No worries man, I understand the work posting thing completely. Just nice to be rolling along regardless, the speed is not a problem. :)

As long as I can get to the tavern entrance and notice the others I am sure we can entertain ourselves with colorful IC posts for a few days. ;)

Two more possible joiners, Sorry, but you all are going to have to be happy with cat calling the cattle ranchers as they walk by while I get them up to speed.

Oh yeah, adding maps. Found one for Old Hrolmar, so if there is something you want to see, you have the day to do it(game day) Red Dot is the Tavern when you eventually get there. Eventually as in when I have time to do a bit more posting as once again, Heading off to work. Wanted to get maintenance done on my games first.

I don't mind having a bunch of time to banter back-and-forth with the others, just need to arrive at the tavern first. ;)

Updated Languages for those of you who took something other than Low Speech/common

Mabden = Mabden
Mong = Mong
Lesh = Lesh
High = High Speech/Melnibonean
Pande = 'Pande - Unknown East Common

For  those of you who are unfamiliar with Language use on the boards:
Language <group name>: <text> inside of brackets [ ]

It will show a your message to all those who can speak it, and a garbled message to those who cannot

For the most part it looks like we are topped for characters. Those who I had on the "maybe list" are still there. I have ways to get them in later if they decide to keep on.

So drink up me harties, oh wait.. look at your empty coin pouches and wish you could drink up! har har har.

As I said earlier to many of you. I'm not going to advance the "main plot" for about 3ish days. I'll post fiddly-bits, clarifications, and conversations as I can. I will NOT advance the main story arc without at least giving people time to post. If 3 days is to fast, let me know. I'm here for you all to have fun and get my old GM fix on as Tabletop RP just isn't going to happen for me any time soon

Interesting, I open the bar, and all of a sudden... everything grows quiet, too quiet. It is like there is some sort of evil chainsaw wielding maniac about to enter in and make you all get into a fight...

Or maybe not

Been really busy the last few weeks, not showing much sign of slowing up but I'll hang in here.

No problem, thanks for the heads up. It is xmas season and I too work retail. Just give us a heads up if you need to fade out or drop. Once we get on the ship it will be extremely easy to fade out, sadly there is a castle raid first.

Have fun storming the castle!!

Happy turkey day everyone in the US. Or wait, should I call it Happy "Wait in lines for hours while ignoring your family to get a great deal on crap" day

Either way have a good one.

Due to the holiday (and resulting "Black Friday") I'm not expecting much for posting till past the weekend. If you do great, if you don't great, that means your either stuck working like me, or you are paying attention to extended family.

So whats the deal with Eclair? do we see anything? I could not find anywhere any description why some NPC took such a strong reaction to her hand/arm???

I see she never updated a profile. I was going with what we had talked about during creation. Much like I did with many of you. Let me send a PM to have her update it as I'm going to let her try and explain "in her words" what the issue is

 I got suckered into both :P

Things are leveling out around here now though, so I will be back in action and mostly normal by tomorrow!

So I am not sure what Khazim will be able to do. If he can, he will get himself off the floor, step back, and put his bow into use. Otherwise he will get himself off the floor and use his boar spear. Let me know which he can do and I will put in a "getting into fighting mode" post.

as for what you can do, anything really, you are merely on your "Arse" when the demons start to push through the membrane. Essentially your getting caught flat footed and will suffer a initiative penalty getting up.

That is unless you can think of something neat-o kean-o to do when you are on the ground.

Now i did not paste the wall of rolls and such in the combat. I know this form is not all that familiar to many of you.  Is there something i can do to help with the wall of text. Any suggestions for a group this size, even if it is an overwhelming desire to go to the individual posting style.

Feel free to send the combat pms after each update i've got a few but not all

weekend madness, will send soonish :)

one last pm needed, scene is almost written, however I've got to get ready to go to work. So it will be finished and posted tonight when I get home PM or not.

BTW after this first fight, feel free to discuss combat tactics here in OCC.

So any input on the "combat scene"
Like, Hate, Go to the way we are all familiar as it is to friggen long to read?

In the beginning some had expressed desire to mainly RP and ignore some of the rolling, or have me do it for them. Hoping that this method is well received.

If it makes the game slower, I'll swap to the speed people want.

In reply to The Grey Lords (msg # 61):

The text is fine.

It's fine the way it is but another option is something I did running a Talislanta game a while back. Everyone would post their actions and rolls then I would do a big wrap-up post summarizing the actions of the group and the opponents. One nice thing about that is people knew who still needed to post something and took a little of the onus off the GM.

I agree with Khazin, most game I play do something similar. It helps because it take a lot of the burden off the GM shoulders and it give the players a sense of action and motion forward as they see other people actions.

Well lets try that then for this next round. I had a few comments that the version I'm doing feels slow, as there is really no visible interaction on your side, it is me simply collating your PM's.


So go ahead and post your actions, your rolls and I'll organize and recap. Rounds may go a bit faster if others see that things are being posted. With 4ish people in a gun fight what I do tends to go rather fast.

Before I post anything, what are the numbers looking like? Is it safe for Khazim to pull back and use his bow or should he stay in melee with the others?

posted a combat assessment for everyone to think on what they want to do.

For those who are going to continue the PM's, just keep sending them to me. For those who want to post, just separate out your rolls in Orange at the bottom of the post. I'm willing to work with what is most comfortable for anyone. Hybrid combat posting away!
