Anyone else experiencing difficulty with imageshack today? I note that a couple of linked images that I'm storing on imageshack showed up just fine in the IC yesterday but today showing as the dreaded red-x boxes. A check of my account shows that I can't access any of my previously uploaded images (though, oddly, two of them must still be working just fine because I can still view them a linked images in the IC).
Apologies, but I therefore don't have a Round 4 combat map to post other than the thumbnail I'm working on editing in.
Nope, I didn't know a person can link to a thumbnail image. Interesting, thanks for sharing. The re-sized image leaves a little to be desired, though. Quick question--are you guys experiencing difficulty seeing which gridsquare you're in on the MS Paint maps I've been posting?
In WalkingDad's thumbnail link posted just above, for example, I can't see gridlines separating spaces K7, K8, and K9. On the original, I see them just fine and dandy.
It's a little hard to judge movement since the grid squares aren't all equal in size or shape but no, I don't have trouble seeing the grid lines the way you're describing on any of the posted maps.
How far off the mark do the grid squares that you're viewing appear to be from standard in terms of size and shape? I did the grid squares by hand, so they are not exact, but in my viewing utility the squares look almost exact in terms of "squareness."
If others aren't benefitting from a similar viewing experience, I'd like to know.
I can see the gridlines just fine in WD's image. And, while some of the images haven't had perfect squares, they have still been effective in conveying the lay of the land.
After three days at the Madison Regatta, I'm wiped. I work Monday morning and will next be posting in the IC Monday afternoon, maybe 2 pm-ish. Current plans are to resolve actions for Elyra and Grokk, then call for Round 6 (if the last goblin is still standing), then re-introduce Talashia.
My mum will be visiting us Wednesday and Thursday this week, so while I do not plan to neglect posting those two days, it may be sporadic.
I made a mistake in Round 5 and forgot to grant Sivan an attack with his reach weapon at the start of the round. I have amended my error (Sivan attacked but missed). I looked for a re-declaration post from Merlin's Shadow for Grokk but didn't see one, so rather than hold up combat another day, I simply used Elyra's stated action that she would set up a flank with Tac on Goblin2. Elyra missed with her longsword. Goblin2, however, was on fire and decided to flee north, prompting an AoO from Sivan, Elyra, and Tac. Sivan struck and hit, ending the combat.
We're therefore off initiative and done with combat. The general feel in the city right now is one of panic and fear. Most lay citizens will have gone home and locked their door. The Sheriff has called upon his volunteer brigade, who have standing instructions to report to the Sheriff's office at city hall in the event of an emergency.
What you guys decide to do for the moment is up to you. I'll be keeping up by reading along in the IC and posting as necessary. Shayuri, you should please re-include Talashia when feasible with the party. If, by the time you are able to get on ENWorld to post, the party has moved away from the public green or the Festival Square, a simple post from you stating that Talashia spots them and re-joins is probably all that is sufficient. We'll slightly metagame things to get you rolling again--ie: wherever the group is when you show up to post is where Talashia will spot and re-join them.
Please keep in mind that not everyone in the past two combats knows one another--some of you have yet to formally introduce yourself to the others. Happily, there is nothing quite like group combat to make strangers fast friends.
You can click on the bar of the re sized image to view it full size. O did you reduced the image as you put it into the thumbnail?
Yes, once I click to view the full image everything shows up neatly, just as it should (grid lines included). The smaller re-sized image doesn't show everything, however. ENWorld seems to want to re-size things, depending on the size of the file.
Regarding the original thumbnail that I posted in the combat, I didn't tell ENWorld to resize anything--I simply attached the .jpg to my post. Doing so results in the thumbnail.
I made a mistake in Round 5 and forgot to grant Sivan an attack with his reach weapon at the start of the round. I have amended my error (Sivan attacked but missed).
Just realized this makes it sound like I didn't give Sivan his attack but rather "fixed" my error by trying to explain things away. Not so--Sivan got his roll, he just rolled a 2. You all won't have known this, but you seem to have suffered a comedy of errors in the attacking department of late; I rolled a lot of 1s and 2s for you.

My compliments on reproducing the tabletop experience so accurately! If I didn't know better, I'd think you were using my dice.
Thought you guys might like to see a tidbit or two of some of the more interesting illustrated sidenotes in Paizo's Burnt Offerings module. By my best estimate based on what I'm reading in the IC, at least two of you have already read the module or own it, but for those of you who haven't I thought I'd share some of the module's amusements.
