Sadly, I must bow out of this game. Nothing personal, it's been fun. However real-life before roleplay as the say. Sorry everyone. Do with Nar as you wish.

Sorry to see you go Skydut.

I booted Skydut from the game and invited Cmbrian, who will play a half orc paladin who may or may not be called Nar. He'll either jump in as Nar, or get introduced shortly.

CNNWAS has been AFK for awhile, and hasn't responded to my PM 10 days ago. I'm going to stop acting for him, and drop him from the game in a week or so.

The game has been slower than I'd like - part of this is due to having the enemies act on two different initiatives, and trying to arrange 8 groups (6 players and two NPC groups) in order.

I'll endeavour to have the enemies act on one initiative, and then the players can act in any order until all of you have acted. Hopefully that will pick up the pace.

But part is waiting for other people to act. As such, I'd like each of your input on whether to replace Hanson, or stick with 5.

Either solution is good by me. Sad to see people go, but I guess thats to be expected this early on (as none of us really knew what we were getting into).

I'm guessing you have a better feel for the ideal pacing. Have to say, even with the slow pace I'm very excited to see where this is going. :)

Five PCs should be sufficient, I think. Why don't we try it? If it looks like we need another PC at a later point, we could put the invitation out at that time.

This being my first pbp game, I really can't judge. I'm actually trying to figure out exactly when I should be posting!

The poor guy had no hp left. I wasn't sure if I should impose Disadvantage, now that Concentration had been broken, or if the spell should persist in the closed space for awhile. Even for a round.

Anyway, made a judgement call that the spell immediately ended as duration was concentration and concentration broke.

Heh. Just checked this morning to see who we were waiting on. Oh, it's me. Oops.

oh yeah, you did mention flanking earlier. I jumped from AD&D to 5e so missed flanking!

On a side note, I never realized how hard it is to write dialogue for a half-orc with an intelligence of 3. I'm not sure he even should be able to talk as eloquently as he is now :o

Haha. I played a Int 3, high Wis dwarf druid a couple years ago. That was a mind bender.

My first character in 5e was a low int fighter. It's an old reference, but I played him like Dauber from Coach. He was a lot of fun -- he stuck unwaveringly to his ideals. To a fault.

Good point there. Dauber is dumb as a doorstop, but he is still able to talk (what he says is what lets you onto him, not a dire lack of vocabulary and grammar). I might let Grok do conjugations after all then, just need to find some middle ground between garbled nonsense and eloquent speech that works for him. :p

Thanks for the input

Maybe the room has something gigantic and slow with Initiative Feats!

Hi everyone. I hate to do this, but I am afraid I have to drop out of the game. Between my home game (which I DM) going PBP and university starting up again, I can't keep up and I don't want to make everyone wait for me. Qralloq, thanks for DMing. You can pass Baroril on to someone else, NPC him, or give him a fitting death in sacrifice for his friends. It's been fun!

Thanks for the heads up, argyle_ninja. Thanks for playing with us and putting up with my shenanigans.

Sorry to see you go, argyle_ninja! But totally understand. All the best!

Good luck with the home game and university, hope to see you back on GamersPlane some time in the future. Take care :)

Take care, AN! It was fun playing with you. Good luck switching your home game to pbp & on your studies.
