Long Bow 1st shot [1d20+1]=19+1=20, dam. [1d6]=2, 2nd shot [1d20+1]=18+1=19, dam. [1d6]=1

These Talesion rolls of 20 and 19 missed? They were higher then my last rolls, which hit.

They hit Bodkin.

Apologies for the demise of your character ybn... I amwanting to play this one without pulling any punches for the time being.

And while I agree save vs. poison or die is extremely aggressive, I am curious about how these situations impact group dynamics and how you approach the game.

That being said, we need to start thinking about your next character (if you are interested in continuing of course ) - any ideas?

I am definitely interested in picking up a new character and continuing but give me to the weekend or so. One of my wife's aunts passed away last night. She has been sick for some time; hospice informed us yesterday morning it would soon so we had our chance to say goodbye. Need some time to help with family matters before I will have the time to put something together.

My condolences to your wife.
And of course there is no hurry whatsoever.

I was curious about this. You had them miss. It isn’t moot, given Bodkin took 3 HP of damage from Talesian arrows that at 20 or 19 should have hit a spider.

Hey Talesian, You were firing into a melee between Bodkin and the spider, so the rules apply as follows:

Now let me also share with you what bugs me a bit about your question - you are not a frequent poster, you don't ask many questions about rules, the situation or anything at all really, except when it comes to questioning the way I DM the game. And most of the times I feel like you do this in a passive aggressive way, which questions my impartiality, or infers that I am trying to skew the game against the players. Which is obviously wrong.

In addition, you actually went out of your way to make three separate ooc posts about the same issue (even after I replied here viewtopic.php?p=730041#p730041), based on the assumption of what you think the rules are, instead of asking about them, or maybe go check them out by yourself. But what bugs the most of it all, is that while you made three OOC posts questioning something you could have taken some time to investigate yourself, you contributed absolutely zero posts to advance the game, participate in the post combat discussion with the group, and keep the game alive. And I think this has been a trend regarding your posts.

I really get the feeling you are not interested or invested in this game, and instead are coming from a place of suspicion and a constantly adversarial standpoint. For that reason, I would not be opposed if you would decide to leave the game. For me personally it would be the best option, as clearly my DMing style is not a good match for you, even more so because S&W is a game with a lot of room for DM adjudication, and I can already anticipate this kind of situation coming up over and over again - it is not fun nor motivating. A discussion in good faith, sure. But I don't think this is what we have here. So please think about it, and let me know your thoughts and decision.

Thank you for considering.

P.S. I am not interested in drama, not in my life and definitely not in my gaming, so I pondered if I should have this conversation with you over PM. But in reality, I trust we can keep this civil, and there is really nothing to hide from the other players.

I am heading into the woods for a camping/hunting trip. May be back one night to re-supply, not sure yet but planning to be gone until the night of the 27th. Please NPC my character(s).

I agree with civility and bow out. Thanks for DMing.

Thank you Dicey.

My character will advocate returning to the keep to regroup. He will also request we carry the bodies of our companions back for proper burial.

Are you still using pre-gens or do you want me to go ahead and roll a new character up? I'm thinking a magic-user since we seem to be a little light on arcane power right now.

Still doing pregens for now, to keep things nice, easy and fast.
When we get further than level 1, if needed I will let you roll your own characters.
Does that work?

Fine by me. Should I reuse one from the list? They look like we used them all.

Nah, I can get you a new one - heads up that Hreigă of Căléd might be rejoining the game. Let me know if that changes your mind regarding what character to play. If not, I'll proceed.

Still need a reply on this one
I will ping Hreigă to drop a line here in OOC also.

Peeks through the door....

My character details are in the character creation thread including character sheet and pic. She is a 2nd level mage.

She is currently at the keep.

Sorry, it has not been a good month for my wife's family. Can you send me a pre-gen for a fighter since Hreigă is rejoining.
