Copper hears the warning whistle behind him and quickly turns around to see the orc uncomfortably close. "Garasje!" The goliath swears as he snaps his shot far too short from the shock, and then scrambles for his scimitar. Bonus action to aim. Shortbow Sneak Attack from Point Blank, Bonus...

Necromancer and conjurer should really just be pet subclasses.

Team Ambush, Copper. "Yeah, there aren't many good shots left here." Copper agrees with Corrah, as the goliath climbs nimbly and swiftly down the tree and cliff to a vantage point just above the wagon. After coming to a stop, the rogue sticks an arrow into the distracted dwarf below, with grin...

So, If Copper moves to T-17, or thereabouts, will he have LoS on the dwarf merc from the top of that cliff?

Ah yes. The problems of being a rogue. I might not be able to get a good sneak attack this round if I move, but if I don't move I definitely won't be able to get a good sneak attack on the survivors. I think I should wait to see if anyone can actually get into melee range with something, then...

Seeing that the driver is tangled up with Merrick, and not trying to move the ox-cart out of the ambush, gives the goliath a brief relief. Which was quickly replaced with frustration as most of the enemy forces scrambled into cover. Taking a steady aim at one of the Mercenaries still out in the...

Copper fidgeted in his tree, the enemy was here! While the situation was less than perfect, they had already found the trap, and now was the time to strike. He let loose his arrow into the Driver, planning to stop any efforts to turn the cart from the path, but found the driver to be...

The problem stems from the part where it looked like we were going to do a social challenge for a bit to lure them into the trap. Or at least, that's the way the situation seemed to be going as I read it. Which is fine, it is a better position to have them around the bend, but it's not totally...

Alrighty then.

Decisions decisions. The tactician in me wants to wait till the mercs move just a bit further up the map. The chaotic rogue in me wants to just shoot someone so we can get their loot faster. I suppose someone has to initiate the ambush, and it might as well be someone who can hide after they...

This is also an acceptable variation of a big minion.

Just give them one REALLY BIG minion that they can customize as a subclass feature (or even a series of features), and then let them sling a spell or two for more disposable minions as needed (but still keep the numbers low for table-use). It's really that simple, they even have a framework to...

Copper: Team Ambush. The goliath quietly and causally climbs over rocks and trees to get into a position high above the unsuspecting mercenaries. Then gives Corrah a hand signal to indicate he is ready and in position. Stealth check! Stealth: 1D20+7 = [10]+7 = 17 Copper can start an attack...

You know, we could have everyone start their post with what team they are on, so as to make things easier to parse.

"Sneaking up in their own wagon is a great way to get in, I have to admit." Copper grins.

It has also occurred to me that Copper is the "trapspringer." While he may be interested in money, feel free to try and convince him into going into the kobold den if you think you might need him more there.

The bluff crew seems really stacked for the task! (Not to discourage anyone else who really wants to join)

Copper has a lot of skills for social situations, and a lot of skills for sneaking, should that need arise

"Kobolds, really." Copper says with a bit of distain while thinking about the economics of the situation. Kobolds are generally poor, not much to be gained from routing them, but peaceful negotiations into and out of Blackpeak along that particular path might cost them some hard earned treasure...

Copper sizes up the surrounding area, and begins climbing a pair of trees to set up a hammock for his camping spot. "That'll keep the wolves out of my dried meat."
