Dhruv watched from his hiding place, feeling secure in his size and strength. Until the elf that had seemed as useful as a cool afternoon breeze flew up and down the open space like a leaf caught in the wind.

Well, if you is gonna drown em in blood, you is gonna have to try harder...

ooc: Nice one!

Valya spares a look at the orc skeletons, but with the lion gone she doesn't think they look like the most pressing threat. The arena is designed to split their opponents, which is too bad...but it has a couple of chokepoints too. There could be an advantage to be had, if she was in the right place at the right time.

So she hurried from her hiding place forward, angling north to crouch behind another pile of crates and boxes. Those elves worried her a bit. The last thing she needed was to suffer a hail of arrow fire. Between their lion and these crates, hopefully that wouldn't be a problem just yet. She needed them to feel safe...perhaps safe enough to charge the lion as one and overcome it.

Only to find themselves standing in a nice, tightly packed formation.

(Valya takes two move actions to get to H9, giving her a nice firing solution on the north squad :))

Drek looks around and looses a low, frustrated growl after seeing there is nothing readily within range to hit. He rushes around some crates closer to the center of the arena, ready to strike at whoever--or whatever--may pass into the zone the he and his team are currently securing.

OOC: Move & Dash to R8. That's 80 ft. of movement thanks to the barbarian's Fast Movement feature.

OOC: Apologies for holding up the show. No good reason unfortunately, just being uber lazy.

Round 2:
24 Twins: The two similar looking elves move slowly closer to the lion taking stock of the situation preparing for attacks from unseen eyes (Dodge action and move)
23 Paelis screams to Jade let's finish that lion quickly. He utters a small chant and points at the lion and then fires a shot from his bow hitting the lion. The lion seems wounded but angry and is looking to pounce.
22 Barbarian: You can hear a scream of rage coming from around the crates with a prayer to Gruumsh One Eye.
21 Jade finishes off the lion.
21 Drek moves into the action.
21 Valya also gets into position
18 Lions pounce on their foes. The twin is hit with the lion biting into his thigh but stays on his feet. The barbarian is knocked prone, bitten on the arm, and the lion rakes across his chest but still he seems only marginally injured by both hits.
17 Bard disappears from view after chanting a spell.
16 Rogue 2 (You do not see anything happen).
15 Caster chants and 3 magical bolts of light shoot into the lion. It is moderately wounded.
14 [MENTION=6783074]Gourry02[/MENTION] Artyom can go
10 Dwarf double moves.
6 Rogue 1 (You do not see anything happen).
5 [MENTION=93196]Axel[/MENTION] Dhruv can go
4 Druid
2 Orc Skeletons

Seeing the rest of his "team" advance, Dhruv legs it after his racial kindred, darting behind the wall to Drek's left. Not having seen a lion before, let alone fought one, he wanted to see how others went about it...

ooc: Dash (and cunning action to dash) to get as far as H6

I'm confused. You're movement was 35'. Was that your intent or did you not mean H? You can dash for 60' or do 90' total if using Cunning Action? You could move 5' less and still have an action? Let me know.

Round 2 (continued):
...
14 Artyom moves into a covered position.
10 Dwarf double moves.
6 Rogue 1 (You do not see anything happen).
5 [MENTION=93196]Axel[/MENTION] Dhruv moves further up (please clarify if your action if it was H16 but also where now that Jade is corrected. Read edits below)
4 Druid (A Lion larger than the others moves towards the southeast of the map staying in what appears to be a defensive position for the half-elf caster. OOC: Dodge Action)
2 Orc Skeletons double move towards the group attempting to get to a living target. One breaks off seeing Artyom and moves into melee range with him as well.

Round 3:
24 Twins: The two similar looking elves are wielding scimitars. Twin 1 makes short work of the lion with two swift strikes (one from each hand). He moves forward towards Drek. Twin 2 moves next to and in front of him and takes a defensive position (Dodge Action). "Come play my orcish fiend. Goblinslayer's blade won't mind orcish blood one bit!"

23 Paelis fires three arrows at the skeletons. The first connects and a skeleton falls. The second connects but does not finish the skeleton and the third flies wild.

22 Barbarian: The barbarian somehow managing to hold onto his great sword cut's the lion. The lion, hurt, allows him enough room to push his way to his knees. He makes a final cut to the beasts neck. It lies still and he makes the rest of the way to his feet. He screams a bloody curse.

21 [MENTION=211]Phoenix8008[/MENTION] Jade can go
21 [MENTION=23298]industrygothica[/MENTION] Drek can go
21 [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] Valya can go

18 Lions
17 Bard
16 Rogue 2
15 Caster
14 Artyom
10 Dwarf
6 Rogue 1
5 Dhruv
4 Druid
2 Orc Skeletons

*Edits:
1)Moved Jade back to C-11 since I missed that.
2) Need clarification on Dhruv (I think you meant H16 which would be next to Jade but he actually wasn't standing there so let me know correction your actions)
3) Doesn't change action economy much but the skeletons are moving towards Valya and Paelis but he still shoots them with bows, etc. If Dhruv wants to be nearby they could be crowding him instead and he'll get attack action in round 3 on them if you want.
