[sblock=Rules]Welcome to the game! Action can begin now. My biggest thing is post rate. I expect at worst 48 hours from my posts for your own, especially during combat. Sometimes I may take an extra day, but usually I try and let you know. PbP adventures can really wither with slow posting (as I'm sure you have all experienced) so I'll NPC after 48 hours, usually asking for actions from one of the players, and then only using at-wills. I know Christmas/holidays are coming up so obviously we'll have a disruption to posting around then (I'm going to be off work between Christmas and New Years so expect my own rate to drop) and I definitely know RL comes first so if you have something going on, just give some notice and we'll work with it, whether that's us NPC'ing for a week or two, or whatever, I just want everyone to have fun. So...I think that's it. Oh, wait. re: immediate actions. They can be a real pain in the patella for PbP due to have to retroactively shift things. My ask is that you post a list of them in order of preference and I'll use them as is. Worst case I'll try and PM before posting a round update to confirm if two of them may be used. It worked out well in Tenchuu's Lord Byron adventures with the Prescient Bard and his million or so immediate-type powers Ex: http://www.enworld.org/forum/5355789-post391.html <- see Wil's Stat Block.

Full character sheet[/sblock] Feel free to make your own rolls, linking to Invisible Castle or some other place for the result. For some rolls, I'll take 10 for you most of the time. Please post your speech and thoughts in your character's color, using italics for the latter. I prefer players who post about once a day, and I will NPC or write out characters who are inactive for short or long periods of time. OOC text should be in grey, like this or in sblocks.

Have fun![/sblock]

[sblock=A thanks for stonegod]
Just giving sg props for the above set-up, shamelessly copied by me[/sblock]

Shamus leads you out of the Hanged Man turning before you go, "Anyofya need to make any last minute purchasing now's the time. We ain't got much that'd be of use to you types." the man says, then says "Oh, don't know if I caught allofyer names? I know Kay-e-sari, Tarkus, and I think I heard the dark-skin say Damen or sumthing much longer, but the restofya I ain't fer knowing what to call ya?"

[sblock=ooc]
Ok, so you're obviously heading out of Daunton so anything you need, now's the time Huntingdonshire probably won't have a fully stocked Magic Emporium, or even a weapon/armorsmith...we'll move forward with the IC thread either later today or tomorrow depending on everyone. Oh, and if you have a token for Maptools for me to use, that would be excellent.

Oh yeah, finally, maybe you can come to a marching order arrangement now, and we'll use that for any travel (unless you change it) to speed up decision making. I'll roll with what the majority agree to.

[Mewness]

"Didn't I already say? Maybe not. I'm Papolstaanas. Do we need horses for something? Because I don't know how to ride. At least I don't think I do. Is it difficult? I might be able to do it if it's really easy, or if it's anything like swordfighting, because I've studied that a bit, only I don't see why it would be anything like swordfighting, because that doesn't really make sense, does it, I mean a horse is nothing like a sword, and you don't even hold it the same way--"

OOC: If anyone needs a non-judge approval let me know and I'll try to get to it. Papolstaanas still needs one.

[Iron Sky]

Phoenix follows, moving up to walk astride with the farmer. In a crisp business-like manner she barrages him with questions. "There is more that I would know. How often are these raids? What have people seen? Do nearby villages report the same? What evidence is left behind? What or who do they target? Is there a pattern to when they come?"

OOC: Are ooc blocks ok or do you prefer

Damen follows idly, pulling his coat collar up at the bright sun. He smiles a tight smile for the farmer. Damen will do just fine, good man. Just fine. He thinks for a moment and adds, Horses, I do not think we have.[sblock=Damen]Damen Bane—Male Drow Thief 6
