I didn't realize that the blackblade was already dead. I typically read the posts of other players for fluff and dialogue, then make my tactical decisions based on the map.
I can either rework my turn, or we can just turn my attack onto the Dark Servant, as he was in range when I made it.
As an aside, chanus. Would it be terribly difficult to switch to google as your image hosting service?

One other question - I'm not next to my books, so I don't remember if this is a houserule.
I've usually played that the person doing the final strike on a creature can chose to make it a killing or incapacitation strike. (e.g. Wil can choose to knock the goblin down/out vs. killing him - assuming his attack hits, of course.) Basically means that if you don't need a PC with high intimidation skill to finish off someone for questioning since most PC's have an easier time hitting than intimidating. (Intimidation still has a strong place since it allows someone with high intimidation to "one-shot" an NPC at 50% of it's HP - something few PC's can do with damage.)
Can't remember if that is regulation or houserule though...

I think that's a houserule, but I like it.
I would rule that it allows you to basically stop the creature from running and fighting back for a round, but I would still want to see skill checks to get any information out of it (or to accomplish whatever other purpose you would have for not killing it outright).
Mantle of Elation (+2 Diplomacy, Intimidate) + Half Elf (+1 Diplomacy) is what we've got going right now.
Elated Emotions would change the bonus from +2 from the mantle to my Con bonus of +4.
So everyone around me would probably actually be more diplomatic/intimidating than me if you were actually trained. Which would be pretty funny, what with my racial bonuses and insane Charisma.
By the way, since the unarmed, cloth wearing one is being intimidating - though not with my terrible roll - I'm throwing some psionic-ish flavor text around things like my indimidate and diplomacy rolls.
Oh - also, I'm assuming from the background information and size of the village that Aria and Wil would have a passing knowledge of each other. (village isn't all that large, and they're roughly the same age)
I'm assuming Aria doesn't know anyone else, though she could have seen Vilmak around a bit.

I would say we're talking roughly a population of five or six thousand, so it's possible you'd know each other, but also possible you wouldn't... as it were :P

So, we'll say you hit the Dark Servant, who is now dead after Lilika's turn.
Should the save-e roll them, or should I roll for them?

Same with powers that allow another character to do triggered melee attacks. I find this to be the best way.
He doesn't have any bonuses to saves vs ongoing, does he?

I'm on fire. Well, he's on fire, but I'm rolling really well.

I find that in a PbP it goes much faster if I take these actions for the character in question.
I check first (and if anyone needs to do something for me, feel free) but I find the game moves much faster that way
After a charge you're done. No more actions. So Stone's Endurance beforehand instead of after.
I doubt it's a huge thing now, but it might be one of these days.

It doesn't look like it's going to change the outcome of the fight.

Not sure, but I think you used the link to the picasa page vs. the link to the image itself.
Does this work?

the one you used did not.
And thank you for being so accomodating!
The current link seems to be working.
thank you!

Don't forget that while you're near me you get +2 to Intimidate and +3 to Diplomacy.
I'm considering taking the feat that would make it +4 and +5 respectively. Free skill trainings for everyone seems kind of cool.

Edit: Oh and the knocking out instead of killing at 0 hp is a normal rule if it matters.

Are we out of initiative?
Edit: And I learned something today :P
Oh the appropriate irony.
