[QUOTE="JimAde, post: 2765782, member: 16739"] Girble tries to hurry safely down the rope ladder to confront the archers circling its base, but between trying to avoid arrows and climbing with only one hand, he misses a rung and crashes to the ground 15 feet below. He is surrounded by three bugbears with longbows, each about 10 feet away. He also sees a fourth who is, to all appearances, dancing nervously about in place with his hands hands over his mouth. "Having a tizzy" is the phrase that leaps incongruously to Girble's mind as he climbs to his feet. [Color=Red]Climb check against DC 10: Roll 10 -1 for Strength, -2 for climbing one handed. Girble falls and takes 3 points of damage. Making an assumption for d20Dazza here:[/Color] Erethinol sees the halfling priest fall and leaps to his assistance. She drops down the ladder, barely touching it as she all but falls. Nevertheless, she lands nimbly at Girble's side. Glancing quickly around, she sees what Girble saw and also notes the cloud of dust and debris kicked up at one end of the tunnel by Donnybrook's fall. In the other direction, the tunnel continues beyond her range of sight. [Color=Red]Climb check 9 + 7 + 2 (Bull's Strength) - 2 (one handed) = 16 vs. Same DC as Girble (10). She makes it handily.[/Color] Sirius starts climbing down and estimates that between him and the ground is now about 25 feet. He can't see the bugbears yet because they form a circle outside his limited field of vision looking down the narrow shaft. Lucas drops to the bottom of the shaft. Glancing quickly in the direction opposite the new opening, he barely sees several figures about 40 feet away. From their location he guesses it's his friends and probably several enemies, but it's impossible to tell who is who through all the dust and debris the bridge fall has kicked up. In fact he can't see much of anything other than Donnybrook. [Color=Red]The dust cloud is effectively a Fog Cloud spell (short duration though) Anyone within 5 feet has 20% concealment. Anyone farther away has total concealment. Ok, let's get back to strict rounds. We'll keep the same initiative order which is: Donnybrook 19+4-1(Enlarged) = 23 Bugbears = 20 Lucas 11+7 = 18 Ery 4+4 = 8 - Ery is in melee with one bugbear (see below) 10 feet from the others Girble 2+5 = 7 - Girble is 10 feet from all the bugbears Sirius 3+1 = 4 - Sirius can get to the floor with a quick climb roll (DC 10) Donnybrook's action is to get to his feet. [/Color] Seeing their enemies so close, the bugbears all drop their bows and draw morningstars. One steps up and takes a swing at Erethinol, striking her a vicious blow that she is only partly able to avoid. [Color=Red]10 points of damage for Ery. Ouch![/Color] The others cagily await the approach of the heroes. [Color=Red]Since they all had to spend a move action, none of the others can close. Only one was within a 5-foot step of Ery and none were that close to Girble. Actions, please![/Color] [/QUOTE]
