Hey Goddess, I need to know specifically before I continue with your fight: I’d allow you to use a grapple check to use a held target as cover, which would make attacks more difficult, including if the dog tries to join the grapple again. Or are you readying an attack, to hurt Miri if the dog does something you don’t like? Or are you just delaying, seeing how Miri and the dog react? Just want to be clear.
BTW, am I the only one really impressed with Alev’s flair? “the golden
why of it all”… too cool.
