I need to know right now if the axe got thrown? (Did we truly go into combat rounds? If so it looks like a lot of talking happened in the course of 6 secounds…)

No, there was no axe thrown. Nobody actually used a weapon (though M'ress did an unarmed disarm). Also, talking is a free action .

That always seems to happen. I tried to keep Slagg up to date this time though!!

p.s. In my face-to-face game, I've instituted a 10-15 word limit on 'free action' talking. Now I don't count words, but it's the idea that's important. 'Free action' talking when it's not your turn, I've limited to less than 10 words, once.

Through three sessions it seems to work rather well. At least it kept the players aware of the limitation.

That does make sense. In one of my more lighthearted 'metasnarky' games, I once had a weak villain who filibustered the party and then insisted that talking was a free action when they tried to attack

Ah, I miss read it.

Bront, see how this works? Ask the OOC questions before posting.

As for speaking and free actions.

I woke up to ten new IC posts most of it contains dialog... I have a simple thinking character that doesn't know most of the languages being spoken and since you can only take a free action on your turn he should have ripped someone to shreds…

Be happy that I didn’t but also be kind enough to keep your posts simple (and few) in combat so that I can play my character correctly and not be forced to metagame... Which I duly hate.

It was actually Pleione's turn (I didn't have her initiative up there though), but I believe that speaking is allowed during other people's turns too, within reason.

I think this was rather metagamed (Fine. It happens no wants to watch there character get killed) but I do think its rude to carry on so much without waiting for people to act in combat.

Well, as I said, it was Pleione's turn, and since she used her turn to speak (free action) and soothe Slagg, I don't see a problem. Besides--someone probably had a Will Save spell ready if the worst should happen, and Whinoah was out of Slagg's charging range because she double-moved back.

That wasn't combat, BS. If it was, there would be scattered bodies and pieces of what could be bodies . . . there would be cheering and flowers falling from the sky . . .

Our arms would be raised and outstretched in victory . . . again!
