For the record I thought the OOC tactics comments were for when the characters have established themselves into a more coherent team. Again this not being the best way to get to the "meat" of what a person means when they post up an idea or comment. But I thought before we had said or just commented on having a few fights where the group doesn't act like a team and through this learns how to fight using each others strengths and weakness? This is only the third combat they have seen together...- fought a bunch of thugs who had 11AC and where attacking to subdue (not much you can learn of your companions there).- fought 1 zombie (out of a d3) that lasted two rounds so again not much to tell.- and now Jack - who btw is not part of this adventure at all - just an add in to the bestairy and a way to up the XP as I found out you all need to hit level 4 by the end of this module so I threw him in thinking 5 on 1 would last two or three rounds and be over, but now am hoping for a little thorn in are resident tengu's side for a few levels to come.So if the team isn't working together as it looks like from all the character's perspectives then after this fight would be the perfect time to discuss IC a few tactics. Also keep in mind what your characters knows/have seen. When I hear "Marshan nearly laughed because of the electricity attack" and you post nearly every demon is immune to electricity that may not be something he (Marshan) knows, so you (SK) could have added undo tension by posting something based on what you know. And when I see someone holding a grudge from something that happened to their character after the character has been posted "walking it off". Then this to needs to be separated out when it comes to the game as there are other people involved trying to just have fun. To hold back on what the character is going to do IC because of the feelings of the player is not good RP.          You didn't truly read that or again misunderstood the "meat" of what he was saying. SK was following my instructions to post up first come first to attack. To say he was selfish or impatient to follow the DM's instructions is totally wrong.This is selfishness here. From the player, as I'm sure Firvin would want to help and bring the creature down asap before it kills someone.I took SK's advice as not how to play Firvin but as how to play a bard. Firvin is yours to decide on. SK was letting you know some of the best reasons to get inspired courage started and keep it going. Now the "don't not do anything there is always an option" comment may be taken as telling you how to play Firvin. As Firvin might be the kind of character who likes to observe and then add in a strike when she thinks the time is right or some other little quirk, who knows still figuring out character personalities here. SK doesn't know surely if you don't have it all figured out and you should be adult enough to let comments like this pass without comment.Only 4 hours passed in the IC not sure what you were looking for. Other players actions? I'm confused there. Everyone was doing what their characters would do - exactly how it should be.I will say it. Although he did ask for SK to please stop at the end, so there is that little bit of civility. But being upset about the post from the IC with the sheriff I think is causing the animosity. And the still waiting on an apology from SK.Well from where I sit SK is waiting for an apology from you perrinmiller.HM</blockquote>
