D&D 5E [5e] QL's Al-Qadim Game

[tglassy]

I don't want to leave the game. I realize I may just not have been playing Harun well. He bucks the system, gets into trouble. I should revel in that instead of shy from it.

So, from now on, I expect Harun to be more vocal and mischievous. I've never played a purposefully mischievous character before. Could be fun.

And that water skin is mine.

You used the wrong kind of brackets.

I was wondering what happened with that [MENTION=6814006]Thateous[/MENTION] ... it's why I prefer coyote code (although it can be a bit fiddly too)

I didn't miss anyone's posts, just a rare case of simultaneous posting.

Generally, I find using www.coyotecode.net or www.orokos.com to roll dice makes for a cleaner less cluttered thread. I understand why using ENWorld's built-in roller is appealing for folks writing from a mobile device, but it does necessitate posting without knowing the results of your check & often posting a followup post to summarize damage / results.

You used the wrong kind of brackets.

I also think that editing it to the right brackets mucked it up somehow.
I actually prefer Orokos because it saves all my rolls under the profile to view later. I started with coyotecode and switched to Oro sometime earlier this year. Unfortunately I can't go to coyote or Orokos here in the desert like I could back in the states, so unless I'm in my room on my own internet I will have to use the enworld roller.

On a side note, sorry for the short post about casting bless, I was half way to deep sleep town and saw it was my turn. Just wanted to keep the ball rolling and not have you guys wait 9+ hours while I dream of not being in a 3rd world country...

Yeah, and to make matters worse, sometimes I use one, sometimes the other. Probably better to just buckle down and use one. It's a convenience sometimes to just throw the code down and not bother with going to a site and so on...but I'll stick with outside rollers now. It does make things easier to narrate.

You can't edit a roll. It won't let you, to keep you from cheating. It's why I do a new post when I mess up.

We work with what we've got. Are you traveling for work [MENTION=6814006]Thateous[/MENTION] or stationed over there?

Btw, how did this first major combat feel for everyone? Did the pacing feel right and my way of handling initiative/rolls/rulings feel about right? On paper, it was an "easy" encounter with a CR 13 homebrew pyrohydra – did it feel like a suitably challenging "warm up" combat to get a feel for your PCs? Were the few things I ad libbed - tail attack at 50% HP and boiling water near death – received in the spirit of making a solo fight more interesting (and not "oh, that rascally DM is cheating")?
