If we haven't heard from Muse or Avorae, and if Vholdran is a more of a 'support' character, that brings us still down to 7 people. This means we either do a group of 4 and a group of 3 -- or we split it further into 3, 2, 2. I'm fine with either, and I think at this point -- the best move is just for Zaer to tell us what the team parties sizes will be. Then we can work out who is with whom.<br/><br/>As for the proposed two groups -- sending one group to scout and one group to deal with corpses at the castle is fine by me. Methu has no use for corpses, hopefully some others don't, and they can come with him. Anybody with a use for corpses can stick around and be part of that discussion/plan for divvying that up. This does still bring us back to the start of: we can't really scout without even a base idea of what we're walking into. Whether it's common IC knowledge or info from Vholdran -- all I could write is "Methu goes to that place". Maybe I'm especially naive OOC, but I don't even know what sort of building this is (like general shape, size, or -- hell -- what material it's made of) that we're walking to.<br/><br/>We've been spinning our wheels with this discussion -- I would highly recommend Zaer just creates a poll, people can select which team they're a part of. If there's too many in one team, Zaer makes the executive decision of who goes where. Then, a description of what each team is walking up to so that they have the information they need to make any sort of plan or decision. After scouting, we can make plans for what the teams will do, and decide who is on which team (respecting the spread established earlier).<br/><br/>If we want to use Vholdran as a way of giving us that baseline information -- 24 hours is not a big deal. Unless somebody has a serious concern that needs immediate consideration -- we can just set the scene with saying "24 hours pass, and Vholdran calls them in with this update..." Frankly, I'd be surprised that Vholdran doesn't already have Divination spells memorized, but I guess I don't know how many he's used in this current scene. Either way -- I think we'd be all willing to suspend disbelief on a GM-Support-NPC having the spells required just to push the story forward.<br/><br/>If I'm wrong -- please just outline what we need to continue forward. I'm clearly not understanding what's needed to take the next step, so perhaps I'm in need of some hand-holding. This is also not a time/speed concern -- RL is a thing and should always come first. I'm just saying whenever our GM CAN respond, please give us a concrete next step or next build up. We need some executive decision to cut through us talking in circles.
