I hereby dub this the out of control thread, and concur with you both. I have missed Donato's withering put-downs for Jiao, and hope he posts again soon
If he doesn't return soon enough. Maybe we can keep him in reserve. If he is sick in real life, make Donato come down with some kind of fever. Life on the road is tough for a Zingarian noble (-2 con).
We can leave him shivering and sweating in the back of the wagon, with a little luck he may recover and live.

Read the Culture: and to quote
elishtim seem to breed more adventurerers and wanderers more than any other meadow shemite.My mother was an adventureing type that found herself living and breathing in lands of the Mero. and The Yuetshi people.
Uttaru Kuru does not exist yet, at least no books have been printed on it.
but their country is the most likely birthing spot of the Yimsha casters.
and their always at War with Vendhya.
Why I didnot learn Shemish As a boy I was raised in the acadmeys learning my Fathers spells of nature he had learned before me, and his father before that.I learned the language of the Yuetshi people at the Academy and was surpriseingly a well spoken language amoung the Uttaru Kuruvians.
Then one day amoung those banks where vegetation grown around the oasis meets the blistering hot sands of the desert plains the Elephant Riders of Vendhya invaded us.I was rushed by my Mother to "Shamballah". and never seen her or my Father again.
But that didnot stop the Vendhyans they followed my Mother for days, and never seeing her to know her fate I was captured and taken to Vendhya a prisioner bound to work the Lotus Farms.
Thus I learned their language as for the fact I spent over 20 years under their care and under their whip.
When fineally, I was able to break my bonds and slay my Jailers I escaped to Zamora and the city of Shadizar.
here is where I met Oles who took me in and cared for my injurys left by the Jailers whips.Living under his roof and working a now free man I learned Zamoran.
14 and 15 is +2 surely I can learn Shemish haveing maybe some knowledge of words from my Mother. But will take time and someone speaking it to me.But for now leave languages as not part of any changes you make. I appreciate it=) and thanks for the welcome.

Conflict, don't you just love it ? So Jiao throws her dagger at the bird what small chance she has of hitting it I roll a dice and bang, it's a crit. Were into massive damage rules from a 1HD bird. I am thankful she didn't go for the caster, In the past I have had a character death before the character sheet is finished and I don't want to repeat that here!!!!!
Then I have the npc try to bring things back on track, and that is when people start making them sense motive rolls, oh dear me.
And while I'm typing up one entry Tofu comes on an slips a post in just before mine.....
Life as a D.M.

Post your actions on the game thread like Jiao did, I'll work through the mechanics and write up the results, I'm back at work too so I have to wait to I get home to roll stuff. I would like to keep all mechanics off the game thread if posible, this thread is a better place, but do we need to know every dice roll ? I hope to roll these things out and then post the results in narrative form letting people decide what to do as much as possible, that way we get through combats in something like reasonable time.
naw, just a description of the results are good enough for me.
we discussed some of your plans for handling combat, but i believe it was a private discussion so, i'll re-hash it here with some of my own imput.
as we can't count on more than one post a day from most of us (and as i return to 12 hour workdays this tuesday, that may even be too much for me) and requiring a post for every round of combat will take way too much time.
you have our stats, so you can roll for a number of rounds of combat and describe them in the game.
what I suggest, to keep our characters' actions in line with how we would likely act in a tradional round based game, is that we each send you a combat strategy guidline.
that is, we discribe how our characters would naturally react to different combat situations (one, a few, or many foes / armoured / unarmoured / etc.)
Booya, for example, an experienced gladiator will favour different weapons in varying circumstances.

How the first combat went OOC
Initiatives
Kiddnapper Jiao Treyon Tofu
28 24 11 13
Kidnapper readies himself (spot 22) for seeing Treyon moving in, disengages from his grapple with Jiao
Jiao makes fort save so is allowed an attack 5pt damage *crit*
Tofu listen 14 spot12 (following his posted reactions)
Treyon attack no weapon 6 damage
Booya and Oles (arrive at start of round two) initiatives
23 28
d6 between Oles and Kidnapper Oles wins
Oles rushes and misses
Kid CRITS Treyon for 8 damage
Booya hits with sabre 8
Jiao makes fort save attack roll just, misses
tofu casting spell (following comments in thread)
treyon does 6 unarmed
Next round, oles and kidnapper dice off Oles wins again
Oles sword hit 10pts game over
Jiao makes fort save to remain awake.
Since some people are curious about the dice rolls......
So I wrote a paragraph for each round as a bit of an experiment, I'll probably spend a bit of time looking at the write up and seeing how to improve it hopefully before the more serious combats that might occur next week.
