(OOC) Fitz's Folly (ToA PBP)

[FitzTheRuke]

Chrysagon has Protection from Evil going, giving the zombies disadvantage on attacking him, so he doesn't need to dodge. He can start swinging his flail. Rodrigo might want to dodge or get out of there. Harb's probably better off in the thick of it. He'll get there next round.

 

[Fradak]

Exactly, Chrysagon is ready to test if they blend.

Holly shìt! Just saw the map updated...

 

[Ancalagon]

I should have specified that Rodrigo would move directly beside Chrysagon, instead we are *not* back to back and I'm surrounded. I can't even move, I'll trigger half a dozen attacks of opportunity (you might be able to risk it, but still not the best). I think Rodrigo *has* to dodge.

 

[gargoyleking]

Harb incoming.

Squirrels are evil!

Rodrigo can Disengage and walk away, if you like. I can't remember why I didn't have him move right beside Chrysagon. I had a good reason for it at the time...

Trees are difficult terrain, BTW.

 

[Fradak]

We have a lot of space to manoeuvre so maybe Rodrigo could disengage and run to K9 or even J9. The 4 zombies will certainly follow him but they will not be able to reach him, they'll have to dash again (30ft vs 20ft on difficult terrain). Then Rodrigo can re-engage more safely. Or do some hit and run, taking some of them away from us. And Chrysagon could even get an opportunity attack in the process.

I decided to go besides you because it limits the total number of zombies that can attack one person. Hopefully we can be the anvil and the rest of the party the hammer. Let's hope the dice are kind for a round or 2...

Besides, Rodrigo wouldn't leave Chrysagon hanging...

In 5e, you can absolutely do the sweet maneuver you just had Dellrak do. But I can't think of a way without the Feat that you can use a Battleaxe with it. You'd need to do it with two hand-axes (both weapons have to be light). I'll just knock two points off your damage. (And you've got a hand-axe in hand, but that's easy enough to put away later if you want to get your battleaxe out. Or you could keep dual-wielding two hand-axes, which is pretty effective (particularly because you can throw one of them whenever you like.)
