How wide and tall are the city gates? Wondering about the chance of Summoning Boulders to back it up.

Also would I be able to create a rough barbell shape on summoned rocks, so they could be fairly easily split to make 2 boulders for the defenders to use?

Walls are 40 feet tall.

Summoning boulders is possible, with a food number of raises for size and to get stone instead of dirt. Shaping would be more Raises.

So, 1 raise to make it stone, and an additional raise to shape it as mentioned? And then another raise to increase size from 1 cubic foot to 2 cubic feet, correct?

Sounds about right.

Are there umbrellas in the castle that can be borrowed?

Are there bow and arrows available for player characters to borrow/use in events or is it use what you have?

Question!

Is it possible to buy any musical instruments in town? Specifically, looking for a hand-drum as I'm thinking of providing some "inspirational marching music" for the refugees-thread.

How does the new Bishamon's Blessing interact with raising for damage? Do you get a discount of 1 raise minimum 1, or does it have no effect? Or some other possibility I'm not seeing?

Question about Initiative and Stance.

Since we are in a PbP, whenever a player rolls initiative and declares their stance first, they get into a disadvantageous position. This means that the next player in the skirmish that opposes the first player has all the information necessary to select the best Stance after knowing the results of his/her own Initiative Roll.

It might encourage players wait for others to post first, so they have a better glimpse of the odds and use that in their favor.

I understand this is a minor issue, and that it has happened in other games, too. The main solution I know many use is to have: player 1 rolling initiative; player 2 rolling both initiative and showing stance; then allow the courtesy of player 1 select stance, afterwards.

Is there a definitive ruling for this conflict on HT?

Drums shouldn't be a problem.

Essentially, Raises for Damage cost one Raise regardless of whether you have Bishamon's Blessing or not.

Just roll initiative and post your stance in the combat thread. We are not implementing any stage-2 workarounds.

As pretty important combat events are happening at the moment, one question. If we do any non-panicky slots in EE or LE, are we looking at potential paradoxes? Are we going to be busy being slaughtered potentially?

There may be paradoxes, yes.

We'll know more once we get to the second combat event, which will happen once the Rain of Death event is complete.

So safer not to do anything EE-LE until we know more. Gotcha!

How long will it take to travel to Nikesake with the refugees on foot, and then back again?
