Mab: R'alle is right. We're still in the Stormcloak camp and it's less of a camp and more of a fortress. These guys have everything from a command tent to a hospital tent to a forge and a nice armory, including toys that Simus has forged and restored over the last few months. Also the command tent is in the center of the camp, just behind the mess tent. It's where all the intelligence is stored and the camp's center of adminstration. It also doubles as Simus' and Alice's quarters with room for guests.
The camp is a large, well guarded complex with over a hundred Stomrmcloaks in and around it and is completely enclosed with big sharp pointy wooden walls. Walls made from big trees that have been lashed together and made pointy at the tops so if anyone falls on them, thy would get skewered. There is a large tent devoted to cooking with several grills just outside under a tarp. That's where the cooks start out. They bring the food through the tent to a big table where the food is served. Between the table and the grills are benches and tables where people gather and eat. This big table in the back is where R'alle and Edwin got pranked by the cook who fed them prison food.
Between the mess tent and the gate is a martialing grounds where everyone can get into formation to be addressed. This is also where the Stormcload colors are hoisted on a big flagpole. If you're facing the mess tent, the gate is behind you, the medical tent is to your left, the forge, grindstone and workbench are to your right. There's also a big tent that serves as an armory with lots of weapons and armor. A room in the back has a lot of specialty items that you have to ask Simus for. He will let you guys in there before we leave.
In between these points are five by two blocks of tents. Sevreral of these blocks are spaced throughout the camp and each has a lit campire. Alice, Winter and Lilume are at one of these fires now. Each fire has four benches around it. The tents hold two people and are large enough to encompass two bedrolls on a raised bedframe and a thin bed of straw. These are where the men sleep. You guys will be sleeping in the command tent, which has a room with a row of beds on one wall and a row of dressers on the opposite. These beds are where officers and guests sleep and are nicer (think of the beds at the College of Winterhold). Simus and Alice have their own room because they're in command and are therefore special.
Serious and Jeroo: Your posts were good. A nice plot twist for Jeroo, a well-written and colorful description by Serious. Problem: this camp is walled in and well patrolled, especially at night. There is one gate into the camp and it has to be pushed open from the inside. Anyone outside is just tugging on hundred pound logs. So, how did the vampire assassin and now Orition just wander in without being seen?
Also, we're in The Reach and I don't think it snows a lot in western Skyrim. It's just really cold. So I don't think we'd encounter deep snow. Plus, I said in an earlier post that it was a cloudy night with a new moon, so Jeroo wouldn't have a nice moon and stars to relax in.
I'm not yelling at or chiding anyone. I'm just being crystal clear as to what this camp looks like. I suggest you guys look back at your posts and edit what needs to be edited. Thank you.
And nice to meet you Serious
I'm Simus. Sorry if I sound like a nit picker, you just got me at a bad time. And The Dark Knight was awesome by the way
