would a map help us figure out what to do here?

Rush: Weather Wise |

Hello all. I am indeed a new player that Nayr has allowed to join the game. Not sure on the etiquette of your game; if you've introduced your real life selves or kept it all in person, so I'll just say: I am playing Rush, sylph oracle of the winds and heavily tuned to the weather.
As I explained to GM Nayr, this will be my first time doing a play by post game, but since I've been wanting to do more of the AP's, this seemed like a good way to get some in.
Also, I'm a little confused on what precisely this board is used for. Is it for in character, in game discussion?
Out of character, in game discussion?
Out of character, out of game discussion?

Welcome Rush!
Guys, Rush and I have been RPing and getting him up to speed via PM; he's a new add to the game and to pbp. To clarify - Rush just came from the south - from your only viewable approach to said tent.
Rush - please include a description of yourself when revealed; keep in mind the nature of your character and what he's gone through. Please pick an avatar image like the rest of the guys as well; helps game flow:)
Yes - this thread/tag for anything that shouldn't be talked about in character - from what you did last weekend to deep thoughts on the pantheon. Please keep all that talk here, and limit your posts in the game thread to "in character" speak. At times, we have to add notes to our in game posts to describe the rules involved, clarify an action, or ask a question. Please put those in OOC or out of character tags - like so: {ooc]Rush leaps over the flatulent crocodile.{/ooc}, except replace { with [. See the "How to format your text" below for information about how to make spoilers and roll dice.
Don't worry too much, we're an amiable group and will help out as you get the feel of things. The rules, in my mind, are always secondary to the story itself, so just get in character and have fun.

Haven't figured out had to add an avatar to this alias. My default one isn't showing up. Anyone know what is wrong?

GM Nayr |

Rush, to clarify what's happening right now - that's a pretty darn good intimidate roll by Jack. Though it's often hard to resolve intimidate vs another PC, this roll is higher than the DC, which would be 10 + your wisdom mod + hit dice. So, Jack seems intimidating indeed, and has told you to leave - you're appropriately concerned for your well being, so feel free to post accordingly.
Looks like you have some things to add to your character sheet to work out the final details, please just do when you can; you may or may not have some time till you need the details;)

GM Nayr |

Dangit, I'm not sure either - I think that the avatar is something that needs to be picked when the character is first created...do you guys know if it can be changed after its already set up?
If not, you may need to create a "new" Rush and just change the name slightly, then add the info back in. There seems like there should be a way though.

GM Nayr |

Jack, I'd rule that the intimidate is a check or gauge against the DC above. So, you won the check and I let Rush know that he's scared of you, but its up to him as to how to interpret that. Social checks against other PC's are always an iffy thing to resolve.
Rush, for your use - Jack is decidedly scary.

I don't know why I'm having so many problems with this. Sorry for the loss of immersion everyone, but I keep getting switched back to my normal posting name without noticing it.

Rush, welcome!
Rush got hazed by Jack.
Jack's intimidate roll was to "encourage" Rush to scout out the tent for us. Jack doesn't want to go inside, but he wants to know if some of our pirate NPCs are there.
Rush just showed up at an opportune moment. In that moment, I think Jack would see this stranger as expendable and not to be trusted. So he threatens him, and tells him that he's got to do something.
