I feel i have been very clear in Magoo's travel from one place to another. Magoo's first action was to sneak straight to the behind the chiefs house, where he found a tower that he had to deal with, this caused a patrol to come which Shiki(you) distracted. Magoo then snuck back around and passed the mess hall where Phor and later Dorm set traps. My understanding was that the mess hall and the chiefs house were within a fair distance of eachother, not close together but not crazy far apart.
I have not interfered with Dorm, Vera, or Titus's actions or involved Magoo in their posts. Other than him seeing Dorm in the distance.
Magoo and Phor are hiding together very close to the chief's house, the trail of grog was quite long. I.e. they are 100-150 meters/yards from the mess hall but only maybe 20-50 meters/yards from the chief's house. They can not necessarily see the mess hall from where they are hiding, only hear the explosion and maybe see the top of the flames as it explodes. This was supposed to be a distraction, coupled with the sudden fire that should/would have ignited behind the orcs that were torturing the hostages.

I totally understand trying to keep up with so much! I also get that this is a big town! I mostly wanted to make sure we ate ALL being careful not to accidentally fuck up the flow for each other by not reading what others are posting.
I.e. it would suck if Vera and Titus suddenly got roasted to a crisp because Magoo dropped a flaming grog barrel in the tunnel they are in. Or if Dorm worked out a nice fight sequence and then Ayred posts that she ties up the orcs he already killed for information, etc.

For now, can we just say that Ayred kicked some dirt over the 2nd trail and stopped the 2nd fire when she rushed in?
That way we can assume Ayred and Syl jumped in the middle of Magoo and Phorcis's plan because they didnt know what they were up to.
The BIG issue is that Magoo and MAYBE Phor would have rushed in to the fight when they saw Ayred and Sylv, but their posts use up a LOT of time/turns and the narrative has passed Magoo by. He would have been there when they freed the beastkin and learned the info from it.

 

[NeonFlow]

I hope you know I was generally summarising Magoo zipping from place to place, I understand you have taken a effort to explain the movements and such.

To answer all that yes you can assume the elf stopped the fire close to them or the trail dried out

and that Magoo and phor are close enough to learn of more captives around grimdar and potential runaways.

After this arc characters will be split into groups which will help get a rhythm for each player in the group.
Mainly because each group will have a task or objective in a different area.

Group one may be Vera Titus and Magoo, sent to Restag to slay a dragon
Group two being phor dorm and Ayred sent to blador to scout orc activity etc

This first arc is kinda a feeling out process getting used to how we all post and letting you get a idea of how I gm and such

Oh my, I seem to have missed some things while I was afk. Well then, it's time for some tea. uwu

Well TECHNICALLY, Magoo did all of that BEFORE they attacked the house orcs. I was wondering if anyone would catch that.
There are some major inconsistencies between player actions going on. For example: Ayred and Sylvrian seem to be in their own RP and are not acknowledging what we other players are doing. As the GM, you should be maling sure they dont perform actions that are impossible because other players have already changed the situation.
Magoo and Phor set the fire around the same time Syl and Ayred were about to attack the orcs, so their fight would have been directly changed by those actions.

As for the 2nd trail: i was quite clear that Magoo spread the grog to where the orcs were torturing the beastkin AND thatvwas before Ayred busted into the area without checking what others were doing. That fire was meant to distract/scare away some of the orcs to help Magoo and Phor to attack and save the hostages. Sure ayred and Syl jumped in, but our action after the explosion would be to rush the remainong orcs and cut the hostages loose. Ayred and Syl TRAMPLED into an already established set of actions and should logically be on fire right now.
Instead, my entire last set of actions have been ignored.
I feel like we need better communication maybe? I plan to start Magoo's next action based on how things are CURRENTLY, but I wanted to point out the problems I am seeing.

To help out the situation I have personally gone through the posts in order (also referring to their post ID);

#46 Shiki sets the tower on fire and exits
#47 Ayred sees Shiki's actions and suggests to Silvrian that they should rescue the prisoners.
#49 Magoo retreats from his fight

• Maggo tends to his wounds
• Magoo talks to Phor
• Magoo makes an illusion
• The illusion fails

<<Her plan took place before Magoo's own, so even if we are purely talking about OOC manipulation to 'butt' into other people's posts this does not make sense chronologically. Lore-wise it doesn't either.>>

#50 Flowy mentions how and why the illusion failed. Also, a direct quote:

The eating area is location B
far enough away from the house that the barrels explosive range wouldn't bother any orcs near location A.

