Doublepost by accident. But this is going to be fun. I hope you also take time to check out the harmonica video.

Courage · Jul 19, 2012

Gamble smiles and pulls out his harmonica. As he masterfully plays his instrument, arcane energy surges into the bodies of him and his allies.

What's the deal with the log in the road? What modifiers does it give?
Exactly which squares does the log occupy?

GM:

The log gives partial cover to the creatures on either side of it (+2 AC). The log fully occupies squares Q1, P4, and P5 (counting as difficult terrain just to enter the square). The other squares are just partially occupied (counting as difficult terrain only when trying to cross the log, such as moving from P3 to Q3). If your plan was to charge orc 2 (or adjacent orc), you could do so legally, but the orc would gain the AC bonus against your attack. Also, Etharia was not able to finish her turn because she had an appointment to go to. Until she is able to post, I don't think it would be a problem putting up your actions. If something drastic happens, we can always rewind. For example, if Lissa decides to throw a stone at one of the orcs, we would resolve it as if you were not in melee with it.

The harmonica performance continues to sweep up and down the forest trail, filling this part of the Fangwood with inspiring music, and making an odd accompaniment to the battle cries and orc grunts. You notice that the performance somehow seems to incorporate several more instrument types than just the harmonica. Gamble pulls the harmonica away from his lips and smiles, before returning the instrument to its pocket; the music hangs in the air and continues on.

The gnome moves closer towards the orcs, taking cover behind the lion along the way.
