Yes, I've noticed they've been taking a VERY long time to load sometimes too--mostly in mobile.

I expect a lot of the problems are still due to hacker efforts.  I am utterly stopped one big type of attack, but others are happening.  The site can be up and down in terms of speed. 

I am working on the issues.

Raven - so glad to have you back!

We already have one Ch'dau post this round, so I'm tinking I can go ahead and advance the story a bit.  Eol, if I'm stepping on your toes, feel free to smack me.

My toes are fine! Post away!

Is there a possibility to shoot the dark robed individual with the crossbow? 

You may, of course, try anything you like.  Gib is currently right behind/beside Ch'dau, so he's threatened by melee.  Also, you have a relatively narrow door with zombies trying to crowd through.  Odds are that you just hit one of them, but you are welcome to give it a shot, so to speak.

I had envisioned a different set up before opening ther door. My apologies. Would you mind giving me a description of the scene including positions of characters and dimensions? 

...you singed my whiskers!!!

Okay, so 10 or so zombies (no gigglers?) and a narrow doorway, yes? What are the chances that, if he put all his strenght behind it, Ch'dau could bowl through the door and "make a hole" in the zombie press, thereby creating an opening for Gib and other ranged attackers to plink at the priest?

My dearest cat, perhaps Cedric or Gib could be of assistance? I'm sure the walking corpses will flee in the face of their devotion.

Or maybe Midge can send in his bees to disturb the priest's concentration? 

Lemme see what I can do.

Ugle ASCII map, away!

p = priest
z = zombie
C = Ch'Dau
G = Gib
g = Garn
c = Cedric
M = Midge
A = Aranwen

"Ten or so" were the precise words, so, I'm guessing around a dozen anyway... not sure if any were set alight by the fireball trap but, yeah, help is always welcomed! Teamwork makes the dream work, right?

• Turn undead
• Raging Kazari charge and chomp
• Maximun effort, maximum carnage

Thoughts?

EDIT: The map helps... so, same plan as above but, maybe have Aranwen and Garn try to move to the front, as well, following the turn undead bit, melee fighters clear a swath on the press into the room, ranged fighters aim for the priest...

Make a hole?

Ch'au is very strong and can move faster than zombies.  You could probably run in among them, push back, etc.  Doing so does opn you up to a coupleof extra attacks.

Breebles and I are working on collab posts via PM.  She tells me that she is REALLY loving Davena as a character. 

That makes me happy! 

Not too worried about the additional hits, tbh... Angry kazari, looking for abducted besty, etc, etc... let's eat some faces!!!

If no one objects, I think that's my plan... may even go for the priest if the opportunity presents itself, and let folk in the file take care of the zombies as the hole is made. I'll wait for wiser heads to prevail before i commit too much to post, though.

P.S. I love Davena as a character, too... as much as I hate her, even! Garn, too... even if Ch'dau really wants to kill him.

I love her as a character, but I told Olan, that I also personally hate her so much. I'll just be out enjoying my life in the WORLD and this slitch will pop into my mind and I have to force a scowl off my face because no one would understand. It is a deep and visceral hate, and I love and appreciate Olan so much for creating a character that could evoke such human emotions like these from me BEEP BOOP