<<The above quote is HIGHLY important for the next bit, so remember the mention of distance>>

#55 in a single post

• Magoo runs all the way across the orc camp to the mess hall
• locates grog barrel
• opens it and soaks 2 rags in it
• runs back
• leads a trail of grog (which would slow down a full sprint unless he decided not to do it carefully which risks it not working because the trail is too thin or spotty). Not to mention he only had 2 cloths worth of the stuff, which would be harder to do than a barrel with a steady flow. If even possible with the amount of distance he needs to cover with it.
• Tells Phor to ignite it

#56 Ayred and Silvrian agree on the plan and initiate the attack on the orcs. This conversation would have lasted no more than 1-2 minutes and Ayred preparing
the spell would take ~30 seconds.

However, in the same amount of time Magoo has retreated from combat, healed himself, talked with Phor, ran across the camp, found grog, soaked 2 rags, made a trail back across camp, got into position, and talked to phor about igniting the stuff.

This all happened before Ayred and Silvrian sprung into action, however. Maybe if Magoo used a super-speed or teleportation spells multiple times, but all he did was turn invisible. If you are worried about actions that are impossible, as you clearly stated was the issue, then how did Magoo do all this before Silvrian and Ayred attacked?

Even if the distance between the house and the mess hall was shorter, I'm not sure if he could do all these actions before Ayred's attack. I know that Fluffy and I make beefy posts, but that doesn't mean that a lot of time has passed in them.

I'm really sorry that your fire-plan kinda got side-swiped but Ayred had no idea what Magoo was doing because he was invisible. As much as it would have been nice to see both work simultaneously, I don't think it would have worked with the IC timeline D: Maybe in the future, we can have more communication OOC or have Flowy say which attack hits first?

NeonFlow Hey finally for making a post sorry for the wait. Quick question...how big are the spiders and how many is she facing currently?

 

[MindWackMagoo]

Juju I meant no disrespect to anyone! Nor do I want anyone to feel badly!
I am simply trying to keep the timeline straight and not have my, or anyone's, posts get trampled by accident.
Ayred rescued a hostage who was surrounded by orcs in a manner I would consider God Moding. By that I mean this: The casting of the Fog spell was a Major Action that affected a LARGE group of enemies. The post should have ended there and the GM must now dole out the effects. Perhaps one orc was immune to the magic? We don't know, you didn't give us the chance. Ayred just rushed in and successfully saved hostages that Magoo had been trying to deal with for several posts prior. At the VERY LEAST the Illusion Orc would have affected Ayred and Sylv SOMEHOW, even if it was only them noticing it. Next, if Ayred and Sylv were approaching the front of the chief's house, they would have been almost on top of Magoo and Phor based on where there were places to hide. Also, given the timeline, they would have HAD to notice the screaming from the mess hall. Flowiest DID say that the explosion RADIUS would not reach the chief's house orcs, but the NOISES certainly would.
I think you are basing your timeline on is this:

Two orcs rushed around the corner of the house after hearing screams of pain and what seemed like sky fire.
The two raised their swords as their allies fell to lightning or spear.
“they killed Boz!!”
“He was my blood brother! Now I’ll make a new one in you!”
The two orcs rush at the woman holding a spear, their blades wildly waving above their head as if charging up a swing, they ran in a frenzy.
——- seasonedcat Juju

As Magoo Phor and Dorm sneak about, a trail of grog only needed a spark to make a new karma holiday happen.
Maybe it can be called ‘sabotage day’ the tradition is to inconvenience as many orcs as possible before setting them on fire or blowing them the hell up.
—— Goonfire @TheGuide MindWackMagoo

Because of how many posts are between mine and this one, Flowiest was just then responding to the actions. HOWEVER, because of how long it took Ayred and Sylvian to ARRIVE, Magoo's actions are further ahead in the timeline than theirs. Basically, Ayred and Sylv get to the town just before Shiki takes off into the woods. If we assume they landed at the same spot we all did at the start, they would barely be able to see the chief's house, let alone the prisoners, as they had not been spotted until several characters had moved toward the center of town and closer to the house. If we assume Ayred and Sylv traveled closer in order to spot them, then that has to be included in the timeline.
We have already established that there is around 200 or so yards/meters between the mess hall and the chief's house so that will be important in a moment.

