Here is a copy of what I plan to put in Party Order to begin. Since I think this first post is extremely important and I want to be sure it is correct, I will wait for everyone to respond that it is what they want. Once we begin, I will probably post to party order in the mornings so as to give everyone the day before ample opportunity to log in and post their desires. If the GM appears in a hurry or otherwise anxious for an answer, I will post sooner and go with what responses I have and my best decision. If anyone has issue with that, please speak up and choose another leader. I HATE it when bad stuff happens because we don't post often enough in Party Order to please the GM.
*****************
Now for formation:
We will generally move in columns of two as follows:
Kron and Mud in front
Althea and Joe next
Daphne and Ice in the rear
When we go single file it would be Kron, Mud, Althea, Joe, Daphne and Ice.
Party leader is Ice
Kron is second leader
Who will negotiate for the party: Daphne
When in an open field what will be your formation: two columns side by side.
When in camp who will stay awake, 1st, 2nd, etc: We will stand watch in twos to avoid one person falling asleep. The order will be: Daphne with Mud, Althea with Kron, and Ice with Joe.
In a dangerous situation who will disarm traps: Althea
Who will react first to attack: This depends upon how the attack happens. From the front, Kron, from the rear Ice.
If the leader becomes inactive in the forum who will take over: Kron
How long does the leader have to be inactive on the forum before someone takes over: 24 hours.
*********************
The group tried unsuccessfully to find other adventurers and are anxious to begin. They have all agreed to go to gather what gear they will need and return back to meet as soon as they have acquired it. Their acquisitions will be as follows:
*Ice says to the group* Some of us have to totally resupply since our last mission, the rest of you should be sure to get whatever additional supplies you need. Return here as quickly as you can so that we can begin.

OCC: The only thing I would add is that I now have zero gold left. I don't know how important it is to keep bookeeping public in the games. I want to make it easier for the GM.
BTW, is there usually any sideplay between individuals and the GM, where the GM may tell an individual that something has happened to them that the rest of the party wouldn't necessarily know about?
Nighthawk, the GM will update party stats and show you as having no gold. At the beginning those stats will be up to date. Then we need to keep track of rations and arrows, etc., as we use them. Periodically, the GM will update party stats and tell us he has done so.
There is no interaction between the GM and party members outside of the scenario.
Everything looks fine to me except the way we post in party order what everyone is buying. Per the Party Order post, the GM would like us to post our purchases in the following manner:
Character Name:
1 sword
1 ration
GPs: (Balance)
Therefore for Kron, it will look like this:
Kron:
1 sword, long
1 bow, long
3 arrows
1 clothes
1 cloak
1 leather boots
1 leather armor
1 helmet
1 small shield
2 torches
2 flints
1 leather backpack
1 blanket
1 knife, fork, spoon, plate
10 dry rations
10 water skin
1 arrow holder
1 riding horse
1 saddle
1 saddle bag
1 saddle blanket
1 oats bag
5 oats
1 small sack
GPs:235 (Balance 15)
I think it is in our best interest not to aggravate the GM before the scenario even starts, so let's post it this way, especially since he asked for it in the first post.
That is fine. Everyone needs to make sure I know what their balance is. I will just edit out the gp for each item that has been listed.
