Okiedokie Miss R since the Tuich lady is going off line for a bit I am going to take this time and shower. You as always are welcome to play me if need be or you just get one of your awesome Halfling ideas. :)
Sometimes Max makes peace with weapons, sometimes with lots of words.
Feel free to forgo your save!
No way, I rolled a 20, I am using it!
I went all Neo on that wave...
Good god you guys are fast! In the Pacific zone and I seem to be way behind... (GMT +8)
It won't be like this forever. It will slow down a bit come Saturday and beyond.
Fajra: No worries, we all start out new... this is my first PbP so I'm still getting my feet under me, too.
Look below where you enter your text, there's a line: How to format your text [Show] Click the button and you'll get a cheat-sheet of the commands. You can even highlight and copy-paste straight from the cheatsheet for a starting point, then just change the text.
The "hide thing" is a spoiler. Dice is obvious...
Yell if you need more. We're working as a team remember, and that needs to be both in game and IRL!
I did see that. I am just not sure if I roll physical dice or just type in the d20+ my stuff or what?
(dice)1d20+7(/dice) (dice)1d6+3-2(/dice)
And so on and so forth. With brackets.
Oh. Miss M and I have plans this evening. It's a going away party.
Yep, when you see the green text, that's always stuff generated by the dicebot to control cheating (I don't believe users can generate green, just black and blue).
So if your perception's for example 5, you would go {dice=Perception}d20 + 5{/dice}, except using square brackets... basically what TET showed you above.
And if you wanted to hide that, you'd put a pair of spoiler tags around the whole shebang (you can put multiple rolls, text, etc. all inside one spoiler).
(spoiler=DON'T LOOK THIS IS A SECRET)
I'm scared of ravens. I think they're staring at me.

By the way, I only skimmed the posts when I got in so as not to hold anything up, and I haven't read in depth yet. Who brought the compass?
I have no clue.
Max, did you leave with them?
If Niu is staying at the inn, I guess I am going. No reason for 3 of us mid-levels staying back.
Guess I better read the posts now.
Well, I guess I can put up the full image now that Tooley's been partially revealed.
Tuich and Tooley - Chibiform Avatar
(Any resemblance of Tooley to James Dean is entirely coincidental. And freaks me out.)
Sorry; you've probably already noticed my marked absence. I thought I could handle this, but it's bit hard. Not the campaign so much as the leaving to study abroad.
I have to go in the morning.
Shrug. I suspect it's been quiet because everyone figured as much and we all want you to have the space you need.
There's "fun" and there's "important"... and the latter has to take priority. Do what you need to do and I betcha everyone here will understand and be behind you 100%.
Here's wishing you a pleasant journey that DOESN'T end in a pile of old mattresses!
Hey Miss R if you need some body else to help with the GM stuff I can show Miss S the forums and show her what you showed me and we both can kinda temp for you or w/e Miss S has more experience with the GM thing.

Update on the Trout. She has made it to Costa Rica safely but was having problems connecting to the internet. She sadly it would seem only has access to the interwebs at the college. It may take a week or so before she is back because she needs time to settle in. When she does post again it will probably be only once or twice a day if even that much due to she is away to study. As Niu pointed out though Trout does not abandon people ever, she will be back. Worst case scenario she is gone the full 12 weeks, but as she said at the beginning. This is an open gm type thread everyone is welcome to GM.
I am.. kinda ditzy. I forgot my charger and the internet is sporadic. Sorry, peeps.
Well you got there safely and you're okay, that's the important bit.
You're assuming she's okay. Maybe she only has two fingers left or something... and one of them is all mangled.
Somebody is just bright and cheery this day.
So, you think of me as something bright and cheerful, full of toys and candy for young children? Thank you! That makes me feel much better about our relationship.
I have 37 mosquito bites, but my fingers are okay. Repellent doesn't always work, and this is maddening.
Take up smoking :P
I might be getting my charger tonight.
1) Yay, Ms. Trout has returned!
2) I take it we're no longer spoilerizing the away team...
Harder to do here. I am still on a friggin' Ds.
Hi! "Salty" reporting for duty!
Thanks for the invite, and hope we have a fun "experiment"
And I'm here! Glad to be :) Here's to a successful thingey!
Your persistence, in spite of the Ds/internet troubles, is appreciated Trout :D
Question: How much equipment are we carrying? All our stuff (Valaravans has a coffer) or only what we have on our person?
In keeping with your nautical theme and us being stranded with minimal supplies: Welcome to Gilligan's Island!
It might be different for you (since you plane-shifted differently from most of us), but I got dumped in with only what I had in my pockets. As in: "precious little."
I took off a few uses of my 'per day' abilities and spells, since she came directly from another encounter. Not that'll it'll matter if the night goes by uneventfully :P
It's rather a 'your discretion' thing. You have what it makes sense to have with you.
Oops, my mistake :P I can safely be ignored then.
Not sure what you're apologizing for; I was agreeing with you. (Ms. Trout was posting the results of the Fajra's earlier cast.)
Or am I missing something?
Actually, how closely are we supposed to be following initiative order anyway? I kinda presumed GM narration would sort things into proper order if we got a little out of sync (barring "A" killing "B" before it offed "C" when it went early of course, which could be problematic...)
I was responding to Max with that comment. Just not wanting to step on TETs toes. She's the GM after all, and I didn't read through the whole combat to check my assumption
You're probably right about the initiative order. Don't want to make too much extra work for the GM though :P
Heh... yeah, the conversation got out of sync a little, which can be... "interesting." I thought you were responding to my comment.
I agree keeping to initiative order is a good thing, I just don't know what the official stance is and thought I'd ask (as you said, "she's the GM!")
Though Ds aside, I suspect Ms. Trout enjoys narrating such things whether necessary or not. It definitely adds a lot of flavor which I thoroughly enjoy. (I feel very fortunate to be in this game!)
As for "the 1," I presumed Max was referring to the fumble (ouch!)
Fat lotta good my Guidance blessing did... good luck Max, I'm rootin' for ya!
She seems to! I like having more narration/RP opportunities. I think this was a good place for my first PbP :)
Max did roll a 1. I need to pay attention :P
Don't worty your pretty little heads.
Somebody kick the dicebot, it's stuck on "1" again.
Sorry, Max. Want me to hit your foot with a CLW? (No clue what "normal damage" is for you...)
an arrow to the foot: 1d8 ⇒ 8
Sigh. Well, it's not stuck on "1" anymore. Me and my big mouth.
double fumble. Ouch!
So Corsario, what does Salty look like? Right now I'm just going off the avatar you selected, which is why Eliah is a bit wary :P
To tell you the truth I imagine him like his avatar icon, maybe a little more tusks (like a warcraft troll) and more normal eyes. :P
Yes, he doesn't look like a nice guy (which he isn't). He was a pirate, after all.
But you can get to like him, if you get to know him. And his salty food.
Youmcan maeuver and be next to the creature in one turn's time.
What on Earth (or wherever the heck we are) makes you think she wants to be next to that thing? I asked about her getting to about 25' to 30' from it for a reason!
Just for assurance's sake, I don't plan to do anything to put Tuich (or any of us) at undue risk for harm. And I honestly don't expect her next actions to be productive. But as she done thunk to herself, sometimes things don't work out as you'd expect, and she does have a small chance of actually doing some damage.
Though hopefully not too much; definitely not interested in pulling agro from that thing. Re-eep!
Miss R buddy old pal old friend? I'm feeling a bit lost with this magic thing and not being 'live' care to email/fb/pm/carrier pigeon/smoke signal me some tips/advice?
