Out of Character: The leader thread is really for the actions that the Dungeon Master needs to move the game along. Extended role-play can be many posts not containing actions just role-play and it would take the Dungeon Master a long time to decipher what we actually wanted our characters to do.
Out of Character: Thanks for answering Krusten. Now that the party is growing do we want to start using this thread again and appoint someone as a leader or do we merely use both threads?
Out of Character: It's not a strict rule. The leader thread is what KNtoran reads so that's where you post actions when your character is alone. At the moment Zork has bumped into Avan so we can use this thread to talk in character.
In Character: After a long silence the dark robed figure replies, "You hailed me, are you waiting for me to talk?"
In Character: "Not waiting, wondering... Wondering who you are and what you are doing here. It a rather secluded place for a man in hooded attire to be with what seems to be a friend in a black cat?"
"Mister Fluffles," He answers, "...is more than just a cat. He is tougher than normal cats and he has saved me."
"For now I am wandering the forest, the seclusion was intended. My name is Avan. I could ask the same questions of you."
