((Trying not to come off as impatient but TRS_Red posted in another campaign 16 hours ago and I feel like we’ve been in this combat for about a week and have only gone through 3 rounds. Not sure if PbP usually take this long since it’s my first one but it seems like a little much))
If you've committed to being a player or DM in a pbp game here on Beyond, I feel like you should be able to post at least once a day. If you can't, you should either say something, not join, or offer to run a game. I understand that life sometimes gets in the way, but these types of games rely on being regularly consistent and dedicated. This is my first campaign with a brand new character concept and it would be a shame for this game to just stop, or get held up. While it happens, and it's unfortunate, the level of dedication and consistency can vary from game to game. I've been on Beyond for well over a year, and that's what i've noticed.
From what I've experienced, combat can take awhile in PbP, but like Crispy said, you should be able to post once a day unless life really gets in the way, in which case, you should let the other people in the game know. But it's also the weekend and some of the campaigns I've been in slow down on the weekends. But if he hasn't updated on Monday, then the DM should step in.

"Jeel, is like battle in slow motion. Could of had time to run to wagon of little people and kees Natasha, ya?" she says the second part in a joking manner, but you can sense a little truth to it. She gets serious, after, and attacks the closest gnoll left around them.
Warhammer Attack: 6 Damage: 6
(Oh that was just freakin' terrible ><)
Ach, Mish, that was terrible. Taetanicus laugh at you. Get head in game, ya? Time to think of cutie Tasha later.
(Apologies, I've been kind of over-committed the past few days. I should get back to posting to my usual once a day minimum.)
Broken and wounded, the remaining gnoll hunters scatter for the safety of the hills. For a minute there is only silence, and then the villagers sheltered in, beside, and under the carts and wagons emerge, cheering for the victors and weeping for the fallen.
The mayor, sweating profusely as usual, waddles over and shakes you each by the hand in a preoccupied manner.
"Once again, Cheesemill thanks you. You've saved us from another disaster." He pauses and takes in his surroundings. "We'll have to stop here for the night. We have wounded, and we'll have to give the deceased decent burials."
Oni looks to Natasha, ”that was a nice shot, are you okay?” Assuming there’s at least one dead gnoll Oni’s feet, he does a minor search on the dead gnoll and will start to drag it away from the carts.
Misha laughs loudly, approaching the cart with Jill. "Hahaha! Much honor and glory to us this day!" She pats Jill on the shoulder, maybe a little too hard in her excitement, and turns to Natasha. "Are you OK, little sunflower? You and Oni deed well at wagon with little people. Glory to both you, to all of us." She gestures to the rest of the team, but her duty was not yet complete.
People had suffered in the battle.
Like a walking talk, Misha then moves and examines the wounded and dead. The wounded should recover. She walks over to any little people that have died. "Do not cry, little ones, rejoice! Today you are in the presence of a Chosen of Bane. Through his infinite wisdom and power, I ease your suffering, and revive your dead. Come, witness this miracle and surround yourself in His glory, and honor. Behold."
Since she's only level 2, she can't heal for much, but I will revive any fallen halfling that has died by laying on hands, for a total of 10 hp spread out among the dead.
Once Jill gets a response, she'll dispel the Crimson Rite and wait for Misha to finish distributing healing to those who aren't too far gone before she begins to help bury the corpses. "May Kelemvor guide your souls to the next world and may that world treat you better than this one did."
"Jeel," Misha says lovingly, during her healing of the dead halflings, "May have enough healing power to raise everyone, wait to see what heppens first. May not need to bury just yet.." She gives you a saucy wink.
Jill stops digging and tells everyone to let Misha have a chance to try and heal the Halflings before they bury them. "My friend has been blessed with the power of the gods. Give her a chance to bring them back first."

Natasha's shoulders fall in relaxation, finally getting a second to catch a breath. She gets a second to look at the carnage the knolls caused as the other start to gather around again. "Estoy bien-- I'm fine, I'm okay." She forces a smile, pulling her bow over her shoulder. "Thank you, Oni, for, um, helping me back there... Jill, Misha," Her eyes linger on the paladin, trying to play it off as if she was trying to see if she was gravely injured or not. Ahora no es el momento de tener sed."Thank you! You looked great!"You're getting there.
She takes a deep breath when the mayor approaches them, thanking the Gods that there was a distraction now.
"I have some magic left in me," She says to the mayor. "I can help the wounded, maybe... Bring someone back? I also have some knowledge in medicine too! Let me help."

Oni looks to Jill as he is dragging the gnolls corpse away, ”Natasha and I had some rough spots but pulled it together in the end. This gnoll here healed my wounds when he died so I’m doing fine.” You can see the gnoll he’s dragging looks to have been sucked of all life and nutrients. It looks to have been decaying for months though it died only moments ago. After dragging the gnoll for a good 40 feet, hopefully into some brush, he walks back to the group. ”Hopefully we won’t run into any more trouble but I have a feeling we will.”
"Tasha, come." Misha becons her over, kneeling with the fallen, seeing that she wants to help. "Come, tend to the wounded with me. I will try and raise those who have died. Bane will honor you by helping me. Let us see to their wounds."

We can probably finish the initiative round. Has everyone gone?
I think that Misha and Jill still need to go .

(I'm pretty sure that there aren't any gnolls near Misha and Jill, so she's definitely not connecting with anything)
"Perhaps you will get a chance to kiss Natasha, mon ami. The enemy is closing in on the caravan. On y vas!"
And then Jill will charge down towards the caravan and attack the closest gnoll.
