Brocc continues to make his way up the floating steps, pausing only to attack the sniper.

I charge the sniper on the ground.

Move: O10
Standard: Basic Melee

GM: I know this is a little confusing, since we have to deal with 2D maps in a 3D battle. (This is one reason I prefer 3D terrain like I use at an actual table.) Anyway, Sniper #1 is 85 ft. in the air, on top of the floating boulders. Sniper #2 is 100 ft. in the air, just inside the open doorway of the bottom floor of the tower. There are currently no enemies remaining on the ground. The drake/rider are flying around just above the ground, but you can hit them if you are within melee range. Unless you have ranged attacks, though, you can't hit the snipers. Jonathan, if you want to retcon your post, please do so. Also, Mark - you posted your readied action attacks, but you still get a full turn this round, so go ahead and take it.

Okay, then I move to Q4 and call to the rider and reference his ugly he is and that he must take after his mother. I then use Holy Strike.

Move: Q4
Minor: Divine Challenge
Standard: Holy Strike

GM: Jonathan, be careful when insulting a dragonborn's mother...they have a Matriarchal society, and that's quite offensive to them!

The rider, distracted by the paladin's challenge, steers the drake to turn back from the dwarf and attack Nicodemus. He tells the drake "Easy, Razorwing...you will have your little snack. But first, we must deal with this insolent one!" The drake bites at him, but only leaves a large scratch on his shield, as Nicodemus blocks the attack. The rider then tries a risky feint to fool Nicodemus into lowering his guard. The feint seems to work, as Nicodemus brings his shield around in the wrong direction, but the brigand's flail instead gets tangled up by the paladin's sword.

He shouts out in frustration "Snipers! Take out the armored one! Now!" The drake and his rider both withdraw a short distance to give the snipers full view of their quarry.

Both snipers let loose their arrows at Nicodemus, and both arrows sink deep into the paladin's armor.

Both snipers begin to re-position themselves. Sniper #1 moves up closer to the doorway, and Sniper #2 takes a step out to get a better view of the battlefield.[sblock=Map]

GM: I have split the maps up into ground-only and aerial-only to make it easier to tell which character is where.

A red dot means that character is bloodied.

The snipers are both 100 ft. up in the doorway area of the tower. They both have superior cover. (-5 to ranged attacks from the ground)

Any square on the ground that contains 25-50% debris is considered Difficult Terrain.
Any square on the ground that contains more than 50% debris requires a DC 15 Athletics check to climb.

Trees provide cover as normal.[/sblock][sblock=Aerial Map]

GM: Important: The boulder path is all difficult terrain. If you take damage while on the floating path, you will need to make a DC 10 Acrobatics check to avoid slipping over the edge.

GM: I believe that bloodies the drake. I'll get hp #'s for you guys later this evening. By the way, make sure you include some sort of narrative in your posts. Don't just tell me what you are doing, tell me how you do it. I like Jonathan's example earlier of how he did his "challenge" by insulting the dragonborn's mother. Stuff like that!

Sledge moves up the stairs toward the snipers.

GM: The drake is bloodied, with 15 hp remaining. Waiting on Jonathan and Christopher.
