Nicely done on the maps, btw. I am not that familiar with Minecraft, but that's some great potential.
Yes, its an interesting game I came by, pretty popular, and I was wondering how it'd work as a d&d map, and it seems to be working nicely, agreed?
I've already set up your entire next mission, and it looks really cool, I must say
I was hoping to confirm if Dix has an evil alignment or not for this game. Basically, one of the bloodline traits is that I can cast a ray spell that heals only good aligned creatures and damages only evil aligned creatures.
I was looking at this as a backup for healing support for the cleric. I don't want to hurt a player or cause any strife in the party, but would my character know that the spell is unusable on Dix, for example.
As it stands in combat, he looks to be needing a healing fix, but that would only make it worse. So, just wanting feedack before the situation gets any harrier. Thoughts?
Thanks!
I already asked him to change it, so I'm saying his effective alignment (for the moment) is neutral good
OK - good to know.
Yeah, don't need to kill you in the first encounter, this should be hard, but no deaths, yet....
...but no deaths, yet....
Why do I picture you saying that last part with an evil grin on your face? ;-)
Hey guys, come on, no ones posted all day, and only a couple people posted yesterday
I would be happy to - No sarcasm intended. I was waiting on Dix's action post and then a resolution to the round. Otherwise, should we go ahead and post next action?
Yep, I never said it was done, they are fighting to the death, at least for now...
Same here actually.
If I may be so bold as to offer a suggestion. In PBP, it sometimes becomes difficult to keep track of who's up and what not. One method I've seen and I like involves putting the initiative order down in a line, with those who haven't acted be bold. For example:
Vayden - Kellen - Bad guys - Dixulri - Agrota
In this example, everyone besides Dixulri has acted. When his action is completed:
Vayden - Kellen - Bad guys - Dixulri - Agrota
This refreshes the track. It also gives us a way to go back and makes it easier to see who has and has not acted yet.
As I said, just offering a suggestion to help out.

Ok, makes sense, But I think I'll just try to keep you updated more like:
Dix, Agota, Vayden, you still have to go
I know there's been a holiday (in the US) and all, but it seems like things have been pretty quiet on the combat thread. Everything OK with all involved?
I think so....
Ayup, everything is okily dokily. I believe we're still waiting on someone from last round, correct? If not, I'll get a Round 5 post up asap.
I need Dix to roll for stabilize
Alrighty then!
I'm going to have to drop out. It has nothing to do with being on death's door in our first combat. Rather, I have issues with the GM. I'm involved in a lot of PbPs here, and therefore I expect certain things for a game. As I am not getting them in this one, I believe I will be bowing out.
I am sorry to hear that Dix, I really liked your character... See you around, as for the rest of the group, I will begin recruiting for a new character at once, we will vote in a few days for who gets the spot, and please continue combat as of Dix isn't there for the time being.
@Monkeygod: Sorry to hear that, MK. Good luck with the other PBPs.
@Chimera GM: I have adjusted my actions and posted an alternative one based on what happens to Dix and how you want to adjudicate that.
I await your call on that.
Got us a rogue, be posting later
Rulgha Ghawn reporting for duty! A Suli of many skills who gets things done, yet I seem to have gotten myself captured. Free me and I may be of use to you.
Just a heads up that this weekend I will be attending a local anime convention to chaperone my youngest sister. My ability to post will be spotty.
Thats alright Vayden, I keep your character in line when needed...
Rulgha Ghawn reporting for duty!
Welcome Rulgha! Let's see what we can do about solving that dilema, eh?
Come on guys, nobody Posted all day...
It's been pretty good so far. Between this Musket Master, and a Spellslinger I have in another campaign, I've rolled three 1's already. Both characters on the first attack they made, and again on this one. Guns seriously hate me. If I counted correctly that was my fourth shot with Vayden, so that's 5 attacks with three 1's.
If anyone wants to laugh, my Spellslinger did end up with a greataxe by some odd circumstances in that fight (an elf with a 10 strength) and actually managed to hit a wolf with it, while not proficient. Just to clarify how much guns do hate me.
Heheh, nice...
Can't roll an attack worth crap tonight.
And the train of bad rolls continues...*ugh*
Seeing as I can't even roll less than 11 on damage, every hit is basically a kill :) The Furious Focus feat seems a bit overpowered for level 1. But I think it should even out by level 3 or so.
Just wanted to ask is Agota still with us? Looks like her last post was last Saturday.
I know our pace is kind of the "keep going" type, but just wondering where we stand as we continue to face off with Thugs, Inc. without a true healer. I can do a little bit, but not enough if someone takes a severe beating.
Anyhow, hopes she's still out there, but wanted to broach the question for future endeavors.
Hey guys, I really hate to do this, and I feel so guilty, but I'm going to be gone for about a week, no posting, I'm so sorry.
OK - thanks for the heads up. Good luck with whatever is keeping you away. ;-)
Hope everyone in the states had a good 4th of July.
Out of curiosity - where are we at now? Looks like several people haven't posted in quite awhile, so I am just wondering.
I don't know, I feel bad, I hope this doesn't fall through because we are letting others down...
Still paying attention. Might want to do a Roll Call to find out who's still here for now, then go from there.
I've been avoiding the other battalions. How are they doing?
I'm still here; on stand-by and ready.
They seem to be doing alright. Looks like one of them has cleaned up their target. The other is about like us - in the thick of things so far (looks like they may have one drop-off of their own).
I'm still ready to go, GM - but is the feeling that this thing is dead? As far as I can tell, only Vayden and myself are still somewhat active as players. Thoughts?
Yeah, thats what it seems like, too bad, this was a cool Idea...
Rulgha has also posted, if it helps.
Just giving you a heads-up that at the end of this month (July 31), I'll be leaving town for two weeks for work. I don't know the status of an available internet connection while I'll be gone, or how much free time I'll have, but I'll post as able.
After that, I'll only be back for a day before heading to Gencon afterwards, getting back home late the 19th. So between those two dates I'll be sporadic at best, possibly unavailable. Sorry for any inconveniences this may impose.
