(OOC) The Primeval Dark

[Mornings]

Also, include your group in your post with your name. Like;

'Erik
Northern Cell Block'

Or something along those lines. I give some additional monikers to use too, like 'the hanging men', or what-have-you. That works just as well, and keeps things simple.

[Stevesciguy]

Groups 1 and 2 might as well be considered in completely separate instances of the game, if the time differences don't already evidence that. You won't be in the same encounters, because you're not physically present with each other to be capable of 'sharing rounds'. When/if you hit an encounter, what you find, who you meet, what quests become available - all of that is specific to each instance. This is reflected by only Group 2 having a quest, while group 1 does not.

Now, if you enter the same instance as the other Group, then you will share the same time, and be on the same map - at that point, yes, everyone will be acting during the same group initiative.

Alright, I wasn't sure if you wanted these to run perfectly parallel to each other.

As a side note, kudos on being able to run things that way. My head hurts just trying to think about running this many characters in this many different zones

It's sorta cancer, but at this point i've just accepted it lol
It also captures the chaos and disarray of the world from a very meta angle that everyone can truly appreciate

Will Kazik also need to roll Escape Artist to escape his chains?

(1d20+8)[12] Will

Nah, nothing for the chains, we can just thematically bundle that into his current condition lol

Trying out this banner for size, and let's get free squirm anxiously!

Will - (d20+6)[17]
Fortitude - (1d20+3)[14]

oh nice, what font is that? or did you make it in PS

You give me too much credit!

The font is Bleeding Cowboys.

Oh boy! That's a cool font haha
Might have to use this one later.

I gotta say, I was really happy to find it. There were a few fonts I was going between, but this one just felt right straight away.

Will Save(1d20+10)[24]
Fort Save(1d20+12)[31]

[Stevesciguy]

Will Save[roll0]
Fort Save[roll1]

Wow, you got great rolls, both here and in the IC. I'm jealous

[Toptomcat]

Fort save 1: (1d20+3)[9]
Will save 1: (1d20+7)[9]

Fort save 2: (1d20+3)[16]
Will save 2: (1d20+7)[18]

Fort save 3: (1d20+3)[13]
Will save 3: (1d20+7)[13]

Fort save 4: (1d20+3)[14] EDIT: On three consecutive failures, the DC is reduced to 17. Replacing this with a take-13 17, my first success.
Will save 4: (1d20+7)[27]

Fort save 5: (1d20+3)[18]
Will save 5: (1d20+7)[22]

Fort save 6: (1d20+3)[18]
Will save 6: (1d20+7)[15]

Fort save 7: (1d20+3)[11]
Will save 7: (1d20+7)[13]

Fort save 8: (1d20+3)[7]
Will save 8: (1d20+7)[23]

If at any point the DC for the Fort save is down to 17 and I haven't fully recovered, I'll expend martial focus to take 13 on that save.

Movement regains: (1d4)[4] (1d4)[2] (1d4)[2] (1d4)[1] (1d4)[2]
Staggered for: (1d3)[2] rounds

EDIT: Three rounds of feebly trying to get up off the floor, then one round of being staggered with 20 ft of movement speed, then one round of being staggered with 30 ft of movement speed. Once I've waited out the staggered condition and have full movement speed, I assume I'm mostly fine-ish, mechanically speaking, from that point forward? You didn't explicitly say- the alternative presumably being that I revert back to being dazed and have to make Fort saves even to be staggered again.

Are you guys going to post IC stuff, or are you saying, "I'll wait to post until I get up properly"?

Also, @Mornings, once everyone in group one has posted, are you going to do a post or can we just go straight into the second round of trying to get off the floor?

[Toptomcat]

I'm saying that I need to know what the rolls are before I know whether I'm posting a description of being insensible on the ground for a minute and a half or springing to my feet immediately. The post will be up within ~15 minutes.

Fair enough, I did the same.

Edit: I didn't look at the time, I thought that post had been there for longer than 6 minutes sorry, that probably sounded suuuper impatient

You don't revert condition, whatever saves you've succeeded remain as you've recovered from that, but you're not fully back in action.

Once all players in a group posts, then I will post an update for that group. You can roll in advance, but do not skip ahead with resolving your own results IC. Regardless of the success or failure of your saves you will still need to post following each update I put up. So even if you were paralyzed for 9 rounds, you'd still need to be able to provide a response. There's no shortage of material to use, even if that's just frothing at the mouth waiting for Faux to gnaw through the door with his playing cards. In cases like that, thoughts, internal monologue, whatever narrative tools you want to use work. The objective should remain RPing the character despite good or poor circumstances.

Meaning nothing that doesn't pertain to the first round's worth of results?

[Mornings]

Correct. Keep it to each round's roll for now.

[Mornings]

Once Kazik posts then i'll put up the update for the hanging men~
That name's starting to grow on me lol

I like it, too, but where did it come from? Only one of us is hanging

[Mornings]

Well, kazik is the only one physically hanging, but its more proverbial in regard to your current position and circumstance. It'll make more sense in a few rounds.

[Chromascope3D]

Sorry, working on my response now.

I'm enjoying, so far, how we have three very serious, depressing men and one very flamboyant furry.

[In4Dimensions]

Is this banner too big? I’m still trying to find a better picture.

[Stevesciguy]

Yup! That'll be an interesting party dynamic.

We have:

• a master marksman and survivalist who literally eats veil beasts for breakfast
• a masochist who doesn't mind getting hit in battle
• a grizzled veteran, who professionally hunted veil beasts and taught others how he did it, now with bonus dark powers
• a showman thief who steals from the corrupt

[Mornings]

ehhh, picture is a little too tall. maybe about half that size. the title text is fine, but the picture height is gonna make your post's text look really small, unless you're hammering out 16 paragraph posts or something to dwarf it by comparison lulz

Better, I think.
Edit: wait, that’s smaller than I thought.

[Stevesciguy]

Alright, since that's everyone, gonna try my luck on those saves again, plz roll gud:

Will: (1d20+10)[18]
Movement: (1d4)[1]

Fortitude: (1d20+11)[16]
Staggered: (1d3)[2]

one short of a success

[Mornings]

Better, I think.
Edit: wait, that’s smaller than I thought.

Lolo super mini

[Stevesciguy]

I'm gonna take a page out of Tom's book and roll a bunch of rounds at once, so I can think about how Erik will react if he can't get up for 5 rounds

Round 3:
DC 18 Will: (1d20+10)[26]
DC 20 Fort: (1d20+10)[20]

Round 4:
DC 17 Will: (1d20+10)[11]
DC 20 Fort: (1d20+10)[18]

Round 5:
DC 16 Will: (1d20+10)[19]
DC 20 Fort: (1d20+10)[27]

Round 6:
DC 15 Will: (1d20+10)[22]
DC 20 Fort: (1d20+10)[12]

Round 7:
DC 14 Will: (1d20+10)[30]
DC 20 Fort: (1d20+10)[11]

Movement for when I succeed: (1d4)[3]
Staggered for when I succeed: (1d3)[1]

OK, he gets up next round, and I rolled pretty well on the other stuff. Cool

Side note: is chromoscope's post invisible for anyone else?
