@Melkor Go ahead and prep away - Just remember to hold post until at least one more member from group B posts since we are under the 2 posts from your group before posting again rotation cycle currently.

@Afina

Okay

I'm getting a post out right now, while I still have my computer up. The next couple of days will consist of me transitioning most of my stuff to my new house, which means I'll be offline for most of that time. The speed that this RP travels in is very appreciable, and I hate to slow it down, but real life must take precedence.

But of course, I'll leave you in the meantime with one of the longest posts I've made in RP history.

@Penultimate_Pi Totally understandable man, I have 3-4 people in the middle of moves right now between this rp and Kin. Just trying to set up the rp to cater to everyone as it were as far as posting goes. (Not always an easy thing, lol) - Good luck with the move! Hope it goes smoothly, I know they can be a pain. And thank you so much for the post. Grabbing some coffee so I can kick back, relax and enjoy the read! ^^

Moving to front page and I am restating - Slow posters please kill all bad guys in one post.
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.

Oh, shit, I forgot the blood hawk. Lemme shove that in real quick...

And there. Finally, FINALLY done. For real this time. I swear.

@Penultimate_Pi Awesome, looks great! Thankies!!! ^^

@Dragoknighte@Horrid@Luminosity@knighthawk@Afina

Okay group A, please hold posts except for Knighthawk. Need a post for leaving the camp - once Knight posts I will be making a "world" post for group A and give some instructions for the trip back to the village.

@Dragoknighte@Horrid@Luminosity@knighthawk@Afina@Billsomething@Melkor@Penultimate_Pi@TheWizardLizard@Warrior In The Shadows@Goldeagle1221

Group A - You are in free rotation - it will take roughly 2 hours of Rp time to get from the camp back to the road. Once you reach the road, it is up to you if anything bothers you. I am giving each member of group A the chance to throw something at the group. It can be a traveler just to say hello to, one of the freed prisoners can get sick or die, a thief could try to rob you. Which ever or something else. Once group B is done with their fight I will post again for group A to bring both groups back together fully in the village.

Group B - things are looking good, one person is already finished with their fight, several others only have one more post to make - so it is running smooth. Once you finish your fight Group A will show back up. When you are done with your fight, pm me for what you can loot of those you killed. And also remember Sister Agnes is available to heal.

@Dragoknighte@Horrid@Luminosity@knighthawk@Afina@Billsomething@Melkor@Penultimate_Pi@TheWizardLizard@Warrior In The Shadows@Goldeagle1221

K, things are running well. Half of group B is done with their fight and most of who is left seems to be readying their posts to finish off the fight. Hoping it will be done tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

Once group B is done, will time skip somewhat after healing to bring group A back to the village and then we can proceed on with collecting the first item in the quest.

I don't know how I'm supposed to respond to that picture.

I don't know how I'm supposed to respond to that picture.

Is he comparing you to something that squeezes people's bodies in twain?

@Dragoknighte@Horrid@Luminosity@knighthawk@Afina@Billsomething@Melkor@Penultimate_Pi@TheWizardLizard@Warrior In The Shadows@Goldeagle1221

Okay, this is where we stand -

Group A - Still in free rotation - I will time jump you once group B finishes their fight.

Group B - Tobias, Hanzo, Mortosh, and Derrix are done with their fight. Tobias, Hanzo and Derrix have been healed by Sister Agnes. Melvus and Hugh need to complete their fight. (Today please if at all possible.) Those that have finished their fight and are no longer in need of healing, please feel free to post if you want to start clearing out the dead or looting your respective corpses. I will post an ooc of what loot is found with a few notes once Wits and Mel finish their fights.

If you are not in this RP - please do not post in our OOC, thank you.

@AfinaI apologise for any offence caused

I don't know how I'm supposed to respond to that picture.

Is not your character wearing the awesomely tooled leather armor?

She is.

@knighthawk Yup, she's all dolled up and waiting for more rabbits lol

then that was it, awesome leather corset reminded me of the awesome leather armor.

@Dragoknighte@Horrid@Luminosity@knighthawk@Afina@Billsomething@Melkor@Penultimate_Pi@TheWizardLizard@Warrior In The Shadows@Goldeagle1221

Okies, gonna move the story forward tomorrow. If you have not finished your fight by then, I will handle it. Please remember that down times between fights are key to plot development, so use them to your advantage.
