Apologies, everyone. I'm not really sure what I'm meant to be doing and I think it's a Me thing rather a Game thing. It's been a while since I've played either a D&D game or a PBEM game, and that's probably part of it, but I've re-read the posts here several times and I'm still stumped. As I said, it's obviously a Me thing. Rather than frustrate myself, and frustrate you all as I inevitably get things wrong or simply decline to post because I'm not sure what's expected, I'm going to step out here before the game gets into full swing.

I wish you all well.
That’s a shame to hear. I thought your character made a wise choice. The most important thing isn't making smart decisions, but having fun together.

I think people new to this hobby (or the format) can often feel a lot of pressure to "perform", and I get that. But the whole point of asynchronous PbP is that there isn't so much of a rush to decide and figure things out. There's no shame in being confused. You're not slowing anybody down, everything's okay. If you're still around to see this, I would urge you to reconsider. Your writing is great :)

@GreyWord , may i have a question? So, if im looking for footprint, do i need to roll survival? Or perception?

Most important to me is what an action is. Do you just keep an eye for it while walking or you have everyone to halt and let you search the forest. Systematic searching for tracks would be certainly a survival.

Then, it's survival it is!

"Haha! Goba shei, shu gobesh talas!" Garran interjected, laughing.

Freely translated from Goblin, it meant: "Haha! Let’s speak Goblin from now on, brothers." He had also learned the language, quite by accident.
This is the type of shit that would be an iconic moment at any table, haha. What are the chances we ALL took Goblin? 😂

What time of day is it, by the way?

Lovely posts, inspired me to come up with (did I tell you, I guess I did not, but first part of this game is hind of sandbox/world building - all I have is map picture, every location, npc, event or discovery is my improvisation) will narrate the results in few hours

it is any time of day you want it to be - we will not be measuring time or accounting rations in this oneshot, you can hunt, take time and take your long rests whenever you want ... until I explicitly say otherwise because time is ticking and something bad is going to happen soon

played in a few games here GP so far. always thought it would be nice to see other party member's char sheet. just happened to click on krynt's char img and saw the char sheet, but didn't work for garran or atticus "No Character Found".

@PbPgameOn It is player's decision if they allow other players to see their charactersheets (though UX for that is counter intuitive - you go to your character list and press icon right of pencil, having tooltip "Add to Library"). And it appears Library is something other players could visit and read

@solose there is a difference between "flowing river" and "river stone", isn't there? I was narrating second not the first, didn't I? I can - if you wish - narrate the herbs are hallucinogens and made your PC see river where there is just a fireplace , or feel free edit your post if that was simply your as a player mistake

Forgive me, this is my mistake, i will fix it.
Edit: Fix it👍

It feels unnecessary of you, GreyWord, to take issue with Solose's post. You wrote "river stones," which brings a river to mind. You don't need to make fun of the situation by mentioning hallucinations.

Im confused, i have bad grammar, idk what did you mean by that? 🤔
It is "flowing river" because its flowing? Or "river stones" because the river has stones?

Now it's my turn to be confused, tell me which item need to clarify:
1. There is no river in the scene, I have never narrated any river
2. When I say "River stones" I mean a naturally smoothed, rounded rocks (most probably picked from river and carried all the way over to here)

Ah, forgive me, my brain instantly turn "River" into actual river scene. I wasn't pay attension at all. Going to fix it.
