Against the Cult: Suspicion in the Starlight 1.8b

What would you like to do?

I will continue to narrate what the two Dungeon Busters hear in the darkness of the barn in the meantime. Assuming no one stumbles upon them and they don't rush out to do anything else that would disturb their recovery, each of you will be able to choose to take a short rest and spend your hit die/dice normally.

You each get a short rest. Replenish your abilities that recover with a short rest (if any) and, if you wish, declare how many hit dice you are going to roll to regain HP. If you do, remember to add your CON modifier to each die you roll.

Here we have two options. So far the two groups' adventures have been moving forward at approximately 1:1 time...but the other group is not resting yet. My strong inclination is to proceed with your (Aanbo and Chase) actions after the hour has passed, but it does mean that the two groups will be out of sync for a bit. But I don't really see a good alternative for you as players, as waiting for them to "catch up" might involve days and days of you sitting on your hands. Do you?

Second question: in other games, I've created a side thread for "Rest conversations." The idea is that in the main threads (like this one), the players can just say "we take a short rest" or "we take a long rest," they expend and recover resources accordingly, and then resume with the action after the rest...but in parallel, they can carry out the conversations that would be happening over minutes and hours during the rest by posting to the "rest conversations" thread. Do you feel like you are ready to post to a rest conversations thread? I'll create one if you are, or I'll hold off if there isn't much that the two PCs will whisper to each other during their anxious rest in the barn.

It's easy for me to wait for everybody else. If Chase wants to have a conversation while we're hiding, I'm all for it; otherwise Aanbo is content to meditate in quiet until it's time to move.

OK, I'll hold off on creating a "Rest Conversations" thread for now, as you don't seem particularly interested now and it would just give the other group a sense that you are all resting now.
