OOC

Cool, thanks.
I'm still waiting for Sharagwyn and Travers round 2 turns and since it is Sunday there are extra wait time

Note that Undril will not cast any spells round 1 and that Jim manages to move at half of his feet, dragging his mule, when mule finally unfreeze and agree start moving the same direction.

Sorry about the delay, I forgot how we were running combat and lost track of whose turn it was. I'm good now.

Shara do not move yet, right?

Nope, still in the same spot.

Did I miss something. Did Sara hold Jim's mule by the rope instead of Jim holding the rope?

Anyhow, I am moving Jim and his mule back to his position on the map he were, right? Apes are attacking Sharagwyn in any case, they do understand who is hurting them with the magic missiles.

In order to prevent such issues in future please - everyone describe their PC exact movement OOC if any. Looks like I am not able to always guess your PC moment from the texts like "he hopes to back up".

You missed a post where Jim is hacking away at plants while Shara was pulling the mule along as opposed to being behind its ass.

Oh I see, now it makes sense. So it is actually Shara who is operating Jim's donkey not Jim. Will remember next time

Players, may I ask you to include spell DC in your spell name or at least description, so that I don't need to look it up in your char sheets. thank you in advance.
Managing battle turn with 6p is quite a laborious effort already.

sorry still getting used to this play by post and since it is usually a few weeks between combat i forget :/ Changing mine now

Tried to take the front line, didn't work out as planned. My mistake . . .

a little bit of your help/opinion
I would like to fast forward game until I roll any random encounter or you find any place of interest and post that tomorrow.
On the other hand I want to let you discuss things IC
Do you feel like want to take time to chat IC or we could do that OOC?

I have a big deadline at work which I've been working weekends and overtime for due this weekend. I might miss an occasional post because of it, but I'll still try my best to keep up

ok let me edit the last post a bit. And allow players yo decide the peace and the navigator because Jim do not to be one any more if I read it right

Night watch: you are 7 characters and one of them elf, it means you could have two characters doing watch at a time. I'm fine to ask you for watching strategy only when I roll a night time encounter. But it will happen sooner or later, so I suggest to decide on watch pairs timely.
For your convenience here are top 4 perception characters in the party: Jim, Haaroo, Pacan and Undril . If Sharagwyn pair with two of them you will have 8 pairs each watching 2 hour and I could roll 1d4 do decide which pair is watching when encounter happens.
I believe for most of the night encounters passive perception is essential, though there may be some rare exceptions (haven't red all of the random encounters myself yet - there are ton of them)

Sharagwyn has perception only 1 point less than Undril and she is Elf, if other PCs share mistrust to the priest NPC Sharagwyn could perfectly do the 4th 2 hour watch or even do all 4 hours. You just need to decide if she does it alone or what.

You could cross river any time though logically you would need to swim and doing it with mules and barrel is quite an experience, I don't want to consider any mechanical consequences.
Your main choice is - do you stay close to the river or go into the jungles. Going southwest means you abandon river and go through the jungles. Since you were about to follow the river I didn't ever consider such option, but I'm cool to take it if you could came to agreement within 20 hours of my Day 7 Morning - updated post, i.e. you have about 12 hours from now.

gotcha wasnt sure since southwest has the river in it and if we would still be following the river. I see a block between the two camps that have the river in it and she shaded area. So its possible to be in a part of a hex and not another part of the hex. In that case i recommend going south. Are we traveling for 8 hours and resting for 16? Is that how you are handling that or is a travel day much longer than 8 hours?

We could also do like the GM says. Jim and Nebula takes one shift of 2 hours, Travers and Ha'aroo takes another 2 hour shift. By then Shara and Pecan are fully rested and take the last 4 hours.

Probably best that Jim and Ha'aroo not be on the same shift as they both know the other is really good at keeping an eye out for things.
