After the Auction
OOC: partial update for this round. Valor did not see Grilli (spot 15 vs hide 28). You are all aware that Grilli is there, somewhere, so he cannot surprise you, ie. he can't sneak-attack you because you won't be caught flat-footed or lose your Dex bonus to AC. Nyx and Thymas can also make Spot rolls if they look into Bones Alley. Valor's Spot check did, however, recognise the lone Random person standing across the street watching you (map coordinate f16) - it is Sivilan the magician of the Eastern Empire who was at the auction. He is not disguised, just hooded to shadow his face, which is no hindrance to low light vision. When Valor recognises him, Sivilan looks surprised, as he does not recognise Valor. After a moment he raises a thin finger to his lips then points past Valor towards the barrels.
In this RPoL version of our game, we don't roll for initiative, instead the party always have higher initiative than the enemies, so the party acts first then I write the enemies actions in the end-of-round summary. You can use the Ready action, e.g. if this happens then I do that. (Eg. if Grilli attacks me then I attack him with my sword). In these cases the GM will roll dice on behalf of the PC, or you can preemptively roll dice that may get used if the Ready action happens. A Ready action is not an extra action, you can have a move and an action in a round. If you've already written an action (eg. Drink a potion) then you can't also make a Ready action in that round.
If you post again before the end-of-round summary, you can change your action. I will use the last action written. This is how it works in other online games where i am a player. I am rapidly discovering how different it is to GM an online game! :-0
You can move through friendly characters (PCs and allied NPCs are white) and neutral characters (green NPCs) without any movement penalty. Hostile NPCs will be red. The green NPCs may become hostile depending on their reaction to you.
The map has coordinates on the edges that you can use if you want to specify exactly where you move to. Otherwise i will interpret from what you write.
Valor did you intend to stay on Plague Court, or move along Bones Alley, or move somewhere else now that you've noticed Sivilan? I'll update the map with street names.
I will post Grilli's action after you have all posted your actions for the round.
