Comment on “Lurker's Corner ~ A Cold Examination of the Barrow Fight”

I think I reacted too strongly to this comment. The part about "staying up [above the barrow] until Friday":

I read it and thought, "Oh, then I should just get Gudbrand out of here so that the game goes faster." It seemed like I was dragging things out unnecessarily.

But I should have confirmed with you and the party whether I was actually moving too slow and whether removing myself until Friday (or whenever) was OK, instead of just immediately choosing to run away.

I wasn't expecting you at all to say that I had an axe after I explained I hadn't bought one. That seemed to go against your normal principles (e.g. not letting Engelhart retroactively apply his reduction to falling damage.)

What was it that made you rule one way and not the other? They both seem like the same category of error.

Reasons I can think of: sticking to precedent established by the attack roll you made (which didn't bother me btw); not wanting to waste more time; more lenient with "forgot-to-get-weapon" error than "forgot-to-apply-ability" error; willing to overlook errors since I brought up my real life business.
