There will not be an event in the Bandit territory tonight. We are still in the planning stages.

Also please note - as Algernon's Ghost will not be available this evening - the following:
From now until the end of this part of the story (when the bandit's home base is assaulted), I need everyone to stay out of the following areas unless a DM is specifically working with you.

Mhyrrwood's East Fringe - South
Mhyrrwood's East Fringe - Jorin's Glen
The higher ground above the road in River Vesper Road - Arlan's Crossing
Feel free to group and plan - just keep yer butts outta Bandit territory until AG is back here to torment - I mean entertain - you all.

I think we're looking beyond the doodle thing you posted. This is a major assault against the bandits, one that (if successful) will wipe them out and eliminate the Mhyrrwood Bandits permanently. It's a server-landscape changing event much like the total destruction of the Triad Temple by the bandits.
The people of River Vesper Landing are holding their breath waiting for the other shoe to drop. There is a general feeling of apprehension and fear in the town, and whispers of citizens hoping a group of heroes will emerge to root out the bandits for good.
We'll need to start early enough, and have enough time to get this done, so other than early Friday evenings, it's not a weekday event. Sunday afternoons/evenings work for me, and Friday evenings could work as well. Focusing on those times, what does everyone else's availability look like?

Also, we're not talking this coming weekend. I think there are some things that need to happen IC between most or all of the characters planning to be part of this. I haven't seen much in the way of deep IC planning, which is needed before a major attack on an enemy stronghold.

By that I mean strategy and stock-taking: Who is going? What roles will people play in the party? Who's been into the bandit vale in the past, and what is the lay of the land? For spell casters, this is doubly important as they'll need to know what spells to prepare, and others members will need to know when not to be in their line of fire and listen to them when they say to stay back. Does each member have enough healing potions? Do not rely on the "healers" in a group to come to your rescue if you're getting whomped (maybe they've prepared more offensive spells); have those potions ready and assume you'll need to use them. I can't imagine anyone will want to go along if this looks like it will turn into a clusterfu$#, so good planning is needed.

This will not be a simple scout. The bandits must be dealt with one and for all.

Possible roster so far:
Matyas
Julisette
Mordachi
Caine?
Lucias?
Dyer possibly for part of the event?

Please speak up here if you're interested in joining so we can all figure this out.

Thanks for the update AG. Very helpful as we think about this.

I'm going to keep the Doodle poll to help coordinate schedules for planning over the next week. If your PC is (or will be interested), please fill it out so I can target 1-2 days for some meetings/RP

Thanks.

Also - for me, it depends on the days. I can do some Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. I may be able to do next weekend and the weekend of October 5th. I cannot do October 12th weekend or the one after.

Quinn is very interested in dealing with the bandits . My availability is pretty random at the moment. My new work schedule comes out on a weekly basis so I won't know what days will work best till the new schedule drops. Lately I've been working week day evenings till about 10 central. If adate can be posted up I can see if I can arrange my schedule around it.

Bop is interested. He was hounded by the bandits on the road recently and is worried about what they are up to. Weekends are best for me, especially for long events. I can do week nights also, but can't be up real late (EST).

Hey Guys,

Life is kind of crazy right now but I am going to do my best to try and make this. Friday afternoon through saturday morning or sunday early afternoon through late evening would probably work best for me also.

the weekend of the 12th is out for me, though

Atra - Thanks for the update. Sorry for not scheduling a meeting yet - didn't get much pick-up on the poll. I have been online the last couple of days RPing with folks there. Tonight I'm not sure I'll be online...probably wouldn't be before 10.30/11 PM ET.

Should be about some this weekend too.

Quick update on availability, It looks like this sunday (10/6/13) I will not be available and the weekend following (10/11/13 - 10/13/13) I will also not be available.

Anytime other than that I will do my best to be there.
