Damn. Fort not reflex. Snótra got a 22 in that case and Nod got an 18. Both still save thankfully but poor Keydas and Val. :/

Some of us were waiting for information to inform our actions. Since the GM didn't respond in the last day, we didn't get it in time we lost actions. Since this is a competition, we got pushed back and we may face penalties.
I ask that we get to make up our lost actions and not face penalties for this. Or that other parties are likewise denied actions or information.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! All official with bold text and multiple postings and EVERYTHING! That seems very official to me. :)
No problem, looks like your GM got busy and is unavailable, let me try to help out. As far as being able to squeeze in your actions because you were waiting on the GM, I looked at the thread and the posts definitely support that you were waiting for info so I have no problem with retconning your stuff in before this current round hit.
I went back to look for the question you were waiting on, was it this?
When every group is finished with the room, it would be good to know what the criteria were for judging this.
If so, I'm going to need a little more clarification because I'm not following you. When every group is finished with <which> room, it would be good to know what the criteria was for judging <what>?
Actually I was waiting on an answer as well, is the flame a continuing effect or was it a one shot like a fireball spell?

It's a one-shot like fireball.
Oh, and is the statue molded to the floor or is it sitting there?
I was waiting on Valeria, to see if this was something she could disable. She was waiting on the answer if it was a one shot or continuing attack.
Mine was more of an ooc annoyance because we were asked for a feat of strength. I did a feat of strength and we got a nasty fireball. Since there was a judgement that this was insufficient, once the room is finished I'd like to know what was sufficient.
Or, if there's a way to do this in-game, I'd like to be able to try this.

Thank you for helping. Do you have any ideas to prevent this from happening again?

Ah, I understand your question better now - thanks for the context. There is criteria to impress it and your 18 strength check didn't meet the mark, no.

Sure thing, I have two. My group created a discord chatroom (no voice, just text) that allows very frequent communication and coordination. as the GM I joined it and allows quesitons to be asked an answered fairly quickly. Obviously this isn't a requirement, just stating that with the nature of the timed turns sometimes the added comms can be be beneficial.
Alternatively, feel free to email me at corycubbage@gmail.com if you need me to pop in. I try to browse the different game threads pretty frequently, but I've been very busy this last week!
I must apologize. I was out of town for the holiday weekend and I thought I had asked one of the other GMs to fill in for me. Apparently, I just *thought* I had asked.
I will try and make every effort to make sure a substitute is available any time I think I may be out of pocket in the future.
@Valeria - how much weight can you move with that handy dandy power of yours?
With the point of burn 4,000 lbs, hence why I'm lifting one end and usin the other as a fulcrum as opposed to lifting the whole thing off the floor.
Okay, thanks. The statue weighs about 20,000 pounds, so that won't topple it, but it will shift it slightly.
So ya'll know I will be gone from Tuesday next week through most of the following Sunday to Origins and posting time will be limited during that time.
I will be there also, along with GM Shadowlord. Perhaps we can meet up for a drink or a meal eaten in haste between the 15 hours' of gaming every day.
Would you prefer a handle animal or ride check to direct the pony into the room?
Edit: I can also just summon it into the room at the beginning of next turn, which I'll do if you'll allow me to slightly retcon since the summoning is still happening.
I'd be interested in meeting up at some point. My schedule is fairly flexible as I play on just generics.
@Snotra - Sure, you can summon into the room. Otherwise, it would be a handle animal check.
@Valeria - let's try and make that happen
Can you update the game description with the rounds and expiration? It makes it much easier to keep track.
I can't, since I am not the owner. However, I will pass that request on to GM Shadowlord

Done!
Due to the fact that 3 out of 4 of our GMs will be traveling on vacation this week, we have decided to extend the current round (round 18) until Sunday at 8pm. That gives everyone some extra time to post, but PLEASE do not wait. Round 19 will start promptly at 9pm (EDT) on Sunday.
Have a good week (and we'll see you at Origins if you are going)!
Backpacking with family till Friday. Please bot me till then if I don't post. Signals a little spotty but wanted to set up a backup.
I am back from Origins. What a great time!
...and on to the next thing!
I will be a councilor for Children's Camp Thursday through Monday (6/21-6/25), so don't expect a lot of posting during that time from me.
I'm back! Let the regular posting commence (or rather continue, since you have all been posting in my absence, haven't you?)
Dang, wish I'd realized what Snorta was doing, woulda tried to stop him. Too late now though. Reaction later after work.
Seems like we may have lost Snorta and Ghyrryn.
It does. PMs have been sent. Continue on, and we'll see what happens.
I'm pretty sure we did - I've seen Ghyrryn's player post, so I'm not sure what happened there.
I'm sorry. My mother has been in the hospital. next week I am travelling, so if you can bot me I would be grateful. I'm sorry about not being able to leave a message.
Nor worries, Ghyrryn. RL comes first. I'll DMPC you and Kraath until you get back.
Valeria, you still with us?
Yep, sorry, works been kind of draining the last couple of days.
I will be out of town at Gencon this Wednesday through Sunday so my posting will be very sparse/non-existent until possibly next Monday. Please bot me as needed.
I will be travelling the next 2 weeks, and will not be able to post regularly until Aug 14. I will have one of the other GMs cover for me while I am gone. Good luck!
The bear slashes at the water elemental, confused as it comes up with nothing more than water for his efforts.
I dunno, did it? =) Yes. It's a water elemental. They ain't exactly made of meat.

True, but we have to go by your description since we're not there to see things. It's not clear if this was a hit on touch AC that didn't get through regular AC, a hit that didn't get through DR, or something that did damage. I know that Kraath may not know this, but the characters should be able to figure it out.
Okay, back from my trip now. Sorry for the delays. No internet at the in-laws, and spotty cell service. But, back to regular posting now!
The up and down of the forums the last few weeks helped put the final nail on the game. It was a novel concept, but couldn't really find a groove in PbP to pull it off. Thanks for participating in the idea!
Best of luck in all of your future games!
Sorry to see it go but I admit I'm not entirely surprised it did given the format. I like the concept a lot, pbp just isn't good for it I don't think.
I am curious, which group made it the farthest?
Thanks, I appreciate it.
I think if I had to do it all over again that I would accelerate the time tables for interaction among parties. I didn't intend for it to take so long before paths crossed and I think that would have helped add something to the format. Lesson learned.
Surprisingly, all the teams were very close! Two teams were leaving Checkpoint #2. Team #1 was one room past Checkpoint #2 and your team was two rooms past Checkpoint #2.
So I guess congrats, you win!
