Team Lake Eager to be out of the way when Aywin and Shade-9's kayak came through the swift current, Loklafd, surrounded in hazards as he was, spun is paddle around to fend off the sharp rocks and push himself away from the approaching shallows. But the river surged as he did so, and it lifted...

How is that more lame than how (nearly) all of spellcasting works? I mean, if you like. I don't see why, myself.

Wow, @Hriston. Crit with Disadvantage. You don't see that every day. I noticed that I didn't put numbers on the two Mercs or the two Cultists. Fixed it for next round, just in case anyone has trouble telling them apart.

No, Round 1 was supposed to start right when you (sort of & unintentionally) derailed it by going for a social encounter instead of an Ambush. Look, it's fine. I'd rather move forward than backtrack, but I bet that there's at least a few other players who would like to have moved twice from...

I managed to make my previously mentioned mistake not turn out too badly by print-screening it in two halves and gluing them together. I hope it's not too confusing that North is now "up" (or too much of a pain for you to scroll around on it) bit hopefully you can better see what's going on...

True. Though I think it's always better in PBP to post NOW, rather than later, so it works better IMO if we just assume that there's no Delay (there isn't anyhow in 5e), there's no Ready, and there's no waiting. There is simply: Tell the DM what you intend the order of events to be, and the DM...

TEAM AMBUSH Encounter: Switchback Time: ~14:10 on 4 Tarsakh 1483DR Begin Round Two

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...
