Frozen Whispers (adventure)

[Krug]

Well I think it's evident it can't get out of the place? Perhaps if we got out of there and fired through the arrow slits at it? Can it fit through the door?

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Can it fit through the door?

OOC: It could squeeze through with an Escape Artist check (see PHB 148).

 

[Krug]

Belisha shouts "Eolan! Hardin! Retreat! Make it squeeze through the door! We cannot defeat it like this!"

Escape Artist would take around a minute, so hopefully our ranged weapons can take it down in that time. In the meantime, we also need to get out of the range of its spurs. Have cast a web spell to try to hold it down for a round.

Note change in move to cast Web instead of Magic Missile.

Escape Artist would take around a minute

OOC:

The "tight space" described under the entry for the Escape Artist skill is bigger than your head, but smaller than your shoulders. The DC and time restriction there refer to that situation, and I think they don't really make sense in relation to a Large humanoid going through a doorway built for Medium humanoids.

I'm going to use the concept of an "awkward space" as introduced in Underdark (p. 111). As a standard action, the boneclaw will be able to move 5' through the door in one round with a DC 15 Escape Artist check. Therefore, it will take at least two rounds to squeeze all the way through the door. During the rounds the boneclaw is squeezing through (or stuck) he will take a -4 penalty to AC, lose his Dex bonus to AC, and be unable to make any attacks.

 

[Krug]

Two rounds? We'll take it.

 

[Galieo]

Two rounds? We'll take it.

OOC: That we shall, that we shall.

IC: At Belisha's command, the knight bows to her superior intellect and wisdom and withdraws as directed.

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

IC: At Belisha's command, the knight bows to her superior intellect and wisdom and withdraws as directed.

OOC: Do you mean that you want to use the Withdraw action in this current round instead of attacking? If so, where do you want to move?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Hardin, seeing that Belisha's assesment is correct, will use the withdraw action to get out of there.

 

[Galieo]

OOC: Yes, Eolan is going to withdraw out of the building. Can he do a full retreat to his warhorse?

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Can he do a full retreat to his warhorse?

OOC: No. On a full-round withdraw action, you can move up to double your speed, and the square you start out in is not considered threatened.
