Hope you get your cable connection back in a timely manner. I don't think anyone'll go anywhere if it ends up taking you a while, though. I know I'm happy just to be a part of the game, real life and all.

Back online for the moment.
Kafkonia, you're up!
Still getting a feel for how to keep things flowing. I think I want to try something. Instead of treating initiative as a strict order, let actions occur in the order that players post, so long as they don't go before the enemy. So if we have
PC A
PC B
PC C
Enemy
PC D
A-C can go in the order they post, but D has to wait until the enemy goes. Of course, once the enemy has acted once (assuming there is only one enemy init), everyone can go in any order, once each before the next enemy action.
Do feel free to do your own rolls with invisible castle.
So, I'll go ahead and resolve your actions Fenris2, and your elemental appears on your next action Doorgath.

I like the proposal, as if i recall correctly no one of us has tried to maximize initiative.

What with the time difference between Hawaii and the mainland, I'll probably end up posting after everyone else, which means that Peja will usually go last on initiative. I'm okay with that as long as he still gets a turn in there somewhere. I think his Dex is an 11, so he really ought to be last anyway. 
You're Canadian, Kafkonia? I was born in BC, in the Kootenays. Lived in northern Alberta after that. My folks are American. Canada recognizes dual citizenship but I had to declare US when I got my security clearance for the US military. I served a few years then got out when we had our first child. I'm in Hawaii with my family because my husband is in the US Navy. We live on the beach, which is super, but I still find that I miss the cold and the snow.

Psion, I need to ask before I post for Peja...the remaining five undead, are they turned or did the turning attempt versus these five fail? I was about to post that Peja tries to whack the one nearest him with his undead bane quarterstaff, but if they're turned then I don't want to do that and will need to come up with something else. Please don't feel rushed to reply (it's New Years and your internet went on the fritz recently)--I'm not in a hurry to post.

Thanks, that is what I thought but I wanted to be sure before I posted.
While I'm here, I'll go ahead and express to you that I don't care if you don't trouble yourself to link to dice rolls where Peja is concerned. I trust you to do either 1.)the honest thing and rule according to your dice rolls or 2.)in cases where you want or need the story to go a certain way, to make it so behind the scenes. I'm happy to hear description saying how Peja's efforts went and seeing an exact number on how much damage he did, what he saved at, etc, is still valuable because it will help me in feat and spell selection later on, but I don't need to see "proof" of a roll. If it's taking you longer with your slow connection to link to invisible castle, then it's pretty okay with me if you leave that part off. I'm also okay with you just rolling a die from wherever you post and using the die roll result to adjudicate the action. Don't know how others feel, but that sums it up for me.

Also...as I don't have a map I don't know how to place the the flaming strike, so place it as you wish.
