((I really have to ask, I logged on briefly this morning after work and come back five hours later to have over page an a half post and combat started. Let some of us catch up. Please. ))

[sblock=OOC]So, I was sitting here at work doing some of the mindless things that I do on a regular basis (and that allow D&D ideas to filter through my back mind) when I suddenly had a flash:
EDIT: I added a d6 roll to my previous post where the attack took place, if it isn't too late to add it.[/sblock]
I should have rolled sneak attack damage!Aldern Foxglove said:

Zelena calls forth the moon's blessings upon the party.
[sblock=Songdragon]I appreciate the problem, its hard to strike a balance between letting everyone get a chance to RP, etc., and keeping the game at the kind of fast pace I prefer - and I hope a few others enjoy to.
One of the things I am very wary of is decision making in PBP which can become interminable so i tend to go as soon as I feel there is a reasonably backed consensus. With the Croaker's, well, a fight was nearly inevitable. I encourage you to RP during the combat in this case, and generally infact.
Maybe you could specify what you feel you have missed out on so I have a clearer picture of how to handle things in the future? Was it that we leapt into combat, that you missed out on RP, that you wanted to participate further in the decision making?[/sblock]

Should have spotted it myself, I have no problem with you adding it in and I've edited my response post accordingly - you dropped him btw.[/sblock]

[sblock=Posting Speed]I think I know exactly what Songdragon is upset about. I had this same issue in another game(not [MENTION=25773]EN[/MENTION]W) 3 weeks ago. She is our face character and stated the intention of doing the talking. She never had a chance to do so and I would be upset too if it were me in her shoes as well. 
Keep in mind that weekends are slower for most people and this happened on a Sunday, usually the slowest day of posting at EnWorld. Yesterday (Saturday evening in the US) we received the DM update for seeing the Croakers. Several of us posted brief reactions, probably waiting for Zelena to do the talking and catching up on Mystic Pearl business. Then the next DM update came about 20 hours RL later with something directed at her specifically that I expect she would have liked to respond to.
After Fury's post, the combat initiation post came only one hour RL later. So in the span of 21 hours (on a weekend) we went from seeing the scene advance to combat without everyone possibly getting a chance to respond.
This is what I meant about throttling it back from the breakneck pace we had in Buyer's Remorse so we can enjoy the ride with more player interaction. With time zone differences some people are not going to have an opportunity to even read a DM scene update if we don't wait at least 24 hours RL some times, more so on the weekends. Personally I only have a 3-4 hour window to post on Saturday and Sunday evenings in Japan and all too often people start posting about an hour after I turn in for the night.
As it stands, I have yet had the opportunity to roll Initiative for Borric in any combat in both adventures. But that's not a complaint, just an observation to illustrate how things go due to the time zone differences. I have previous said, that I would prefer the DM roll that to keep from holding things up.[/sblock]Borric chuckles as the inevitable hostilities break out, "Well so much for using words, let's settle this with steel then!"
He steps up behind Zelena and pulls out a chakram with his right hand to send the whirling blade spinning at Lorenzo. Unfortunately the weapon misses and Borric mutters a curse while he grips his guisarme again with two hands.[sblock=Actions]Free Action: Talking and draw chakram
Move Action: Move to N-7.
Standard Action: Ranged Attack on Lorenzo: Chakram (1d20+5=9, 1d8+3=5)

As Borric's chakram clatters against the wall before falling to the street the Croaker's surge forward! The two remaining move up to Fury drawing notched, but gleamingly sharp, longswords as they do leaving their shields slung upon their backs for the moment. Fury easily dodges one blade, but is skewered by the second!
Laughing evilly as his boys move forward Lorenzo the Basterd launches himself across the planks at fury letting out a whoop of bestial joy as he charges and producing a great flachion that looks almost more like an elongated cleaver! The great blade rings loudly as it skitters across the former guardsman's scale mail.
"No way! We've got ourselves a fecking white cloak to cut up boyz!" He cries gleefully.

Fury takes the cut from the heavier blade with little more than a stoic grimace. Facing off against two of the Croakers he ain't got time to bleed and does his best to deflect the attacks of the gangers. When he sees an opening he thrusts...

Falkner bellows out a challenge* "Is that all you've got?" before dropping his crossbow and drawing his sword.
With a flourish he lashes out at Lorenzo the Bastard!

Fury stabs one foe in the shoulder eliciting a string of expletives.
"Feck me you are so useless you must work for Handso!" Lorenzo taunts Falkner as his blade swipes through the air a good two feet from the Croaker.
