...or at least I thought I did.
Anyway congrats to Defcon - that combat went swimmingly well I though.

Heh... you needn't worry, Digger... I got your back! I read the javelin throw previously and knew that was our starting point for the combat. But as stonegod said... it ain't over yet! LOL!
BTW folks... just so you all know how I'm ruling it... descending the staircases are like moving over regular squares... however ascending any staircases will be considered difficult terrain (i.e. 2 squares of movement to go 1 square).
Once stonegod has Dorn go this evening, and then I plug in Insight's round, I'll move us back to the top of the initiative order. Everybody feel free to edit your Round One actions based upon what has happened already and what you expecting will probably occur in the few spots ahead of you.
Oh yeah! And finally... if any of you want to do your own rolling on Invisible Castle (as some of you already have)... that's cool with me. I'm more than happy to roll for you, but if you prefer to see how you do and like to roll your own, I'll just plug your rolls into your spot in the order. However, bear in mind that I'll use the rolls you post even if your action ends up having to change because of what occurs ahead of you (like what happened this time with Tregar, where I used his rolls against the first orc that Henry ended up killing, and plugged them into the secondary target).
Which means if you think you might end up wanting to change some decisions based upon marks, flanks, and statuses that occur before you in the order, don't bother rolling the dice until I've gotten a chance to post everything that occurs up to your point. Just put a placeholder post that says you're waiting for the update, that way I know to write everything out and change the map for you so you can be fully updated to make your decision.
Thanx folks!

Are we going in post order or init order? Just checking, because you mentioned we might in the ooc thread, but we've been going by init order thus far.

Not sure, but I'd assume init order (else that wouldn't really matter right?).
P.S. I hope I gave you a breather Evo
P.P.S - anyone else think it's weird that a half-orc might be the best monk of the path they haven't revealed (Str-based) as they get the +2 Str/Dex...just odd to me.

I'm posting people in initiative order, but if folks believe their actions will not change or be predicated on what happens during the PC's turns before them, I'm okay with you all posting early. Just bear in mind though that if what you posted earlier still makes sense for the most part when your turn comes up, I'll probably use what you've already done (making small tweaks as necessary), rather than wait on you to "edit" your post once the people in front have gone. Unless of course your action was rendered completely useless, in which case I'll probably post up until your action so you can edit.
But I think for the most part, whatever attack actions you post will usually still be effective.
It's for this reason that for any game I DM, I use the "maximum of 18, including racial bonuses" house-rule. Because that way, every race can have a highest score in their primary stat (although for those who have 'off-stats', they'll just not have as many points left over for their secondary or tertiary abilities).
