D&D 5E [OOC] A Light Hearted Princes of Elemental Evil Hack and Slash

[Forged Fury]

I think I am the only one in the party susceptible to it. Pretty sure I am out of range at the moment.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

No clue if she wants to do this, but I left room for Ari to move into flanking position behind Grimmjaw. That assumes she has movement 30'--I didn't check.

 

[Steve Gorak]

Just leave Thaliss a clear line of sight so he can finally use his eldritch blast ;-)

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Thaliss positions himself next to Dent following the flow of the battle

OOC: Thaliss still has movement available this round, so if you allow it, he'll move to S9 to benefit from Dent's protection, but more importantly, to have a clear line of sight to Grimmjaw for his Eldrich Blast. He initially moved to T9 hoping for this clear line of sight, but Dent moved, and Thaliss didn't go to S10 to avoid waking up the Reaver there.

Whoopsie, Dent moved to R10 to cover and better protect Thaliss. But also to potentially flank Grimmjaw in case an ally positions him/herself behind Grimmjaw. Flanking aside, it's six of one, half dozen of another to me whether Dent's in R11 or R10. If Creamsteak won't allow Thaliss to move to S9, maybe he'd allow Dent to just not move from R11? I'm easy either way.

Actually, is there even a flanking bonus in 5e? I scanned my hardcover (yes, I brought it to work, don't judge me!) index and do not see an entry for flanking! Maybe there's no flanking bonus in this edition. If that's the case, then screw it, Dent'll stay in R11.

 

[hafrogman]

Yeah, there's no flanking.
Rogues have their own special thing for sneak attack, and everyone else just has the aid action.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Well. F--- it, then. Dent wants to just stay in R11. I'll edit that into the IC.

 

[Forged Fury]

There's a flanking optional rule in the DMG, but they didn't include it in standard because of the emphasis on Theatre of the Mind.

As an aside: Tolan needs food badly. Tolan is about to die.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Yeah, I know. Healing Tolan is on my to-do list. Dent will head over to him to heal him this next round.

EDIT: If Ari doesn't get there first, that is.

 

[hafrogman]

Yeah. I didn't know about that whole unarmored thing.
"Why should I bother to loot this leather armor?", I thought.
"It's the same as being unarmored for me.", I thought.

Ouch.

 

[Forged Fury]

I figure Arhida is probably going to heal Tolan this round based on the inner monologue Shayuri provided in the last post. I was just making a Gauntlet joke.