Here is how I perceived the order of things:

1. Shiki runs away from where the whole group landed right after Ayred is asking what the mission is. 0:00
2. ~1 min later, Shiki leads the orcs into the woods as Magoo goes invisible and runs a VERY SHORT distance to hide with Phor. +1:15
3. Magoo IMMEDIATELY drinks a potion to heal. +5 seconds
4. Tells Phor to get ready to act if illusion works. +2 seconds
5. Makes illusion which fails. +30-45 seconds
6. Spits on ground. +2 seconds
7. Goes invisible. +5 seconds
8 SPRINT to mess hall which is 150 meters away(for argument's sake I made distances the max of the range we already established.) AVERAGE time to sprint 200 meters is 23-27 sec. so we will round up and say 150 in +19 seconds
9. Dip rags into grog that is already open and spilled on the ground. I will be generous and say +20 seconds (It should be more like 10)
Make line of grog that spans 200 meters from mess hall to chief's house (read the post, that is what Magoo did) going a bit slower to wring out grog +2 minutes at MOST
10. drip grog from the end of the first trail to the hiding spot about 25 meters away. +30 seconds
11. Phor lights trail after speaking +8 seconds
12 Trail burns quickly to reach mess hall +10 seconds
This brings all of MAgoo's actions from when Shiki lead the orcs away to about 6 minutes. Let's add 2 more to be safe, so 8 minutes from invisible to kaboom.

Here are Ayred's actions based on JUST Juju and Sylv's posts:

1. Arrive near starting point. 0:00
2. Talk to Shiki. +15 seconds
3. Shiki leaves, Ayred looks around. +10 seconds
4. Ayred talks a bunch, notices 2 captains. +30-45 seconds
4. Ayred could NOT have seen the beastkin without travelling closer, so let's add +1 minute(I feel it would be more because of the distance, but oh well) +1 minute
5. Ayred and Sylv talk about plan. There is a lot going on there, so I think about 3 minutes is fair. +3:00
6. Ayred casts Fog where Magoo is finishing leaving a trail of grog. +10 seconds
We are now at +5:30ish, AFTER Magoo has almost reached his hiding spot. This is with me rounding DOWN for in time for Ayred and UP for Magoo. If we were to lay it all out EXACTLY, the fire SHOULD have happened just as the fog is created or at the very least just as Sylv attacks.

After typing all this out and becoming quite tired(lol) I think my main issue was the double post from Ayred and Sylv. The fog affecting that many orcs and Ayred being able to free and speak with a hostage was too many actions in my book. If I had simply cast my first illusion and then typed, "The orcs were immediately affected by the illusion." it would have been an issue, and to reiterate: Magoo and Phor were not given the chance to react to events happening 100 feet away from where they are observing.

Maybe going forward we should try to set an action threshold that triggers automatic post stoppage? Like anything that is meant to affect more than 3 orcs or NPCs triggers a "wait for the GM" situation? Similarly, maybe we can only travel up to 300 meters per post, or take one or two major actions (i.e. set a room full of traps is a Major Action, or creating a high level spell.) I think that will prevent us stepping on each other's toes and accidentally excluding each other from actions when the characters would DEFINITELY act given the chance.

Again, I am TOTALLY FINE to move on the way things currently lie, I just wish to be sure everyone is on the same page. Sorry about the novella, lol, I get very passionate about things making sense.

MindWackMagoo

Actually, I wasn't basing my post off of that post since it is the most recent? I'm basing my timeline off of the most relevant post which was when Shiki set the guard tower ablaze. Magoo and Ayred both saw it at the same time as I had previously pointed out, so your timeline you offered doesn't quite make sense.

As Shiki darted about, igniting towers and bellowing to the orcs, the small patrol approaching Magoo turned as one in surprise.

she watched two of the orcish towers catch flame as Shiki finished off the archers and fled into the trees.

