Jingles swipes at the Kith with her wooden longsword again: natural 20! Her crit roll is 1, +1d3 opportunistic damage. d8 = 8, d3 = 2 for a total of 10 damage! Nurzual swings his backpack again if the Kith hasn't gone down yet. He rolls a 2. Brandybland jabs with her wooden spear: 17! d8 = 6. Qort h...

Dates before updates, no problem! I hope it went great!

Adding my character stats to my signature, belatedly.

Dropping his shattered spear, Nurzual doffs his backpack and swings it at the Kith's head, hoping the length of chain inside will crush the foe's head like a cheap costume-jewelry bauble. He rolls an 8. Jingles swings her wooden longsword, rolling a 17 followed by 1d8 for 6 points of damage. Brandyb...

My actions remain as declared before: Qort hanging by his fingers in the drain, everyone else pounding the kith in the lift. Nurzual's to hit was 17, resulting in 6 points of wooden spear damage. The others missed with an 8 and a 5.

Looking forward to it! I hope your project went well.

Thanks for the heads-up. Good luck with your project!

No need for anxiety, Judge! You're doing a great job. I've never played by post before, so the logistics are all new to me. I like the idea of trying to keep things moving as efficiently as possible, but since I don't really know the best means of that, I should probably just focus on what my charac...

Do we even need initiative every round? I have no problem just cycling through the same order that we've already rolled, if that streamlines things further.

(I second Gnomeboy's laughter, btw!)

Jingles leaps down on the prone Kith with her wooden longsword, attempting to put her weight and the momentum of the drop behind the weapon. She rolls a 3. Nurzual and Brandybland like Jingles' idea, and also find a prone, face-down Kith preferable to standing, combat-ready ones. They will both atte...

I'm fine opening the game up for another player. My group rolls a 15. Qort has a +1 now that the drink has made him more agile. I don't know if his bonus applies to the group's initiative though, since he's now completely out of sight of the others. If the way is not blocked by Kith, Jingles will da...

Works for me!

My actions are as follows. Qort: I knew this room was bad! Now we've got to go down that drain! He turns and rushes out the door and down the stairs. Jingles attempts to exactly reverse the last operation she undertook with the console, in hopes that it will close the panels again. She also tries to...

My reading of the action to date puts us arranged in the room as follows: Kettering, Stinky Pete right at the panels. Nurzual, Brandybland, about 10 feet back from the panels. Toby examining the runes on the platform Jingles at the console. Blackthorn, Liebgott, Thelonius, Duke positioned not far fr...

If the "something" sounds like arena noises right on the other side of the panels, Nurzual will warn Jingles to desist: Stop! Stop! I think the carnage is right behind these panels! If it just sounds like machinery grinding/turning, he'll urge Brandybland to step back, and they'll both get...

Judge Blackthorn wrote:Kettering looks at the machinery incredulously, "Obviously broken" and moves to the panels on the wall, putting his ear to each one and knocking with the base of his fake spear.

A couple questions before I get to this turn: 1) Did Nurzual and Brandybland learn anything from investigating the panels last turn? 2) What (if anything) did Qort feel upon rolling those 3s? Jingles will make sure all levers are fully up, then turn the left-hand wheel at the bottom. If that produce...

Qort rolls a 3 and a 3. His intelligence check to see if he associates whatever happens with the stuff he drank: 2-1=1.

Jingles will look from the console to the north wall to see if maybe there are seven panels to match the levers.

Qort: Uh, looks like a dead end. I guess we should go back to the drain? Nurzual: Let's examine those panels first. Perhaps one is a door, or they could be broken through to reveal a passage beyond. Nurzual and Brandybland go over to the north wall to check out the panels, testing whether they seem...

Since Qort is thirsty, he'll drink 8-12 ounces of the milky substance. Snooth rolls a 6 on his save, and he doesn't have enough luck to bring that up to a 12. I don't know if you want us to roll our own damage from traps, or if you prefer to roll it for us, but if you want us to roll our own, Snooth...

Suddenly recalling that he is a healer, Qort ponders whether the milky substance might be familiar -- medicinal, perhaps. He rolls a 15 using his healer's skill to identify it, -1 for intelligence = 14. Brandybland attempts to quickly strip the kith of its armor and don the stuff, uncomfortable or n...

Jingles, Qort, and Brandybland rush out ready to do battle. Seeing the felled kith, Jinggles says, "Good job! Clearly, you gentlemen are doughty sorts, and should lead the way! I suggest that right-hand passage." Brandybland notices the kith's leather scrap outfit and examines it to see if...

I'm happy to be patient if everyone else is, but maybe if 24 hours goes by, we could revise the initiative order?
