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.

Amra goes to full draw...targeting whomever presents the most open aspect.
Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

Sighard draws his longsword speaking to the Geornlings as he does so "A bounty isn't worth your life. I've been where you are and I know. My friends and I will stop you from taking the boy".

Bryce casts multimissile [magnitude 3] while the others are talking.  He tries to do so while attracting as little notice as possible.

He also tells Dewin to remain flying above the area.  Presumably the others will simply assume that he is a normal raven (if they notice him at all).

"He is worth a hundred cattle, Norrel Glorrar." Borvr steps forward, spear at the ready.

"Enough! If you will not give him, then make yourself ready for death."

Initiative time! Everyone give me your initiative scores and I'll create a master table with the Geornlings.

Also, Norrel, that's an unusually high weregild Borvr has just given for the boy

How do you determine Initiative in this system?  I thought that the order of combat was determined by DEX, or by INT if spell casting.

Init is Dex (or Int if casting) as far as I know. So mine is 14.

It is. So your initiative is equal to your DEX or INT score, depending upon what you're doing in any given round.

Init 13, casting Befuddle on Gunnar

Jhan watched the situation deteriorate quickly and wished he were somewhere else.  Still, the boy shouldn't have to face these men alone, even if he had stolen a pig.
With a sigh he mutters a few words and looks at Gunnar.

Int = 16.

Bryce is casting Multimissile [Magnitude 3].  Battle Magic Skill = 64.

In case I cannot post again soon (I'll be traveling shortly), after casting his spell, Bryce will fire his crossbow at the target most likely to threaten him, or if he is not being threatened, the target most likely to harm the boy.

Dex =15.  Ranged Combat Skill = 61.

After firing his crossbow, Bryce will either cast Protection [Magnitude 2] on himself, if the combat looks likes it will not be over shortly, or fire his crossbow again at any surviving foes (if he/they continue to attack).

Hope that's clear enough.

Edit: Feel free to make any necessary rolls on my behalf for the next few days.

Borvr is attacking Norrel. He's acting at Dex 13.

Stumvr and Gunnar are casting spells. They'll be going at 12.

Gelf is throwing axes at people. He goes at 15.

Ok, so for this round the order is:

Bryce
Gelf
Sighard, Engeram
Jhan, Amra, Borvr
Norrel
Stumvr, Gunnar

Bryce's casting roll: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2699096/
Miscast, unfortunately!

Gelf will hurl an axe at Engeram from the back row.
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2699097/
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2699098/

That's a success, and it will deal 4 damage unless you dodge it, Engeram. So give us a dodge roll!

Then it's your turn and Sighard's turn. Gelf is hidden between Stumvr and Gunnar, with Borvr in front of all three. They have a reversed-T formation.
