Oh, not saying it doesn't make sense. It does, from all of us.
But this is the first time that my character's being ethically at odds with the team can cause a rift. Thinking how to play it out. Because even if the kobolds here turn out to be evil/bad, Zesty has interacted with the Dragon's Rest kobolds enough to feel they are the victimized here, even if you've intimated they are the aggressors.
Zesty is smart. Especially after the kobold's turn, it's clear they are serving an entity. As the Dragon's Rest ones serve Runara/Bahamut/bronze dragons, these are clearly sided with some blue dragon/entity that Runara alluded to. Since this is a good/evil thing with the dragons (again, as Runara explained), there is almost a clear indication these creatures are "bad" or sided with the baddie. But they are also sentient creatures with skills, personalities and abilities. The Owlbear is a predatory and dangerous creature. So, Zesty wants to save the kobolds because they could be of use if nothing more. This isn't the end boss, and clearly making good with them could lead to opportunities. Wiping them out because we want play time with a predatory creature turns Zesty.
Like the merrows and harpies before them, sentient creatures often will give us more dialogue and information, and he is literally watching his whole team actively trying to kill the sentient creatures in favor of TV Funhouse. So now he has to think how this affects his relationship with his team.
Hey, backstory, friends! Shows I AM thinking about this shit behind the scenes. I'm enjoying this!
OP
That nipple is remarkably disturbing...
I tried to remove it but then it stopped showing me owlbears
Maybe that is how @April Fool looks when he shapeshifts into an owlbear
Too low level for that, right now I can only become the nipple.
Kill everyone equally?
I counted out the spaces and saw the Kobolds as ~60 feet away, the horse was the only one fast enough to make it in a single go, so I went with that.
Also @Ben - Wolf Order appears to still be injured from the original battle. Do they eventually heal or do I use them until they die and then get to turn into a different one later?

They'd reset after you leave that form. You get fresh HP each time you change into something. I just forgot to reset it.

For real. I can't have an iframe wider than 600 without it looking shitty on the compact layout, I guess.
I don't know if this'd even be more useful than just the initiative... OR I could just give you the link to bookmark for this, and not drop the iframe into every post.
It keeps moving around by itself

This is because I have trapped a demon within that URL, and it is struggling to break free of your device as we speak.
It's because I'm adjusting and moving shit around on the DM side. It's a live-link, so you'll see stuff changing as I change it.
This is supposed to be used for displaying all of the information you need to during an actual tabletop/live game. You can move the windows around yourself, too, to get them how you'd want them. It's just kinda janky on mobile since it has to be crammed down so small.
On desktop, it looks like this, so I'm annoyed at it not super working on mobile.

Moving boxes around. They're ordered weirder on portrait layout so they might not have actually been moving for you.

Just try it in the link rather than the iframe. Might work better.

Agreed. The iframes just don't work, and GWF keeps bumping the page around for some reason whenever they load. I'm just going to stop trying to be fancy like that.
I'm going to keep this thing up a link you can click and it should have the initiative right at the top, with the image where I'll drop the map, objectives, etc, etc. That "world time" is just a 24 hour clock to track where it is in the day, so 12am to 11pm. I put everyone's gold into a ledger card to track total wealth, when you spend something I'll take it out of there. You guys can also have such a thing as "group loot" too, where you've agreed to share X and it's not specifically belonging to someone.
I did put objectives up on there for you to track. Seemed like a decent idea. It's a tasklist, with checkboxes, so that's fun.
Yeah, it's happened a few times. I leave the page open almost all the time on my desktop for quick reference. And you beat me to the punch on quite a few things. Essentially, you nuke something, and it's still on my screen. So when I go to remove it, it tweeks out because it's already gone. I've gotten used to it. Lol
This is actually really really cool.
OP
That is weird, since it's supposed to be all synched up so you can use your character sheet live, with me making edits too... Oh well, I'll try to limit when I knock shit off your sheet, or just let you guys do it yourselves... If you remember.
I'm not bothered by it. It doesn't break anything and I just need to get in the habit of refreshing the page. I try to remember inventory changes, but I do forget, at least immediately, sometimes, so I appreciate knowing you have my back if I do.
I wish the map stayed up all the time, is my only gripe with D&DB. I like seeing that to analyze it and make determinations and to see where we all are. But unless you're actively running it, the map is inaccessible.
For example, that most recent post, I wanted to see what the map had to offer, but I was limited, without backsearching too much, to the most recent image, which I couldn't see the winch or matching stars that, based on the bridge, I can only assume are more dragon statues. So I missed trying to investigate more than just the obvious thing in the middle of the room.
That said, I feel like I may be dominating everything, so if I need to back off, please tell me. I don't want to be doing EVERYTHING and taking fun away from the others.
OP
I'll find another option or doing the map, then... I could just put it into this thing somehow, I'd just need to find an easy enough way to do the fog of war. That's the primary thing DDB does, but yeah, the not-always-active maps is annoying for our purposes, when not doing it live.
OP
I dunno, the rest of the team may want to kill them instead.

@Ben - How quickly can I create a zipline using my crossbow, a bolt and the rope in my inventory to go get that friggin key?

LOL! Fair, but... how would they get back?
