No offense on my part - and none meant toward you (or Blue either). I read your plan and liked it but had to conclude that Mal doesn't know what Blue is capable of, and since it wasn't posted as though he actually said it I didn't think it would be right to respond as though he had. I try not to take that stuff to absolutely silly extremes, but to me it's a valuable part of the RP.
I also wasn't really thinking in terms of game rounds when I posted up those three rolls - just in terms of when I'd be available to post again and not holding up the game. I'm not sure why that was a concern, as I work pretty hard to keep my "it'll happen in it's own good time" attitude firmly in place for PbP. For future reference, I will definitely not be offended if you interrupt a stated action - especially such a lengthy one - with a different idea. In fact, to me that's a great opportunity for a little role-play for our characters to get to know each other a little better.
When it becomes apparent to Blue that his stocky companion is about to try again to stick the grapple to the building, Blue snatches the rope from his hands in irritation . . .

If glances could really hurl daggers like that, Mal would surely be bleeding from a half-dozen lacerations. Blue snatches his rope back from the squat DaQan with an irritated grunt . . . . at times like this it was a struggle to keep Wolf civil. "I said I could use some help. Keep your ham-fists off my rope until I tell you what I need!"
