Let's go for it. The longer we wait to start the longer the combat will take.
So.... what're we waitin' on?
I guess that Herald survives the attack of the summer campers. Or something like that.
Wusshapnin, peeps?
The sound of crickets.
I'm still about. Just hoping I didnt have this wonderful lady all made up for nothing. :/
Yep. Still here. Herald may just be busy at his camp... at least i'm hoping that's the case.
His last post was ten days ago today. I'd say give it a few more days. But at that point, I'd approve (and appreciate) that effort, though I'd miss Schahrizade as a character.
Still waitin'.
Go for it, Schr...Scars...Shr...Ice. :)

I'm actually making up a general jist of things right now. I'll see about "inheriting" this PbP around Thursday night if that's all right with everyone.
On that note, sound off if you're still here and want to play so I can look at statting preliminary encounters. I don't want to make encounters for this many APL 10 characters and end up with 4 or 5, you know?
around
Here and rarin' to shoot some arrows.
Dub di dub.
In
Alright. As duly appointed busybody and self-appointed appointer, I hereby appoint you the new GM, Scharizade. Go forth and conquer!
It's already Thursday here :)>
It's an hour and 5 minutes into Thursday here.
(Me suspects that Naw is in the UK, too? Portugal? Iceland?) :)
Right now (until September to be exact) I'm sitting in Taiwan. So here it was REALLY Thursday, already past 7 am.
Fair enough. I dunno why I shut the rest of the world to the east out...I think it was the time you posted...2 mins before I did, although why that has a bearing on anything, I dunno.
...
I'll shut up now!!! :)
Well, usually I actually am in europe, just not right now^^

I'm actually looking at not doing the encounter that Herald set up because 2 of 4 people on that mission are missing and one is running the game. Plus, fighting a hundred low-level dudes doesn't sound too fun for just Thak. I'm actually really sad that Schah is a blaster, as I hate, HATE having GMPCs and yet there is no healing in the party.
I'm likely going to skip straight to the high-fives afterwards and then send you guys on a mission to a place that I can take control of and have you hit as a party.
Still working on the map, but I should be done soon-- enough to send you guys out with a modicum of information.
Cool. Look forward to what you have planned.
Feel free to retcon whatever you feel you need to, including Shah's abilities.
Eh Thak wouldn't mind; if Gimli can do it at Helm's Deep, Thak can do so or better here! Hopefully I packed enough arrows...
Ice Titan, thanks for grabbing the reins on this game. I know that might have been a disappointing decision for you to make, and I'm grateful that you're willing to put in the time to let us play these characters.
Mighty kind of you.

S'all good!
I'm the forever DM in my own games, so dropping a character to run is fine-- I just thought it'd be sad if none of them got to make an attack roll. We'll see how you guys do. My encounters are pretty, uh... angry.
I don't mind running if you guys don't expect the moon.
I'm getting ready to throw down the map, though, and start with the surprise round that's sure to be incoming. Just wanted to give everyone to toss out buffs and positioning.

Warning taken. :D

Hey, I just want to have some fun, and I just appreciate the game moving forward. I look forward to getting trouced.. I mean... totally surviving whatever's hiding in the bushes.
Yep. Me too. Much thanks and respect.
I'm sorry we lost Rosie and Shaelathar!
Agreed. Then again, it was a crazy-big group.

I'd like to take a second to discuss how I see Foreseen in this circumstance:
Having failed to make perception, you do not know what is about to attack you... but you do know something is. You can delay, ready, anything you like, but until the creatures act, you're unaware of them since they haven't broken stealth yet.
Does that go for everyone? Or just those that have [ surprised ] by their name in the initiative block?

Foreseen is the diviner school special ability-- it lets Calithilon act in the surprise round no matter what. It's just that his init is so good, he knows there's a surprise round but the enemies haven't broken stealth yet so he doesn't know what he's acting against.
Everyone else is plum surprised but Thak and Nawarld.
Well, Thak's waiting for Cath.
Yes, it sure would be awesome of him to act HASTE-ily. So lets make HASTE and try to dispatch these guys! I generally have GOOD HOPE for this fight!
(I kid... sort of)
I'll stop being bossy... sorry, got caught up in the moment of us getting into actual combat.
It's what I was going to do anyway!

So you get one standard or a move...
And you take two standards, a move and a standard. :P
Foretell is a standard:
Supernatural Abilities (Su): Using a supernatural
ability is usually a standard action (unless def ined
otherwise by the ability’s description). Its use cannot be
disrupted, does not require concentration, and does not
provoke attacks of opportunity.
Your familiar isn't a diviner wizard, but I'm fine with them drawing a wand as their action that turn.
Choose between Foretell and Haste for your action: Choose!
On with the show!
Additional arrow if Cath decides to cast Haste:
And +1 to all attacks.
......dammit.
Terribly, terribly sorry. First fight of the game and it's been two months, can I be permitted to be over-enthusiastic? :P
EDIT: That's some pretty impressive rolling there, Thak. Bet ya can't do it again!!! :D
You see, I am merely anticipating what will happen shortly.

Hmmm. So is it a standard action every round? If so, it'll never get used.
I imagine it's a standard action to start it and it can be turned off as a free acti on at any point thereafter
Understood. You do your thing, and I'll act accordingly. :)
