Just an FYI: This weekend is a "run around in the woods and hit my friends with sticks" weekend. I'll be back sometime on sunday and I'll be able to catch up then.
Veroca most likely wanted to send her rat with GArren so she could have an emotional barometer of how things are going. If GArren doesn't mind a passenger that is.
you all should be able to move your token
I won't knwo what my actions are until after the bandits go. If one of them crits on Saleron I'll be healing him. If they're ineffectual, I'll be shooting someone. Rolling late in the initiative stinks.
True.
Garren, how was the hitting with sticks?
The sticks hitting was grand. It's always a bit weird coming back to society after a weekend in the woods. Among other things I'm always paranoid there's some green makeup behind my ear or in my beard or something.
If it was from a weapon, someone should have been checking the weapons a bit more closely. I've seen a bunch of smaller games forgo that step and I think it's come to bite all of them in the tail at some point.
Re: Init:
The way I've seen most GMs in these parts run initiative is in smaller cells:
1.) Roll Init for the whole party (this saves a day of waiting for everyone to catch up.
2.) Characters act in cells. This allows for posting to happen a bit more smoothly, instead of waiting for one player.
As above: Veroca, Salereon, Johnny and Giovanni go in any order.
Then the Bandits go.
Then Garren and Garion go in any order.
Then Kressel goes
3.) The GM always knows when he's waited too long for actions from the PCs, usually 24 hours, and moves the combat one with a simple action from the PCs. usually this action doesn't use up any PC resources.
4.) Lather.
5.) Rinse.
6.) Repeat steps 2&3 until all of one side is dead or fled.
The above is my two cents and you can take it or leave it as you will. I don't think I have any kind of veteran pbp status yet, but I'm in a few games and this has worked best so far.
Real life has come up and bitten me in the well yeah. I need to take care of personal issues and will have no time for extra stuff in my life. Because of this I will be leaving the game. I am sorry if this puts a burden on the game but my real life issues are far more important as I am sure you will all understand.
Thanks for the fun while it lasted.
Good luck with that RLs. Sorry to see you go!
Indeed. If you're interested, check back when things settle down. We'll keep a spot at the table.
Hey guys, sorry I was MIA. Some work stuff had me tied up at the end of the week and I actually had no idea it was memorial day weekend until the wife told me everything she wanted to go and do plus some family events so I had no time. I'm trying to catch up on a few so I'll be reading through and posting soon!
Damn, I'd missed this. Sorry to see you go Johnny. Best of luck out there.

The only thing I can say is that LARPing with you glasses on is a really bad idea.
And, at least for me, LARPing without your glasses on is no fun. I fell like a training dummy :P

Sounds like a good way of doing it, I will do it that way next time. More so, next time I will roll perceptions or saving throws myself, and leave your the action calling for your characters only.
About the lance range, you are right, the "butterfly" bandit shouldn't be able to attack (butterfly because it got impaled ;) ). The other two bandit, flanking, yes, they can attack.
So the resulting actions stays as they were...
I'll post the other bandits action in the afternoon.
After thoroughly reading everything it seems the battle is over. I'll go ahead and wait until you post what the other bandits are doing before I add anything. Again, sorry I was gone.
And bummer Johnny, we'll miss you! Sorry I didn't notice that earlier.
The escaping bandit gets an arrow to the leg and falls down, unable to stand anymore.
The bandit in K3, at seeing this, thinks it better and kneels, imploring:
"Mercy! Please, have Mercy!"
Does anyone else want to reply to this with: "Mercy is the mark of a great man." Stab. "Guess I'm just a good man." Stab again. "Well, I'm alright."
Salereon is fine with just beheading them. It's what's the ax is for after all.
Veroca highly approves of characters that are Mal. :)
She's not the only one.
"Mal ... bad. In the Latin."
He's a character from Firefly, I'm just quoting an episode. :D
++ player stamp of approval for the GM! :D
Yes.
Figured I'd wait 'til monday, then move things along.
Sorry, the weekend was a blur and today things changed at work so this is the only chance I'll have to post until the evening with the possibility for a lunchtime post. Sorry guys. I'll wait to see how things get moved along and react. I'll probably be able to post at least once at lunch time.
Sorry all. The hotel I was at for the last 4 days was habing internet issues. Rather a big deal on a convention weekend. I managed to connect for a while and catch up on a few threads, but the connection cut out again before I made it to this adventure.
I'm catching up now.
Return quickly. We aren't hauling prisoners all around the 'belt.
Yep, back to Oleg's.
I also have to apologize, my work schedule made a permanent shift and it's disrupted my normal life rhythm, which of course has affected my posting rhythm. I will definitely be able to continue, just have to adjust. I'm on a lunch break now but will be back on later tonight to catch up to whatever you all are doing! Thanks for being patient with me!!
Grouse. Stupid Thai internet died again and wasn't going up...ugh. been arguing with the building for days. At the moment still spotty on the game store's internet. I'll keep you posted!
Thailand, cool. Hoping to get there myself sometime in the next few years.
For the record: I had no actual intention of taking the leadership feat, but if we make it to level 7, I'm totally taking it* and having this kid as my apprentice...
*If Corsario would let me that is.
Minions! We have minions!
Minions and a crazy Cavalier who's talking to himself!
*points at Salereon pulling Salereon aside.*
Crap! Garion! I meant Garion! ^_^
