Descending the Temple Depths (OOC)

Yes. We are all very disappointed. You will have to learn to roll better if you expect to make in this field. :)

We need rolls from Falur and Albert for their actions, and everyone else should show what they are doing.

The characters don't 'know' about any poison yet, so we will have to wait for further hints before acting on that.

I've added my roll to my previous post

You stealing all the luck from our poor bite-victim? :)

I think I did, yes. I knew backing up was the way to go :P #TacticalGenius

I have added dice rolls for attack but i realise nowhere in the past have I done this and I don't know what dice I am supposed to roll. Where should I have found this?. Please change if wrong

The rules for rolling dice are in the Rules thread. But please ask questions if anything is unclear or you are unsure how to do something.

In the case of an attack you would probably be using your strength (but other options are available depending what you describe your character doing), in that case you would roll using the STR Stat. So it would be `2d6+0`, or just `2d6`, this is not DnD and does not use fancy twenty-sided dice. (Out of curiosity: Where did you get the +8 from?)

I don't know what the 'Axe' is, listed on your sheet, it could either be a Light Weapon --if it is a 'Hand Axe' or even a Great Weapon if it is a 'Battle Axe', but just listing 'Axe' sounds like a Martial Weapon? Is that correct? It all depends on how much Silver you spent on Equipment when you created your character, but you did not share much information about your process. Use the Damage listed with the relevant type of Weapon (either 1d6, 1d6+1, or 1d6+2).

Looking at your sheet I see you still have you HP set to 7? I mentioned this mistake before but am not sure if you read the messages as you don't always respond. Per the Character Creation rules, while you get to roll extra dice (due to your high CON), you only get to keep the as many dice as you have levels as HP, so, it looks like you rolled a 4 and a 3 (again I am guessing since you did not communicate), meaning that --since you keep one of the dice-- your HP are 4 (I suggest you keep the higher of the two:).

It would also be nice to see a little bit of information about Falur mentioned on the sheet, so we can be reminded who they are by looking there.

Please reach out and talk to us about how you are doing.

It is so easy, in Play by Post especially, to get left behind and lost because of even small misunderstandings. We are more than happy to help you learn, but need to know your status. We don't want to nag you too much as we know you are learning and also looking at other games and have limited time. We rely on you to let us know if you need more intervention from us.

While I prefer to keep discussion open, you are also welcome to PM me if you need anything.

@Stampman49: And, of course, the simplest solution --since we obviously can't delete dice rolls-- is just to add the new, correct (2d6) roll to the post and ignore the erroneous ones.

Airshark: I am not convinced that that OOC stuff is all that 'Out of Character'. Seems like it fits as part of the general flow of the narration? (Having a separate thread for OOC does muddy the waters about that distinction, though.)

Go ahead and add a Damage roll with the +1 from Skirmish.

Me neither. I added the ooc afterwards 😄

'Added' the block or just converted it to OOC?

Airshark: Since the site does not let us know when you edit a post, you need to tell us that you added the damage roll, else we will just keep waiting for it till we randomly look again and happen to spot it.

Roald takes zero damage, so consider the 'it still hurts' as mainly narrative and play it however you want.

Converted it, not as an edit.

About the damage roll, I did that because you said add the damage roll😉. I'll will notify you in the future if there is a major edit.

Cool.
Yep. Adding the roll to the post is fine. Just let us know so we can know to respond to it, else we keep waiting for the roll.

@TrailHead, I'd like to use Albert's "cure" ability on Deoring. Got any objections to that? It would mean that Deoring has to stay out of the combat for now.

Makes sense since he was clearly hurt. Is there anything that makes Albert think there is venom involved? Does he think he can do something about poisons and such?

I was inferring that from this post. If it's unlikely that Albert noticed the venom, I'm happy to change my post accordingly. Though the cure would still be something Albert would do.
I think Albert is too inexperienced to be able to know that. It might depend on the quantity and type of venom. But he's guessing it'll give Deoring the best chance to live either way.

If you think it is reasonable for Albert to know what that glistening means, then we can use that fact in play. Someone with relevant expertise will work it out soon enough, and a better result on the avoidance roll would have made it more obvious to everyone.
Indeed. Healing is assumed to be offered. The dice might affect that 'chance'. :)

I changed my post a bit so it matches better with Albert's knowledge. :)
