Hi Pixie,
Charging allows increased movement and an attack. But the attack ends the character's movement.

So if you want to attack caveman 6, your movement stops near him.
If you want to reach the cover of the shipwreck, you can't attack caveman 6 on the way.

If any caveman moves past you at close range, it triggers an opportunity attack for you. If you wish to attack, we could use the roll you just posted.
You moving past caveman 6 gives him an opportunity attack on you, but it seems unlikely he will opt to take it.

I hope that's clear.

What would you like to do? Thanks.

ictus fulmine! Maskelyn casts Audible Glamer, as close to the middle of the horses as he can manage. He's hoping this will spook the horses, and possibly throw off the aim of the shooters.

After this, he'll be dropping to the ground to try and do some vetrinary first aid on Houdin.

Hi Urson,
For the sake of clarity, it looks like you're intentionally describing two actions:
This round: cast spell
Next round: fall on ground and bind Houdin's wounds.

Those actions are legal and feasible. In fact, after casting, you can fall to the ground this round. (Casters may move 1" and still cast in the same round)

But I want to attack and run. I want it all.

I did wonder about this. Hmmm. Fiefo is a crafty guy, interested in saving his own skin. He'll run for the cover of the boat and risk it.

Or...

Can he just stab 10 as he stands there gawking then run for the boat? He's pissed about being attacked and not super concerned with the right or wrong of it...

Not in one round. This option would play out like this:
This round: Stab a target
Next round: Run

Unless 10 flees your melee before your action. Then Fiefo gets an opportunity attack against him, which he clearly wants to use.

He's pissed about being attacked and not super concerned with the right or wrong of it...

Ok, then, he'll just run for the boat and hope for a pre-flee action from the caveman.

Got it.

Thanks.

Inferno- that's exactly the intent.

Great.

Also, I just realized you didn't describe the sound of the Audible Glamour, so I chose wolves to spook the horses. I hope that's okay.

Fiefo sort of got his wish.

Hey everyone,
I started a different OOC thread, focused on a specific topic: viewtopic.php?f=553&t=7352

I hope to see you there!

Moving it along. I'll NPC Jeojand again.

Did Buck notice if the blinded caveman did anything while he was being shot?

Hi OM,
The blinded primitive hasn't changed his action since the previous round:

Inferno wrote:As one, the savage subhumans flee for their lives into the jungle to the west. Except for the blinded primitive (3), who falls to the beach at the roar of the apes' powerful magic.

He is cowering on the ground, with his hands on his eyes.

I forgot to specify a sound- I would have gone with a crack of thunder, but too late now. I'll know better next time.

are you doing magic in this game like in the other game? where we don;t have declare what spell is memorized?

Hi wolf,
No, in this game spells are memorized in advance and tracked in the DM adventure log, here: viewtopic.php?p=356593#p356593

The only reason I house rule it in Briarsgate is because I limit other aspects of spellcasting, explained here: viewtopic.php?p=199683#p199683

Hi everyone,
Fyi: The jungle is so dense it qualifies as "rugged terrain" as per DMG p. 58. Movement within it is halved.

It's been 5 days. Got to move it along.
I'll NPC Tullia this round.

I'm still around. I haven't figured out what to do regarding the ape-men. Arrows vs bullets....
