(CSRHoD) CS's Red Hand of Doom [OOC]

[Pinotage]

Understood. Weekends are typically slow anyway. If you have any instructions if I choose to advance the round that would help.

Uhm, let's see. If the dragon's around, throw balls of fire at it with haste from the cover of the tower. Heal anybody who needs it if she's close by. Don't do anything stupid.

If the dragon's not around, thinking of summoning some dire bats to fight it. With Augment Summoning they're quite decent. She can swap Sleet Storm to get 1d3 of those. The dire wolf with keep the hobgoblins busy. The trip is quite useful. If somebody's doing good damage to the dragon, like Siobhan with her bow or Warren, she can use her Wand of Snake's Swiftness to give them another go. I reckon that her Produce Flame is likely to be more effective, though.

Does Tyrla have See the Unseen? And she can't see the dragon at all? Did she see it fly away?

Nobody has seen anything from the dragon yet.

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

What kind of weapon/shield selection does Pender have here? Also, how many rounds would it take for Pender to get to and untie Northwind, and how many to get the horse's gear on?

 

[Creamsteak]

A masterwork longsword, heavy steel shield, masterwork composite longbow (+2 str), 3 potions of cure moderate wounds, a suit of banded mail (takes longer to put on), 20 arrows.

It will take 1 full round action to untie the horse (it still has its saddle), and 1 minute to get all of the other equipment readied.

 

[Pinotage]

Did the dire wolf get a trip attack on the hobgoblin that it bit?

Pinotage

 

[Creamsteak]

The hobgoblin is tripped.

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Thanks for the extra attack, Pinotage!

Pender will use it to attack the hobgoblin again. (If the hobgoblin was already dropped by Pender and Northwind's initial attacks, do we assume that Avril would not waste the casting?)

Also, I think this will mean that Pender would not gain the benefit of cover from his Ride check until after this extra attack, which occurs at the end of Avril's turn, but still before the dragon's turn, right?

If Pender does happen to take the critter down, then Avril will delay to give Siobhan the same benefit of the wand. If she takes it down before the wand gets activated (and hence before Avril moves the flaming sphere), then Avril will dash to Warren's side and cast Cure Light Wounds (1d8+5).

Does Warren's place in the initiative order change to right after Siobhan's or does it stay after Pender's? If it has changed, any chance you can resolve Warren's actions before I post Pender's actions, as they will change drastically based on what happens with Warren's attack.

 

[Creamsteak]

His initiative does not change. He was bleading on his turn, he's just concious and no-longer bleeding now, and will act again on his turn.
