(OOC) Fitz's Folly (ToA PBP)

[FitzTheRuke]

Me too. But I was referring to moving on without him. I'd expect to be skipped after a week.

Oh I getchya. Yeah, I've been waiting, but the next time I get the chance to move forward, I will. I hope he comes back before then, though.

So...

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Oh! Hey, sorry guys. I've been busy with Rise of the Dracolich and home stuff. I keep hoping EB will show up, too. I *will* roll the round over soon, though. Just haven't had the time yet. Bear with me.

Did Artus say something? It could be decisive for Chrysagon.

He will, he was still recovering. I'll have to get to it in the morning, though.

Sounds like an initiative roll-off?

I am doing my best to avoid PvP here. I do not want it.
If it comes to initiative, Miss Imogen is on 18 (IC post 999), and she has a reaction prepared, which you have seen is intended to avoid PvP.

With respect to IC 1015 -
* I do not understand "I have done no such thing." See your post IC 1002, where Harb attacked Miss Imogen.
* The reference to secrets was only going to be said if Harb backed down. He didn't, and so that would not have been said. I am sorry if my post was not clear enough on that.

Nor I. But it happens. That said, nobody could see the sudden ferocious attack on a however temporary ally to our party and not be alarmed.

As for initiative, that was between you and Artus and we're experiencing a bit of a lull that may suddenly break into more action. Up to Fitz.

Miss Imogen acted first and Harbs, the entire parties, actions since have been a reaction to that.

It wasn't clear to me at the time. But seems to fit into the plot. Just need to see how things are about to happen.

I mean, obviously try not to kill each other, but I wouldn't worry too much about a little PvP as it suits the story. One of the best things, IMO, if there's a chance of PvP (as opposed to just outlawing it entirely, which some groups do), is just to make sure everyone is on the same page about it. In other words, characters can be in conflict, as long as players are not. Key to that is, of course, communication. Keep talking here about it here, and we should be fine.

Thank you for this.

I have spent the last 3.5 hours trying to respond to this situation. I *HATE* PvP: it inevitably upsets player trust (apart from character trust). I am feeling that now. It is worse when we're not at a table, sharing drinks and seeing the other person smiling and enjoying what is happening. This may be (apparently is) a sacred cow in my gaming style. What happens to an NPC is interesting (potentially) or challenging (potentially) for the group. But this player conflict is horrible.

I am trying to de-escalate (IC 1010, 1014, 1017, OOC 827). I am saying that explicitly, again, in the OOC thread. One final attempt in IC 1021.
