Y'all, I had some intense suckfest meetings like all day. Still struggling to recover. Trying to post up a few entries tonight, but not sure if I can pull it off or not.

So before this needs to get figured out in game time...
Something we did before was set up a marching order of sorts for dungeon type scenes. Nothing complex, but it's meant to make the PbP more efficient when shit goes down. J knows who's in front, rear etc.
The most useful proficienies to know for this are Stealth, Perception and Investigation, not to mention HP and any other proficiencies/traits etc you all think might be pertinent (e.g., Thorn and Ivor's Sentinel feats, Bryn's backstab, etc).
Can also set up a combat formation of sorts. Wonderfully so, J's combat scenes are fairly tactical and realistic, so this will be important as well.
So if you guys can post your characters stats for those it would be great. I'll figure something out like before and see what you guys think.

INQUISITOR SIZHEN LAO
Rogue 6 (Inquisitor), Fighter 1
Sizhen is a smarty-pants rogue. He plays the traditional D&D rogue role pretty well, except slanted more toward social interaction than stealth. In combat, he operates best in melee or throwing range.
HP: 48
AC: 17
Perception: +9, passive 19
Investigation: +9, passive 19.
Stealth: +4
Sneak Damage: 3d6
Thieves Tools
Mobile/Dual Wielder/Keen Mind feats.

Jabes, Ox and X I could use updates when you get a chance.
Anyone who is cool with posting their characters in full that works too. I can really got into strategy and tactics so I like sorting through what the team is capable of.

Len and Hyp, is there a particular time that you usually do your posting for PBP? I was thinking, if we could all get on a similar post time it could help us speed along this stealth scene.
Don’t take this as something we have to do, it’s just a thought.

I have to call caution at the moment though, all in good humor to be sure: no strategy management from the sniper bell tower firing from Admin to Ep on this scene, from the upstairs parlor nap room down to the boiler room basement.
Kray has come up with some outstanding plans as a squad leader, but I'm wanting to see how these downstairs shenanigans unfold however they do - with or without optimization. These guys just met each other. Likely don't trust each other. None of them are talking strategy. None of them know each other's strengths or weakness. So I would be forced to completely bust out laughing if they fell into a SWAT Team stack to blow the door and flood the next room.
Bro, don't get mad! I'm laughing right now and would pass you a beer if I was there.

Len and Hyp, if you haven't set up one of those drop down character sheets (like below) they are pretty damn nifty for the rest of the group. Personally helps me get a better feel for your character.
You could easily copy paste the below as a template and make adjustments, if you like.

For those who don't know, J will kill you. RIP Talius and Qiu.
And no, I won't radio in any coordinate ops from the sniper's nest ha!

Just watched that stack video again. Good stuff.
Krays got his regular crew with him. They'll do a stack lol.

Kray, Thorn, and Ivor could stack the fuck out of that parlor door I'm sure. Offensively or Defensively.
Anyone trying to do CQB through that door incoming would definitely find themselves entering the proverbial "fatal funnel."
