She doesn't rake leaves so I can GM, but she does spend hours alone so I can shoot up with my gaming addiction.

Wives are a special breed of understanding.

Having met the Lady in Question I must say she is a very wonderful and special person. I only hope one day I meet someone as well attuned to my gaming habits as she is to AL's.
Love ya Cathy....

I will be very busy in my personal time from here to the end of the week. So I might not be able to post the next phase of combat until the weekend. If things lighten up, I will get right in there.

That's okay. We'll be all right.

Really.

Maybe we can write some CWWLLO fanfic to get us through?

Cwwllo fan fiction ... That's a funny thought.

Ummm... well... *hides stuff he's been scribbling*... pay no attention to that geek behind the curtain.

In order for combat not to be a round by round posting, if you could give me a more general plan of action in your posts, and a back up plan if plan A fails, then I can do multiple rounds of combat in a single post.

Unless y'all like the round by round combat. Then we can stick to that. In the previous version of CWWLLO, I did not do round by round, but I had only one spell caster.

I like round by round as that gives me a chance to change what I am doing per what happens the round before.
But thats just me I will go with player majority on this issue.

I'd rather do three round or so, like you used to do, if ossible. Otherwise, we could be doing this fight for the next month...

Three rounds is do-able, but it can get quite complicated with three spellcasters. Perhaps a few PM's if something were to prompt player intervention?

Just kidding, of course, three rounds is do-able. Admiral's PM idea should make it smooth enough to be painless.

I am always for PM's or Email for communication. If Arien finds himself between saving the damsel in distress, killing the demon or saving a friend in need - I don't want to make the decision for him. So I will let players know if I need input. Heck, I can always phone Olan or Lance or Tann as I have their numbers. Raven ... bit expensive to ask "what's the dwarf's doing now?"

But often, combat is predictable. Like I would expect Kilgim will attend to Jal. Arien will run interference to let the dwarf do his work. etc etc etc.

If battle plans are given with the Plan A/Plan B/Plan Hell breaks loose then I can usually run entire combat without a problem.

Definitely multiple rounds... and you don't have to wait to call until you have a question. Heck! Come up with a question; I don't care if I don't have the answer, I'll make one up.

As I seem to be the one always calling you, so feel free to call me for a change why don'tcha.

I would just ask that if something significant happens during the enemy attacks, the DM does interupt to ask for any changes. Significant would include serious injuries amongst the team, addition of new enemies, or a change in their attacks.

Just an FYI to all...my November, December and January look hellish from a work/life balance (as in there isn't any), other than right around Christmas and New Years, so Al may need to NPC Dapple at times.
