Yeah. We should radio to base. I concur. Though Chipper wouldn't think of it.

If we are marching, Chipper tries to settle somewhere in the middle of the team. The shortest distance to any one person, typically, is where he is trained to stay. 

He can also provide guidance as appropriate. 

Oh, marching order? Cool.

Alice stays in the back, if she can. Both to stay away from harm and keep on lookout for items of interest. Additionally, she keeps her small machines as close to her as possible, and sends one up to another should they need it.

Velys would prefer to be in the middle somewhere.

Fjeordi leads from the front.

Fjeordi, you can add 1d4 to your survival thx to Chipper. 

HunterOrien: it works like a walkie-talkie, if you speak into one side it makes noise on the other. you don't need to attune. But if Fjeordi doesn't know this then they don't. =/

Survival 12+4

So close to an eventless travel back...

Ok, so for order, I have:

Front rank: Fjeordi and Magnus

Middle rank: Noryarus, Chipper, Senca, Velys

Back rank: Alice

Combat will start at 12:00 (noon) MT (ish) tomorrow (03-25-2025), for now, if there are changes in marching order make them explicitly clear, otherwise rp interactions.  

As CO HunterOrien, you can make on-the-spot calls about the party's decisions (sorry for just throwing this at you), like if they stop or turn back or the such. 

With Senca scouting she'd be towards the front.

I am trying to get up to speed asap, I have two issues:

1.  I cannot see how to add the RAGE bonuses to my character sheet.

2.  How do I make die rolls in PbP?

For the rage bonus, when I use rage for my barbarian I found a homebrew item that adds the effects I equip and unequip. 

For die rolls if you look at the tool bar for the chat window you'll see a d6 you can click on and it will give you the options of what die to roll and modifiers to add.

Updated order

Front rank: Fjeordi, Magnus, Senca

Middle rank: Noryarus, Chipper, Velys

Back rank: Alice

Reporting in on scout skills:

Chipper can see in the dark. Also, proficiency in Stealth. His scale mail is currently giving him disadvantage, the perks of starter gear. He does however have a huge perception bonus for this level. So spots stuff real well.

I see the encounter in the IC as reported by the DM.  This is my first PbP fight, so I will sit back and await the posts of others; however we appear to have surprise.  A volley of spells and arrows might be nice as our front rank prepares to receive  a charge by the undead.   

Astre72- Are we using the Fifth Ed Barbarian sub Paths that kick in at level 3?  If so, I am planning on the Zealot.  Do you have a sun god in your pantheon?  (I can make one up or choose one from other pantheons)

I will post a character back story soon.  Thanks.  

@PoundThem, barb paths at 3rd, Zealot is fine, and you can choose whatever deity/god you want. 

@Velys, where are you getting the +1d8?

MAP!

For easier moving, I made a graph. The green spot is on 10,30. Z1-3 are zombies. Z1-3 are skeletons, BZ is a big zombie (large, 10x10ft). you guys are your PC's first letter of their first name. 

Remember bottom,side for square numbers. (x,y)

My guess would be gift of alacrity since he's a time mage.

That makes sense. 

I've only used PHB, TCoE, BP:GotG, XGtE, and MP:MotM for PC creation.
