Everyone has their characters in position or moved to the bar except for Phanna. I'll work on a post tonight after @vietmyke has a chance to react to everything that's happened. Unless everyone wants a chance to exchange introductions and interact with one another before Telma lays down their game plan.

Also made a Map for the street.

Wait, is he out? I must've misunderstood Raddum]s post and missed that last night then (which would make sense, considering I was operating half-asleep). If that is the case, I for one hope @Raddum reconsiders, since it sounds like the pace issue was talked through and resolved. Dekkun was a wonderful addition to the team too, would be a shame to lose him.

I'm not a super fast-paced poster either (usually few times a week/every other day at max, unless work or life gives me sudden extra responsibilities), but since RPs tend to be much faster in the beginning when everyone is excited and still trying to find common ground, I'm usually not worried about the pace in the start. It tends to even out pretty nicely, and now we talked it through anyway.

If he did leave over this, I do feel personally responsible, since if I hadn't been bombarded with things yesterday, I could have posted and none of this would've happened.

Don’t blame yourself. This is my failure as the GM. I created the mugger to give everyone something to do while we waited for (what I anticipated to be a couple of days) everyone to finish their initial posts. It backfired horribly and I’ve learned a lot over this weekend.

If Raddumn (or anyone) finds the pace more managable in a few weeks they’ll always be welcome to rejoin. And I want it to be known that I’m not upset for his reasons to drop and only blame myself.
On another note, I do have the concern that the cast is not getting time to breathe between these GM events but it is what it is.


I’ll be moving at a slower pace from here on out.
Yeah, sorry. I think this is just generally going to be too speedy for me.

I'm used to more slow-paced activity, I'm not suited for a large group like this.


In my experiences rps always slow down after the first day. I’ll keep a more manageable pace for now. Sorry again.
@Product
I'm not real clear on the distance between the alleyway and the back lot of Telma's with the shrubbery, and I kind of intended Drifter to be sort of unseen in the background until the rest of the characters made their way back there, so as not to overcrowd the potential fight scene. Should I assume this wasn't the case, and Telma's addressing him with the rest? It's not that I don't want to interact with everyone else, it's just that I didn't want to charge in and make the scene even more chaotic since it seemed fairly clear it was about to be a "THE BEACONS ARE LIT, GONDOR CALLS FOR AID" moment as everyone rushes to save Dekkunda.

Would it be okay if I just had him feel an unusual draft or something, then find the well on his own? Is it under a bush or overgrowth like in Link to the Past?


That’ll work well! (Ba dum tish) The well is overgrown like in a Link to the Past.
Nobody is at risk of being left behind. I only wanted to move the scene from the wet street into the bar while everyone introduced themselves. I apologize if I’m moving too quick. I was a little over excited to start.
Hyrule Castle Town - Green District


Telma's Bar


In a flurry, the mugger found himself surrounded. Turning to face the glowing knight behind him, the lowlife took a well trained defensive stance. For a brief moment, he looked prepared to fight his way out, but before he could strike he was interrupted by a stray crossbow bolt.

*Swoosh*

Under the heavy rain and wind combined with the commotion in the alley, it was doubtful anyone could hear the heavy bolt of the backdoor unlatch. Stepping into the rain, a tall, shapely figure emerged with a crossbow in hand. As she rounded the corner, the features of a middle-aged gerudo woman became apparent to the party before she fired a shot between the two. "The next shot won't miss." She warned everyone in her alley. Realizing he was outnumbered, and out classed the mugger dropped his knife. "You're interrupting our poker game. Now scram!"

Reluctantly, everyone had to let the man go through. There was an important mission to be had, and there was no time to go turn in this scum. Once the street was finally clear of any locals, Telma gave a big wink to the misfit party as she gestured for the group to follow her through the back door, nearly tripping over the shrub that seemed to have just sprouted up over night. And why did that magician summon a boulder in the alley? "C'mon, friends," She announced to everyone, barely noticing the dressed shadow that had just scaled the wall. "Lets get out of this rain."

"Was he trying to drop the boulder on him?" Telma muttered beneath her breath.

As the group began to pour in, the Barkeeper left the back door open, letting the cool air into the bar, and leaving the room inviting to anyone else who had heard the message from the Queen.
@AtomicNut Are you posting now? I'm working on something that'll clear up this fight and leave plenty of time for everyone else to post who hasn't arrived yet. I can have it up in a few minutes, but I'll wait if you've started something.
I still think we need to chill until the GM gets back around.

He's gonna sign in and shit himself at the sight of the OOC


*nervous sweats*

Okay, moving forward we won't made adjustments just when they suit our needs. If the consensus is that people want the backstory or post changed to reflect what happened, I PM'd @Perascamin some suggestions so his post can stick to his character's backstory without anyone else needing to make edits.

This is a new RP and new people are on the site. Let's try and make a good impression.
Think of the mugger as a reward for posting first.
