In short two more good checks and the Drakes are out, you get some XP and the next chamber gets investigated. If you find Big Tony the lost Gnome then the prisoner is yours along with some info as a reward for good play, and some more XP of course. And they all count as another encounter...If you want to fight then dive in, if there's an alternative plan then suggest a way.Next up...I've added the To Do List to the end of the posts, and will keep adding it in future, if there's anything that I miss- or it needs changing for whatever reason then give me a shout.I'm here for solutions, there are no problems only new opportunities.You're of course right- you're in the 'bickering stage', which is great- what I am attempting to do is to co-ordinate the 'bickering stage' better, and in future for people to post to say when they are not 'bickering' but are in agreement- sometimes I think you read another players proposal (as tiornys said) agree with it and think- yeah I can help out with... whatever.The problem is half the conversation doesn't appear on the screen, it's in your head- likewise sometimes you're not sure how you can help... I think with a to do list then you can concentrate your efforts (as Goken said) on one thing at a time. We're all on the same page as it were.I'm all for improving the system- if there's anything else I can do then... just say.Having never PBP'ed before then I'm just doing it mostly my way, I'll make mistakes- and I'll frustrate you with my incessant... whatever.I think the game is moving at a fair pace, I'm all for that- in real life I'm a doer, and I write for a living (and teach others to do the same). Even on a crap week I churn out a minimum of 20-30 sides of A4. So dropping in here and doing a few (a dozen) posts is no biggie for me- it's a break from the others things I'm doing during the day, I get to smoke, drink coffee and catch up on the news while I'm doing it- quite frankly it's glorious.Keep on keeping on, and a superb Tenser's, see IC.</blockquote>
