Please remember that by the time the Bregos cross the river, the incident with the cougar will all be done. (The Wulfham's first day is 3 days game-time before the Brego's first day)
So - by the time the Brego's cross the river, the Wulfham group will be on its way again. And we will be about 45 miles in front (further south down the river) of your group by then.
I doubt that Fionn will be able to scout us out at that point.
Once the Bregos cross the river and begin going south (and I expect this to be done by this coming Sunday), I have something which will slow the Wulfham group down again, without loss of blood
.
At that point the Bregos can come upon the Wulfhamers.
For right now - please start your reactions to finding yet another person has joined your group. Do you welcome the addition. Did you even like the fact that Raedwald showed up? What do you think about the council sending a babysitter for you - are you a little relieved . . . or peeved that they thought you couldn't come up with solutions on your own?
There should be a discussion of who will lead the group now and how will they lead. How is Osmod feeling about all this - relieved? And what about Eostre and Fionn? Undome hasn't voiced her opinion out loud, but I noted she's given Osmod an appraising look, wondering how he's taking this all in since he had started out as their group's leader.
Can you get all that going on the game thread, please . . .
