OOC: Are we going to go in any kind of order, or is it going to be on a "first post, first action" basis.

OOC: Yeah, for this fight it has been kinda first to post is first to act, and I'm very sorry about that. I have seen the error of my ways! Individual Initiative shall be fully reinstated immediately! Oh, well, at least we've tried it now! While I will observe that this method keeps the action moving at a very brisk pace, I just don't know that it will prove to be worth it if someone doesn't get his fair share of early posts and so feels disenfranchised. Personally, my inclination is to go back to individual initiative, but I'm willing to consider other opinions, if offered.
IC: Tylara, spotlight hog that she is, draws everyone's eyes towards her when she noisily flings down her fine elven longbow and draws her equally fine elven rapier from its sheath as she pirouettes between the two hobgoblins, ripostes, and them thrusts her rapier into the breast of the southernmost foe. This treatment from the elf maiden is more than his male libido can stand, and the hobgoblin just keels over dead.
Meanwhile, Manny, feeling more than his pint-sized share of Wheaties, boldly swaggers up to the lead hobgoblin and, reaching up as high as he can, thrusts his blade into the creature's liver. A look of pain and anger comes over the hobgoblin's face, just as Kerlan's attack strikes home in his bosom. This is more than he can bear, and the last of the foes subsides to the floor and rises no more.
OOC: Bravo Gentlemen! Actions? There are a few personal effects near each bunk, and cooking gear and so forth on and near the hearth in the west wall.

"Search for what?" Kerlan sees a hobgoblin about to get free and moves to take a shot at it but misses. "I say we take care of this one and move on. We can look around after they are all gone."
Kerlan moves to K-16 and take a shot at K-26. To hit and damage for hobgoblin in K-26 (1d20+5=8, 1d8=6).
OOC: I say we use individual initiative. Whenever I post actions I try to give alternatives if something changes before my turn is up. For example, Kerlan will do X, if he can't do that then do Y. I think it helps speed things up because I can post before it's my turn.

Kerlan strides purposefully across the room and hacks off the head of the hobgoblin in K26 just as he was about to free himself from the webs.
OOC: I already said that I thought we should use individual initiatives, but my sole purpose was to make my own life easier! So consider that a done deal. However, that will have no bearing on you posting early when you have the chance. You could do that just as easily under the old system, too. Feel free to do so, regardless.
OOC: This whole battle was the Kerlan Show, wasn't it? Kudos!

Manny recovers his crossbow and bolt, and cleans his rapier before re-sheathing it.
"I second the idea of cleaning up before we look for loot. Who knows what our racket will bring in from the rest of this place. Quick movement and surprise are our allies for now."

"Since the other door is now blocked, I think we should go back through this door and go into the other door across the way. There may be an entrance to the corner tower in there, considering it's position."

Kerlan checks outside the door and them moves to the other door and listens for anyone inside. Listen check for second door (1d20+4=21).
OOC: Uh oh. That sounds ominous.
