OOC - for scheming behind the GM's back (sorta)

They are 5' squares, so your group can pass water 'every other square' so yes, 10 feet apart.

Any +5 to anyone throwing buckets, or just in a brigade?

[Anodyzed]

Anyone who throws a bucket of water on a fire square gets a +5 to their CMB roll to extinguish the fire in that square.

[Anodyzed]

Y'all do realize that at some point, someone is going to have to say "I take the water bucket. And I douse the fire at square x,y. And then roll the CMB, meeting or beating 12 to succeed.

Right?

[noozoo]

That is whoever is at the fire, at the end of the line.

Usually, but a couple could do it, I'm giving they can pass two buckets at a time.

[cybersavant]

i think we'd be better able to fight the fire if we ALL move as follows

Kat 2 left 1 up
Chem 1 left 2 up
Kaz 1 left 2 up
Toren 1 up
Dag 3 left 1 up
Fiornan 1 left

I do realize how hard it is, particularly on the internet, to 'coordinate' a group's actions.
I've been part of these kinds of efforts, seen them succeed, seen them fail.
It's good to see you all (or most of you) attempting to get this going in somewhat coordinated effort.
It IS the only way to beat the fire. If you don't want to work together on this, then you can flee and the building will burn down. That has its own repercussions for the group, but in the larger picture, not being able to work as a team would be the greater loss, as when you finally go to, and into the prison ruilns, it will be death if you're not a team, covering each other's weaknesses with your particular strengths.

If y'all want what cybersavant has suggested, you just need to tell me. Each needs to tell me, unless you 'elect' someone to make those decisions.

[SirRobertGerard]

Do you see the openings of that building that pratically touch the fires? 3 of us can stand at them and individually throw 3 buckets a round. Everyone else should reform the brigade and throw as well. Please click on the map and take a peek at that.

I'll be away from my computer this weekend.

[noozoo]

We already had an arrangement, but somebody left a big hole in it. I didn't see this post because it was not in context.

I think we need to move gradually, 5ft step, then we have a full round action to transfer buckets and such.

I'm about ready to give up. It's completely different doing this by text vs. in real life. It's also not my idea of a good adventuring time.

[Demilich]

Sounds like a good plan noozoo but, just like in real life, things dont always go as planned Hang in there a bit longer, soon, either we will be forced to give up on saving it, or be making good progress

[noozoo]

Thank you. I be hanging.

[Anodyzed]

I'll give Gilpher and Toren another day to play their turn. Tomorrow some time I will finish round 7.
You made progress this round. 2 down so far, and only 1 will grow back somewhere.

[noozoo]

It's clear that the bucket brigade is not very effective. We need to just grab buckets and throw them however we can...
