Ok, so the round goes in phases.
Everyone picks a phase to go in. If someone wants to go in phase 1 then they declare it.
Combat has no to hit rolls. You just roll damage.
If you roll a one then you miss.

OOC:
Oh right. There's no attack roll in this game :)
Thanks for the reminder.
If we need to choose a phase again, I'm sticking to phase 3.

OOC:
Gentle Reminder: We are at Round 2
Choose your phase. Remember I am starting at Phase 1 and moving through Phase 5, so no need to ROLL Initiative.

Round 2
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3: Filbur
Phase 4
Phase 5


Note:
On a Turn: When your phase arrives, you can do ONE of the following...

• Make a 6" move
• Perform an action, attack, or cast a spell
• Hurry to perform an action AND move. Enemies gain +5 ATK against you for the ensuing round
• Small, arm’s-length side-step movements, talking, or consuming edibles take no time.

I chose Phase 1 earlier. Does my original post stick, or should I reroll?

Guess I'll go on phase 1 as I can't do anything but move anyway.

The round is always in Phases.
You can choose a different phase every round.
Your attack last round, also stunned the creature, It lasted 2 phases, so that's already done.
New round, New phases.

I hope that helps

Marik slams the Fire Kin once more, extinguishing the creature at last!

A crowd has gathered at a distance and a cheer goes up when the Flame Kin is no more.

The house is need of repair, but the woman and her children have been embraced by her nearby neighbors who have offered to take her and her family in until the repairs are done.
Apr 28, 2026 1:56 am
With the creature vanquished and family saved, Merik looks at the group in all seriousness, "Shall we continue on to The Frothy Mare? Perhaps our chivalry will earn a few coin or at least some free ale."
Apr 28, 2026 6:38 am
Filbur wipes his somewhat soot covered face with his bandana before once again tying it around his head as a hat. "S'pose so. Could use a drink righ' about now." He lets Fudge hop back onto his shoulder and rejoins the group.
OOC:
Is this a normal thing to happen in this city?

Jormund sighs in relief as the living flame is destroyed. He hears noise from the mouth of the alley and looks over to see men with buckets. "This way! This way!" He shouts, beckoning to the men.

"Hold a moment, friends," Jormund says to Merrik and Filbur. He walks over to the old woman and clears his throat to announce his presence. "Excuse me, my lady, but could you tell me how this happened?" He motions back to the house, the blaze being beaten back by a bucket line.
Apr 28, 2026 3:56 pm
"Yes." Gretel agrees with Jormund. "You will have your fill soon enough. Let us find out what happened here first."

"Also, don't go running off until we have claimed our reward." She adds in a whisper and a sly smile on her face.

The Lady looks at Jormund. "I don't really know. I just jumped out of the cookfire," she says

Another man with an empty bucket looks at Jormund. "Excuse me sir Dwarf, but there have been rumors of something going on in the mines. Maybe that has something to do with this," he says.

Another man joins him, as smoke from the dying ashes billows in the breeze. "Don't believe everything you hear sir Dwarf. This one's always ramblin' on about con speersy theerys. I'd head down to the Frothy Mare and grab a mug if I were you," he says as he drags his companion with a grin. They both seem like they've known each other for a long time.
An older man, sitting by and watching the entire fiasco says, "Aye, he has the right of it," as he leans on a short staff that's shoulder heighth. "Heroes today, forgotten tomorrow. Rivergate keeps moving, just like the river itself." He strokes his beard and grins. He takes a pull from the pipe in hand and blows smoke rings into the sky.

Ok, so the event of a Flame Kin is not exactly normal, but this is an "average" fantasy world where monsters and spirits exist, though not common in the city proper.

I hope you are getting the idea of how combat works. I also apologize for not posting sooner, work swamped me and I knocked out asleep when I got home. So, I think we can safely say - Game On!!

Jormund takes in everyone's statements and strokes his beard, staring at the source of the sudden fire. "Hmm. Indeed..." He wonders if he should come back later to take a peek, just in case. His curiosities and suspicions get the better of him often. After a moment's indecision he sighs.

"Well, good lady, these fine folks will take care of you. You're in good hands," he says, then joins his friends.

"Lovely weather we're having. Pub?"

Nodding at Jormund, "Whatever the tale is about this flame kin, you're bound to get more information at the pub. People like to talk after a few drinks."

"Roight! Tha' barkeep, 'ee knows all the ci'ys goings-on." Filbur adds. "Besides, Li'le Fudge ere is parched!
Fudge squeecks when hearing his name.
