Thanks for the description. It sounds like the area is fairly open and clear to see up close, but there are limits to the distance that we can see.  Please let me know if there is cover when we get closer to the caravan.

Bit of an info dump. Please feel free to ask questions you might have.

I Just realized I didn't have all the information I wanted in my post. I wanted to add a quote to set his actions and comments into context.

it has been updated.

Posted a basic layout in the IC thread.

The road is off the bottom of the map.

Kojik and Glinsael, you've got potentially one action (possible one each) before the archer bolts off the right edge of the maps and things get more complicated.

Oh! Also, quick clarification I should have made before:

When I post multiple spoilers with a single Skill with multiple DC's, consider the results 'nested.' Which is to say, you can make one roll, and the result gets you all the information up to what you rolled.

If there's every an exception to that, I'll let you know.

In reply to System (msg # 314):

Thanks for the information. I'm going to rewrite my last post to correct it.

sorry it took me a few days to reply. I'm on the organization committee of an ultra marathon here and the event was yesterday. I did 23 hrs on site yesterday after a few heavy days of last minute preparations. I'm done...just done right now.... but it was amazing.

Sorry for being quiet folks - a mixture of illness and busy settling into a new job (might be a connection there...) has not left me with much energy.

Will aim to catch up today!

I have a reply but I'll hold it until the others have a chance to post. If there's no other interaction by the weekend then Danryn will go ahead and reply.

But being he is a testosterone hyped orc with the narrow world view of a cleric he will certainly make the situation worse.

No such thing as a worse situation. Just trading one kind of drama for another.

I wasn't expecting things to go down this way. It's a fun scene.

Sorry for being absent. Life reared it's head. All good now. I'll have a post up in the morning

Given my rolls on the dice roller lately, I'll let someone else make that roll.  I've got a +4 to Athletics.  If no one can beat mine, I'll give it a shot.

+4 athletics beats Glinsael

Haha, yeah, definitely go for it. Kojik will be nearby to lend aid in the 'assist' column, but as for the actual dexterous actions.. Ayanna is likely better for it than he! :)

-1 to Athletics here!

Kovann is an acrobat (+7), not so much an athlete...

Good morning, everyone. I'd like to end the current scene and move on to the next one, but before I do that, I would like to know what you'd all like the next scene to be, and how you'd like to exit this one.

What I'd like to is skip over any further interrogation of the archer and rather than play that stuff out post-by-post, question/answer-question/answer, I'd like to just move forward and then give you a method to 'flashback' later if you think of something you should have asked or wanted to do or say.

(I'll go over what this looks like after we decide what's next)

The Question:
How do you want to handle the river crossing? I think you have enough information now to figure the rest out without too much trouble, but do you want me to just Montage past it and pick up the action on the other side? Or is it still fun for you to poke around and work out the specifics in real time? I'm fine either way, I just don't want to either skip something you're enjoying or insist you play out something you'd be happier skipping.

Let me know if any of that doesn't make sense, and let me know what you'd like.

I would be in favor of a fade tp black and picking the scene up as we approach the camp.

My new job has been ugly this past month with after hours training.  I haven’t been too in touch with the game.  I’m fine for a montage and jump to the next scene.  It would be easier on me.

Same; I'm good with a little monologue to speed things along. Was out for training last week here, so very slow/infrequent ability to check on things, but back home now so should be good to move along. :)

I will never complain about story progression, when it moves us all together :)

Moving to the next scene works for me.

Hey, everyone.

A close family member passed away this morning. It was not unexpected, but still sudden.

I don't want this game to be over, but I'll need to step back from it for the near future. At least until the New Year.

As soon as things calm down and even out a bit, we can re-assess and see what we can do.

Sorry to hear it - Take all the time you need <3

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Take all the time you need.

Completely understandable; take what time is needed!
