Okay @Neurotic, I want to make sure I have your movement done right. Note that if Akos moves up the full 30 ft., he will trigger two possible AoOs. One from Mani (maybe) and one from the dagger-wielding mercenary standing 20 ft. in front of the cleric.

The question I have for myself is whether or not the square where Odhran fell should count as difficult terrain an obstacle (costing 2 squares instead of one). I'll check, but I think it's okay for that square to count only as 5 ft..

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.

Mani is a risk, sure. But mercenary is held, shouldn't be able to OA. BUT! If he attacks and bounces off it will just drive home the message :) So, by all means, swing away - Akos simply misjudged the status.

I was not sure about movement either, both through occupied squares and over the fallen. I can simply do the round over if you rule I xannot reach the position.

I couldn't find use rope roll. But why would it be relevant now? Mani was in prison and is manacled. I will search once more and roll if yi don't find it.

I totally forgot I held him! My bad! :LOL:

It's been a strange week.

I don't think it matters. I'll say Akos can reach the position.

I didn't find it either, and you're probably right, it won't matter. I just wanted to find out the roll in case it did matter in later round. Don't worry about it... because I don't think there are going to be any more rounds. Heh.

Mani is treated as enemy for this purpose...but is sadly out of range unless I can get him too as part of 30' single target demoralize (I think not with specific use of never outnumbered)

Here, untrained.

Just note that I just re-read that part - Akos took the items (what do I need to identify them?), but somebody else could have made sure they are tight enough. He isn't a type for menial tasks :) I didn't even want to take the items, you just described it that way. Anyhow, it should be easy for Mani to slip the bonds off his hands, but may have some trouble with the legs.

Rope use: 1D20+2 = [9]+2 = 11
Rope use 2: 1D20+2 = [19]+2 = 21

By base rules, you cannot move through an occupied square if it is occupied by an enemy, or if the person in the square is engaged in melee.

As for dead foes, they aren't enough to increase movement cost, at least normally. It's easy to simply step over, or even ON the bodies without any hindrance whatsoever.

Agreed. Mani is out of range.

Rope use 2: 1D20+2 = [19]+2 = 21
Note that Mani is manacled on his hands and feet with the ropes tied around his torso and his knees, so your first roll is for the ropes around his torso (that is tethered to Tim) and the second roll is for the ropes around his knees.

Also, when binding someone, the character gets a +10 bonus because the RAW say that binding a character is easier than using Escape Artist (which I agree with... to a point).

So, Akos rolls are actually 21 and 31, respectively.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't completely sure.

BTW, I'm waiting for @Scotley to post his action before determining the result for Akos. He might choose to take out Mani.

FYI, I had physio today and I am very, very sore. It turns out my hip was severely rotated out of alignment, which is why I've been in so much discomfort over the last week. Hopefully, the soreness will settle down by the weekend.

So, I'll be adding a post tomorrow with results for @Neurotic. I was going to do it tonight but I had a splitting headache and had to lie down for and hour. It's better but I'm still feeling foggy. I don't want to stay up late tonight, as I was up until 2 A.M. last night.

Plus, I have physio again tomorrow. The plan is to get a post up before I go to physio.

At this point, I'm fairly certain Akos is gong to lay low all the foes in range of his special ability. None of them can succeed on their level checks against his Intimidate unless they get a natural 20. (Since a Nat20 for skill checks is considered a 30, the required level check follows the same rules.)

I think Scotley might be really busy, so I'll likely have Breva attack the mercenary adjacent to him using the same attack routine as Scotley posted for his last attack.

Anyway, that's all for tonight. :)
