encounter format test game

Instead of my previous attempt at something too large a bite for my current life, I came up with something much simpler. It's a single encounter, where I'd like to try an encounter format I came up with specifically for pbp. According to my hopes, it's shorter, less complicated, more creative than the traditional approach, while still structured and based on character abilities.

All in all, I'd like to unify encounters (combat, social, exploration, whatever else you can think of) into a single, consistent, creative, fun, and system-agnostic format.
