Are you writing up all that happens in the 6 rds of a Combat Turn without in-game input from each player each rd except for at the beginning of the Combat Phase?

For this first encounter I had asked everyone to state their combat intentions by Wednesday, so I would be able to have this done by the weekend, due to the amount of skeletons and number of Players that I am dealing with in this encounter!

This will not be the Norm for future encounters, but I decided it was necessary to do it this way right out of the gate, so we could get on with the adventure and not get bogged down battling Skeleton Pirates for the next two or three weeks!

This is grand!

I'm getting rather beat up, but it wouldn't be a good fight without a little blood shed!

By Cedrus' Light we'll beat down these undead abominations.

So long as Jaufre survives this encounter, I've plenty to work with in the aftermath thus far... if not, well.. I've things for that too

Been working on round 4, but I keep getting interrupted with phone calls and tending to the dog

Am trying to get this done and posted before I go to sleep!

..... Putting the Finishing Touches on the Round Five developments!

Players are now free to post in the Game Thread for Role Play etc!

QnA is also open for discussion!

Examples: How best to restore lost Hit Points and what to do about the lost Armor Hit Points ???

And What About The 'Happy Water' ?????

Enjoy!

Woo!

Danger and intrigue, and danger, and.... I shouldn't have had espresso this morning.... but hey, not dead Pali is great news!

General response post is in, will likely have another when we begin to discuss how to proceed, (aka healing and investigating the water noise).

Ball is in your court folks!

The battle was very nicely done; I love the fact that it didn’t take us 5 weeks to finish it. Everyone lived so that is another plus.

Now it is obvious that we will need to investigate the ‘water’ but those that are wounded need tending to first of course. So, what type of healing do we have here? We have a Cleric and a Paladin, anyone else have healing?

Well, I can heal 2 Hp via my Lay on Hands according to the Castles and Crusades Handbook I have. The Cleric has a cure light wounds which does a d8. I think that is all we got.

Oops, I forgot the Druid has GoodBerry, which is 2d4 berries that restore 1 hp each...

So its all in the dice...

Gee whiz, -3 hit points and all self inflicted.

Hey, Tohmas is used to fighting in forest and plain and the rubble must be affecting his stubility, yeah that's the ticket. Need to find a way to increase his Dex or luck.

It the mean time he'll "Sting Like A Butterfly and Float Like A Bee!" lol

Surprised that Ody did not mention the 'Rain Dance' which is why he brought his character back from another adventure and why I as a result assigned deities to every other character!

Not trying to get everyone to do the Rain Dance, just pointing it out that it is there!

Probably best to get everyone involved in some way, as you are inexperienced, but now have a battle under your belts as teammates!

Just decide who is healing who and in what manner!

Will allow some time for your decisions and Role Play in the Game Thread, so we know who I will be NPCing for the next UpDate?

Oh, Hammer, you let the cat out of the bag. I'd eluded to "Dancing" in a earlier Q&A. I was just waiting for the battle to end and see how hurt everyone had got.

Well here is what Tohmas can do.

CEREMONY: Rain dancing heals totally all those who take part in the dance.

This is a BIG deal healing and a good social growth element.

I'll bring this up in character as we start posting again after the battle.

Ha Ha Ody

Did not mean to spoil anything!

Those other Healing Spells and the Pali Laying on of Hands are good for in the heat of battle, in case the Seekers are pinned down somewhere in the future someplace!

Rain Dance only effective when things are All Clear!

Like Now!

We have candidates for a little rain dance. We need to deside if we want to heal before or after we go see the "Happy Waters."

Tohmas is ready to his own Happy Waters.

Grab your partner and doosy-doh.
