It, uh, it's fine.
Just, IRL stuff comes first in an RP but there is still a certain level of commitment that goes into it. Please remember that in the future. And please, try to bulk up your posts a little, they're way too simple.
In the end, space in an RP is never an issue friend. You can have one RP lasting 10 pages or one that lasts upwards of 100 or more. Of course I don't know the specific mechanics you have but like I said, a new topic may be good to separate the pure fights and the story.
If you allow the players more freedom and you can trust that freedom will not be abused it'll be a much more enjoyable experience for all. You could employ a system like the Ymora RP where every fight is done in a separate thread as announced to be recapped in the main IC. It allows both smooth story progression and fights for the RPers to experience.
Uh, might I just say that a host performing a battle like that is rather strange. Why not allow the players to go about it as is? Surely that would be more enjoyable for all?
