Well, I think it's time for a checkin. You guys have had a small amount of roleplaying, and gone through one reasonably major combat.
Thoughts?
Anything you particularly like, anything you particularly hate? Don't worry about kissing my butt, or hurting my feelings. I don't work that way. So long as you aren't saying something along the lines of 'j00 suk!1!', and can give at least reasonable detail (i.e. 'I really hate having to squint at tiny tiny print to find out how much damage is dealt!'), go nuts. And suggestions are always welcome. If you have an idea that you think could improve the game, by all means let me know.
And finally, what's your overall impression, so far? Are you enjoying yourselves?

Absolutely having a good time. Your descriptive text rocks.
You know, if you want to hide the rolls but not require squinting, you can use the sblock tags. It hides everything so the flow of description isn't interrupted (and in fact you can just NOT look at the rolls if you prefer). It looks like this:
[sblock]Spiffy hidden text that can even have formatting and stuff.[/sblock]

I agree with Jim... your flavor writing is very well done. And the story has been easy to folow, and combat actually resovled itself pretty quickly and easily, though that might be the case when your char is face down in the mud... LOL
I think the group is well put together, and that we will form a good group strategy sooner rather than later.
Everything is going smoothly as far as I can tell.

I don't see any hicupps. OW. Excuse me, I think I just got SHOT IN THE CHEST. I know, I know, blame the dice. 
But, other than that yeah, rock on man. Doing a bang up job as far as I can see. As for group strategy, that will come with time, one hopes. I'm already seeing the beginnings of one in just this combat
And just checking, am I taking a little too much poetic liberty with inborn innate arcane power thing? i.e, sparks across the knuckles, lightning danicing off fingertips, etc. I don't want to step out of line with that sort of thing.

Okay good, glad you guys are enjoying yourselves. Feel free to let me know here too, of course, if you get any ideas for suggestions or improvements. : )
Sorrow, by all means keep up the flavour text. And this goes for all of you. The more embellishing you guys do, the better. Just keep in mind I may have to temper things a little when it comes to how it actually affects the game. (An example of this is how Sorrow wrote about laughing into his assailant's eyes as he collapsed. Now, that's perfectly fine, and great writing--but unfortunately didn't fit the situation, because he couldn't see that enemy. So I just added a quick description in my own post afterwards mentioning that.) So, as long as you're okay with that--go nuts! If I ever feel the need, I'll give you guys a gentle reign-in here in the OOC thread.
Jayaint, a caution. If you still intend to take the Sacred Fist PrC, I strongly recommend you take another careful look at its prereqs--particularly since you have chosen Improved Grapple over Stunning Fist.
Voadam, the similarity in names can be fixed if you'd like--relatively easily in a PbP game. You can give him a new name, and just edit you char above, and each of your posts, changing the name for them using Find & Replace. I would then do the same in each of my posts as well, and then your companion's name will sort of 'always have been' that way!
(I ran into a similar problem with my OpenRPG campaign btw; a new NPC female paladin had a mount I named Darren, and one of the chars was already named Darwin. The game tended to get interrupted briefly with ooc chatter whenever I would say something like "Yanina mounts Darren and..." I finally just changed the mount's name to Warren...: )

Oh, and one more thing, in case it's not clear. I want you guys to post at least once a day, ideally. But you're not limited to once. You could post ten times in one day, going back and forth with some IC conversation between chars, if you'd like. And feel free to post strategy ideas, plans, whatever here in the OOC thread.
Again, go nuts. And above all, have fun! : )

Thanks for the heads, up, Indy. However, as I look more completely at my "future character" and the choices he might face... I don't think it is going to fit quite as well as I orignally thought. Though I was glad to be made aware of it. If I come up with any other "brilliant" build-ideas... I'll be sure and let you know well in advance.
