Move (Run) L61.Len- Grimm- [/sblock]Next up Len, the Grimm, then Mardred (who will probably want to reconsider his previous post).[GM]As for Cinara, Ready an Action is a Standard Action- therefore you have spent all you actions for that turn already Move-Minor-Standard. In your post you said you were going to use an action point- this made me think, can you actually do that? The answer is probably no, although I'm open to other offers (and discussion). By Readying and Action you are in effect turning your next action- in your case your attack in to an Immediate Reaction (you can also use a Readied Action as an Immediate Interrupt), in simple turns you are waiting to react to a set of circumstances. As we know in normal game terms you cannot use an Action Point after an Immediate Reaction or Interrupt- you can only use an Action Point in your turn. If you could then Fighters in particular with their Combat Challenges would become a lot nastier- they would attack with a Combat Challenge attack and then be able to Action Point again- effectively getting two bites of the cherry.However... the rules state- 'If the trigger doesn’t occur or you choose to ignore it, you can’t use your readied action, and you take your next turn as normal.'Which means you forfeit this turn and cannot move until your next turn.Also- 'Reset Initiative: After you resolve your readied action, move your place in the initiative order to directly before the creature or the event that triggered your readied action.'So, your choices are-1) Take your attack as per your Readied Action, but not your Action Point.2) Don't take your Readied Action and wait until your next Turn to do whatever it is you want to do.I am open to discussion.[/GM]New Map-<a href="http://gallery.rptools.net/v/contrib/goonalan/Dwarf1/095+The+Cave-+Kazz+retreats.jpg.html" target="_blank">095 The Cave- Kazz retreats</a>To save time I am happy to Move all of the PCs back and in to position in the Spider Cave- wherever you want them to be, within reason, however I would like to play out Cinara's quandry.Can I get feedback from you- just tell me where it is you want to set up in the Spider Cave and I can take over and do all of the movement for all PCs (to save time), except Cinara... If this is acceptable then just tell me which square you are heading for in the Spider Cave- I believe the idea is for four melee attackers to occupy K54, L54, M54 & M55- and for the those with ranged attacks to be a few squares behind this front line.</blockquote>
