And back I am. Exhausted, certainly, and may need a while for that to wear off, but I'm once more here to read and even write!

Should have been writing posts. Took part in D&D shenaniganry instead. Got to fix that tomorrow.

There's a lot of backlog here on my end. I'm trying my best to lessen it, but replies might be less frequent for a time. A welcome change from the nothing doing I went through though! Thanks partners!
Bio
I suppose it is about time for me to copypaste fill in some information about myself over here just as well. Only took me a few years to getting around to do it.
I am a married individual in my twenties from the country some people dare claim does not exist. The Finland conspiracy is an old joke, you can stop with it now. Not a native speaker of the English language by any means, though I did begin studying it exceptionally early for our country's standards. I suppose it was some sort of a test case. With that out of the way though, what more should I be saying here...
I like being nice to people. If one needs to ask why, well that alone is reason enough.
I play and Dungeon Master Dungeons and Dragons, both offline and in the past also over here.
I enjoy OOC chatter, be it planning the RP or a more casual exchange (not that RP'ing is that serious). I can make do without, but don't be afraid to talk to me.
Whatever the case, I'm here to have fun and hone my writing abilities!
I do think that should about cover it, yes.
Thanks for stopping by I suppose! I do also have a Discord account, but I prefer to start anything RP related on the site. At least with people I don't know from the past, that is! But hey, now if you are a longer time contact of mine and happened to read this, now you know and can ask!
@Lucius Cypher Feel free to! Yeah, my version has quite a bit too much empty space in it to be honest, so an actually accurate map could serve both sides better. Easier to tell attacks of opportunity and all that. Anyways, it would be Orchid's turn to roll.
Technically since the Kobold was affected by Faerie Fire, Brannor would have got advantage on their roll. However, since the strike lands and kills either way, I don't deem it necessary to for the other attack and potential critical.
The victim of the attack soon became a casualty of war, leaving behind but a bleeding carcass as the warrior's ferocious strike connected with their flesh. The kobolds were quite frail creatures, as had become evident over the progress of this night... Luckily for the saviours-to-be of Greenest, the opposition once again was made up of mostly them.
In the cramped room most of the opposition was still distracted by the sudden magic assisted assault, with one exception. The man sized drake somewhat at the back roared at the approaching human and half-orc, in it's behaviour hinting a swift counterattack. While this might have been worrisome in the normal situation, the creature was now covered in glittering Faerie Fire and thus appeared quite a bit less threatening.
@Phoenix Since it's simply out of turn, I'll disregard it until your turn rolls around. Of course, if you do save it somewhere and repost it once your turn arrives, all the better.
@Phoenix The team is currently behind the door labeled "Entrance". The Sally Port is both the title and the broken open entryway at the top of the map.
Your spot in the initiative order is at the top, which would mean that you will have to wait until the tracker roams back to your position.
Typing of entry is done. Initiative tracker is on the "Characters" tab as before. This time I decided to show when the enemies will act since the start was rather unusual and could have otherwise led to posting out of turn in the future. Who is who will be revealed on their respective turns.
Also, given how small the room is, our melee combatants should be able to reach any target they want. Just keep the Oppourtunity Attacks in mind if you charge in deep.
Ramando stands guard next to Parum, readying an action to attack anyone that enters his reach.
Parum readies a casting of Faerie Fire, to be casted upon any enemies that may be in the room.
Ashkar assaults the room with Orchid.
Orchid assaults the room with Ashkar.
However, given how your choice of movement is not mine to make, I will rather let the two latter ones of you decide it for yourselves.
In the tense silence that hung in the air, the party could barely make out some noise from behind the door. The guards were not ones to delay, and as Parum prepared her spell, one of the men began showing numbers with his hand. Five fingers up... four fingers up... The two bigger frontline combatants prepared to strike as this countdown neared completion. Three, two, one... And then the soldier flung the door open and jumped clear, to both not stand in the way of the chargers and to avoid any possible potshots at him. Luckily enough, as soon as the door opened anyone who was there got a face full of Faerie Fire and were not really ready to shoot as they focused on dodging.
The box like room that now has several magical lights floating in it and on some of the people and creatures contained within, although they do little in the sense of providing extra light as a hooded lantern with it's hood up was already set on a barrel in back of the room. Other than that barrel, there are only few furnishings in the space, leaving it mostly barren, spare for a human figure, four kobolds, and one of those rather large sized drake things you've seen earlier from a distance that were standing guard. Some of them are frantically trying to get the lights off them, while some seem rather content they didn't catch any in the first place.
All the enemies in the room are now lit. Two of the kobolds, one at the front and one at the back are now sparkling with magical light, as is the drake.
Sorry about still not knowing how to make grids easily in Gimp, but I trust you will be able to use this for info.
Also, I have updated the topic to say Apply and the 1st post to contain the following: "There is a single spot free, preferably for someone willing to fill in on the less-than-desirable healing capabilities of the party. This is not a requirement, but in case of multiple applications I will look upon it beneficially." None of my former contacts decided to join in the end.
@Lucius Cypher Well, I cannot quite tell you that. There has been kind of a standoff at the door with neither side being willing to open it, in case the other is expecting it. All they can tell is that they assume there is at least one human and a few of those lizards.
