The Most Merciful Thing (OOC)

[Terraspaz]

Out of Character discussion, thy home is here!

EDIT: By the way, if no one objects, I'd rather not include the Sanity Checks to see if your mind explodes. It seems like an extra distraction, and would slow the game down some. If you want the character development to show a crumbling psyche, by all means... but I won't force it.

[AetherFox]

AH the OOC...
Let's do this thing.

[Terraspaz]

William, Nis, and Lily, you guys have the spotlight for the moment.

[AetherFox]

Should we post IC?

[Terraspaz]

Absolutely. Consider the game in full swing.

[TheBlackDog]

Hey, OOC thread! Happiness. Let's get going.

EDIT: I don't mind the lack of Sanity Checks. Not a problem.

[Ascension]

Grug is unconscious, so don't expect any help from me anytime real soon...

[Terraspaz]

On a totally separate note, my school (Clemson) is about to lose a heartbreaker against Wake Forest.

EDIT: Remus, you're up.

[Terraspaz]

This is something I learned from another play-by-post campaign. Google Docs has an interactive spreadsheet program, which lends itself well to this sort of thing.

If you have a gmail account, you can edit it yourself, whenever you take your turn. Just send me your gmail name. If you'd rather just post where your character moves, and let me update it for you, that's cool too.

[AetherFox]

Grug is unconscious, so don't expect any help from me anytime real soon...

Look, I've been unconsious my share of times, but how are you already?!

[Terraspaz]

Sorry to bear bad news, but I roll out for my trip in about an hour. I'll be back posting within 48 hours.

As for why Grog's unconscious already... I'm tellin' ya, these guys don't mess around.

[AetherFox]

... ....

...........

Well crap.

Also, that works out, because I have a very busy weekend coming up.

[Ascension]

A cloud of purple gas came in through the crack under my door. There either wasn't a save or I didn't make it.

[Shhhh!]

See, While you people are fighting, or falling asleep, Jonathan is having a nice walk around the countryside, enjoying intelligent conversation with a man of similar scientific bearing. Nah, not really. I'm either there and unconscious, or not there yet. One of those two. Oh, my, Fun. Although admittedly, even if I showed up just in time, I'd not be able to do much more than shout Hey! Hit it there! Oh, fun.

[Ascension]

You know, I only just now noticed how diverse our alignments are. We have LG, CG, N, CN, and two NEs. Considered as a whole, though, our group seems likely to trend towards neutrality.

[Terraspaz]

It occured to me that Nis and John would know the layout of this place... though maybe not any changes in the last, say, 15 minutes. Assume that you know the basic layout as shown on the map.

[Shhhh!]

It has not yet allowed me to see the map, keeps saying I don't have access. On a side note, would John know Tyrio? I'll assume for the time that, yes, I've worked with him, and edit if necessary. Also, John's gonna come off pretty rude for a few posts. Please don't worry, it'll fade, but waltzing into a unsecured war-zone, with Unknown enemies bothers him a bit. He'll get over it.

[Terraspaz]

You'd need a gmail account to view and edit the map.

If this is too much of a hassle, how is map-viewing normally handled on these boards?

[Shhhh!]

Oh, It's not, so far as I know, but it's okay, I've worked out that, asked for the approval a few minutes ago.

[Terraspaz]

Alrighty. When you get one, either PM or post your gmail account name, and I'll add you to the "Can Edit" list.

[Terraspaz]

So... it turns out there's a "Let anyone in the world edit this" feature.

You don't have to sign in, or anything to edit the map. Just click and go.

[AetherFox]

Wow, that works out really well, since I've been trying for a while to remeber my account passsword.

What are the small orange dots in some of the squares?

[Terraspaz]

The small orange dots are comments, briefly describing the room. If you hover your pointer over those squares, a short description will appear. I figured it's the easiest way to denote what room is what.

By the way, assume all doors are closed. Haven't found a good way to show closed/open doors, yet.

By the way, Mr. Crowley, it appears you're up, by virtue of a big monstrous man looking at you.

[Shhhh!]

Yes, yes it would. Well, I have more than five minutes in a row today, so lets see what I can do.

[Ascension]

Oh gee! Look, there's a barricaded door! THAT might be slightly important, don't you think?

*wants to get in on the action*

[Shhhh!]

Nah, it was barricaded from the outside, chances are high that it was the attackers wanting to keep something in, hence, not something that directly threatens us. Safer by far to check out the lot of things going on out here first.

[Terraspaz]

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a real-life failed "sense motive" check.

On a separate note, does anyone have objections if I make some of your rolls without you knowing? (Spot and Listen, mostly.) It seems silly to wait a day for everyone to post one roll, rather than just doing the rolls.

[AetherFox]

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a real-life failed "sense motive" check.

Uh oh. >was it me?

Also, sure.

[Ascension]

Nah, it was barricaded from the outside, chances are high that it was the attackers wanting to keep something in, hence, not something that directly threatens us. Safer by far to check out the lot of things going on out here first.

*facepalm*

Grug is in there! My character! That's what I was hinting at!

I guess I'll just wait unconscious while the rest of you search every other room in the church first.

EDIT: Oh, wait, you checked it anyway. Thanks.

[Shhhh!]

I'm aware that your character was in there, but honestly. Metagaming is bad! Also, Really not a in character thing for Jonathan to do.
