Okay this may make me the asshole here, but so be it.
First we need to all take a serious look at what was actually said and done, and cue off that not the "thought balloons" so to speak. I think maybe we all need to communicate with each other more here, otherwise I know I will continue to be frustrated.
Ancient what the hell are we doing here? Is this scene important to kill this much time on? I mean I have posted on a regular basis here, and the game has gone dick forward in my opinion. Hell as far as I can tell reika, Scamp, Kai and I are the only ones playing.
I admit this may not be couth, so feel free to rip me a new one.

I dunno, the pacing just seems off. The times where we could have gotten into character interaction seemed to be cut short and now really doesn't seem the time to be having long discussions even though we seem to have the time.

No arguements from me Paul. TBH I thought the game had died for awhile there, hence why I hadn't done very much for a bit since I was afraid I was hogging the spotlight. I have been trying to help get the game get going, but was told that PB3s are like this.
I also agree a hundred percent about the thought bubbles stuff, especially seeing my char is very good at picking up the attitudes of the people around her. She may not say the right things being that she's a paladin and everyone else is a bit more laid back, but she can pick up on the 'tudes.
I think part of the problem is the number of people we have. The weird thing is I can handle up to 6 people in an irc game, yet I think that's too many for a PB3. Those of us who can post more often will leave the others in the dust without meaning to.

Sorry--I'm out-of-town and haven't been able to check up in the last few days.
The game's pace is as slow as the slowest poster, I'm afraid. I really thought it had died too.
The reason this "scene" is taking so long is because your characters tend not to do much...they talk, they have personalities, etc. but there's not much...action. we've spent the last dozen posts and couple weeks half-discussing whether or not to head toward the light.
I want you all to post the actions your character does...if someone does not post, either ask me what they're doing or assume that they're following the majority of the group. Actions can be short, or detailed, I really don't care. "I stealthily walk skirt around the village toward the light." works fine.

Well that's unfortunatly part of the character. Koriel doesn't do much unless asked or following Luadril. I've done what I can, and I guess that's my fault for making a passive character in a non character driven PB3 , but it would break character quite a bit for her to be proactive or forward in any way.

I dinnae care is you're character's a submissive and wants Luadril as her dominatrix! You could dote, or look around, or follow her around like a lost puppy, or well...I dunno. I don't want to preach tot he choir on this, unfrotuantely, I think that's who's listening.
Also, Reika: As you hover above the trees, you notice a /great/ deal of smoke coming from the direction of the village, more than is normal...it seems like something large is on fire.

Sorry... I've been more or less incommunicado for the past month or so, so I haven't posted either, to, well, anything.

Okay, Initiative is as follows: Luadril first, then Rasiel and Torin, then Selreth and Koriel, then Razbar, then your scaly opponents, and then Jarthal.
The three reptilian humanoids are 30 feet away and currently moving toward you across the ashy, smoking ground.
Luadril, are you making a melee attack? If so, let me no if you're using any options like "Full Attack."

I would advise waiting to see what others do, but I'll leave it to you.
Flying charge...add modifier for masterwork weapon (I assume you're using the masterwork longsword?)...and roll damage...ooh, max damage, that's messy...add strength modifier...right, you kill your opponent with that attack. Feel free to post the combat and the result with flavor text, Reika, unless you want me to.
Torin: you don't spot any real cover on the ashy field, unless you want to cover yourself in ash and lie down in it.
