IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part IV

[TiCaudata]

[sblock=oc]alright, I perused GitP and found my semi-legal digital copy of the phb. I don't think I can actually use spring since i don't have a move action after standing up (I see it as similar to the surprise round nix that we agreed on before).

So I have a number of ideas, but I think it would just be easiest to see how everyone in front of me resolves before I post my action, por favor.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]See, checked it again already.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

As Bazrim stands up, the beast near him lashes him with a stinging tentacle. The dwarf mage fires missiles at the beast on the other side.

Eskard delivers two strong blows. While the second misses, despite what Eskard thought was true aim, the first connects.

The beast near Eskard strikes back with both tentacles and a bite. It only hits once. It then takes a step back.

The beast near Erdolliel hangs back and strikes with both tentacles. The blows hit Erdolliel squarely, and her wounds start to look severe.

Nethezar stands up, and takes a smack for his trouble. He then almost roughly kicks Erdolliel while muttering a prayer. The elf's wounds completely vanish.

Kushnak stands and casts his spell. Unfortunately, Kelanen's sword makes a horrid swing.

The beast near Bazrim closes in so that it can use both tentacles and deliver a bite. One tentacle and the bite tear into the dwarf's flesh.

Eskard lets out a ferocious roar and steps confidently toward the retreating fuzzy thing.

[TiCaudata]

Uff!!! Thanks, you little bastard." Erdolliel stands up, steps towards the beast while drawing, and attacks.[sblock=oc]Dodge bonus against 2, THEN stand up. Step 5' N while drawing sword and attack the kitty (+7 1d8 +3)[/sblock]

 

[michael_noah]

Kushnak takes a step back and challenges the beast, "Let's see you do when you have a hard time seeing us!"

[sblock=ooc]5' W. Cast blindness on #3. If it works, move spiritual weapon to #2.[/sblock]

 

[worthley]

Bazrim spits blood in the face of his attacker and withdraws from combat.
[sblock=ooc]withdraw 15' west. Next round draw best cure potion I have and drink it. Can't check my sheet right now.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]

If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher, you may draw a weapon as a free action combined with a regular move.

From the section dealing with move actions.
My interpretation of the rules is that (absent the quick draw feat) Erdolliel cannot stand, 5-foot step, draw a weapon, and attack. One cannot draw a weapon as part of a 5-foot step. I also take the above text to indicate that one also cannot draw a weapon as part of any move action that is not "move" (which is the first action listed in the "Move Actions" section).

If anyone disagrees, let me know. Otherwise, Ti should post a new action. I want to specifically apologize to Ti. He asked me some rules questions earlier about move actions, and I was not aware this was what he was attempting to do. I probably mislead him.[/sblock]

[sblock=oc]dooodeeeeeeeedooooo sorry for the troubles guys

Erdolliel stands up and moves SW, SW, SW, SW drawing her sword while she moves[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel stands up, with her kind words to Nethezar, and backs away.

Bazrim attempts to carefully extract himself from the melee, however, the wizard failed to calculate the reach of the long tentacles. He gets struck again and looks gravely wounded.

Eskard flies into a mighty rage. Unfortunately, the half-orc is unable to connect with his wild swings.

The beast near Eskard lays into the warrior with tentacles and teeth. The creature tears the half-orc open with well-placed hits.

Seeing its prior prey retreat, but now having fresh blood nearby, the second beast steps forward. Its tentacles lash out at Bazrim, nearly bringing the mage down. It tries to bite Nethezar, and without his armor, the poor attack manages to strike.

"Dammit!" Nethezar growls, frustratedly. He pushes Bazrim while sending healing magic into the dwarf.

Kushnak tries to turn the tide with his spell, but the creature shrugs it off. The sword of Kelanen manages to connect this time, however.

Finally, the last beast moves to threaten the middle of the group. It delivers a blow to Erdolliel, who is once again bleeding.
