Quince it would have been playful for you, though for those listening a slightly mystical part of him would had them seeing a scary side of Saren. :)

This helps me find the key information as opposed to looking through everyone's different format.
Round 4
Or some sort of variation:
**Round 4**
****Round 4****
{}Round 4{}
¥Round 4¥
Also in the future please note which color or numbered enemy you strike and what it is, such as blue mite. It would also nice to see some more flavorful words in describing what the attack does or what is special about the swing, attack, victim, spell, etc.
A better example: Oscar takes his greatsword in both hands and with an over head chop brings the mighty sword down upon the small blue creature.
Then there are other descriptive words you could use: It has been several rounds of swinging his heavy blade, he can feel the sweat build on his brow and on his body through the exertions he is forcing himself through. Bringing the blade around his body from the last strike he brings it up over his body and crashing down upon the little blue man. Staying alert he looks around him to see how his allies are faring against the fey and their allies.
AoO because of a Spear attack make sure that you write in spear attack as opposed to Xara's attack. Though, with your multiple summons and mount attacking as well perhaps the best choice is {Xara's spear attack}. You could also have reach in there or explain how she strikes the mite with her spear before it becomes adjacent to her.
@GM - If you give us the AC, we can be more descriptive in our attacks. Sometimes the lack of flavorful content is the result of us not know if we hit or not. In another game I play, the GM does release the AC which allows for us to post more flavorful content but yes sometimes we do not post like we should. Perhaps all of us players should post nothing fewer than a paragraph or 5 sentences total?
The more the better I say! I will post the AC in the future, we have to trust each other and I want you guys to win out in the end anyways. XD
I can understand sometimes with the muse not working with you. Most of the time you should be able to come up with, like Kevros said, at least a paragraph. Just describe an action, how you affect the world, emotion, thoughts that could be portrayed by body language, or just personal thoughts. Just think about the books you read. :)
Sounds good will update everything tomorrow.
Please forgive my lack of knowledge on this one. I am not sure on issues of the Map. Our map has a bridge west of us I assumed it was a bridge. I have no idea how Quince should treat that. Does he have reason to think its a bridge and not a ford.
Sorry about my absence, been really busy at work. I hope to be caught up by tomorrow.
As I had Saren ask to clarify:
Did you make the mark, did you get information from someone, what?
I can't remember. I can make a ruling if you want me to.
I'm only going off what Quince said about a bridge. I though we got this map and had been detailing it, though I'm not sure. I'm good either way.
Right I believe that is correct, so a image of a bridge, in mapping terms could be just a passable location not necessarily a bridge. :)
Yeah we got the map. So I guess it is safe to infer what we want which has no bearing on if we are correct. LOL.
I just did not want Quince to spout off too much without the go ahead.
Yeah, I know. Pretty sure that it was part of the map, with no designation of exactly what the symbol means. It looks like a bridge but you are sure you are in the right spot and there is no bridge in sight.
I will be on vacation from the 2nd to the 10th of August, and don't know what kind of internet I will have available. Just letting you know.
Also do I have a volunteer to run the game while I am gone? Most likely just this battle.
Ok and we can wait until you come back if need be?
I'm ok waiting for you Wolf.
Fine with me as well.
Whatever works.
Well we will see how much internet I have and keep going as best we can in the mean time.
Scram first acted in round 2... He has not acted in round 3 yet.
You are in charge of your animals. Quince has not directed it to act any other way, so I would have Scram would first need a str check DC 10 to pull the trap free and come with him and then go after the bandit.
Sorry I am not trying to frustrate things. This last fight I asked a lot of questions because of how things were worded. Likely my confusion.
At the beginning of the fight you said the horses scattered. I did not want to presume that Scram was not among them. So in the opening rounds I was not sure where he was or if he would respond depending on how spooked he was.
As for Round 3. I was in an RP pickle. Rush to certain death to save my AC or abandon it and be a really sucky companion to my horse. I was waiting to see if he was attacked by the bandits whose init was higher than mine. When he was not attacked I had him attempt the pull free, I was not sure if he had already tried to pull free judging from the pathetic whining. You mentioned a failed attack I thought was in Round 3. Going forward I will take more charge of him, my intent was to make sure I was not utilizing him when I thought he may have already acted.
I understand! :)
I assumed Scram was with them, but it makes sense he would come to you instead of fleeing. Right I understand, neither of us said much about the horses, sorry for the confusion.
No you had him attack in Round 2, then he was trapped after the attack.
Round 3, I used your two str checks for him to get free in that round. Freed himself with trap still attached to his leg at the end of the round.
