HM's Carrion Crown AP - CT

[perrinmiller]

Yeah, I use spoiler blocks to keep things clean. OOC threads are good for keeping these kind of discussions from cluttering the IC action (saving us from having to go back too far to look things up). From LPF, I have found I prefer having a separate OOC thread, but even when you do have one, people tend to post OOC only content anyway. But I think everyone here has been good about not doing that so far.

Until now, I reserved judgement on the separate CT and I have found the one thing I really dislike about it. We are in a holding pattern waiting on the DM to summarize the action in our role-playing thread when we are all ready to go without needing it (since we all know what happened already). This is why I haven't posted IC for Firvin.

My style works well with having combat in the primary IC thread, so I don't feel a need for a separate thread, myself. I always write the role-playing version anyway, putting mechanics into a spoiler block, as a DM and as a player. You all (well, maybe not SK) have seen the result of my style's evolution with my LPF game. In fact because the CT is not really role-playing, I haven't been writing much IC content for that reason, normally I would be posting as I do with Borric and Ariel.

Bottom line, I agree with GlassEye for the most part, but I will go with the flow if HM wants to keep using it. I can keep track of multiple threads (multiple scenes too). I think the CT works well when certain players only provide posts with mechanics during combat. I know of several players that do that, but this crew doesn't have them, so I think we can run combat in the IC thread and leave it clean (all OOC content in spoiler blocks) with people writing IC content describing their character's actions.

BTW, I am not bashing HM (or Thanee either) for this idea. It has its place for certain groups of players. I just don't think it is needed for us.

And right after I post here, the IC summary is up.

...but I will go with the flow if HM wants to keep using it.

I should have expressed this sentiment earlier but I didn't think of it. I'm also willing to continue with the separate threads.

Firvinianna tries to see what is moving in the dark. Despite being fatigued, she reacts pretty quickly.

OOC: Sorry I'm going to rush this post but I need to leave for work in 22 minutes. Standard zombie - AC: 12 HP: 12 No map needed it is 30' away and even if it beats everyone's INIT (which I doubt) it will only get to move forward. So everyone should just take a turn. I hope to end this little combat before tomorrow night so it can be added to this months XP. If it survives round one (which I also doubt) I will allow for flanking next round. Going to roll INIT but truly party is up.

Hmm... INIT order

Firvin
Toddy
Gergori
Zombie - Move only(will draw AoO from Toddy if he readies an action)
Halál
Marshan

Firvinianna Laali, Half Drow Elven Sorceress

Firvinianna trecognizes it as a zombie and identifies the creature, "That is a zombie. It moves slow and can absorb some damage unless you use a slashing weapon."

She casts a cantrip, Disrupt Undead, but the ray misses. She backs up to keep some distance from her to the walking dead.
