Thank you, Bajasid! GM Archon also pointed that one out to me, so Addiz is perfectly OK with doing all of what she intended in one round. I'm really glad
that rule was pointed out to me! I don't know how I missed it...

Ooooh... great!
So this means that Tendang will be protected from this round on already... Strange, I also did read that specific ruling again, but did not find that particular passage. Now I saw it. Do not look to ' holding the charge' , but in the beginning of casting spells in combat, already. Weird. So Addiz' action is not 'holding the charge', according to RAW...
And I'm also glad that I did not let my FtF players off the hook too easily. They win each fight too easy anyway it seems, but then again we're all for the first time higher than 7th level (9th now!)). West, can you still edit the happenings of this round in your last post? thanks!

I owe you folks a post in a big way, and I'm hoping to get to it in the next couple days. By way of explanation for my extreme slowness of late, I'll
let you know that I am now gainfully employed and no longer a stay-home dad, since my youngest is now old enough for pre-school/daycare. In fact, we think
he's been really wanting to get with other kids his age, and judging by how well he's been doing over the past few weeks we have no regrets over our
decision.
Also, it's the end of tax season, and with my wife being an accountant it's a hectic time of year for everyone, especially when coupled with my new schedule. But tax season is nearly over, and I should be back to my usual nightly routine very soon, probably next week for certain. I won't be posting overall as often as I was before, but I should be able to maintain a 2x/week schedule anyway. We'll see if that holds true... If worse comes to worse, I'll likely try to pare down my posting schedule by bringing one of my adventures to an accelerated finish, though I don't think it'll come to that. Anyway, I apologize for the wait you've been forced to endure and I promise it'll get better real soon now.

I'm actually a stay@home dad myself, a demographic which seems to be overrepresented on this board. PbP fits well into a
schedule like ours with no alone time, but some free time scattered about the day. I'm somewhat jealous that you're returned to the workforce. I had
my return planned out...but then we decided to have a 4th kid instead. Now I'm several years out again...

I'm going camping this weekend and with the preparations I need to make over the next couple of days I won't be updating this adventure until after the
weekend. Sorry for the delay, folks!

Okay... so I've learned something now.
It is senseless to have two weapons in your hand when you don't have the two-weapon fighting feat. I didn't know, I was under the impression that switching weapons between hands was a free action, but it now appears to take a full-round action even! Bugger. Is it possible to 'sheath' the handcrossbow while it remains loaded and ready to fire (so she would be able to draw it and fire, as a move plus a standard action)? That would lessen the problem Addiz has (though with Keldorn dropping the gnoll, the immediate danger has passed). I just want to be able to switch between melee and ranged attacks relatively simple. What would be the best way to do that? The way she attacked now; I would not even have tried it.... She could possibly have switched weapons while hurrying after the gnoll previous round. But that would be unfair, since I was still wondering whether melee or ranged would have to be used after.

Sorry Addiz, perhaps I should have warned you ahead of time, but I didn't want to delay my post any longer and so I went with what you had posted. I'd
probably allow a switch between an empty hand and a 'weapon hand' as a free action with a DEX check vs. DC 10 or something like that, a failure of 4 or
less requiring a move action and 5 or more resulting in a dropped weapon. I required a full round action only because BOTH your hands have weapons in them,
and switching them in the middle of combat would have to be a difficult procedure, if you think about it.
Carrying a loaded hand crossbow seems dangerous to me, but possible I suppose. Don't forget the Quick Draw feat which allows you draw a weapon as a free action.

I do believe that Sol is returning in the next day or two, so I'll wait for him to post before moving things along. He has a few options open to him, so
I'd rather not NPC him unless necessary.

Urg. It's been nearly two months since Dayeinu's last post, and prior to that our Paynim friend had been posting extremely sporadically because of RL
responsibilities that has kept him very busy.
But it's difficult for me to NPC somone this often (and not much fun besides, as I like the player interaction) and I'm thinking that I'll find a way to write out Dayeinu in the next few weeks unless something happens to sway me otherwise. It's a difficult decision for me, as the player behind Dayeinu is a long-time friend, and this character in particular is as familiar to me as is Sol. But I suppose all good things must eventually come to an end. *sigh* Dayeinu, are you out there to try and change my mind for me?

I'll be writing out Dayeinu and Sol pretty soon, I've got an idea of how to do it nicely and yet give them an opening to join back with the group at a
later date, if either one rejoins us. For those of you who don't know, Sol had to take a hiatus because of RL issues. I'm hoping he rejoins us, but
even he's not sure when he'll be back.
The player behind Keldorn has been absent a couple of weeks. If he doesn't post in the next week or so I'll probably flag him then. I tend to reduce my minimum posting guidelines during the summer because of the annual slowdown this time of year. Still though, I expect to hear a word or two every now and again, even if there's a couple weeks between posts. We'll weather this as we always do, though.

Vacation... | ||

Hi everyone!
I'm going on vacation day after tomorrow. I'll be back.... August 4th. Please NPC Addiz as needed, though I guess the notorious 'slow season' is starting in earnest now. Cheers, Addiz's player Ruud

I guess Reinert has already used 9 points of healing today, so he has only 6 points left to use. He'll still use that upon himself next round if
applicable.

I owe you folks a post! Sick kids and a birthday this week has thrown me off schedule, but I hope to get back to posting tonight.

Just a heads-up, with a couple short vacations coming up, as well as some RL commitments keeping me busy, my posting will be very sporadic and far between
until the end of August. After that I should be back to my usual schedule.
Thanks! GM West

I'm back from vacation, but with the kid's school coming up and a sick toddler at home my posting time (and energy level) is scarce. I spent tonight
catching up my PCs, my adventures will follow this week. I promise something by the weekend for certain, but I'm thinking I won't be up to my usual
posting levels until the beginning of September, once I've gotten back into a rhythm again.
Sorry for the dreadful slowness. It won't last, I promise.
