Thought you'd debate the tracks a bit, for it could be a sign of things to come.
Ah, sorry for the confusion.
It is very hard to keep invested in the game when there are only short nudging posts. The nature of PvP insists that we have some longer story driving posts to react to. It doesn't seem like we've really made any progress for a while.
Sorry, if it is Slow, but with it being the Christmas season posting will be slow until after the New Year.

of course, obviously during the holidays things will slow down, but after that.
moving topic to from gameplay to keep it clean.
So, the mention of the Wisdom Check DC 11... was that the DC to pass the previous check, or is this a new one if we saw or heard something in the fog? Also, are we in battle now against the coven? Do we all see something to fight, or just what you told us in individual spoilers?
New Wis check, if you failed the first one and want to center yourself to remove it,
or you skip the Wis check and be flat-footed until you center yourself, I say so or after the fight, which ever comes first.individual spoilers were what you sensed, but with one pointing out the coven.
Also Fog waist high, so you can all see targets, unless it dips below the fog.
Is the game still going? It has been a while since anyone has posted.
waiting on some players actions...
Ok, just checking.
My bad on missing that turn. I missed the switch from surprise round into round 1.
So far...
The group has left town and run into a Balrog, which we are told we have no choice but to run away from.
We then find a coven of hags. They have prisoners. We attack.
Each of the hags, I believe, is roughly CR6. This coven has an annis hag (3x attacks, each of which auto hits us and on sub-average rolls will take most of the party into negatives with a single hit), a green hag (which has just gone invisible, and I don't think we have anyone who can counter that), and a priestess who is healing them.
I don't think that these are the kinds of encounters that a lvl1 party can realistically handle.
You just need to survive until a certain number of rounds have passed is the encounter that is happening at the moment.
And I did hint things, as I did say Large hinting a Large creature like the annis Hag, no one thought to roll knowledge checks and plan things out or pick their targets more wisely.
The group had many options before it, each with a different path and consequence.
Knowledge checks...ah wish I thought of that... :p
I even did foreshadowing for this encounter, but no one thought to look into the hint.
And If I foreshadow something of my content, odds are good it might be a hard fight.
There were about 3-5 things the group could of done to make the this fight easier, if they opted for a fight in this encounter.
Androushan, do you have a melee weapon out?
Can you get one out?
If circumstances permit, although his only melee weapon is a dagger...
For the 3-5 things we could have done, what were they?
So far what I saw was...
(1) Balrog! Told in certain terms that character knows it is something we can’t beat, and we were told to run. Which we did. We didn’t roll knowledge though.
(2) Coven with prisoners. We couldn’t flee due to said Balrog out in the wilderness, so we attacked and tried (and succeeded) to get prisoners to join us.
What did we miss that would have made this fight winnable?
Anatoli is alive, forgot to edit one damage title to Adroushan
Anatoli: 10HP -18Damage = -8HP.
Adroushan is at 1 HP.
Green Hag is quite injured, the Annis is barely scratched.
Everyone, Choose either the Red woman or the Blue man.
As the choice will effect an upcoming series of posts for your character.
blue man
I'll go with the red lady, then.
Blue man group
Red lady.
Unconscious. If that doesn’t matter...red? Because she is covered in that color already;)
Also unconscious, but Red Woman I suppose.
quick list for later
Carth : Blue
Adroushan : Blue
Anatoli: Blue
Ashlyn: Red
Zegenva: Red
Brunhild: Red
Mahonrai: Red
I already posted my answer.
I don't want to but to move things,
I'll bot actions in 2 hours, if none are taken.
When you say that she is 10 feet from, do you mean that there are 10 feet between us (2 squares between us and her), or that she is 10 feet away from us (1 square between us and her)?
Hag is 10 feet away from PLayers (1 square between us and her)?
I was referring to her fatigue from her rage.
should of added the rage part the second time, as I thought you missed the answer that I thought was for the lullaby effect.
and it would of had little impact in the last fight..
Everyone can post after reading their spoiler and please don't read the others.
And please post in a spoiler until I say your awake.
I feel like I'm covering for the slowdown over the winter break with my current posting rate.
You'll all be waking up soon, so you can use the next day or two to fish out some more answers or if you give an interesting post, I may post something special.
Sorry if answers are too cryptic or the NPC is a bit too preachy as I might of tipped the scale a bit too much.
Sorry for not posting sooner, but RL has been grabbing my attention and focus...
No Problem,
We could just put it that your character was really lost in thought,
I've done that at about twice before in RL, where I realised I was not going to or passed the location that I wanted to go while thinking something over and over as I walked or bused around.
RL has been taking and keeping a hold of my attention.
And I've had time to think if I should keep this game going and while I would prefer Not closing a game I'm running,
I also find it unfair to the players to have a game limp to a slower and slower death.
So I'm sorry But I'm pulling the plug on this game.
Good luck and thank you for running.
Can you close the thread please.
