@Icefire: They need to take their injured in order for all of the characters to arrive there.

The rest will be explained in my opening post for the thread.

Do you think it would be a good idea to have someone come up to our characters and tell them the fight is over, Danflorreguba?

@Danflorreguba: So...... I haven't heard your opinion yet.

 Ok Round 4 is finally up! Sorry for delays... life has been crazy busy for me the last week or so. Anyway, details can be found in the opening posts I've made. Read both threads to get the full picture of what is going on.

These threads start the late morning after the fight.
The weather is humid and sunny. (uncomfortable)
Vermin and goodbeasts are in their own threads.
There are examples of "internal dialogue" in my opening posts. It's not a ton of dialogue and a lot of description and that will work fine for being judged.

Swords Info:
The injured were quickly moved to one area after the fight by those willing and able to help move them.
No tending has been done to any character yet, they were just moved up the shore away from the sea a little.
Tim took a major part in getting the moving done and sent Visefang dead out to sea.

BloodSpine:
Five boats took all remaining crew away from the coast in an escape effort. The rest of the crew not on the boats is dead.
They floated through the night and happened upon the island.
The island is called Kerric Isle. It is flat, about mid sized for an island, sandy, desolate, and had large groves of coconut trees.
The crew is stranded unless a ship happens to see them and wants to rescue them. Play as if they are preparing for a rather lengthy island get away.

Everything in these first two posts is negotiable. If it messes too much with your plans let me know and we will work it out. Remember, things like how your character got into the boat and ended up out at sea or what they did when they realized the fighting was over would fit great into your first post in this thread. It would be your character's thoughts.

Have fun you guys! Time for getting this round in will be about a week and a half, I have not completely decided yet.

Repost:

You will each be judged on three posts in the final round. These are the posts and how they will be judged:

Internal dialog: Basically writing your character's thoughts for an entire post. Can include flash backs, guilt, pain, joy, whatever your character would be thinking.

Judged on: Creativity, character development, and SPAG

Interaction with other characters: Basically your character interacting with other characters. Can be just one other if you decide on that. Could also be a small group. You guys can decide. (my characters that are still alive may be used in this if requested. i.e. Tim and Hooktail)

Judged on: Description, plot movement, and SPAG.

So, we don't need to find the wounded/unconscious or do we do it in flashback?
Living in peace, aye many a season,
Calm in life and sound in reason,,
'Til evil arrives, a wicked horde,
Driving a warrior to pick up his sword,
The challenger rings then, straight and fair,
Justice is with us, beware. Beware!

I might start my first post off with how Sculrig got himself out of the swamp and then he can find a way to get to the island. I wouldn't be able to get on the boats but if it's okay I will find another way to the island.

The post I've been working on requires that Nevfae hasn't been found. Mind if I add something about her wandering further than the rest of the swords in her fight?

BrookSkimmer

Yes, you guys can place your characters where ever you want. It could just be assumed that the gathering beasts didn't find them.

Oh, and the posts that are up are GREAT!!

  What is up with all of the Swords posts being so long?  I feel like when I post, it's gonna be some lame, two-to-three paragraph post that basically does nothing.  :P  Y'all are makin' me nervous here!  ;)

  EDIT:  Ugh, I hope that last post was okay.  I was being rushed to finish, so I didn't get to do all I wanted, but was that okay?

@Spera and Warrior: How do you two want to play this now? It appears Spera still needs finding, but the way the first post was set up I would guess that Sora was already found. I mean, who would leave their own comrade lying on a beach bleeding to death just to take care of an already dead enemy? So, my question is, Warrior, do you still want Liv to "find" Sora in a flashback and then later, Rain, go back in search of Spera? I await your replies.

@Rain: It would be implied at this point that any character not found right away was not seen for whatever reason. Tim wouldn't just leave beasts laying on the beach if he saw them. Just info to move things along here. :D

I start to read a good book and then this all starts! My jaw almost dropped out of my mouth when I saw you alls posts. My post will look idiotic and irrelevant, man you guys are good writers...says the guy that want's to write a book some day. Just think about all the wrong SPAG that would be in my post!

Well better get started.

  @Ice:  Uh, well, seeing as Tim is supposed to find all of us, (and I really need to move along with my posting (I had a huge amount more that was going to be me starting to walk/crawl back to the caves, find Liv (or vice versa) and travel back together, but it was EXCEEDINGLY late, so I had to get off)) I don't know how this is gonna work.  If it's alright with Brook, maybe I could still have Spera sorta stumble along and get found by Liv (or, once again, vice versa, maybe), then we find Sora and get found by Tim?  Sort of a little group of characters found?  I dunno, my brain isn't functioning too well, but that's my thought as to what could happen.

  @Brook:  Yeah, I was having trouble figuring out what time, where Spera was, etc., so I didn't exactly know how it was going to play out, plus, as previously stated, I did have a bunch more I was going to put, but I didn't have the time to write it, so that was kind of a fail.  :P
