((Sorry, but given we are playing a forum game across a number of different timezones, I think some assuming is necessary. We can always work out 'wait, but I...' situations.))

((I completely agree with Hanzoku. We could always do what you want, Highmax28, but as I have previously said, it will definitely slow the game down to a near halt. D&D games are slow enough as they are. Let's try not to make them even more slower.))

((I', not saying names, but one of you have told me to slow it down so others can post their opinions. And if I advance, like right now, when someone wants to throw in their two cents, they won't have the option and things are done. As much as I want to advance as fast as possible, I actually need to hear everyone's voice for group decisions like this one. I know this slows this down a bit, but I don't want people to get upset because people don't get to do what they wanted. It is also why updates have been very slow recently.))

Jee wilikers, I think Highmax is near invulnerable, must have been dunked in the river styx like achilles was.
Just make sure he wears a boot.

((That is a good reason to slow down, but what me and Hanzoku are talking about right now is about you wanting us to specify such things as covering him up. Such things as he said have to be assumed due to difference in timezones which might cause somebody to avoid something as to get on with the game. Otherwise waiting for everybody to be heard is good.))

((You guys think I should assume things like that, but that means I'd be playing as I would... And that means you would all have gotten the loot from the goblins at the watch tower which you all left behind. You took the staff the goblin hexer had and the treasure in the bottom but no one took the stuff from the other dead goblins... And I'm sure Karl would've benefited from javelins))

((Honestly, I'm not sure about that. None of Karl's abilities are usable with ranged weapons, and we've always started combat within one round of movement with the enemy. Karl tries to get to the front of the group to take advantage of his higher AC, which means having a ranged weapon in hand is a liability.

As for not looting the goblins clean, that was actually a conscious decision, at least for me. Karl comes from privilege, and doesn't think about squeezing every last copper from a situation. He'd take the obvious valuables and everything we could identify as magical, either to use or to sell.

Back to the topic, I'd prefer that we behave more the way you expect then have silly mistakes like Nadarr not being cared for properly happening.))

((I think in this case it's actually acceptable. Given he didn't say in his description "Someone warms Nadarr up at fire," then you were given ample warning to think about it. Maybe you assumed Highmax would do it, but he didn't write about it.

Also, if Highmax just generalises the important details like that, it doesn't seem like the player is thinking like the character. For example, Symon would be most likely to think of helping someone, Cromwell somewhere below him. If you post to help, you are in character.))

((Yeah, I don't really see Cromwell as the sort of guy to remember making sure someone isn't soaking wet when they are unconscious.))

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

((I think Symon would be the only one who would notice because Thyra can't even pick him up and didn't bother... Totally not going to admit I forgot about him and then realized everyone forgot about him :-X

But that is the honest truth, and believe me, if you forget about something like that, I may or may not remind you. I really shouldn't as the DM but I'm playing a character , so I should've said something but i completely forgot))

((Still, its up to YOU guys to remember. Thyra is only in as a roleplay element... Especially after other complaints about the lack of role play going on in our campaign...))
