Realising his mistake too late, Carad grunted in pain as he felt what seemed like hundreds of pierced his skin. Pulling out a torch, Carad gave quick wave of his hand and uttered some words of power and the torch immediately lit up. He then dropped it at his feet, hoping the sudden flames would...

"Without light, let me take the front then," Carad suggested to Hunter in response. "But I'll keep close - I would need your support." I suggest Carad takes point then with his dark vision, but with Hunter just 5 ft behind.

Eureka! Think I figured it out. The dice roller doesn't seem to like titles with multiple words. Tested 5 dice rolls with one-word titles each which came up find. But 5 dice rolls with multi-word titles each crashed them. Fantastic! Now I can get back to work... :)

3rd test of 5 dice rolls with long titles [roll0] [roll1] [roll2] [roll3] [roll4] [edit: Seems like the dice roller crashes when the dice rolls have multi-word titles or perhaps long titles. I suspect that each post has a maximum variable storage length, which includes the dice rolls.]

Sighing to himself, Carad sent back, "Yes, you may catch one of two while you wait. Don't gorge yourself though. We still have a long night, and the last thing I need is for you to get too heavy." Turning back to the party, Carad shared, "Scree has reached the end of the tunnel and waits for us...

Yes, vengeance on all dragons! Ok, will do that. Good point - there's really no need to label the dice roll anyway within. Just 'cos I'm curious, I just tested 5 dice rolls at the metathread with titles and sblock with titles, and came up fine. Ahh, this is bugging my debugging instincts.

2nd test of 5 dice rolls with title and sblock [roll0] [roll1] [roll2] [roll3] [roll4]

Trying so hard not to metagame what colour the dragon here at Greenest is. ;) @hafrogman, I encountered some difficulty with dice rolls in my latest post. Saw the dice meta thread that you were testing 4 vs 5 dice rolls in one post. Thought that was it, but I tested also over there, and the 5...

Seeing the tunnel, Carad sends to Scree, "My pet, it is time to go." With that Scree hopped off his perch and flew to join the party, startling a few keep residents as he unerringly flew down the stairways and passages into the cellar. Carad took up position at the side of the grate, nodding to...

I guess this is not super critical, but just out of curiosity, and perhaps to flesh out the story, what kind of dragon attacked Black Tide? Blue?

Carad, as usual, merely nodded in reply and followed the party as they descended to meet the castellan. He paused briefly though, thinking of the exchange between Venn and the governor, and looked up into the sky once again. "First fire, now lightning," he muttered under his breath, "Just like...

Breaking himself out of his musings, Carad turned to face the party. "I agree, the temple should be the first priority. It would be a natural place for the villagers to take refuge." Glancing briefly at Jeni, he added, "And we can't allow such desecration to a house of worship."

"And any way out of the keep other than through the front gates?" Carad suddenly chimed in. "They would certainly be watching there." Seemingly unaware of his sudden interruption, he then turned to look out again at the town with a worried frown, especially to the south, as Scree silently...

Haha, no worries about this. Carad, as you would have noticed from his Charisma, is not exactly a very sociable person. A result of the explicit and implicit ostracizing he encountered in his younger days, and the many years of travelling by himself. So I am RPing him that way. :-)

Quick question. Should we be tracking our ammo? In case this night stretches on... and on... and on... :-)

As the governor approached the party, Carad allowed himself to slowly retreat to the back of the party, leaving the conversations for those more eloquent than him. Although eager to find out what had been happening, his natural reticence to speak with strangers held him back. Instead, he...
