[QUOTE="El Jefe, post: 2176107, member: 19990"] Oirhandir grimaced as droplets of acid seared his back. "Another near miss like that, and I'm done for", he thought. He dared not think of what would happened had the monster caught him full force with it's deadly spray. His hand instinctively went for the flap on his backpack that concealed his chimes. "Better not", he thought to himself. "If I stand here fumbling, that foul thing will pick me off like a deer staring at a sunrod in the dark." Oirhandir retreated a few steps away from the creature, then retrieved his mallet and chimes. [sblock]OoC (Edited to fit the map Pbartender posted): I'm thinking that even with his staff lying on the cavern floor and his bedroll up on top of the hill with Gath and Razir, Oirhandir is still encumbered. So, he takes a 20 foot move away from the dragon. That should put him slightly up the slope to the entrance tunnel to the cavern, and may give him some cover. Backing up 20 feet will still leave Oirhandir within earshot of the rest of the party, which is all he needs. And, if for some reason, the tunnel is out of earshot, Oirhandir will stop at A6, right at the entrance. Either way, that's a move action. He'll take what cover he can get. I think the dragon gets an attack of opportunity while he retrieves his chimes, but that's just the way it goes. Retrieving the chimes from his pack is another move action. 1 move action + 1 move action = 1 full round, right?[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
