I am bringing:
Droene Kavarra

Army Units:
2 Regulars
1 Archer
1 Outrider
1 Scout
2 Skirmishers

I'll probably be doing some stuff in Mhoried to keep the HA safe.

Strictly OoC:

Before Wallac turns up to meet the Patriarch of Elinie & Co I really would like to know what way if any his 4 units have taken; if the 4 units are present. I've posted a little silly dump question in Q & A section to be found here:

http://roe.twilightpeaks.net/forum/index.php?topic=1086.0

Please feel free to post a reply and enlight me. The Pontiff supposedly took his 4 units from Ghoried (a nothern province in Roesone south-east of the Spider Fell) to Fairfield. From there how to reach Ansien is a question to Wallac. He would like to go north through the lands of the Swordmage to go with her (and possible army units from Roesone since she is the wife of the Baron of Roesone now fighting for Avan in the West). Before leaving the last areas with IHH temple holdings Wallac would like to boost his units with two realmmagic spells to improve their slim chance of survival a little.

IHH attempt to bring:

Regent (Wallac Isilviere), pure cleric, Major BS
Lieutenant (Saraene Bellamie), pure cleric but 1 lvl of nobel, Minor BS
Personal assistant (Rogal Destar), pure cleric but 1 lvl of rogue, unblooded
Lannelah Lachlan (Henchman), exact levels not known but 10+ and mostly Eldritch Knight Unblooded

2 Units Crack Armsmen Mounted
2 Units Crack Dragoons Mounted

Will likely cast following realm magic spells before leaving Roesone and can burn the regency needed to cast it on 5 other units as well if they meet IHH's units before they leave Roesone (if Roesone units go with us to Ansien they should be the obvious targets for those spells)

The 2 spell will last for rest of season unless dispelled actively:
2nd lvl Aid the Righteous
3rd lvl Vestment of the Gods

Besides the Swordmage will cast a realmmagic spell of her own on the units from IHH; Weapons of Steel and Murder (giving +2 magic weapons on the units). Before Wallac knew that he made arrangements (or rather an attempt) to get the dwarfs of the Royal Guild to equip his units with silver weapons. I dont know if any of the units will get the silver weapons though it would not really matter with the +2 from SM. I like it fluff wise though and besides Wallac did not know back when he made the arrangements so the GB's should like get burned anyway (Your call though Bjørn)

EDIT 1:
As suggested by Alexander:
Ghoried (0) - Bheline (1) - Rhumannen (2) - Tornilen (1) - Conallier (1) - Thoralinar (2) - Chalsedon (1) - Ansien (1)
With a bit of delay due to dispatch service being oh soooo sloow end in Bheline in VM 4 IHH realmmagic x 2? Then in Cornallier in VM 5 (assuming Bheline VM 5 etc), get some SM realmmagic and follow together with the SM units to Ansien in VM 6 (again assuming Bheline in VM 4)

Alright folks, what I am bringing so far...

Tornilen Troops
1 Armsmen
2 Regulars
2 Archers
2 Scouts
1 Surprise!

Roesonian Troops
1 Knights
1 Armsmen

However, I am pulling some extra units forth from... somewhere else.

It looks like we will be arriving in Ansien in WM 7.

I am of course bringing the Swordmage (ECL 12-ish) and Commander Gaerik Bellerran (ECL 4).

The route should be:
Ghoried - Bheline - Rhumannen - Tornilen (WM5) - Thoralinar (WM6) - Chalsedon - Ansien (WM7). The spellcasting takes place in Bheline and Thoralinar.

The silver will be handy once the badguys dispel the enchantment spells.  >:(

I'd think so, yeah. I guess it's a bit different when armies are on the move, than just characters - suddenly there's weeks of marching and careful coordinating before everyone is in Ansien at the same time and ready to talk.

Truth be told that also assumes a rather passive enemy - something I've yet to see in RoE...

Yes I concur and exactly why Wallac moving with his units had yet to arrive to Ansien and talk to the other regents - even though he moved out as soon as possible for him

Yes. You started getting into detail regarding what units arrived where and when. Had it just been you regent and supporting cast, no problem, but when armies are involved I'd rather do it in the correct order.

Makes sense, I've got myself confused of late when it was just regents.

Marshal Edwin Balter will arrive sometime fairly early on with a handful of men, ready to do battle in the Shadow World. Balter will probably be a little confused by the absence of the anyone else from the Aegis but assume that the troops will turn up soon...

So, how do we get it back on track? If we leave off all the planning until we reach warmove 7-8 then we are going to be pressed for time to finish planning before the turn deadline.

Perhaps if we go back to the thread, everyone edits out their armies and whatnot and we let it represent an early council - where we decide what to do. I have a hard time imagining my regent, or anyone else's, coming to Elinie and staying there for two months until we actually start. Regent are busy people - a council at the beginning of the year, followed by a last council in Ansien near the Eve of the Dead, makes sense.

Works fine for me... But other events are also moving fast. I have received word that someone is invading someone else, which is most certainly not what they are supposed to be doing.

So, I think maybe someone is not someone, but rather the same someone else that we are worried might not remain passive.

Should I assume my units remain in Ghoried for now since I've received no word they are moving out yet? My intend is to change status from garrison (as nasty mistake by me not having realized that rules now says it take long time to do!), then move them to Bheline and cast a 2nd and a 3rd level realm magic spell, then continue onwards

I have no plans for completing the adventure before the DO is handed in. It will be resolved after.
