Sjorvuld will use the remaining 13Gp that he has left over to see if he can find a Hireling Man-At-Arms/guide (or a cheap map) that can get the group from here to their destination.

Hey Distorted Humor,

Was I able to get a Hireling Man-At-Arms/Guide?

Let me roll to see, and I will be updating later today or tomarrow morning, had to make a suddent trip to the hospital to see a friend.

As a background note - I had a good friend who shattered his hips at age 22 in a car crash, he was doing fine, but apparently one of the plates is now bent, so tomorrow he will have to do surgery. He has little family to speak of, so I drove a lot this weekend to make sure he wasn't getting all nutty by himself as he faces the disappointment of going though surgery again. Some of the other friends are going to be visiting him in the week, so I will be starting our great adventure tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Individual, but all "Bad guys" go at the same time.

[Delazar]

I'm very sorry guys, but RL is making it impossible for me to follow this like I wanted to, so I'll have to step out.

the best of luck to you all, and once more apologies.

[max_vale]

Best of luck to you Delazar!

[Distorted Humor]

Best of luck to you Delazar!

I will NPC Delazar till I can get someone to take his character over.

Due to the ax being two handed, There not much chance of the Ax wielding stone beast from winning Initiative.

Just curious, is this a house ruling or is there something in RC stating 2-handed weapons affect initiative?

[max_vale]

I can't speak for the RC as I don't have it; but in the Mentzer Basic and Expert books; two-handed weapons automatically lose initiative.

[Jester]

Combat Order from Chapter 8 in the Rules Cyclopedia below. There is no specific mention in these rules about the Two Handed Weapons being last. However Chapter 4 Equipment does say that Two Handed Weapons go last in "individual initiative". Here is a list of Errata from a (by me) tursted source.

Combat Sequence Checklist
A. Initiative: Each side rolls Id6 to determine
initiative.
B. First Side Goes: The side that won the initiative
acts first.
1. Morale (Optional): Monsters and
NPCs roll Morale Checks. Also, anyone
who needs to make a saving throw
vs. an ongoing effect does so now.
2. Movement: Characters who choose to
move do so now.
3. Missile Combat: Characters using missile
and thrown weapons make their
attacks.
a. They choose their targets,
b. They make their attack rolls,
c. They roll damage for any successful
hits.
4. Magic: Characters using magic cast
their spells.
a. They choose their targets,
b. Their targets roll saving throws if
appropriate. £
c. The DM applies the results.
5. Hand-to-Hand Combat: Characters
fighting hand-to-hand make their attacks.
a. They choose their targets,
b. They make their attack rolls,
c. They roll damage for any successful
hits.
C. Second Side Goes: The side that lost the
initiative acts now, performing the same
five steps.
D. Special Results: The DM announces any
special results.

This is an answer for the dexterity adding to Initiative Roll However it is OPTIONAL so the DM gets to say if we are using it or not.

Dexterity Adjustments (Optional)
At the DM's option, a character's Dexterity
can modify his individual initiative roll, according
to the Bonuses and Penalties for Ability
Scores Table on page 9. A character's bonus to
individual initiative does not affect the party's
roll in group initiative.

This weapon requires two hands for use. The wielder of the weapon may not use a shield and always loses individual initiative to characters not using a two-handed weapon. Halflings and small races cannot use this weapon.

[JobaTett]

What is the current initiative order in the current battle?

[Distorted Humor]

actually, it does not mater as its using two handed, and your using single handed weapons. The creature will go last.
