Team Ambush Copper and Torhak began the proper assault, sending arrows over the cliffs at the wagon's Driver. Finally being sure of what they'd suspected all along, someone among the caravan's company shouted, "Ambush! Beware the cliffs above!" The driver threw on the break, and the wagon...

Team AMBUSH As you all know, I spent some effort to reassure you all that the Ambush would go perfectly fine and that everything was well in hand. AND then, my DICE ROLLER was on fire! In spite of only making a handful of attacks, I did quite a bit of damage. I'm sorry, @TaranTheWanderer for...

I made a stupid mistake. If you recall, I noticed that I had made West "Up" on the Ambush map. So I decided, with a failed WIS check, to "fix it". I spent an hour turning it sideways (not as easy as it sounds, when the trees, character icons, wagon, etc, are all NOT "nailed down". Only to...

It occurs to me that purely by RAW, one cannot "Ready" a "Disengage" action, because even if the Trigger occurs, and you use your Reaction to take the Disengage action, you can't actually move, because it is not your turn. Now, I would be inclined to ignore all that, if I were DM, but I can't...

Team Lake I would call that a very successful Round 1. I hope it's exciting for you! You managed to avoid any damage this round, so it might seem like it's easier than it is - but that's only because of very successful rolls, and smart movement. Good job! Not being able to tell where is safe...

Darius guided their kayak out of the swirling waters of where the stream joined the river and eyed a channel close to the south shore. Its safety was dubious, but so too was the rest of the river. New Hazard #5: Grounding. The kayak grinds on shallow stones. While moving past or away from this...

Okay, sorry about that, then. My intent wasn't to start anyone more than 100ft away.. I know we are all different, but if it were me, I'd have slid down if I wanted to get closer. It's risky, sure, but risk-vs-reward is the whole thing to Adventure!

"Go!" shouted Stratus over his shoulder to the few remaining citizens, then he looked back at Deirdre and gave her a look that they should do the same. Stratus will ready to Disengage if Deirdre does the same and get through the gates.

Team Lake As Aywin and Shade-9's kayak pulled up alongside Loklafd's, the old northman paddled a few quick, expert strokes to make room, and came along close beside but somewhat in front of them. He called out, encouragingly, "That was nicely done. It's going to get quick from here. Keep to the...

Let's see... Terrin could slide down column AF and land on top of the boulder that Torhak is next to. From there, yes, the Wagon would be out of sight, but from where he is, only the Dwarf Merc riding "shotgun" (shot-crossbow?) is behind cover, and only because of the way that the bit of the...

Sure. I guess I imagine an ambush from a defensive as well as offensive perspective. YOU can, for example, from where you are, walk up to the ledge, shoot an arrow at them, and walk back to the rock you were next to with excellent cover. If you were to go into melee with the wagoneers, it's not...

What do you mean by "new image every time (you) want to move a character?" Under what circumstances would you need that?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. I can't see why not. Also: You can slide down the "cliffs", as I mentioned under the map, if you're willing to risk it. Sure.

No worries. I was maybe mildly cross, but I wasn't offended. The wagon can pull off about 10ft of movement uphill per round. It's steep and the wagon is overladen. The "front guard" merc can see the barricade. The wagoners will have to take his word for it. They probably start to worry and get...

They moved laterally from you. I'm pretty sure that (as long as I'm not being anti-5e with my diagonal movement rules, and I'm not) the closer one is still 30ft from you. (Checking...) Yup. You can jump out and rush the one who's looking at the illusory barricade.

Yeah, sure! That's the kind of thing that I was hoping to see, that I couldn't necessarily think of by myself.

I use Excel and MS Paint. But I've used Excel since the late 80's and I've always loved to use it for things that it wasn't designed for. (Like character sheets, for example, though I've finally switched to Word for those). I tried to switch to Roll20 once, but the learning curve frustrated...

Team Ambush Okay, let's discuss expectations. Because everyone seems to be struggling with this ambush, and I'm not sure why. As far as I can tell, you're all within striking distance of the Enemy, so I'm not sure what the problem is. So far, the two players who have posted 'complaints' (I'm...
