All your insults have given me quite the thick hide, Afie ;)

OH!

Yeah, parts of conversations that Zell would pay to read, lol

Bringing to most recent OOC page -

K, just moving this down a bit and updating - Once Wits and Pi post, I will post for group B and kick off the fight. (Don't worry, #5 will be taken care of)

@Dragoknighte@Horrid@Luminosity@knighthawk@Afina@Billsomething@Melkor@Penultimate_Pi@TheWizardLizard@Warrior In The Shadows

Group A - You are in free rotation but, here is the kicker - You may only post once 2 people in your group post since your last post. Right now we need to free the captives and tend to them and the groups wounds as well as a few other things at the encampment.

Okay Group B - the shit has hit the fan.

Welcome to Thunderdome

As with group A - you will have 1-3 rounds to take out your group of baddies. Rotation will be free up to 3 posts each person. (You do not have to take 3 rounds to take out your baddies but if you use 1, please make it one heck of a post.) Deal out your damage to yourself and your baddies as you see fit. If you need healing between a post or at the end of a post - Call for Sister Agnes! and hold your next post until she tends to you. (I will make a post for her.)

Remember these will not go down as easy as the last fight.

Now, pick a number to pick your group and post your number here in OOC before you make an IC post.

1: Main Slaver that Melvus let go on a horse, with sword drawn: 2 archers with long bows: 1 Merc with a long sword and a wolf on a chain @Melkor
2: Thief that Vaeri let go on a horse, with throwing daggers: 1 Mage(Fire based) with a Blood hawk; 2 Bandits (1 with a war hammer, one with 2 throwing axes) @Penultimate_Pi
3: Bandit that Hanzo let go on a horse, with a short sword: 2 Assassins with throwing daggers: 1 Merc with a long sword and a wolf @TheWizardLizard
4: One Beastmaster with a long sword on his back with two Hyena on chains; 2 warriors wielding bastard swords - @Warrior In The Shadows
5: One Illusionist with a large owl, A bard carrying a lute, 2 rangers with crossbows

Slaver/Bandit/Merc/Warriors/Beastmaster - Chain Mail
Theif/Archers/Assassins/Rangers - Light studded armor
Mage/Illusionist/Bard - Regular Clothing - Enhanced with Mage Armor Potion

Rotation for Group B -

1. All of group B may post once to hear the call that Hanzo made, run back to town and/or prep for the fight but do not engage as of yet.
2. Once enough have posted in group B (I have not decided yet how many that will be) - I will post again in IC to start the fight.

@Dragoknighte@Horrid@Luminosity@knighthawk@Afina

Okay, group A, quick update - Horrid and Knight are up to post so they can handle their loot find post - Lumi, Dragon and I are on hold until they post. Once they do, then we will move forward.

@Afina I thought I had technically already posted this 'round' as part of Hanzo's warning. Either way, you can go ahead this round without me - Hanzo doesn't have anything he needs to pick up in preparation, so I don't think I'm missing out.

@Penultimate_Pi Yeah I changed it up. We have one person absent and a new player coming into the mix. Was wanting to make sure everyone posted to end the round for group B before I started the fight before moving on since there was a lot more information posted in my last group B post. (Full details of what you all will be going up against and such.) It doesn't have to be a long post but I really wanted to make sure that all reactions were covered and there were no skipped posts this round. That way everyone that is active is starting on the same posting round come my next post. Again, doesn't have to be a long post but there are things to cover since the full size of the group you all will be facing is up now - and you are a person down. (Technically 2 since Zack and Mortosh are not around for the fight and you have two people with a lot of blood loss.)

i am super sorry for being inactive but i was at my dads place and he share his internet with his neighbors so one day they just went away somewhere and turned of the internet so yeah super sorry

Yeah, you're not dead!

On the note of internet issues - I don't have a solid connection until the 20th, ish, I'm gonna be going to Starbucks and other such establishments in order to check the guild, sorry about that.

Hrm, okay, I have an idea to make posting less stressful for those that cannot post often but will also cater to faster posters. I am going to go ahead and get a post together for group A and B and then post the notes here in ooc as per usual. Hopefully it will help.

Okay, little note for now - Please make sure to read this entire post carefully!

@Dragoknighte@Horrid@Luminosity@knighthawk@Afina@Billsomething@Melkor@Penultimate_Pi@TheWizardLizard@Warrior In The Shadows

Okay Group B

This is Thunderdome! Two Sides enter - One Side Leaves!

