Viridian Plague OOC

Admittedly Whinoah is quick to react in this situation, but if M'Riss said something, she might have calmed down if she heard it. As far as she's concerned, there's a big hairy male manhandling a nymph and chasing some cat person who speaks in odd tongues.

Don't worry--she's an Amazon, and that is what she knows of men. Heck, Kallithyia probably would have shot first and asked questions later

You've got time to translate, yell, or tackle now anyway.

You have it absolutely right. However, since Whinoah made extra comments earlier, M'ress's response to that should be assumed to have been at the same time as her translation, thus disallowing an extra action (unless you beat her at initiative, of course), so it all worked out fairly

The problem stems from the fact Whinoah was able to do several rounds of actions while Trayah was waiting for a response. Get out bow, walk towards them, and prepare to fire. :\

Whereas M'ress' response to Trayah's question would have happened before half of that, and he could have tackled her before we got to combat...

Well I go post a 'combat' action now...

Hmm...your puny 40' movement speed won't save you from M'ress next round (if fighting continues, which I doubt), but it gets you out of Slagg's charge range this round--good call

Drawing a weapon is a free action while walking. She walked out towards them at the same time that Trayah was walking forward and dropping his staff. 'Aiming the bow' was just fluff and didn't give her any added benefit (it wasn't as if she readied an action), so it didn't require any added action. So both Trayah and Whinoah took only one round of actions (albeit not in combat rounds yet).

Actually Trayah did two free actions (talk and drop item) and didn't move once he saw them.

Okay then, but he was walking at the time and we weren't in initiative--the important point is that Whinoah didn't get two rounds off at once

Ok, I think I just asked perhaps the most loaded question to a nymph ever.

Yes, maybe, although Nymphs are spirits of Nature first and Beauty/Love second, so it's probably the second-most-loaded

Whatever, it took more time than what Trayah did which is all I meant.
