I guess I was suckered in by clockwork's offer that we could ask for boons earlier.
I won't make that mistake again, and so I probably won't be talking in character any more (unless it's really funny, or appropriate).
I'll try not to roleplay, and use the suggestions of the "DM" in the game.
I'll just post my actions, and not try to add any flavor to the Game.
I'll try to continue to send in my actions early, so that the Game is not slowed down by _my_ actions.
I request that everyone try to do that last part.
I'm saying that you shouldn't roleplay. I'm asking you to think about how much stuff your character is trying say. A couple sentences is fine, even if it does stretch believability a bit. However, it's stupid to spout entire paragraphs in 6 seconds. Think about stuff like Sending and Suggestion and try to keep things down to around 25 or 30 words.
Similarly, I think Diplomacy and such generally shouldn't be a option allowed in combat because it takes too long. d20 Modern has Diplomacy as AT LEAST a full round action. In spycraft, I think it takes 10 minutes. It doesn't happen instantly.
Berk seems to be more about methodically killing Jade than obsessively killing her. Reducing her saves by 8 is good start for any killing type magics. And why stop now since he's halfway done? Also, she's one of the few combatants with True Seeing up, and thus one of the most dangerous to him. Of course, I think Berk is focusing on you because you said earlier that he didn't like. So what?
If Jade is simply trying to survive, then she should forfeit and ask for a Planeshift out. It seems rather more likely that she's trying to buy time until Therron can show up and, with a little luck, shield bash Martok into bash.
So far, the people helped by the gods seem to have been characters with that advantage. You picked the cohort advantage. Therefore, I'd say that it isn't very reasonable to expect to get advantages for just yourself. Divine Intervention that affects all characters equally (or largely so) seems to the only thing characters without that advantage can receive. Maybe you could ask for resources expended or lost in the battle so far be returned. That'd be interesting. Of course, I doubt it would happen, since the gods seem to be about increasing the speed of the battle, rather than making things take longer by healing everyone up.
