, 'makes sense' (which is a tall order when the theme is that nothing is making sense). :)

I love it. However it came to life.
