[QUOTE="Camelot, post: 4846990, member: 82617"] The bear appears once again to defend Sek and the others. It bashes away the dog, who falls unconscious against the wall, while at the same time giving Nyjry, Wil, and Sek a protective energy. The kobold approaches and throws a javelin at Buna. The javelin almost hits one of the goblins attacking Buna, but ends up simply clattering against the far wall.[sblock=Map][FONT=Courier New] . .A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K.L.[/FONT] [FONT=Courier New] .X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X[/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]1.X.X.X. . . . . . . . .X.X.X [COLOR=white]2.X.X.[COLOR=white] .[/COLOR] . . . . . . . . .X.X[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=white]3.X.[COLOR=purple][COLOR=white] .[/COLOR]Kr[/COLOR] . . . .[COLOR=purple]Ko[/COLOR] . . .[COLOR=purple]G2[/COLOR][COLOR=magenta]B[/COLOR].X[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=white]4.X.[COLOR=purple]G3LdFt[/COLOR] . . . . . . .[COLOR=purple]G1[/COLOR][COLOR=blue]S[/COLOR].X[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=white]5.X.[COLOR=purple]Sk[/COLOR][COLOR=white] .[/COLOR] . . . . . . . . .[COLOR=red]X[/COLOR].X[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=white]6.X.[COLOR=purple][COLOR=white] .[/COLOR]Gb[/COLOR][COLOR=white] .[/COLOR] . . . . . . .[COLOR=#800080]Sp[/COLOR][COLOR=yellow]N[/COLOR].X[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=white]7.X.[COLOR=purple]CgGr[/COLOR] . . . . . . . .[COLOR=deepskyblue]S[/COLOR][COLOR=white].[/COLOR][COLOR=lime]W[/COLOR].X[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=white]8.X.[COLOR=purple][COLOR=white] .[/COLOR]Do[/COLOR] . . . . . . . .[COLOR=white] .[/COLOR][COLOR=green]S[/COLOR].X[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=white]9.X.X.[COLOR=white] .[/COLOR] . . . . . . . . .X.X[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=white]0.X.X.X. . . . . .[COLOR=purple]G4[/COLOR] . .X.X.X[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=white] .X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X[/sblock][FONT=Verdana][sblock=Initiative][COLOR=magenta]Buna[/COLOR][COLOR=white], Kr, G3, Cg, Gb, [/COLOR][COLOR=red]Xuxgu[/COLOR][COLOR=white], Ld, [/COLOR][COLOR=lime]Wil[/COLOR][COLOR=white], Gr, [/COLOR][COLOR=yellow]Nyjry[/COLOR][COLOR=white], Do, [/COLOR][COLOR=blue]Sekoqa[/COLOR][COLOR=white], Ft, Sk, G4, Tm (sharing Wil's space), G1, G2, Sp, [/COLOR][COLOR=green]Sek[/COLOR][COLOR=white], Ko.[/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] If you want to learn more about a creature, point it out and make a check (since you might not know which skill to use, just roll a d20 and I'll add your appropriate modifier).[/sblock][sblock=Position]This goes for everyone; if it bugs you to be right up against the wall, then you can choose to go a little more into the room for future encounters before rolling initiative. The reason I randomly placed you up against the wall in the first place was because I figured it would balance out that the monsters are also randomly placed against the wall. Another thing is that since the monsters are randomly generated, they don't end up in groups of the same kind. For a lot of monster's, this puts a big dent in their strategy. Kobold skirmishers, for example, rely a lot on their Mob Attack, which gives them a +1 bonus to attack rolls per kobold ally adjacent to the target. If there are no other kobolds in the encounter, it can't get this bonus. Basically, don't get too worried at the sight of a huge horde of monsters and you in a disadvantageous position.
