Hahaha, you should still follow both stories.

If anyone hasn't caught on yet, there were a grand total of 13 slaves (Grot included) aboard the howdah. There are 10 of you. You've got 2 NPC's plus Igor. If you didn't follow the one group that asked who you'd be fighting, then you wouldn't know Grot spoke about that at all.

I'm at work at the moment and can't access the tab I've got saved with all the stuff that's about to go down. Please bear with me; I'll have things up around 6 or 7 (EST) today.

Re-enactments are fun because the guy playing Ulysses Grant usually has a real-life drinking problem.
Oh and happy early Irishman's Day.

Initiative roll (1d20+2)[16] +2 for my Psicrystal for 18.

Surprised you aren't rolling for us. Most Dm's seem to to save time.

Pretty sure my inits +3 but I can't get to my sheet so I can't be certain. Here's the roll anyways.

I wanted to, but I figured I might as well do it this way to let your own luck decide how quickly you die be more player-inclusive.
I'll also offer the option to take my reroll, better or worse, if you ask.

Enemy Initiative (rolled offscreen; won't say who's who):
will post once everyone has rolled. (To keep me from forgetting to update.)

I don't mind if you roll mine. It doesn't bother me. Just so long as you remember my Psicrystal's bonus to initiative

Loose sandy floor. It's a bit like the beach, but less so. No shells, no jellyfish, just... sand. You probably won't be able to get 50' from Sandpit, but that's still a hole they'll have trouble getting out of.

And if anybody in particular out there'd like to try burrowing, I'm not going to say no to the idea.

Hope i get high! (1d20+4)[9] Dam!

This is going to be interesting, so are we meant to lose or win in this reenactment?



Can you tell us what each letter looks like, so i know who im attacking. Mostly gear and race, at least what we can see.

Yeah, maybe as a last resort if things go bad...

Not hoping for too high of rolls as I'd like to see how things play out first... Though a high roll would still be okay.

Also, what weapons/armour are the front line enemies using mostly? And are any of the enemy half giants?

Yes, a description to go with each of the letters would be nice.

It's a reenactment of a successful Draji siege, and the guys dressed like Aztec warriors are the Draji army.

No prob; I was going to get to it eventually, but here it is. The funny comments, while laughable, are serious and should be taken into account.
Spoiler

Thanks for pointing that out! The unmarked circles are 10ft x 5ft stone obelisks that can be used to provide cover.

Yes; you're expecting trouble and have weapons drawn. Unless you're fairly confident in your ability to take these guys barehanded.

Still waiting on Ogalae and Rieken; we're 8/10... or 18/20.

Remember Gladiator? Maximus and his men were the 'Barbarians' against fully trained soldiers. Out gunned and out classed... good fight.

Should we start a single in character or continue the fight in 2 different threads?

Keep with two threads; post in your respective threads, keep tabs on what gets posted in the other.

Note: There are 2 threads for a reason. This fight is going to be a deviation from the norm. Because of the two groups, I made some major modifications, this battle being one of them. This is just a little bit of grind before the real fun begins.

Figured I had max initiative so I'd post my actions now. Regardless of what anyone else does before me (if someone can act before me), I'd still take the same actions.

For now, post it in your respective thread and here in the OOC to make sure it gets seen.

Related: I can update the map one of two ways: after each action or at the end of each round. Your pick.

It's fine; I'll be posting the full initiative order list as soon as The_Shaman rolls.
Heads up: the mul you just attacked is up next.

Finally, @Chained Birds: is your character's name Argus or Argath? I never really asked and saw two spellings.

In that case kite yells out to group A and B to start with a ranged volley, to scatter and weaken their forces.

Is kite the only one with any form of military training? It seems most everyone else is a wanderer or lives in a tiny village.

Kite and Bathlazer. Everyone else is used to fighting with their tribes. These two characters are more of the exception to the rule.
