Playing In The Sandbox (Recruitment, Info, And OOC)

And thus I pay the price for skimming. I missed the "Possibly to her delight" part, and thought that the barbarian was biting Tethe's spear after he dodged it (an interrupt attack or something). I need to read this stuff more carefully.

But now I have a CUNNING PLAN (if the Genasi is still alive by my next turn).

3d6 damage is coming on my next turn for what's left standing...

Hang on, I think the turn order got screwed up. I went, and Skaimos was allowed an extra move on my turn, but then it should have been an asortment of enemies (whoever was left), then Tordek, then Skaimos, then Cyrta, right?

Yes, you're right. Xel confused me with him saying he got to go.... *sigh* Well, in that case it's Tordek then Skaimos and Cyrta's turn gets skipped.

OH Extra Turns, they mess EVERYTHING up so easily with Play By Post...

Alright. Also keep in mind, if we're still fighting by the time it comes around to me again, I have moved up one place in the turn order (before the Sand mage, I think, unless you're keeping the dead/defeated/ko'd enemies in the order).

Yeah, I'm sorry I messed everything up talking about how I figured that everything was going to die after the Pixie's next turn, and worded it bad enough to confuse the GM.

Yes, Alma is before the mage now and no I'm not keeping the dead/koed in the turn order (I would if one of you got koed or the enemies could heal though).

Also since we're bringing up things that were messed up in this fight. Conjurations no matter when they're summoned apparently still act right after their caster. Also status effects don't effect Specials (so both Blind and Meditate shouldn't have had any effect on Derpy's Lightning).

It actually took a bit to figure those things out though.

Learning Experience. Eventually someone will figure out a way of making combat run more effectively in PBP's.

After the battle showed me what Tordek is probably going to be doing for a lot of combat, I traded out Against the Odds and Meditate for Demand Duel and Frenzy.

You realize Frenzy says creature right? That includes party members.

I rolled a natural one on perception and didn't even see the "random" part. I replaced it with Condemn.

???? Sorry for the confusion again I guess? Uhiya deflected a lightning bolt the mage she was killing had throw at her, not someone was throwing a lightning bolt. The other bolt mentioned was just y'know a bolt. From a crossbow.

I suppose I should mention how out of combat hitpoint healing shall work in this game.

So I figure you'll make a Heal check and for ever multiple of 5 the user gets, it will heal the target 1 HP. Additionally this will effect how long it takes the target to heal back up to full. Let's try out the default as 12 hours and ever multiple of 5 reduces that by an hour (with a minimum of an hour outside of Expert Skill Criticals (or whatever the dang term if for LL) and a nat 20 giving a bonus hour off, though still minimum an hour).

Also of note, I figure monster knowledge is your highest of Streetwise (since it's doubling as Survival) or History. (Though more often than not I'll be rolling this for you guys the moment you see something and telling you any information you got as a result rather than slowing things down/tipping my hand by making you guys roll.)
Edit: Except sometimes it'll be Arcana instead.

I was very tempted to make this post IC: "Cyrta continues to bleed some more from her untreated wounds."
But seriously, she's actively bleeding, quite a bit considering how large bolts are compared to her.

Yeah, I've not yet had her talk about it in character myself cause it didn't feel right for her to ask to be mended... That just feels out of character for her to ask.

I'm sure she'll be fine.

Uh...... for certain definitions of fine.....

Certain, blatantly lying, definitions of "fine".

Gee, if only you had someone who was good at healing in the party......
Note: Alma, Cyrta, and Skaimos all have a 9 in Heal.

Well, I was getting to that, but I've been busy.

Bronymous, you probably want to make rolls in the future to see if you know of organizations or such instead of just declaring things one way or another.
Edit: Not that it was hugely important in this case. Just fair warning that it's not always gonna be obvious when that kinda information would be important.

I had considered that, after I posted it. It was easier to just go with "she couldn't tell", though.

Hmmm, slowed down again. I can't imagine this is a "got nothing to say/do" situation as you guys are basically in the middle of a conversation immediately post-combat.

Xel.... what?

If you guys don't actually know stuff and think your characters might, this is what rolling History of Streetwise/Survival or Arcana are for. If you just randomly make up answers, please don't expect those answers to be correct.
