This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Karni will keep moving up with Bright Feather until she can see what the situation is.

OOC: Caden gets blocked by a lengthy human wall, not able to slip between the closing gap and having to beg pardons to push on through. The latter leg delays, but you still reach first, in 16 rounds total.

Caden: 14+16= 30 rounds, or 3 minutes. Welcome to the maelstrom.

Alric, I assume you jog the rest of the way, for convenience sake to speed this up. That's 22 more rounds.

Alric: 14+22= 36 rounds, or 3 1/2 minutes. You'll see Caden breach the crowd ringing the melee and ...? for 6 rounds.

Hanalee, I assume you also jog the rest of the way, taking also 22 rounds.

Hanalee: 22+22= 44 rounds, or almost 4 1/2 minutes. You see Caden breach the ring and Alric close in while you are squeezing through people-walls and yelling pardons. It'll be 14 rounds before you can be with Caden again.

You also remember that you never warned them that drawing their weapons will escalate things uglier, faster. Oh well!

Bright Feather, you are quite behind understandably. A full minute delay before you started jogging. As you hit the halfway you try to close with a sprint. Unfortunately the 'afternoon show' finally has an 'audience' up. Your grace fails to avoid crushing a toe, and you take more time so as to not reoffend.

Bright Feather: 10+19+14= 43 rounds, or also almost 4 1/2 minutes. You can see and reach Hanalee as you both close in on the melee. But Caden and Alric have already been inside for give or take a minute when you get there (Caden 13-14 rounds, Alric 7-8 rounds).

Karnath, I'll need a roll if you are trying to run the latter half. Otherwise you see Bright Feather really is agile, and will outpace you eventually. With the starting delay you'll likely be the last to reach the action.

Karnath: 10+22+22= 54 rounds, or almost 5 1/2 minutes. You see that Bright Feather has just caught up with Hanalee, even with her delays. Caden and Alric are already inside the melee for over 2 minutes and goodness knows how they are doing...

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Caden

Main Street, "bad side of town" melee

Well it looks like 4 more people got sucked into the melee. Fists are flying and things are like a crazy free for all. This will suck mightily when weapons are drawn — though maybe no one will notice a little dagger work. >_>

You see three groups all roiling about. The groups are numbered with 6, 5, and 4 combatants respectively. A guy is being grappled still and pummeled in the 6-person group. A downed man is being beaten senseless in the 5-person group. A woman is being pulled back into the crowd after attacking a man atop his back in the 4-person group (lowering it from 5-person).

Initiative please!

Bright Feather  goes within 30 feet of the melee to pick out the cause of the ruckus quietly weighing her options.

Edit: 15 without mods (not sure what ability is relevant) if DEX it would be 17.

Karni will keep on bringing up the rear, but is thinking maybe a thaumaturgy might work, at least to stop the combatants. She'll wait until she reaches Bright Leaf.

You'll be there in 13 rounds. However time-wise you are closing in on shouting to Hanalee.

(Oops, when I'm in range I will shout at Hanalee to tell me what's going on). Otherwise waits for Karni before acting... she has a plan but wants to inform Karni before she inacts it.

Karni will try to pick up speed, rolled 8 dex, 15 con for her, adjusted 10 & 18.

Good, you are equal to Bright Feather with a little sprint and catch up to her and Hanalee. You may all call to each other and group closer. (Or you can sprint again and try to charge in with wanton abandon. ;) )

I'm gonna start rolling combat rolls in preparation for Caden, and later Alric. Feel free to plan as if you are all shouting to each other while running to the scene. I'll tick down the rounds and let you know when you close in. :)

Karni running up, "Shout loud? Sure, I can try. I was thinking of trying some distraction."

OoC: With Thaumaturgy - Your voice booms three times as loud as normal for one minute.

PS: You're still only 3/4th there, btw. So... best of luck!

"I was thinking a little admonition with a visual would be in order".

OoC: Perfect I know about thaumaturgy given my background. I was thinking Predigistation with some pretty lights around you to really grab their attention. If I had the slots to waste I'd do a Mirror of Mists Aes Sedai trick on you and really let you have fun. I knew I should have taken Minor Illusion dammit!

"Okay I throw sparkling lights around you and you shout really loud at them like your mother would do when you misbehaved. And  I add a clap after you're done, deal?".
