Okay, didn't want to clutter the IC thread.

Holy Man, I don't know if I'm not communicating effectively or if we're just disagreeing on what constitutes "an action."

Aria's doing something, y'see. She's not just jabbering. She's trying to determine which spot the lantern we have should be hanging from. Now, if her approach is for some reason ineffective, fine...but please tell me what the results of her action is, even if the result is "for some reason you can't figure it out from what you're doing."

And if there's something I should do in the future to sort of highlight the fact that I'm narrating an action that I'd like resolution for, and not just futzing around, let me in on that so we don't have to ride this merry-go-round again.

 

[HolyMan]

Yes than I am mistaken then. You will have to hit me over the head with what it is you are trying to do it seems.

I thought I gave a result/slash answer to where the lantern goes. Zeke took it up and said he compared it to the other "blue" one. Since the info wasn't sblocked it would have been related to everyone, that it is indeed darker.

Also fitd made a comment about only missing the red lantern. Didn't that answer your post like I thought?

But basically I was trying my best to figure out what your character would do as everyone checked over the room and came up empty. I know little of the characters so far and need to see them played to better determine actions (within actions) for them later on. Your character I thought quiet and a watcher that wants to help but doesn't know much about this sort of thing.

that was why the...

She wasn't sure but was determined to become more help in the future.

Sorry Shayuri didn't mean to play the character a way you weren't taking them.

Ahh, I think I see the crossed wire, and it looks like I was the one mistaken. A mea culpa is in order. For some reason, and with the clarity of hindsight I am not able to articulate what that reason is, I interpreted that description of Aria and her lack of action as a dig. A kind of semi-friendly message from the GM that I hadn't done enough with her, and that she was being useless so could I please get the lead out?

Hence my unusually defensive reaction.

My apology for the uncalled for misinterpretation. You haven't shown yourself to be the sort of person who'd do something like that. I suppose it was my own guilty conscience fueling it since the truth is that I could have been doing more with Aria, and have been a bit slack lately.

Anyway, back to posting, and hoping this embarrassing episode can slip away into the shadowy realm of memory quickly.

Umm... what were talking about?

Oh, Nevermind back to the dungeon

just throwing in here: I thought about the weekly updates, but that's slow for what we're trying to do. By slow I mean slower than normal for pbp. Glacially slow. Geologically slow. Consider it: 1-20th or so campaign and we're at 1st level. it takes a long time in RL games, not to mention pbp.

Even fast-rate posting, we're talking ten years of pbp here and maybe then not completing anything.

But remember I will be gutting half the adventure to help move things along. If you all post up faster I will update to that pace. By weekly I mean that even upon hearing nothing from everyone in the group I will move the adventure forward.

We can try it this way to start nothing says that if a few months everyone has more time than we will post up quicker and three years from now we need to go a little slower than we are now. Just want you to know if I advance it there may not be a way for you to go back, but I'll try not to do that as much as possible.

Figure this isn't meta-gaming to bad as your characters can tell that the swarm is slow and small.

Swarms get no AoO's for you moving around them. Just thought that might help with some of your upcoming choices.
