33 Har! Har!

Success against the first glyph! Now I need the second roll please. Target Number 15.

I think I worded my previous instructions poorly. There are two glyphs- both went off, hitting both Haroun and Keesha. I needed two seperate saves from both players.

Regardless of success or failure you can continue posting as neither attack will render you unconcious.

[Haroun El-ahrairah]

Oops... It seems time is against me... I re-sent you 2 additional rolls... won't post anything again until you decide which ones count.

Thx.

You succeeded against both gylphs. Other than the pain and noise there are no lasting effects and your clichés were not reduced. You've expended 2 lucky dice.

Now its just a matter of what you'd like to do next.

[Haroun El-ahrairah]

C'mon guys... let's discuss a sec.

What's this joker & clown stuff?

Could all this noise have woken the giant? wasn't waleed checking on that from the rear?

What do the others suggest?

[Haroun El-ahrairah]

Is the stairway big enough for the giant to come up?

[Waleed Ibn Alurah]

Personally I don't like discussing what character's should be talking about In Character. In our present situation, if Haroun wanted to ask these questions, he should, but also realize that some of us may not want to stand around and talk while two possible threats assail us. Talking OOC and not posting IC is working around the rules in my opinion.

[Haroun El-ahrairah]

In our present situation there is obviously no time to start asking questions as you said, so discussion should happen here if our individual posts are not clear enough (ie: clowns, giant awoke).

And who said anything about not posting in IC what was discussed in OOC?

If we are to play individually based on IC posts alone then OOC posts make no sense at all... just like the idea of team or party playing...

[Gamemaster]

The giant is between 12' & 15' tall and could come up the stairs albeit with some crouching.

As for discussions IC & OOC use your best judgement. Especially in combat situations--a few shouted words would serve to keep the drama higher.

I prefer to see most of the discussion IC as it enriches the game, but don't hesitate to ask for clarification OOC because I may overlook details such as the height of a chamber.

[Ya'qub]

Somehow, I must have missed this.

Could you give me a description of the passage again? Are the doors to the front and the stairs behind our only two options?

Waleed is casting a whirlwind spell targetted on one yak-man and hopefully effect them both. it will last the entire melee injuring it every turn, hopefully. I chose the yak-man on the left.

[Waleed Ibn Alurah]

okay, as I understand it, the stairs we're on has powdered holy stuff on it and there is a wall of force at the bottom of the stairs?

Good! I will not advance on the one to the right then, since you have shouted all this IC and I now know these guys are there and you don't want to hit me with your spell... oh wait, you haven't! Duh!

Keesha, if you see them too you might want to direct Haroun's actions (ie: slash right, hack fwd, chop left, etc.) at least for the first round so that Haroun can get his bearings and the feeling of the foe...

Lay on!

[Haroun El-ahrairah]

HA! Time is against me once more...

Well, Waleed did communicate stuff about the foes while I was posting OOC for which I am grateful (Haroun more so now that he wont disappear in a whirlwind).

I can't post yet since I am awaiting a ruling of the GM about my equipment... Let's say Haroun is taking a second to figure out why Keesha yelled that he couldn't see Ya'qub

Since you can't see, what good would it do?
