DM: As you have these conversations, you start to notice the camp start to settle down. Now there are only one or two figures by the fires, and the general bustle has been replaced by a half dozen guards walking the perimeter of the camp solemnly. There is still one figure in the lookout tower, but you're not sure if it's the same figure as before, or even if it is watching you. The moon is at it's highest point in the sky, so you know that it is either time to act, or time to rest. Any delay would not grant you enough time to do either fully.
I just read chaiblazter's latest post on the IC thread (see spoiler above) and thought it best to initially respond here on the OC thread. Since basically we have only paired off not all four of us gotten together yet I wonder if it would not be best to just 'rest' for now and get a chance to get a few more posts in where we at least get together as a group but thats just me :)
When I go to do my first IC post of the day later on today I plan to have Guido call it a night and rest, see if we cannot get an chance to get ourselves a little better organized. If something should happen before or one of you acts then I will play it by ear but I will go with the group consensus np though if everyone wants to act instead of rest I am in.
I like the emphasis at the end there, "if everyone wants to act instead of rest I am in."
Decisions, decisions, huh? haha.
You guys are doing great. Hopefully you are enjoying the story so far. I know I have sort of put you in a bit of a linear scenario but there are lots of fun things in store for you, I promise!
Me? I'm down for anything. A few scenarios have been running through my mind, but I worry that any attempt to escape our current situation will rob us of a more interesting story down the road...lol. Definitely a conundrum.

I am of a like mind... Guido is a planner and a schemer and not enough info has been gathered to really formulate a real plan of any worth too many variables to rush blindly forward. Additionally if we rush things and get ourselves caught at this point if not killed outright by superior numbers we just make things more difficult and tip of our hand to them making future attempts even more difficult our guards more watchful. So either more intel needs to be gathered or the gods own luck provide us with some event in the night in which to take advantage of on the fly.
I don't think it was a problem just one of those slow posting days, some days we may get a few good posts in others just bare bones '1', its all good... I am curious to see what the night will bring, only half expecting a 'restful' sleep. :)
OK. Being a noob to combat turns in D&D. Do I need to roll anything defensively against the enemy attacks since I carry a shield and have chain mail or do I worry solely about attacking back? Thanks in advance!

Attacks are just made against AC. If I remember yours is like 13ish? If the to hit roll surpasses the AC then you take the damage, if not then you treat it as a miss, or that it bounced off of your armor. So I think the first one hit against you but not the second.
My activity will dip down over the weekends, but I will be able to be on my regular schedule again on Monday. I will be able to check at least once per day over the weekend, but may not get the chance to post. Don't feel like you need to wait on me to roleplay. Talking is a free action in combat, so you can always try to work it in!
I may have rolled the wrong thing for my "To hit." Since, I've only played one session in person new to it all. What am I actually supposed to roll? I took the DC from my orcpub sheet and used that as my dice type. But I'm thinking I am wrong and now have to go back to work from my lunch break.
I may also have rolled incorrectly. I used orcpub2 but I'm not sure if I used the right dice to roll for hit and couldn't work out how to calculate the damage if it did indeed hit. Really sorry. I'm a quick study and I'll pick all this up after one round.

After reading up on it a bit, I realize I did do it wrong. I was supposed to use a d20+ my strength modifier to see if I hit, then the algorithm I posted to figure the damage. Should I delete my post and do it all over again?

It should be 1d20+6 to hit and then the damage separate. So with your sixteen hits, so go ahead and roll the d8 plus the modifiers. I think you said +4? But I can't remember lol.
Next time you can do both rolls at once and then if its a hit the damage is right there already.
Ah, ok. I did my calculations a bit wrong. I did d20+4, and d10+4. I apologize. I promise I'll get this quickly. It's a bit confusing at first but I think I've got it worked out in my head now.
Also: Since those last rolls were really high, and I don't want to be the guy who screwed everything up by rolling three times, I'm more than happy to let you do your own independent rolls for me this round as a quasi-penalty if need be and to ensure everything is fair. Sorry again for the mixup.
lol my first attack roll of 1 a fumble even if I so carefully mapped out my actions... I can see my digital rolls are just as bad as my old real-life dice rolls... oh well let hope the next one is better.
If it makes you feel any better my ac is 17 and the orc rolled an 18...then took a third of my hp...lol. We might not make it out of this after all...hahaha

Sorry for the delay in my daily post. Our Xfinity has been acting screwy today. Hopefully, it'll be sorted out by tomorrow.

Hey bmb
I think you're good.
Its a ranged spell attack so it should be 1d20+your wisdom modifier(4) to hit.
Either way, we will keep the story as is, and you can keep the inspiration!
||PbP: Tarvyn's World... DM||

I did 1d12+4 for my hit roll (not a d20), so I can only hope it would have still been as successful if I had used the proper die.
Though the damage was correct because it was directly stated in my spell's description.
