The Sacrifice Camp (OOC)

I think it would be more fun, narratively, to have Lady join us and get to know more about her. I like Theo, but his dynamic would be very similar to what Daryl is already.
So my vote goes to that.

Lady was not with us. But maybe she followed?

Not sure what you mean, Airshark. Lady stayed with Albert and Theo.

Albert is not with the group either.

We will resolve Lady's answer to Albert's question once the others have acted and we see what is happening at the camp.

Hmm ok. In my mind something different happened ?

Is the fighting party still there to hear Lady's answers?
Could be interesting both ways.

No, Albert waited till everyone else headed off before doing his thing.

Albert can bring you guys the answer, but we first need to see what you are doing and what you discover at the camp.

How is 'the fighting party' approaching the camp?

I was waiting to post until I knew the timing of the events.

That happens. :)

Everyone waiting for everyone else. :)

---

Albert's whole process did not seem fast or rushed 'Ignoring the woman's words for now, he tries to tend to Theo's needs first.', for instance, so the party will have had time to get to and view the camp before he gets his answers (they will depend on what is happening and what is relevant so we don't both learn the same thing), then it will take a similar time for Albert to get to the party... unless the action has started and he can run right there.

I have assumed you are able to make it close enough to the camp to get an overview of what is going on. If you want to know more than just what you would see, you will need to roll to decipher the details.

Knives are not out, but you don't currently know if she will just be draped over the altar and killed in moments or if they will first do a ceremony.

There may be weapons --they did stab Theo-- but they are still just women, right?

We know better than to underestimate women ?.

I'll give Palemantle some time to react.

Well, good. I am glad my hint was not ignored. :)
They have not been on in over 5 days, maybe don't wait too long for them?

Norbert (and the dog) are with you too. You also have Daryl and Limpy as NPC help if you want to engage with them.

Norbert is ready but waiting for a move from roald.

Given that your target is in the center of a circle of women who are looking --mostly-- inwards, you will definitely need a distraction.
Possibly, but it will heavily depend on the situation after the others make the distraction.

If you want the NPCs to take care of the distraction let me know, you will have less control --hidden Die of Fate-- but that frees up both PCs present to directly engage.

That's correct. Albert will make sure Theo is doing well enough and then join the others. Hopefully with some extra info from Lady.
Works for me :)

Hopefully I made it clear enough with Theo being able to drink on his own that he is doing well enough to be left for a while.

Yes, you did that well :D
Albert is confident that he'll be alright now.

I'm not sure whether to take Lady with me or not, though. That would leave Theo alone, right? I don't think that's a good idea.

Lady is currently all fired up with Raynor's vim and vigour, she may object to being made to babysit. She wants to go and right a wrong and take on the witches.
That would leave him alone, yes.

It is hard to know what the 'witches' will do if they find the cage empty, or if they stumble upon him out in the open.

You could try to hide him? Or say the place you settled was already a bit hidden?

That may be the best way indeed. I'm not sure what time of day it is (I never am) But if it is dark or twilight, that would help.
If there is a large bonfire of something alike that would make it harder for them to see the edge of the clearing.

I can do that. Just give me the word.
Midday.

I means, seriously, what self-respecting cult does a sacrifice at midday!? :)
Afraid not. I can try have them all look in the opposite direction. That is probably the best we can do.

Word!

(Did you hear about that certain word? It's about one of the avian species)
