Episode 1

I am not entirely familiar with that movie, but I have seen parts of it. Looked up a pic of that character, - that's definitely a great hit on the imagery.
Can definitely see Rison being a heavy influence on Kray- maybe both a good influence and a bad one. Calculating much of the time, but quick to anger, wrathful and confrontational frequently. Probably too frequently is the most common opinion within the house. Most people hate Rison, and many fear him. Kray could likely be one of the few people, inside the family or out, who have seen the benefits of learning from him, even though the risk has been high and the interchanges unpleasant at times.

Are we still operating 7-8 rounds ahead of the rest here? Can Thorn yell for his buddies, or would that upset the time-space continuum?

Got it.
One more hit we can go with for a head-knocker, but probably need to forgo some of the extended double and triple tapping for thorough costume breakdown. If you want to move to relocate to that place on next round and attack those guys where they are now, better step to it and fast.

i wanted to wait to see if the bull went down, I can skip head cracking if it means I can move toward Qiu.

For any nerds reading between the lines, I'm formally coming out on the side of the debate that a Grapple attempt is an attack. I know there was some back and forth on Admin about it being either that or an Ability Check. I was in the Ability Check camp at first, but was swayed by the strength of argument (fielded capably by Counselor Ezeriah, esq.) and a thorough read on the rules. The differentiation doesn't always make a difference in a practical way, but sometimes it does. Like now. Should goat, Prone, get a Disadvantage on the wrestle try? Yes if it is an Attack. No if it is a check. We are going with Yes here.

We can say the yell goes out, but it can't be posted on the boards now. We can insert it at the proper location on the continuum as the scenario applies at the time.

Good call. Crazy ass scene blowing out in every direction. A moment to clarify:

Bear, Qiu, and Goat are doing a wrestle sandwich out at knee-level swamp water, approx 40' from where Bull/Talius/Kray were fighting down close to the outer deck of the hut in the low root covered ground.

Talius is now a little over half way covering that ground to get to them. If everything stays on schedule/position, Talius will arrive next round and be able to act at that locale during BR6 BR5.

Ivor is on the outer cabin deck fighting Bird. That deck is about 10' - 16' high (because of slanting ground) and connected to the cabin. The deck overlooks both fight locales below in a way because one corner is near the Kray/Bull fight scene near the dry side and then it also is built partially over the water so the other corner is out over the lake. The deck does not have any real stairs going up to it. To reach it is more like a rugged climb on slippery roots and then the support beams and boards of the deck itself.

Thorn is really out of the picture. Or no one sees him or knows what he is doing at the moment. Behind the proverbial game-play side room curtain, his actions are a little bit ahead for reasons we could talk about later, but we will blend back together as I see how the other stuff develops.

And yes, the Phantom Menace is gone. Ducked out over the roof of the house.

Keep in mind what people can and can't see. I don't think anyone on the ground has had any visual on Thorn or Ivor or Phantom for quite a while (a while of 6-12 second intervals that is). Bird was there with everyone for a while, but ditched and Jedi thrust jumped up onto the upper deck to make introductions with Ivor.

We are still, for now, in the middle of TOP OF ROUND 5. Bad guys are still attacking.
At this moment, awaiting counter wrestle moves from Qiu. Not 1, but 2 of them (from Bear and Goat each).
After that, Bear will decide his second Attack based on result.
Plus the alligators are about to go buck wild Discovery Channel, but I have to see what the whole scenario is with the Battle in the Bayou pay-per-view.

In advance, I have Ivor's Bottom Round 5 actions. Those will be covered first after we transition from TR5 to BR5.

Sorry for jumping the gun! I've been lagging behind the past couple of weeks and overcompensated! :-D
