Gordon shoulders his bow with a practiced ease and quickly casts a spell, pointing a sprig of holly at the orcs. Immediately after, he yells "NOW"

OOC: By my calculations, I should be able to cover them all with Entangle.

FYI, road trip this weekend, back Sunday

What is the range for the good guys, then? Are they already too close to safely use arrows?

Orcs' initiative: [1d6] = 4

Bran, you and Glogs are in melee range now. (You're also in the AOE of Gordon's entanglement spell if he happens to get it off!)

Iomhar, you, Gordon, Savik and Stregghi remain at about 90 yards from the orcs.

I have some logistics to parse out here, so I'll post a continuance of the action later this afternoon/early evening.

I was more concerned with the distance Bran and Glogs were to them, ie. getting pelted from errant arrows. I assume that they are fairly close to be meleeable.

Sorry, misunderstood. Yes, missile discharge into melee rules will apply in round 2.

Then Iomhar will swap out his bow for his magic sword and head toward the closest orcs.

Closing to melee range will constitute your action for the round.

Stregghi will charge with you.

Savik, what's your action for round 2?

Savik will nock another arrow but will hold his action, waiting to target any orcs that attempt to escape.

ROUND 2
The orcs' attack regimen:

Orc 1 in melee vs. Bran:[1d20] = 7
Orc 2 in melee vs. Glogs: [1d20] = 1
Orc 3 firing at Iomhar, charging: [1d20] = 11
Orc 4 firing at Stregghi, charging: [1d20] = 14 DAMAGE: [1d4] = 4
Orc 5 firing at Gordon, casting entangle: [1d20] = 8

Stregghi grunts in annoyance as a bolt strikes him in the shoulder. He doesn't break stride.

The orc attacking Glogs swings wildly and loses his footing, falling squarely on his ass. Glogs, add +2 to hit this round.

In your half of the round:
  • Bran and Glogs will be able to attack their orcs before Gordon's spell goes off.
  • Gordon's entangle spell goes off on segment 7. The AOE encompasses all the orcs plus Bran and Glogs. Iomhar's and Stregghi's charge also brings them within range. I'll need saving throws vs. spell from each of you. Orcs saves are below.
Orcs' saves vs. spell
Orc 1 = [1d20] = 9
Orc 2 = [1d20] = 11
Orc 3 = [1d20] = 12
Orc 4 = [1d20] = 4
Orc 5 = [1d20] = 17
Only the orcs' leader is able to avoid being completely immobilized by the animated vines and roots. (Movement rate is halved.)

Once the Entangle spell goes off, Savik will move up closer, bow and arrow still in hand and at the ready and wait to see what happens. He calls out to Gordon as he assesses the situation. "I say, master ranger," offers the elf while motioning to the apparent orc leader, "perhaps I can... befriend their leader there and obtain for us some valuable intel and such?"

Savik will prepare to cast his Charm Person spell on the orc leader...

OOC: Sorry gents, I did mention it in OOC chat. But I didn't figure sneak attack would be so close so soon.

Gordon returns Savik's hail. "We have plenty of time, by all means, do what you can, I will take some target practice."

The Ranger shrugs his bow into his hands as he moves to the edge of his spell. He watches for effects of Savik's enchantment on the lone orc.

OOC: Bow for round 3

Iomhar thinks he is caught, assuming he rolled the right die.

=[1d20] = 6


ok... I didnt realize outdoors the distances change from feet to yards. I should have shot a couple of arrows first. I was thinking at 270 feet, it was too far to be effective when we first saw them. My bad...

Glogs returns the attack, "filthy beast!"

[1d20+3] = 13+3 (+2 per DM, +1 per STR) = 16

Broadsword damage: [2d8+3] = 6+3 = 9

Feeling something twirling around his feet and legs:

Entangle Save - [1d20] = 3

crap.

This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.

Savik will ask the others to hold their attacks on the apparent orc leader so he can cast his Charm Person spell on him before he can get completely free of Gordon's Entangle spell.

Once the spell is cast, Savik will sling his bow and move to whatever side the orc leader is headed for, calling out to him in orcish. "It is alright, my good friend. Come hither that we may talk and avoid any other... misunderstandings.".

The elf will keep his hand near his sword just in case the spell has no effect on the orc.


OOC: sorry for the delay, just wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to respond and declare actions first! :)

I doubt you have to worry about that. Most of us (if not all) are just hanging out in the vines for the next few rounds.
