Pezock scrambles up the side of the shaft with surprising speed.
Ghouls in the Shaft, Round 6
The ghoul rips savagely at Noriaki, opening another wound and grabbing him in its claws. The sword shifts itself slightly in his grip, almost as though it is pressing closer to feel his pulse.
[sblock=actions and rolls]I moved the ghoul to N13 rather than N14, which would be too long a push.
Pezock activates spider scuttle and climbs to D22. Gelik goes totally defensive.
Ghoul ambusher 2 recharge (bounding leap)
4(1d6) = 4 recharges. The ghoul regenerates 5 and claws at Noriaki. Ghoul ambusher 2 melee basic vs AC, Noriaki; damage
14(1d20) +8 = 22; 5(1d8) +6 = 11 hits for 11 and Noriaki is grabbed.[/sblock]
[sblock=When you hit a savage ghoul ambusher (one of the dark purple ones) with a melee attack]The creature makes a basic melee attack as an immediate reaction (not necessarily against you; I may have to resolve it if there are multiple possibilities).[/sblock]
[sblock=When you try to escape a savage ghoul ambusher’s grab]The ghoul makes a Worry attack against you as an immediate interrupt (+8 vs AC, 1d6+5 damage).[/sblock]
[sblock=Terrain and Lighting]All terrain is normal except for the water.
The interior of the shaft is dimly lit (lightly obscured for those without low-light vision). The water is heavily obscured.
Climbing the shaft requires a DC 20 Athletics check without a rope, or DC 10 with one. There is currently a rope hanging down the shaft, anchored to the wooden plug.[/sblock]
[sblock=Controlling Gelik and Pezock]Companion NPCs in Combat
Any PC can take a standard, move, or minor action to have an NPC perform an action of the same (or a lesser) type. E.g., if you want Gelik to use Charm of Misplaced Wrath, you spend a standard action. If you want him to move, you spend a move action. An NPC is limited to the usual number of actions each round (but those actions need not all be granted by the same PC). An NPC who has an immediate action can likewise only use it if a PC has an immediate action available to use on his/her behalf.
NPCs can take free actions and opportunity actions normally, without the direction of PCs. They are always considered to have their weapons in hand and don’t need to spend actions unsheathing them.
If all of the PCs act in a given round without giving any actions to a particular NPC, I will have that NPC take one non-offensive action. This will most likely be Second Wind if it is needed and available, and movement or Total Defense if it is not. (It won’t be necessary for PCs to spend their own standard actions to have NPCs use second wind.)[/sblock]
