Yet another GP question

[merlin34baseball]

Hello All!

I was wondering if the delay in using a potion in combat with a death resulting in a SS loss is redeemable with a GP?

I lost a SS due to the person I was traveling with's familiar dragging a whole spawn to us while I was resting. So I was mobbed by about 10 trolls. They were only doing 6-10 damage a hit so I was slowly dying. I finally decided to just start downing potions until my companion could buff me during the battle and then I could wail on them. I must have clicked on the potion button 20 times and never once drank a potion, while I watched my HPs slowly go away.

So SS loss number 9. I only have one GP left and would rather use it now than on his 10th death. And in reality I havn't really played since then as I was rather upset with the way the loss went down, and I'm hoping this is a use of a GP so I can get back in game!

My thanks for your thoughts,
Merlin34

So... any ideas? Anyone?

While not a game master, looking at all the past threads, irc conversations etc, I think the general answer is go ahead and submit it, and if it gets denied it gets denied, but don't be afraid to submit it.

Yes, I'd say this is reimbursable by GP since you think it was due to combat lag and the potions not taking effect as expected.

Thanks for the info.

I would like to add that the other day Tralek was out and had a stack of 10 cure light target potions (green ones) and I went to use them up after a battle (combat music was off and no fighting) to heal myself up; I qued about 4-6 of them all at once.  I just sat there bobing up and down for about 6-7 seconds doing nothing; then finally they all healed at the same time.

I wonder if it is not a good idea to que more than one potion at a time because this "delay result"?  Anyone have any ideas or similar happenings?

Thanks
