"That's true! Mare and Tinker too . . ."

"Oh . . . I see," Lee said. He hadn't known things were that way. Lee just sighs and looks at his hands. "So much for a big surprise"

"Well that's handy," Penn commented.

March snorted darkly, "I don't think you have much of a choice." This guy had officially pissed him off (not that that's hard to do). March turned to June pointing at Rye. His joints felt less sore for some reason. "Watch after this guy too, we're taking him along." June raised an eyebrow. "But he's not really involved is he?" "He knows them, that's enough. He could be in-valuable when we get to the questioning stage." June just shrugged.

Is this based on the one post Lamaery made on insta recently? I personally didn't enjoy it, but I think it was mostly meant as a joke (if not ignore me lolll)

It works, and they don't seem him move, but his shot misses because of the awkward positioning.

There are not, the bandits are mostly gathered around the center fire pit, and Lusha's tree.

The arrow slams into one of the wagon's wooden boards. Another one is fired, closer to getting him but the wagon make a good shield.

He falls to the ground dead. Their archer turns and fires at Tenth.

Welcome to the Shard! Many find that Twok is a bit difficult to get into because of the length and the complexity of issues being addressed. I'd recommend to stick with it, the climax of the book is amazing! Finding a book hard to read isn't a bad thing, just sign that you're growing!

Popping in as an 'RP person' after skimming through your points a bit: By 'top posts' are you referring to the posts labeled on the side of the thread as having the highest rep? (it's usually 1-2). If so, I would argue that having those top posts in the RP thread is still relevant, in some cases the most repped post are posts that give important details and information. That, and sometimes a post is most popular in an RP because it was particularly funny or well done. While I agree this means it can be somewhat out of context, I think that sometimes having random jokes tacked on the side while playing is kind of fun. (I made a stupid joke in Cosmere HG, and the fact that it's forever immortalized in the thread stats on the side makes me smile) That said, it is less important, so if It had to be removed I wouldn't complain. I'm actually on another forum where this is done on the whole site and within the RP section, and it helps a lot. You know when a joke lands if you get laughs, and you know when a joke doesn't land when you don't lol. It really helps with communication and gauging who has seen and interacted with what when it comes to the group. Additionally, that site shows you who the post was reacted too by (you click on the reactions at the bottom and it shows you a list of names). I really like this for inside and outside of the RP section because it helps you know who saw your communication and what they felt about it. It helps a lot with clarity. I know there is some merit to anonymity, but I personally wouldn't mind things being un-anonymus when it comes to reactions. I like this a lot too, though I don't think the most common reaction should be interpreted as the vibe of the RP, lol. There's a good deal of joking around that happens out-of-character in very serious role plays, so if this did happen, then it wouldn't be the most accurate gauge of emotion. Personally, I find myself never looking at the titles, and instead the number of rep on an individual. The rep count will tell me how much someone has contributed to the community, but the title is just a title (I don't have the ranking of them all memorized besides the first few, so the title for 1000 rep is the same to me as the title for 3000 rep). That's entirely my subjective opinion, however.

He nodded, taking the first left. "Is this Shadow dimension just there, I do we need to do something to enter it?"

"There's ten of them, and three of us," Nera replied nervously. That seemed beyond her. "Why don't--why don't you try and take out a few, I'll run into the woods and shoot from there so it's harder for them to find me. Hopefully that'll be enough to give Lusha an opening?" Nera made her decision, creeping further into the woods, and moving around Lusha's tree. She shot a bolt at one of the bandits and it got him in the knee. The others were confused, assuming that it had somehow come from Lusha. Nera managed to hit a second one in the eye, taking him out completely, before they realized there was someone else in the woods.

"That doesn't mean I'm going to answer!"

"That's a question I could ask you!" Mami said, still watching.

Nera's followed it, and she spotted a tree with a weird vine thing in it, bandits completely surrounding it. She'd have to get closer to take a shot, so she crept along the edge of the woods, still staying out of site. When she got there, it was clear there were to many for her to shoot on her own, and they'd definitely spot her after one shot. She stopped, looking up, unsure what to do.

The bandit released his bow, and his arrows slammed into her vine cocoon, making the whole thing shake. She could her the other bandits still climbing up to her. ----- Nera saw the vine emerge and nearly tripped over it. "What the . . . "

The dude is flung. He hits the ground with a practiced roll. "Mami, those magic thingies are strong," He tells the woman. Mami nods, watching 3 more of the other bandits climb up. "We've got her surrounded, she'll run out of mana or something." Another man nearby loads a bow of his own, aiming at Lusha.

He pulled out a knife and starting sawing threw.
