Alaric shoots the other archer, Soyver fireballs them. Rogash and I charge them after the fireball gets cast.

That 'escorting refugees' job sounds like a good warm up. Let's start with that.
Nooo my precious money!

Siria didn't get her robe. Also, what happens to old equipment during an upgrade?

Loot town for anything of value that the townspeople aren't taking.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

Setup a defensive perimeter!

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.
Welcome to Reality.

Really sorry, but I'm going to be gone for a week. Go ahead and auto me or kick me or whatever you want.

Mystery potion buffs are worth more then mere money, and you got to annoy some bothersome collector out of it.

I accidentally gave it to Srall instead. Fixed for the next update.
I guess you could keep the old robes, or sell them for 1 silver each.

I believe it's dead, sorry.

I can't make combat work. Either:
A) Low lethality, and even simple battles last roughly five turns if nobody uses any heals or death ray spells. "I attack again. I order my group to attack. Again."
B) "Quick" combats, where I just play out all the battles in one turn, which would require a drastic simplification of everything.
C) High lethality. People die. This results in me lowering death penalties to boring levels, or only very lucky players surviving to see their third battle.
D) Easy mode.

None of these options appeal to me. C might be amusing, I suppose, but I don't particularly see the point in a game where all the players die out early, with only a small chance of survival based on the whims of an RNG.

You could have us do a battle plan for several rounds of combat.

I vote for B.

What I do for my RTD is give the NPCs low lethality, and the PCs high lethality.
Like, an enemy may damage a PC moderately with a 5 damage rool, while a PC would be hacking off limbs with a 5 damage roll.

I consider this highly unfortunate, but I'm not sure how to make it work either.