Your rotation and lay out is as follows:

You may post in what ever order you wish and have 1 to 3 posts to take out the baddies. Having said that, we have some slower posters in the group and we have some faster posters in the group. To help keep things even where slower posters are not pressured to post more than they can but to also give faster posters some fun time we will be doing the following -

If you are a slower poster. (Meaning you take more than 2-3 days to post since your last) - please only take 1 round to take out your baddies.

If you are a faster poster. (Meaning you tend to post once a day if you are up in rotation if not more.) - please take your full 3 rounds to take out your baddies.

If any poster would like to help another poster take out stuff, pm them and work out some type of deal to attack one of theirs or if you have a group attack. (mages for example) - and see if it is fine with them for your attack to hit what they are going after.

I am leaving this fight for you to deal out damage to yourself and the baddies as you see fit. Having said that, these won't go down as easy but neither will you. Despite injuries and blood loss from the last fight, and any drink your character consumed (Tobias, lol) - you have somethings working to your advantage that the bad guys don't.

You have a fog rolling in that the baddies do not know how to deal with, so you close combat fighters will be able to benefit from this. You will be able to see 10 feet in front of you, the bad guys (due to certain alignments) - will only see 5 feet in front of them. This gives you a major advantage. (The archers, rangers, spell casters and bard is behind the fog - so they cannot see you at all but they are out of range of the fog, so once you step out of it, they will see you.)

You also have Sister Agnes. You do not have to wait for the end of the fight for her to run to your side to be healed. Call for her midfight if needed! (For those taking one round to post, if in your post you need her, pm me and I will let you know what she will will do via pm so you can put it in your post. Those taking more than one round to post their fight - call her in your post and then wait until I make a post for her to come to your aide.)

Right now in the fight it stands - Bard in the very back, next is the Illusionist and Mage with their respective pets (who will attack to defend them) - They are all defended by a row of archers and rangers - this group is outside of the fog on the edge of town to the south.

All the rest of the bad guys are in the fog! Now, remember what group you called and go for it. I have only posted their initial lay out, the rest is up to you.

1: Main Slaver that Melvus let go on a horse, with sword drawn: 2 archers with long bows: 1 Merc with a long sword and a wolf on a chain @Melkor
2: Thief that Vaeri let go on a horse, with throwing daggers: 1 Mage(Fire based) with a Blood hawk; 2 Bandits (1 with a war hammer, one with 2 throwing axes) @Penultimate_Pi
3: Bandit that Hanzo let go on a horse, with a short sword: 2 Assassins with throwing daggers: 1 Merc with a long sword and a wolf @TheWizardLizard
4: One Beastmaster with a long sword on his back with two Hyena on chains; 2 warriors wielding bastard swords - @Warrior In The Shadows
5: One Illusionist with a large owl, A bard carrying a lute, 2 rangers with crossbows

Slaver/Bandit/Merc/Warriors/Beastmaster - Chain Mail
Theif/Archers/Assassins/Rangers - Light studded armor
Mage/Illusionist/Bard - Regular Clothing - Enhanced with Mage Armor Potion

Group 5 was not claimed but we have a new player to the group. @Goldeagle1221, once you post your CS you may come in from the south and behind the group outside of the fog. (They will not notice you initially because of the fight raging but once you get close they will turn quickly and be prepared.) You have all those listed in group 5

Bill, did not know if you would be back to post for this fight, once you are free to post, let me know and I will pm you will some things you can attack or take care of.

Group A

It is time to leave the slave camp and make your way back to the village. Sana will not be returning with you as you can see. You are free to post in any rotation.

All posters - Make sure there is at least 2 posts from members of your own group between your posts

I think that covers everything, if you have any questions ask here in OOC or pm me. (Please keep comments and non RP talk out of OOC so as much information as possible can stay all together for those trying to formulate their posts.)

And again - Welcome to Thunderdome.

Edit: Bill and I have talked Via PM and he will be in this fight but he will be taking on something that is not listed in the original battle plan. Don't worry, it has been approved by me, so it is all good.

Crap I knew I forgot something! Anyone that has a detect alignment skill or ability similar to it - These guys will show all Evil Alignments!

So Melvus' Circle of Protection spell will block the illusionist's spells?

@Melkor It wouldn't stop it, just would make it seem as if the attack stopped right at the edge of the circle but remember it can only fit him and one other and as soon as he moves to do something else his concentration is broken (can't do two things at once as it were with this) - so it will drop if he does anything that isn't giving his full focus to the circle of protection.

Okay, Sister Agnes has done a healing. Group B is still in their pre set format for posts that I posted after my last large post. Sister Agnes counts as a Group B party member for post rotation.

I'll work on my next post now.
