[QUOTE="Rae ArdGaoth, post: 3594046, member: 21064"] Rasereit, who was snoring heavily face down into his pillow, suddenly flips over and bolts upright, his handaxe instinctively in his hands. His eyes still closed, the head of the axe is in his right hand and the haft is in his left. The butt is up against his right shoulder and the handle is pointed towards the wall. The confused dwarf squeezes his right forefinger several times, shouting, [COLOR=Red]"I can't, it's stuck! The blasted piece o' junk won't fire!" [/COLOR]Then his eyes pop open and he realizes what's going on thanks to the orange flickering and the screams. Suddenly Rasereit is all business. He rolls out of bed and kicks his sheets off, dropping his handaxe as he does. He grabs his shield and waraxe from the wall and leaps to his feet. He shouts, [COLOR=Red]"To arms, to arms! We're bein' attacked!"[/COLOR] He glances wistfully at his well-crafted, magically enhanced breastplate and gauntlets, but the dwarf has no time to put them on. He's about to run out of the room when he remembers the party's sleeping partners. He looks to their beds to see if they're still full. If they are, he'll rudely wake them up and tell them to [COLOR=Red]"Get up, get yer weapons, the building's been set afire!"[/COLOR] He won't leave them in the room alone with his gear. If they're not still in bed, he's out as fast as he can move, the warrior-barbarian looking rather strange in his pajamas wielding a mastercraft waraxe and a metal shield with vicious spikes. OOC: So let's see, Rasereit left his amulet on for the night (there's no reason for him to take it off, unless you object Manz). I'll assume no surprise round since we're not actually being attacked. Let me break this down: Round 1: Crazy wake up antics (Free), 5' move from bed to ground remaining prone (Misc., free), drop handaxe (Free), grab waraxe (MEA), grab shield (MEA). Round 2: Stand up from prone (MEA), move 30' either towards our sleepover friends or the door, depending on the circumstances (Move) while readying shield (Free with Move). [sblock=DM: ]Arguably, rolling off the bed is not a free action since it's more like crawling. If that's the case: Round 1: Crazy wake up antics (Free), 5' move from bed to ground remaining prone (Move), drop handaxe (Free), grab waraxe (MEA). Round 2: Grab shield (MEA), stand from prone (MEA), 5' move towards men or door (Free). Round 3: ...
