I like the organization and clear distinctions between the post areas. How do you want us to post rolls? Hand roll and results? Or an electronic roller and results?

Yea, I've done this a few times before... :P

An online roller that records the results would be great - esp. one that we could plug into the site - but not sure if that's possible at the moment. So, do what ya can for now. Feel free to look around for some stuff - I probably won't be able to see if from work anywho... :P

LOL, yeah, I gathered as much, but a refreshing sight after a few PBPs elsewhere. :P

Ok, I'll get to looking and post what I find. Not sure if I can find one that "plugs in," but there have been ones that remember rolls with a character, which a GM can peruse. Will post results here with a link, so you can cross-references outside work hours should it not open. :P

Attempting to sneak around their camp and scout it out. I'm also using "Invisible Hunter", which says I'm invisible to sight. If I can see Gwr, I'd like to attempt "Mind Reading 4". (Required Power, "Investiture of Maoru"; Overcome Mind, round, cumulative. Transition Power, To Hit roll Mind ATK vs Mind DEF-Read the targets surface thoughts. MAG=22). Mind ATK- 17+3=20. No Boost to MAG. (http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htm. This is the site I used. Looking for one that "saves" rolls. If you'd rather me wait, that's fine, but figured I get the ball rolling!)

Good to see Shadow. I wondered if he might be joining us. ;)

I found this widget, for you to see if it is compatible: http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/dd-dice-roller

Rolls forthcoming...

EDIT: Rolls

Stealthy (Keep to shadows/line of horizon; move quietly): 16+24= 40

Awareness of surroundings/possible bivouac (Plus Hunter's Hearing, however you want to calculate the aid of "Locating Sense-Overcomes Blind"*): 12+10=22

*You can either read the card if you have it on hand, Ashy, or I can send the whole text to you.

Actions pending on results.

For PBEM, (Battletech among others), players would submit their own 6x6 grid of 36 rolls that were supposed to be done by hand. Then when a roll was needed from that player, the GM would roll two dice, using one for column and one for row, to get a "random" result for that player. With 36 rolls to average, you could get an idea of how close the "average" result of the grid was to a "probable" result. (For 2d6, the average is 7 with little deviation. A single d20 averages 10.5 but has more of a spread (not a lot more, mind you).)

I want to use Awareness 2... on http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/dd-dice-roller I rolled a 17, plus 4 mag from Awareness 2 which =21.

Hey guys, it's a good idea, generally, if we want to potentially turn this thing into fiction for the site, to start early with capturing all of the posts. As such, I need a chronicler - that is, someone who's job is to take just the "IC" posts and put them all together in one place. Let me know who's interested...

I will, B, especially when I get my computer back with its Notepad and Word software! For now, I will save them elsewhere.

Just post it here: http://www.untoldthegame.com/forum/rftr-archive-thread - make it one big post beneath mine, so you can go back and edit it. ;) Thanks!

Mind Def roll was an 8. Initiative was a 14, + 8 with Quick Response 2, and + 1 with Agile's Augmenting Power, which = 23.

Will do!

So that's:

MIND DEF: 8 (total)
Initiative: 23 (total)

Ya?

Yes. And I'll start putting a summary of my rolls beneath my reasonings for clarification.

So that's: MIND DEF: 8 (total)

Time for some internal dialogue. :)

Ok, Light, post your character's thoughts here - everything he's thinking/feeling...

Initiative: 17

Am I able to keep my Stealthy check from before, or do I need to make another roll?

Phase Into Earth, moving quickly and quietly to intercept oncoming intruder. Movement is now 120 ft (+90 from the Card) and "Leave no trace."

Actions prepared for my turn, unless circumstances change (will edit accordingly):

Hot Swaps:

Strafe (1)
Grapple (1): Body Attk vs. Body Def.=23

Brother will approach from creature's flank. Plan is to slip under him and pull the creature mostly under, leaving its head above ground before moving out of reach again underground. Brother will approach from another angle again.

Let me know if Grapple is the correct power for this, as I can amend my actions.

EDIT: Ashy, do you want me to insert the old "BEN ONLY" and "LIGHT ONLY" pieces into the archive, once they are defunct to the immediate plot?

Gwr has peace with this night. He is calm, and his rest is restoring his strength. Though he feels ready to fight off whatever may try to take a bite out of him, he feels this particular night will do him no harm. He is in the middle of a dream. In the dream, his brothers in arms and he are returning home from a victorious battle on horseback. The wind is blowing smoothly against their sweating faces all the while as if in reward for all their hard work. Gwr remembers the glory and honor that was earned, and the justice dealt to their foes. The remembrance feels like nectar to his soul, slowly patching up his wounded heart.

Shadow sees what Light has posted under "Sweet dreams"...

In terms of posting the private stuff - wait until after I've posted the next move, and then you, as Chronicler, have permission to look at those areas. If they pertain to the story, then pull them in. Think of it as if you were reading the story from the beginning, would you need the text to know what was up? If so, include it; if not, leave it out. :D

Will be sure to consider it in that light. :)

Still waiting on Light and Ben to roll INT....

I rolled a 23 for Initiative.

Initiative is 12.

We went grocery shopping today, and I also had to cut both yards this evening...I'm tired...

NP - thanks!

INT Order:
Gwr
Brother
BG
Shadow

Since I'm still asleep, I wanted to make an awareness roll to see if I wake up and sense the danger. I rolled a 7, +4 with Awareness 2.

Awareness roll: 11

Do I wake?

*Also, I just noticed that I get +1 Body Def when weilding my Saber, Silver. I only gave myself 9, but it ought to be 10.

Technically, you are *half-asleep* - in and out of awareness. ;)

After today's post, posting will be suspended over the weekend due to CrisisCon - FYI...
