When I said we were going to start right by the dungeon's entrance... that's what I actually meant! :D

great stuff man!

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!

True that. Ben is doing a lot of work, and I love it.

Woah guys! Thank you! I'm really glad we're having fun with this. This is the point! The whole attention to detail/organization and so on is part of the fun for me as well, so mapping stuff, finding minis, all that stuff keeps inspiring me, making me excited about the game and all. It feeds the game, hopefully gets you guys excited to, and it keeps the cycle of awesome going, so to speak *grins* I love this stuff.

Can't wait to see what you're going to come up with next! :D

I am confused about something though! I kind of fucked up yesterday when I posted an answer of Cadfan to Othos there which only included the first sentence, but then edited and added Angharad's line and his final agreement. At the same time Cole was writing his post, so I'm guessing I confused him too.

Now, Ulas (Cole) doesn't seem to want to bother with Delbaeth the elf, while Othos (wikingbishop) does want to. So... what are we doing? Is Othos going to check the elf alone?

It's fairly simple on an organization point of view: I create a sub-thread and we deal with the elf, while the rest of the group stays on the main thread dealing with whatever they want to deal with (I'm guessing the well and so on, but that's completely up to you).

So Cole and winkingbishop, let me know! :)

I see Gareth and Nimten talking about the issue of getting down and up again. I'm guessing Ylarum is thinking along the same lines, judging by the way he's inspecting the hole, ropes and so on.  

That's an interesting problem, really (and so very "D&D" to me). Chilean-miner style, so to speak. ;)

Yeah, the train of conversation just went pear-shaped on account of pacing of posts.  Noone's fault I don't think.  I will still go speak with the elf or consider taking Rissthil (Drohem) with me if Ulas has lost interest.

But to be quite frank, it is just what Othos would do.  If you want to shove us down that hole and get dirty, I'm not going to complain.  I'm having fun so far either way.

I'd really like for us to study how to get down that hole because, you know the fucking adventure is there :D

Excellent. And that does make perfect sense for Othos as far as I understand him so far, I agree. I'll wait til Cole and Drohem share their feedback, then I'll create the sub-thread. Won't take forever. :)

That too makes perfect sense! The beauty of a PbP is that none of you has to wait while the GM takes this or that player apart for some stuff going on away from you. You guys can keep on concentrating on the problem in the main room while others check out the elf. That's an advantage of the medium.

Right now I'm letting you guys try to sort it out. Of course I'll answer if you check out something, talk to NPCs and so on. Right now you seem to be wondering how to deal with the situation, so I'll let you guys lead the show. :D

Hehehe... I posted before reading this thread.  My post kind of hits all of these points in their own way. :)

I think talking to Delbaeth is prudent, even if it turns out he too injured to speak.  It can't hurt to try, right?

Also, from a compassionate angle, I was thinking that those in our group with divine healing magic might be able to heal the badly burned elf.  Or, at least give him some relief and take him off of Death's Door, so to speak.

Rissthil is very concerned about the logistics of moving men and equipment down a five hundred foot hole, and then back up again.  He doesn't want to be hasty here because he fears that it will cause injury and death to the group if they are hasty.

It might be more helpful to clarify out of character - Ulas was originally just looking for a second hand report of what the injured elf might have said, in case a seemingly "meaningless" detail might have meaning later. He was reluctant to actually disturb the injured man's rest.

If Othos is already going, I suppose Ulas will accompany him, though.

Alright. Post something to that extent in the game. I'll then post indicating you guys leave and create the sub-thread.

FYI (since you're in a couple of threads at the same time), Othos just invited Rissthil to join them as well.