Round 4, I had him follow your command to do a double move towards you but somewhat away from the bandits.
I see what you mean, he could have already acted. Animal companions and familiars in my book will act different from most animals, if scared run to master if not attack, whereas a normal horse would typically flee unless it was a snake, then we would have a dead snake and possibly poisoned horse... I know we both were not using our words and assuming things, I hope we can both do better and make things go more smooth!
Cheers and good luck on running away!
Sorry folks, I have had a sour stomach that kept me in bed for a couple days and just recovering from it besides my other normal duties during the weekend. I hope to catch up on all games today, please forgive my absence.
no worries glad your better.
I will be away for the weekend, I am pretty sure I will have no internet. Unless they put up a tower in Packwood or Randal, and still then it likely will not reach the camp grounds. I will be heading off Friday afternoon and likely be back Monday afternoon. Last vacation before plunging back into substituting.
Have a good time watch out for the Mites.
no worries I'm out this weekend as well SCA event
@GM Wolf - Roger that
@Quince - LOL @ the mites
@Tristan - Huzzah!!! Are you fighting or are you the more peaceful type?
I was in the SCA in my single years. Maybe when we move to the Kingdom of the Outlands, I can interest my family in joining?
Currently my fighting practice includes something more modern such as Krav Maga and before that Kyokushin but I still deploy the very painful Kyokushin round house kick in Krav Maga.
Check out some fights on Youtube.
Yeah I fight when I can, I was close to being knighted then got hit hard by Goute. I'm still ok in tourney fighting but love Melee's. This is new crown stepping up, so I may fight tomorrow or just do target archery if Goute is acting up. We will see.
I am waiting on group discussion and an action plan when you are ready.
no worries watin to see what happens.
I just want to make sure I am following. We fled and are still fairly close to the site of the battle. I am picturing the ruins fairly close to that site or did we have to ride aways?
Excellent question, I had not made that very clear before.
WOW that layout looks a lot more substantial than I was thinking. :?
I will post either today or definitely in the morning tomorrow. I had a house filled with sick people and still busy at work.
Yes the ruins are surrounded by a strong timber wall. Three towers and quite a bit of wooden structure has been erected in the ruins themselves.
Kevros post when you can, thanks for letting us know we might not hear from you soon.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Sorry all, it's been a rough week, I am going to try to post this weekend and regularly again. Between work, my wife's contract ending, and I have the cold they had last week, I haven't found time to post nor has my mind been in it. I hoping it ends this weekend. If I am not into it by Monday, bot me until I can return or if I am really holding up the game right now.
No worries Kevros I know how things can get hectic and RL really getting busy. We can probably wait until Monday, that doesn't mean don't post people, if you choose to start attacking or just waiting and shooting the breeze then that is what you do.
I am sure you can whisper amongst yourselves and not be overheard. Once Dovan and his thug move farther away, say 25 feet. The guard on the tower likely would have a better perception than the other two.
I am going to post tonight, Eastern time. Do you want me to start from here or from the last post? In addition, I will post tomorrow during the day.
Was going to start shooting but I'll wait and see what K is going to say

This has been fun to watch unfold, my plan was to get caught and work from the inside and aid you guys in getting in when you regrouped and attacked. This way is much more entertaining. :)
That was probably a better plan. I think we are figuring you dead if they take you in there which makes little sense cause if they were going to just off you why do it in their home. Yeah regrouping and returning later would have probably been wiser. Plans look worse in hindsight.
Plan A- fail.
Plan B- Go.
Looking at the gate I did not make a knowledge check cause the DC was higher than 10 which you can't attempt without ranks in the knowledge skill. Looking at it does it look easier to climb or break through in general? From this side do I think it would be easier to push or pull if I thought breaking down was a safer option?
The gates open into the compound. There appears to be a wooden bar holding the gate in place. It would likely be easier to climb, especially with four men being a step ladder for the others. The monks and Saren.
LOL wow you have been a single PBP for over 2 years how did your character end.
He fell off a wall face down surrounded by enemies. Clearly not the hero of the story.
They say you can't win Pathfinder but I submit you can lose. LOL
LOL, I am sure you won't die yet. Just wait for the beasts to be loosened on you! ;)
Well you picked the tongues curse Quince, perhaps you might want to come up with a way to overcome it. Yeah know talking to sages and oracles and such.
If plan on just making an OOC comment, just post it here in discussion. Otherwise add some gameplay content as well.
Sorry I will keep chatter here.
Thanks Quince, I just like to keep them separate. There is a reason for having both threads! ;)
