Yes, that IS an awesome shirt, so sayeth the DM!

3) Thou shalt not deal lethal damage to a helpless opponent, however thou art permitted to deal subdual in such cases.

Any knight whosoever breaketh yon code shall lose one charge of his fighting challenge ability, if no such charges remain he shalt take a -2 penalty to attack rolls and saves for the rest of the day (I have no idea if that penalty is cumulative or not, what does our DM say?)

oh whew! Those things are lame anyway.

The DM doth did spake in mighty olden tongue of yore; "Verily, thine penalties, shoulds't they occur, shalt indeed be cumulative!"

In an unrelated matter, jury duty was pretty much a total waste of time. Sat there ALL DAY until they finally called us, about an hour before the courthouse closed. Some 60 potential jurors, only 14 seats needed filling.

If we find the body when we get back to town, its probably an ideal moment to bring Warrick in, him having found it first.

So I think my confusion was more based on where you were trying to put it, no pronunciation difference over here... Also if that's describing Grünatharl he's actually green, i think his physical description is a little confusing in that respect though says he's more of a green than the usual water orc blue or something like that

Oh okay now I get it you meant that as an additional line, I thought she was suggesting it as substitution for the line about Skyla because then nothing would rhyme with the one about Neva, sorry about getting confused about that then writing the crossed out stuff in such a confusing way

[Jocularity]

Yeah, i'm here. I just hadn't been able to come up with something for Neva to say in the current conversation, sorry. Totally mindblanked on this one. It seemed to be moving forward though.

Next week and the week after though, i'm on holiday from my work so i'll probably wind up being every second post regardless of whether they are talking to me. All that energy normally spent putting up fences has to go somewhere.

[Bio]

So ... yeah, you don't need to figure any puzzles out right now, not like you have to wait to move the story on until you figure this thing out.

[Jocularity]

Right, i can suggest moving on when i get back later. I was just expecting Skyla to answer Grunatharl.

[Oruvias]

Just to aid in communication/post rate I'm going to start posting in OOC when I'm waiting for someone else to post (no pressure on others intended by this, just might help explain potential delays from me), right now I'm waiting for Warrick to say something before I do anything

[Jocularity]

Yep, there's a post. Just had to wake up first

So how should we go about using multiple characters in conversations? Should we have them both speak in the same post in different colors, or double post characters seperately, or what? I wondered if i should have Neva answer Warrick immediately or wait for someone else to reply first...

[Bio]

You can double post if you like. Personally, I would just have them converse with each other in the same post - like they might in a book.

"Blah blah blah." Neva answered. Warrick didn't think this was so very funny, set his drink down and shoved the table towards her, using it as a weapon thinking it had a better chance of catching her. "Blah blah blah blah!" he chortled triumphantly. Neva, still too pleased with her original jest, continued to chuckle even though pinned. "Blah blah." she said mischievously. Warrick had no response to this and simply sank his face into the frothy head of his ale.

[Oruvias]

I usually find it easier to post separately for each character, but then I guess I usually don't make my characters talk to "each other" very often, and so they're kind of in seperate conversations with other people

[Bio]

So Joc, it really sounded like that last post was expecting a response from Oruvias ... so that's what I'm waiting on ....

[Jocularity]

It did? It was open to anyone, i thought. But we can see if he wants to post yes.

[Bio]

Well, I kinda figured this is your game, not the story of Skyla Exposition - in a sense, she's more of a story telling tool of mine than a PC. I want to make her realistic, but it's not a story "about" her, it's about you guys (even though I'll use her as a kind of 'launching point' for the story, as you may have seen with the dreams and more importantly what they're about) So really, don't expect her to be 'initiating' anything, taking charge (unless maybe if they were in a church of Pelor or something, but I don't plan on that happening either) being the leader or even proposing actions for that matter. (She has 'the inside scoop' so those kinds of things wouldn't be fair)

[Oruvias]

Seemed to me like he was talking to Skyla or more likely awaiting DM update on the stable boy thing, I mean what would I have posted?

Ven?: (he looks)
Grünatharl?: (unwittingly cause a panic by loudly mentioning that he'll go look at the corpse of the guy who was brutally murdered in the stable)

Neither one of those actions would really have helped out in any way and Grünatharl might even have made things more difficult, so I didn't post anything

[Bio]

Well, perhaps we all can share in the blame a bit then. I read that Neva said

which isn't really stating a course of action or suggesting one or a conversation. I figured she meant to talk about it or something, and, as I explained above, I didn't want Skyla to say something like "Hey, let's go check it out!"

So is that what you wanted to do then?
