So I took a look at the Group Book and your XP values seem off...I would strongly encourage you to appoint a bookkeeper for player info like Treasure and Experience Points.  Because no one has elected themselves that position and it's not a good idea to make that my job as well. Considering no one has volunteered previously out of your own little cabal I would urge you to discuss and chose a Bookkeeper now.  This isn't a soul binding "YOU SHALL DO THIS FOR ALL ETERNITY" type of deal, so don't stress it too hard.  Rotate out if you feel you need to or something, just get your important notes in order.

Also, DMs naughty list this year:
ZebraKoala: Your character sheet lacks a tactics section, please make one.  Also on Equipment, it says WEAPON not weapons, list only the current weapon in use.  You have equipment on your character sheet to store that information.  Same applies to everyone else your weapon listed there is the DEFAULT your use unless stated in the thread otherwise that is the one I expect you to wield and the source of the statistics I will use if I have to run your character during a turn.
Drex: The same goes for you.
Willa: Speed and Initiative entries remain unfilled on your character sheet.
Everyone: General housekeeping of the book and respective information.

Wait did I miss an update to the character sheet at some point?  The Template is quite different to mine.  If so, sorry >.<

@Willa: Oh I ain't roasting ya, I've updated the character sheet several times over the last few years.  I believe I did mention the updates here most of the time, though my memory may be mistaken.  Besides that I have made notes on your character sheet (see the little orange triangles or just click on the speech balloon in each tab to reveal them all) pertaining to questions about stuff on it.

Max informs me that "housekeeping" is  too unspecific, so let me iron that out more.  I mean take a look at the character sheet template and try to copy its style and layout.  That sheet has been made to be very easy to read and guide the eye around.

Zebra is currently experiencing an admin sad.

But I'll do some fiddling to fix the sheet up. Is the default weapon the only issue? Also... tactics? I have literally one tactic: hide behind Jubei and shoot the things. Template copying shall be done to reflect this.

Furthermore... This bookkeeping position. What does it entail? Because I'll happily do this job provided I have a quick rundown of what the service entails.

You probably did, but I must have missed the part/s about adding initiative and speed to the character sheet.

@Cebakaala: Take an example from Willa, a point by point, kinda AI scriptish writeup that should cover you in most tactical situations.

As for bookkeeping this would mean two things (at least in my mind).  The first, keeping the Experience Tracker in the Journal Section up to date.  Secondly making sure that the party wealth is kept up to date in the Equipment and Wealth section.

Well I'll see to that then. Has anyone updated our wealth and exp tallies for the last combat? I'd like to know before I do any fiddling.

Formal request to hold your posts until I take my turn. I'm going to buy us some time but I NEED to go first to do so.

Aside, Battlefield effects for monsters with auras are noted in the combat tracker beneath the enemies section.  Also the little white O's on the map are just my markers for where the enemies started.

@Ceba

Amare used an ability that allowed all allies in a burst 1 around his manifestation to spend a healing surge, regaining healing surge hp+6.

I don't see this listed in your post, so I just want to check that you didn't miss it.

@Willa

I totally missed that. Thanks! I'll make a quick edit to fix that, if the GM allows it.

Sorry had to redo my post, I made a mistake. Drex was immobilized.

@Cebakaala: Go ahead, I'll be updating later today, I was a bit too tired and drunk last night to update so you scored a chance to act differently.  A post is generally only considered final when the round updates.

@Willa: Remember this is a new encounter, so need a new initiative roll. Can't see if you made one.

Whoops.  Will update.  Thank you!

@Willa: Hey Craig, the version of Willa's Dire Radiance you are using is out of date, it was update a while back, check the Rules Update for the newer version or Wiki http://dnd4.wikia.com/wiki/Dire_radiance see also http://dnd4.wikia.com/wiki/Warlock_update

Update to the Campaign Book.  Added Token Box at the bottom of the Combat Map.

@Author,
sorry but it looks the same to me - what am I missing?

@Willa: It's waaaaaay at the bottom of the map tab. Past the battlefield effects and legend.

In reply to Phelan Drixos (msg # 148):

Thank you, but I mean the dire radiance change, sorry again >.>

Oh, basically it's Charisma or Con to attack. I noticed today for some reason your entry had also reverted back to Reflex, but it says Fort again now.

Yeah, I spotted the reflex thing when I was trying to see what had changed.

I'm aware that either Con or Charisma can be used for the attack.  That's why Willa's attacks are always made using her Charisma (the higher stat).  The original version of the power only allowed for attacks to be made with Con.

I excluded mentioning the option to use Con on her character sheet, to save space.  Sorry for the confusion :)

Tried to convey in character but want to make sure I was being clear.

The defenders (WD) have strong Will and we have yet to hit their Fort defence. They’re Soldiers and likely have Reflex as a lower defence (as evidenced by their relatively equal AC). That was what Phelan was trying to convey before he used his daily.

Yeah I got that.  Was just trying to determine how high their Fort actually is.  Probably a silly idea.

Oh it's valid, and I'll be very happy if an 18 hits. Problem is descriptions and the like (and a barely-successful knowledge check. I rolled a 3. D: ) seem to suggest a higher Fort. Still, if it hits, that'll be very good info since we know it's higher than 17.

If Amare hits at least we'll know their Reflex then. If it's somehow higher I will stop suggesting that course of action. :P
