Moving on

[GM Craig]

OK, things seem to have stalled, so I'm moving on to the battle.

Looking for feedback though - the test combat we did seemed kind of clunky. I wonder if it would be better to have me handle all the rolls, and you guys just describe actions? Less back-and-forth that way.

Or do you like having direct feedback on your skill results?

There are things we can do to streamline, I suppose. Like when making a combat roll, if you're successful, roll damage immediately. If you do damage, I'll take the roll, if you don't, I ignore it.

Any thoughts?

[Cedwyn]

I have to say...I like doing my own rolls and I can roll damage at the same time.

[Geoffrey]

I'm good with you handling the rolls, things do progress much more quickly and smoothly that way.  But if you want us doing them, then yeah, we'll do attack and damage rolls at the same time.

[GM Craig]

Ok, I'll keep the rolls with you guys for now.

Do, if you declare an attack, go ahead and make the roll and roll damage if you are successful. If you declare a skill use, go ahead and make the roll.

We'll start the battle shortly.

[Gwyn]

I'd love to join the battle, on the IC thread, but I forgot my dice log password 
I will look at the thing tonight. You need us to use the dice log, is that right? Can't pull out some dice?

[GM Craig]

Not everyone can be in the same room, so I figured the dice log would let everyone keep track, is all.

[Geoffrey]

Are Cedwyn and Gwyn hanging back with cooks and dishwashers or are they going to charge into battle along with the rest of us real men?

[Cedwyn]

I rolled

[Geoffrey]

So where's your IC post?

[GM Craig]

I'll help Pam recover her dice roller password tonight, then I'll post the first round results.

[Cedwyn]

Sweet...

And fine...I'll post something

[Geoffrey]

See, that wasn't so hard now was it?

[Cedwyn]

[Geoffrey]

Do we still get the additional +5 for being on horse vs foot soldiers?

[GM Craig]

Yes, but not the first charge bonus, nor the charge bonus.
