Good luck! I hope everyone's having a great holiday weekend, or just four great days in general for those who don't celebrate.
@ Orendel For what it's worth, I don't think Orendel is too gruff.
For some reason I imagine Orendel sounding like Raphael Sbarge now...I don't know why...
Sorry for vanishing. Migraine won yesterday.
We were pretty lucky in Vegas! Back to the normal routine now.
Am I gambling right? Betting the same amount each time sounds like something the soldiery Orendel would do, but I'm not sure if that's smart gambling procedure or not.

Really deppends on your luck. I like to bet based off my previous winnings, but in this system i just desided to go wild.
I do not gamble in real life because I need the money I have. To each their own I think.
Everyone has their own superstitions about gambling. It doesn't really matter unless you know how to count cards or something like that. But I'll bet a little more aggressively at a craps table when someone seems to be rolling well, and walk away when that lucky streak stops.

Yeah....I could do a series of rolls, where we go multiple rounds, but we'll just let luck decide and move the game along after the weekend, hopefully everyone will have posted by then.
@Silvio Sorry for the delay. Thanksgiving, cooking, migraines and all that. I don't know if DM Default will allow you to retroactively roll the last dice or not.
Meh, it's early and for fun. I'll allow it.

Long day guys, will have to update tomorrow.
Troll Emo: "CRAWWWWWLIIIING IIIIIN MY SKIIIIIN! THESE WOOOOUND ALREAAAAADY HEAAALED!"
Orendel: "Kill it with fire."
Now to show off what Orendel can REALLY DO! >:)
Forgot to prepare spells; Silvio will have memorized the following: Cure Light Wounds x2, Acid Splash, Daze, Detect Magic. This is noted on his character sheet now.
Making dramatic speeches is what being a Battle Herald is all about! >:)
Posting to all my games
Just wanted to inform you all that I am currently wading through a veritable swamp of work, obligations, and schooling. As such, for the next two weeks of I do not guarantee my usual posting rate but will attempt to update games when I am able.
Happy Holidays.
So a quick question.
With such a large party, combat in the future might take longer with more variety of enemies. Which would you guys prefer for the future?
1. As is, everyone rolls individually and enemies may be clumped into groups.
2. There is a "Team initiative" that is the average of all your initiatives. You all can act together and this saves updating time, but might be annoying to the faster members of the group.
3. As is, but everyone is allowed to post a default action that (unless the specify otherwise) goes off automatically when it's their turn.
I don't like 2 because if I'm Cherry, I want to stab flat-footed enemies.
1 and 3 don't seem that different to me, and are my choice. People can always post their actions ahead of time as desired. I think you can resolve some of the issues by clumping enemies as you already suggest.
I'm OK with working with the rest of the team. As I gain levels my way of getting enemies to be flat-footed will be more about vanishing or fighting in darkness! :D
Thanks for the consideration though, Silvio. :) *blows kisses*
Hope things go well for you in the swamp. And I agree with Silvio.
I was for the team Initiative, but some good points were brought up. Absolutely keep the NPC's acting on the same round.
Hope things go well for you in the swamp. And I agree with Silvio.
Seconded.
How about this,
Everyone rolls initiative. Enemies are grouped into a team initiative, but for every unique (stronger than a grunt) opponent that is higher than the average, the group climbs up by 2 or so.
Does that make sense?
Works for me!
So all enemies go on a single initiative roll? That seems okay.

I am fine with that. Combat is the slowest part of PbP so I am willing to try various methods to speed it up.
Oh my. I didn't mean to hit him that hard! I didn't outright KILL him, did I?! D:
Also, on an unrelated note, I mean no disrespect DM Default, but there's only 1 L in Orendel's name. Easy mixup to make, considering that his last name DOES have 2 Ls, but I wanna point it out before it becomes a habit.
I'm aware I don't have to roll, but I prefer to avoid auto success. If you also tried to grab me that would make sense, but you have not acted yet, so are flat footed, so my odds of success were pretty good. Also I reasonably should use up an action, Standard to do it myself, move from me AND from you if we want to auto succeed grab. This way i didn't cause you to lose any actions.
It is no biggy. I was just curious.
Just some commentary while waiting for my next turn!
Don't forget your save vs daze, Orendel!
Ow.
Promise I am still here. I think we are waiting on DM Default for the next round.
Likewise. I assume things'll clear up after DM Default gets through this busy time.
Holidays session tends to get busy people.
:3
Indeed. I hope everyone has a happy and safe one! :)
DM Default I had delayed to wait for someone to get closer and I do believe that is happening. Do you want me to wait for the results from the two saves he has to make now?
Thanks! It's Catalan for "go to sleep!" I like to add a little flavor to spells.
I like that!
Well, feel free to borrow it! That's what I did. ^^
I had been considering doing so when Dougal figures out he has magic.

I would say make your attack as if he suceeded, then just another post if he fails.
Sorry all, been picking up shifts left and right. Hoping to have an update today or tomorrow.
Hopefully this rough period will pass quickly.
It is ok. Life happens and it is the holidays so free time is limited anyways.
Silvio I will get to you if Syeira does not. I promise. But you to know each other and Dougal is having a bit of a melt down at the moment. It will not be a common thing, this healing the bad guys, but Dougal has never done more than punch someone. And yes that scream will be staying with him :D
That just shows Dougal's integrity. I am proud of him.
