Jimi watches Midgrim with a mixture of fascination and mild repulsion as he squelches around in the corpse of the spider. "Ah, I'll leave you to that, Midgrim. You... seem to know what you're doing..." He looks around the chamber. "Would anyone like to perhaps give me a hand with these cocoons...

Fear, anger, hunger, delirium from their severe wounds... maybe just plain bloodlust? The two remaining Gnolls continue to struggle for a moment, and the more severely injured of them begins to pant heavily before his eyes roll backwards and he collapses, his injuries no doubt finally catching...

Shuddering in revulsion at the sight of the hideous arachnid, still standing despite the crushing blow he has dealt, Jimi moves in to finish the wounded beast off with another swing from his flail. Attack 1d20+1, damage 1d6+1 = attack 13 (hits AC 6), damage 7...

The gnoll scowls, "You not attack...? Humans, pointy ears, scaled ones - some small with knife, some big with teeth, claws... attack in night, kill gnolls. Take things. Gold, treasures. We escape to woods, see many torches, many lights... more enemies coming." It's clear the creature has only a...

Not sure if this is up your alley but I've had a weird idea of running an old-school style game using just the Basic rules with old school 'classic' class/race/background combos, something like Fighter = human, fighter class, soldier background Cleric = human, cleric class, acolyte background...

Similarly, Jimi will look for an opening where he can swing his flail and try to knock the spider off MIdgrim's back. If there's any risk that he might hit Midgrim instead (flails not being the most... precise of weapons) he will forego his attack. Attack 1d20+1, damage 1d6+1 = attack 21 (hits...

"Ah, yes... you are saved. Glad we could help you. I believe they way behind us is clear, if you wish to escape." says Tock to the two celebrating figures. He turns to the halfling, and lowers himself on one knee to match his height. "And we would of course be glad to have your skills and...

The gnoll that has surrendered narrows it's eyes and snarls at Renestrae as she readies her bow, but doesn't take any hostile actions. "Grrrrwl... what you want?" the gnoll asks in betwen rasping breaths, "You kill gnolls in night... you and scaled ones... but now you not kill?" Meanwhile...

Recovering from his stumble, the gnoll raises itself up to his full height, and bares a mouth full of sharp, yellowed teeth as he snarls at Robert. As the beast advances on him, a well placed arrow from Renestrae finds it's mark in between the creature's ribs, and the gnoll staggers violently to...

Tock watches on on disbelief at the somewhat surreal display in front of him - Bartleby turning into a centipede and back, a cursed scroll that cannot be torn, and now the remaining insects transformed back into their original forms... he was aware of the existence of magic, of course, but had...

Jimi stutters "No, no... I meant, we set the webs on fire so the spiders would flee towards the kobolds... I don't know what I meant. Never mind." He sighs. Short tempers, these Dwarves.. "I have some spare lamp oil, if it's fire you want. Tell me what you need, and I'll do it." Diplomacy and...

[epicbob - two of the gnolls are alseep but the one next to you resisted the sleep spell, before taking 10 damage from Renestrae... and he's still engaged with you in melee. Do you still want to go and tie up the sleeping gnoll? A cheeky cantrip could probably drop the final gnoll.]

The gnoll facing Miri snarls at her as she weaves her spell, before his eyes roll back in his head and he slumps to the ground, asleep. Out of the corner of her eye Miri also spots the gnoll that Erevan had previously wounded go down as well - leaving just the one remaining gnoll, who sways...

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone - I've noted down who is happy for me to take their rolls for them. For combat, I would say either post in initiative order, or if you want to post early and 'buffer' an action until your turn arrives, that will work too - personal preference. If an...

"Wait a moment..." says Jimi quickly, "what's the plan here? We set the webs aflame to draw out the spiders... then make a run for it? Lure them to the kobolds? Is there some place between this corridor and the kobold's lair that we can draw them both to, and then retreat to a safe distance?"

From Erevan's position on the top of the hill he has an easy shot. He notices that one of the gnolls is hanging back from the other two, wheezing badly and holding his side with a bloodied arm. His arrow flies true, striking the gnoll in the chest - and the beast shrieks and staggers back...

INITIATIVE ORDER Erevan - full HP, inspiration Three gnolls - injured Miri - full HP, inspiration Renestrae - full HP Rolen - full HP Robert - full HP, mage armour, inspiration Kerri - full HP I rolled initiative for Kerri as dream66 has previous said they don't mind me rolling for them...

Quick question to everyone - are my posts getting too long and overly detailed for a play by post? I've mostly been waiting to hear actions from everyone then making a long post, often with different things happening to different players all at once. Is this a good way to do things, or should I...

"My goodness! Bartleby has been cursed too!" says Tock in an agitated voice. He gets down on his hands and knees close to where he can see the insects gathering. "Bartleby... Bartleby! Which one are you? Can you hear me? Can you understand me?" he asks, glancing at each centipede in turn.

Miri and Rolen take a closer look at the bodies, with Robert following. Thinking back to what Erevan said about an owlbear, Miri begins to wonder if perhaps it was some sort of animal attack that slew the gnolls and kobolds. Rolen points out that the wounds appear more like weapon injuries -...
