((There's absolutely no reason to take everything, especially since most of it is somewhat ruined 

But speaking of things, did everyone remember to bring rations? Did you make sure to get iron rations? Otherwise, we're gonna have a lot of hungry people in a day or two.))

((Just for convenience's sake: Lagolass is also an elf. He's a second-rank fighter with a shortbow and a polearm for reach. Thanks to bad rolls he is squishy, so don't expect him to be tanking any time soon. He is Neutral.
He knows two spells: Sleep and Shield.))

Lagolass takes the drenched longsword, the 14 arrows our dead comrade had, one of the vials, and his share of coin.

"Amazing he survived as long as he did with those injuries. He must have been very strong." Lagolass makes a ritualistic hand gesture before returning his gaze (and his tracking bow) to the small group's surroundings. Using his infravision and ability to pick out fine details, he hunts for any extra supplies that might be lying around. Perhaps these people were not the first ones to take a tumble into this pit.

...Are you suggesting that everyone posts in the order that their initiative is? Because that's kind of... stupid.

That's how it goes in literally every single D&D game I've played. Otherwise you have chaos as intended targets die (or become invalid targets), spells shoot off in every direction changing the very face of the battlefield, and that nice bit of cover you were running for no longer exists.

Outside of encounters you can be a bit more free-form, but combat needs to be somewhat structured for the initiative system to work.

So...why not just use a regular revolver? I assume that, in a game that revolves around murdering other players and generally trying to screw everyone over, it's possible to kill yourself.

I'm assuming you mean the Mjölnir symbol, but perhaps I could interest you in [⚒], or [🔨], if you can see it? (The latter, if you can't, is a unicode character of a single hammer. It doesn't show up on the forum for me, but as far as I can tell, it shows up on Google Sheets.)

You could also go for ☭ but that seems more like a Vostoch kind of thing to me

Oooo, I like that first one. I know Thor was more of a one-hammer guy, but I'd rather have two crossed hammers than a carpenter's tool

"Could it be some sort of...alien machine-spirit maintaining the ship's systems?" Maxwell directs the question towards the tech-priests. He knew a little about such things from his void-traveling upbringing, but nowhere near enough to answer that sort of tricky question.
