It's your post in Friend In Need, and not sure if you still wanted Ruthric to train you, but look up Designated Training Threads when you're ready. These are not all mandatory, but participation in at least one current thread is required. I think they'll suit your preferences nicely.
It's your turn in Marsh Haunt, and I think you should just post in 1 to observe. Syn doesn't need to post, it's pretty much just us until we try to contact her... Unless you just want to end it...?
