I'll post a game advance this weekend.

[Zhym]

Is it possible to make actions contingent on initiative and what the enemies do? Basically, if the blindness starts wearing off, I'd like Kurot to start the eye-flashy thing again. If he wins initiative before the blindness wears off, he'd keep firing the rifle. But if he loses initiative and sees that the enemies are no longer blinded, he'd start flashing his eyes at them again. Is that something that's possible, or do I need to declare a single action regardless of initiative or what he sees the enemies do?

You really need to declare the action before seeing what actions others take. Turns happen so fast that last-second changes stretches the intent of the fast-paced combat round.

Kurot lays down a barrage of fire to cover the others' retreat. He moves to the edge of the combat (South, if that's the way people are moving) to be ready for his own speedy escape.

Kurot has the advantage that he's really fast. When everyone else is disengaged, Kurot will rapidly go from being the rear guard to the vanguard.

Nice Aliens reference!

Sorry, all. I’m dealing with a family emergency right now, so my posting rate will continue to be sporadic.

[Edeldhur]

Make sure to take care of yourself and your family.
All the best!

[shaidar]

Sorry to hear that, and hope it's resolved for the best.

Sorry to hear that Norjax. I absolutely get that. Family first. You’re in my prayers.

[Edeldhur]

Sorry to hear it - best wishes!

[Norjax]

Thanks, all. I'll post a game update this week.

[Edeldhur]

Hey Norjax and everyone - wanted to thank you for allowing me to be a part of the game, and trying out MCC!

While I've enjoyed the opportunity, I'm finding that I'm not quite connecting with this particular game as much as I'd hoped, whether it's the story, the pace, or my character.

So I've decided to bow out and make space for someone who might be a better fit and more engaged with it.

Again, thank you for the opportunity, and see you around the boards!

Sorry to see you go Edeldhur.
