[QUOTE="Amaryllis, post: 768318, member: 10654"] [OOC - I assume the cross bow bolts were fired at us; any hits?] [Initiative roll = 10+7=17] If Seebor is in F5 and I was talking to him, I guess I am in G5 Surprise round partial action [assuming dwarves were firing at us not at the were-rat etc.]: Cast Hypnotic Pattern (2nd level spell). I don't know everyone's positions so this is hard to do, but my philosophy is to get Runor and as many dwarves as possible without getting any party members. The spell has a 15 foot radius and range is not an issue. If I know everyone's position, I am happy to work this out for myself. If nothing else, I try to get Runor alone. In the event even this is impossible, let me know and I'll do a different action. [Concentration check = 8+9=17; Spell resistance (against will of opponent) = 13 (roll) +4 (charisma bonus)+5 (caster level)+2 (spell focus - Illusion) = 24; Number of HD affected = 3, 1, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1 (10d4=2d4 per caster level) + 5 (caster level) = 20+5=25 (lower HD creatures affected first) - the guide says "maximum +10" but I am not sure if this means max of 10HD or max of +10 to roll - the latter made more sense to me as it is the only thing that would explain the "+" in front of the "10"] I then take a 5 foot step to position myself behind the nearby table (move to F6) in such a way as I get maximum shielding from attacking crossbow bolts. I'll wait to state my non-surprise round move until I know where everyone/thing is and whether the spell worked. [Sorry all - I posted before our DM's message came up. May as well keep it up with the rolls etc. but I will confirm the position of the spell on Monday]. [/QUOTE]
