(OOC) Scourge of Daggerford (Full)

It's nice to be able to actually get some character development in outside of smash and burn.

Squirrels are evil!

I should point out for those of you who haven't been involved in my more-combat-heavy game, that I haven't been bothering with initiative in my PBP games (actually I've been trying it out in my IRL games since doing it here, but that's another story).

I just resolve in an order that sort-of goes 1: By Post, 2: What makes sense, 3: On my whim, and 4: With the enemies being "activated" by interaction with the PCs or 5: enemies dispersed throughout, as makes sense.

It's worked pretty well so far. If there ever was a conflict, I'd use an Initiative roll to determine what happened first, but it hasn't been necessary yet.

(That's all a long way of saying, go ahead and post your turns in a surprise round)

 

[FitzTheRuke]

I'm loving it, despite Drui's silence, lol.

Glad you like it! Feel free to take a combat-turn with Drui (I noticed you gave a nice RP post, but you can do an action/move turn now if you know what you want to do.)

 

[FitzTheRuke]

It's possible here to get a second round of surprise. If no one does anything this round to alert the guard (only move at half speed, stay out of line-of-sight, cast spells only on yourselves or whatever.) You could theoretically get a whole round of action in and STILL have surprise when we start round two.

I was going to say, don't want to spring our surprise until we can do something with it.

Exactly. I first thought of it when I checked out your turn. If Dandin double-moves at half speed (so 25' I guess) he won't even be anywhere he can see a bugbear yet, but he also won't give himself away. So I may have started this a little early. We'll see what happens.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Is that just in my head? The rule about moving half speed while doing stealth? I was trying to double-check it, and I can't find it. It's a "slow speed" in overland movement if you want to do it stealthy, but I can't find anything about it in combat rounds, aside from spending an action to hide. (I guess that's nearly the same thing, you full move, then you spend your action to hide?)

Though that would mean that Dandin can do it as a bonus action, so he could dash and still hide.

Interesting.

Bard, not rogue.

Duh. Right.

So that means that Titus can only get to U13, though, unless he wants to risk being heard.

Drui can catch up to Angis (though Tommi and Angis can move away).
[MENTION=6805410]Fradak[/MENTION], do you want ORB1 to do anything?

 

[Fradak]

Yep, he can try to tell (red light blink) the sneakers that he spotted a bugbear and take the help action to give advantage to someone. The first in position to attack.