Magoo didn't decide to retreat until the distraction of the tower. He is not further ahead in the timeline by any means more on that soon ofc

As for your miscellaneous concerns and arguments. In an organized manner;

1. Ayred didn't just walk up to the hostages and free them. There was a magic fog so they couldn't see her (nor could Magoo in your own post, but that's ok), and I specifically mentioned in my post that she only attempted to free the prisoners once Silv attacked the orcs, thus distracting them. I think the definition of godmodding is being used a little too freely?
2. I think you misunderstand the post. Fluffy and I are describing the actions of our characters, but that does not mean it is automatically successful. The GM decides that. You see, we didn't say we killed the orcs. We said we fought them, save for a single orc which was killed by Silvrian in a sneak attack. Similar to how you assumed that Magoo could go between the kitchen and behind the orcs without them hearing or sensing him in any way, the two of us decided that one single orc caught unawares could be killed off before he realized he was being attacked. If there was an issue, Flowy would have posted it in his own post by saying that while healing or untying a prisoner Ayred gets attacked. Or perhaps one of the prisoners got attacked. However, he even said in OOC that it worked. We never ended the fight, we just started it and Flowy said that we won. Simple as that. I wasn't even expecting things to go so smoothly uwu
3. If you truly want the GM to decide certain actions then you should have stopped your post when Magoo was searching for a grog barrel. Or perhaps when he was starting to lead the trail backwards. Assuming that he is sprinting like a shopper on black Friday back to his hiding place, did orcs hear him? Smell him? He is bloody and carrying alcohol, two favourite drinks of the orcs. And also tired out from fighting? Or perhaps not? Did he run into an orc because he is making a mad dash? Did he fail to make a successful trail because he is rushing and is only using the liquid from two cloths? There is a lot of things that could go wrong. More, one might even argue, than sneaking in a magic fog, behind some orcs who would be distracted by someone slaughtering their nearby friend.
4. In the post where Silvrian and Ayred arrived, it is clearly stated that they teleported directly beside Shiki, who was watching the tower and the hunters-in-training before he had to go save them since they almost got themselves killed. Ayred could clearly see the camp as soon as she teleported.

And using your handy little time estimate, after a few corrections...

1. Arrive near starting point. 0:00
2. Talk to Shiki. +15 seconds
3. Shiki leaves, Ayred looks around. +10 seconds
4. Ayred talks a bunch, notices 2 captains. +30-45 seconds

6. Ayred casts Fog where Magoo is finishing leaving a trail of grog. +10 seconds

Ayred & Silvrian = 4.08m
Magoo = 8m

The main difference between your illusion and the fog was that you can't control the reactions of multiple enemies. I only controlled what Ayred did which was sneak into the fog, attempt to free and heal the prisoners, and then try to help out Silvrian if there were any orcs remaining. I didn't say that the orcs formed a tango line, or that they ran out of the fog in fear. Because thats not in my power. I also didn't say that they didn't see Ayred, but assuming that putting grog on two cloths to make not one but two 200m lines of grog, you would assume that a magic spell that blocks vision will block vision xD
If there were any magic orcs with seer-like powers Flowy would've wrote it in his post.

I should mention Phor dissects people’s actions in his mind and weighs whether there’s room for improvement, in his opinion.

If there were any magic orcs with seer-like powers Flowy would've wrote it in his post.

Again I feel there is hostility in your reply here where none is warranted. CLEARLY my posts are not being understood properly. There is ONE trail of grog that is 200m and a 20m line to the hiding spot. Magoo covered the smells with illusion and did not need to "search" for grog as he already made note of the location earlier. I left TONS of room for Flowey to have orcs interfere, though it was very clearly stated that none were near enough to do so(the orcs in the mess were either dying or distracted based on GMs previous post, same with the orcs near the hostages whom Magoo did not get very close to.) I then waited for the GM to catch up and play put any consequences of Magoo darting around leaving grog, which there were none.
Ayred could not have simply walked up to the beaskin who was very much SURROUNDED by 7 orcs, a few of which were within range to physically torture said hostage, fog or not. She would have to wait for them ALL to move away from it. Fog does not cover smell, so your own argument works against you. I agree that the GM did not dole out consequences of those actions, which was my actual issue.
Unbalanced world mechanics! There are all these rules and lore that caused Magoo all manner of trouble, but then they seem to vanish when Ayred makes some fog. My problem was with inconsistent GMing, not you.
As for teleporting next to Shiki... First. Gm clearly states that she hears DISTANT sword fighting and runs off out of their sight. Shiki was NOT near any of those hostages and Ayred could not have seen them from there, nor could she have observed Shiki who was now BEHIND the chiefs house quite a distance away. Remember that Magoo could only see the tower AFTER he reached the back of the house.
For arguments sake lets explore the other side and say that Shiki was hiding in a place where she could see everyone: Wouldnt the sudden appearance of an elf and a werebear where Shiki was at that moment cause unwanted attention if she was in the middle of the town FULL of orcs and towers? It doesnt make sense this way, and that makes for an RPG that is only fun for a few of us. A good RP needs consistant rules and logical cause and effect. Either Shiki was too far for Ayred to see what she saw OR their sudden popping in gave away Shikis position. Mosr importantly: Shiki had NOT MOVED YET WHEN YOU TELEPORTED. Go back and read. Ayred appeared at the same place the rest of them did.
Also, I am sorry for misunderstanding your fog. I assumed that since it did not affect Ayred or Sylv that it was only aimed at the orcs' senses.
Juju

