         [Recap]

            From Varo: [Re: Actions]
                 Sorry, Scott, but your #14 
update did not appear in my email until today. 
idk what happened or is happening. If have till 
next week, I'll get to it within a couple days; 
if you want it faster - never mind - it's already 
Thursday, oh dear - lol - might try Saturday to 
get it done. Have to re-read a couple back since now a choice ;)
            GM: Ack.  OH I misread this.  So it 
never got to you till days later? Last update got 
to me immediately so don't think its the mailing 
list  It must be some odd delay with your 
isp.  May have to contact if it continues.  Sorry.

            From Bess: [Re: Actions]
                 Sorry Scott - what grumpy old 
man? I've gone back as far as update #11 & can't 
find him. Which update was he presented? I can't 
decide until I find it. (altho Varo is leaning 
toward seeing what's happening in the village)
            GM: Ack. Sorry!  IT is Veren who 
hired you guys.  He is grumpy and older than all 
of you basically.  I believe I mentioned his age 
in a early post.  He's more grumpy cause this 
side trip may take time away from his goal. :)

            From Rocky: [Re: Kid]
                 Hearing the kids story Rocky 
asks "So, da ve trust da kid, play 

            GM: Ack.  I assume said quietly as 
not to be heard by kid if in tradetalk or diff 
language.  Probably best to ask couple updates 
ago but good as ever to ask now. :)

            From Mournath: [Re: Actions]
                 I keep missing the updates it 
seems. Here's the things Mournath will have been doing to catch up.

                 [IC] After having to slit his 
one good set of leathers, Mournath cuts a strip 
from his horse-blanket and some leather cordage 
from one of his packs to cover and wrap his 
exposed leg with.  After hearing the young man's 
pleas, Mournath is interested in helping the 
plight of his town, but does not condone just 
wandering into a position where several trolls 
might be about. [Dialogue to party] I'm for 
helping this young man, but perhaps we should 
scout the town first?  If we come around a flank 
instead of using the main road, perhaps we can 
get a better view of what is going on inside?
            GM: Ack.  Sorry on the missing 
posts.  I did post on it suggestions.

            From Wout: [Re: in email not post]
                 "Marusk, you want help this boy 
see his sister? To the shack?" Razgor hefts 


                 [Razgor votes to help the boy and go to the shack.]
             GM: Ack.

         [New Stuff]

         [Windsday, Fertility week, Storm Season, 1625, Genertela, Glorantha]

         [Time: 9:50 am]

            Hearing the kids story Rocky asks, 
"So, da ve trust da kid, play heroes n hunt down 
n kill er capture da trolls? What da ya dink boss?"

            Razgar comments his views as quietly as possible.

            “I'm for helping this young man, but 
perhaps we should scout the town first?  If we 
come around a flank instead of using the main 
road, perhaps we can get a better view of what is going on inside?”

            "Marusk, you want help this boy see 
his sister? To the shack?" Razgor hefts his pike 
and shifts his pack on his back, stepping in step 
with the boy for a few strides.

            Veren grumbles, “as long as we don't 
get so side tracked.  Razgar and Juno can scout 
the village with the kid.  Report back what you find.”


            Juno suggests he and Varo take boy ahead and scout out the town.
            Marusk nods, “no roads around here 
for a few days ride.  People in this area are 
essentially honest and honorable.  Like those 
hunters you guys clearly were wary of them and 
they were fine.  I do say we should scout the 
town first to ensure no reinforcements arrive at the shack.”
            Juno glances to Varo who is next to 
the kid.  Another male assuming a female can't be in danger.
            Jaren leans over to Veren, “kid clearly seems to like Varo.”
           Veren shrugs, “Fine.  Varo and Juno 
and kid.  Kid how far to your village you'd said 
it was just over there three times.  Where is the shack compared to your town?”

            The boy leans to Varo's horse not 
liking the older man, “About a mile I'm positive 
that way.  Once you get there the shack is about 
3 quarters of a mile west of it.”
            Veren waves to Varo and Juno to go 
ahead.  “Lets wait here and cover a perimeter.”
            Varo lifts the boy onto her horse and 
sets off.  Juno follows on his horse but both 
move slow not to attract attention by the horse movement.
            About 10 minutes later they reach a 
edge of a clearing.  They dismount all the while 
scanning left and right for enemies.  Ahead about 
300 feet in a clearing are a dozen or so buildings.
            Boy points, “our village is 
small.  Only 8 homes.  Give on this side (left) 
and 3 on that side of the path.  The middle one 
on that side (right) is the town storehouse.  We 
have no fancy hotel or shoe shop just the 7 homes 
and community general shop slash storehouse.  The 
village has maybe 45.  Some may be off to hunt or 
gather food.  That way,” he points to the right 
and north east with village being due north, “is 
a small farm with 12.  They grow all the food we 
generally need.  I do not know if the trolls went 
there or not  When they came into town they 
entered a few homes and stole food.  They 
ransacked a bit destroying dishes or such but 
seemed to be more looking for food than 
valuables.  Me and my sister were in town and 
they grabbed her and went to the shack.  They 
must've knew it was there.  There are two other 
cabins in area some distance away maybe a mile or 
two but no idea if they got there.  The 

.people...so called friends...they were powered 
and scared.  Would not help defend the 
place...”  Juno figures the boy meant cowered.
            He continues and frowns, “no one is 
outside.” Indeed the homes seem to be all 
shuttered with closed doors and windows.  “Even 
Fuj the dog is not barking.  All hiding!”
            The village has a small stone water pool/hole and water well.”
            No sign of trolls or humans.  From 
here the forest is about 80-90 feet to south most 
home.  To east its about 100 feet.  To west about 
60 feet.  But to north its hard to tell but 
probably 70-80 feet from northern most home to forest in north.
            Juno then notices there are no horses 
as well.  He asks the boy.  “oh yeah!....there 
are maybe half a dozen...there is no barn...where 
are they?  The trolls take to the shack?  Wait..trolls eat horses?”
            Varo looks to Juno.  To decide next step.
            Back at the party 2 minutes after the 
scouts left Verne looks to Razgar.  “You and 
Marusk want to scout the shack or wait for the others?”
            Marusk shrugs, “horses are noisy 
trolls might hear them.  If we do might be best 
on foot. But we don't know if the scouts may go find the shack.”
         GM: Actions? Comments?

             Next Update...Mon/Tue?


         GM:  I could do a small update Sat based 
on posts. But this is a small update. I was going 
to move folks to shack.  But with email and Dms 
things shifted.  Still waiting for votes on 
healing. ;) As to Spam should I change my subject 
line?  Maybe that may fix your issues? Did the 
whitelisting help?  Btw the map has been updated 
on site showing how far north you have gone in 
forest no roads.  The village is simple so a low level map is fine:

*   * - homes
*
*   s - storehouse
*
*   *

     Each home is separated but at this angle 
can't tell how far.  Each home is simple wooden 
log cabin style.  Grass/thatch/log 
roofs.  Probably max of 2 if fancy maybe 3 rooms 
and looks to be 50x50 each.  Fairly large clan 
style homes.  With 1 door and at least 1 window 
each side wall all closed.  Space between left 
column of homes and right is about 50 feet.


         GM: Healing Votes: [Deadline 1/15]

                 RQ6 – Varo, Juno.Solace
                 No vote/Doesn’t matter - Wout.Broere

         GM: 130 Miles out – personal note for me.