Goonfire Magoo is starting to lose his spell that blocks out the spirits, so he has decided to rush things a bit, hoping that Phor is still watching from the shadows and that Ayred and Sylvrian will be near if something goes crazy. He figures only one orc can fit through the door, so killing the one that opens the door will create a barrier that slows any others that come to investigate. As most of the orcs inside are probably trying to breed, the guards outside were likely to be the biggest danger. Also, many orcs from the house are now in the tunnels with Vera and Titus, though Magoo does not know that yet. Magoo wants the house secured as it is important to his overall plans. The patrols are mostly headed to investigate the exploded mess hall, and there is still fog covering the area in front of the house which will help. Though I suppose Magoo is currently also blind based on what Juju said. I can fix that with a spell, but only for Magoo personally.

 

[NeonFlow]

I have read some of this but not all of it as I have shit to do today before work aha
To answer shit in my trademarked simple way...

When people write attempts they have better chances of succeeding in those attempts. Depending on what's written, the character performing said action and the targets/environment is what I add up to determine success or failure.
For example.
Magoo used a orc chief to shout at some orcs.= this illusion was heard and seen by the orcs but failed because Orcs.

Ayred used magic and a berry to blind the senses of orcs in the immediate area then used lightning and spear take down the orcs.

Elves have the best and mulitple magic- which is why we only have one in the rp. To avoid elves just magically ending each problem.

I shall be replying as orc forces and to each post that needs a reply tonight or tomorrow.
To be honest I've been trying to tie up this situation as the majority of characters are heading towards the same areas

 

[MindWackMagoo]

Again: I meant no disrespect nor did I mean to come across whiny or like I am butt-hurt about any of what we have talked about here.
I simply wished to explain how I percieved events based on general logic and basic timing of actions. It did not seem like the berries were part of the fog spell but i will reread that post again.
Either way it doesnt matter as I already moved forward based on where things were. I just wanted to lay out why I thought certain things so as to not seem like i was flying off the handle for no reason. I was not even specifically upset per se, just confused and wanting to get my timeline and the rules straight.

I didn't take what you have written like that. I'm just tired and kinda busy to properly address everything and for the most part like you said we have all moved on from this point.

In future I shall put more effort into explanations and use OOC to get my points across simply as in literally say "hey you guys might wanna try this as.."

Hope you don't mind me waiting for midnight to post so I can respond to each person in a large post instead of waiting for post order again haha

Not to spoil anything but Magoo and any near the house can get into it.
No matter how hard someone knocks, no one will answer. But the doors unlocked aha. Inside is what Shiki predicted (I don't remember if he said what he thought or thought it.)
Either way I aim for it to be sad and even elf magic can't fix it.

I say this just to remind you all of rpns rules.
I won't write what the orcs have done and I shall only allude to the terrible acts as I'm not sure what gets you in trouble and personally I don't want to write out what's happened or happening.

But basically think how a xenomorph bursts from a ribcage in those alien movies, but it's a orc baby.

Right, I know it was stated in the previous iteration of the RP, but I forget if you gave the details for this one. In a nutshell, the orcs make other women bear their young, aaand said young burst out of them after a couple days and eat them, then grow into full-sized orcs after a couple more days.

It’s a nice touch, really. Channels some Goblin Slayer vibes and motivates the guild to leave none standing.

Yeah I guessed that's what was in the house

That is awful.
So there are no orcs watching over the babies? Or have the babies been gone for a while already?

Well, it hasn't been that long since the village was attacked. I think?
There could be baby orcs, or a bunch of tied up females... I'm not exactly sure how long it takes from uh 'attack' to 'chest bursting'

I'm thinking it's been six days since the orcs invaded grimdar. And it only takes four to seven days.
