Yes.

 

[nikolokolus]

Marcán feels all of the muscles in his body tighten and his limbs go rigid. You are held fast, unable to move or speak.

And Ker's still in bad shape. This could get real ugly.

I feel like I'm missing something . . . but I believe everybody that can act in the melee phase has done so. Somebody jump in and let me know ASAP.

Anyway, round 2 is up and I think I'd like to try something a little different. Is everyone OK with not re-rolling for initiative each round? It would probably speed things up a little bit, but I'm OK if people want to stick to the old way.

 

[Siveon]

Spoiler

Well, I didn't do anything in the melee round, but can we just say I'm hiding behind that wall instead of near it? That's what I was gonna do before I got paralyzed. (No damage though, whew)

I don't mind not rolling, gives us the advantage.

Oh, wait, does this mean my buff got interrupted? Man, writing poetry is hard, this bites.

I'm fine with not rolling initiative every turn. Let's see how it goes

ANSWER

Hmmm . . . you know what, you're right. You can definitely be hidden from direct line of sight in the alley. since your "action" phase was to move again (20 feet + 20 feet at half speed). Marcán is free and clear, ducked as he is in the alley. In which case I'll roll Sokrates' saving throw . . . who nobody can see at this point, so I won't post his roll until somebody can see him.


In any case you are still chanting and free to act next round. (I assume you are trying to boost your allies, vs. debuffing the Seekers based on the poem you wrote).

ROUND 2
Order:
Everybody in the party then Sokrates and the enemy.

Describe rooftops plis, what do I have around me?

After vaulting onto the roof of the single-storey building, Borric takes stock of his situation, taking care to duck his head low so as to remain unseen.

The clay tile roof slopes gently to a pyramidal peak, which currently obscures your view of the square. It would be a trivial matter to clamber to one of the other faces (currently you are on the south face) and change your perspective. Additionally, a small narrow chimney at the top of the peak belches forth a modest amount of smoke. Finally, the edge of the roof to the ground is about a 10 foot drop.

Does the net prevent the guard from moving? Any benefit from throwing another net on him? Do I need to pass on the movement phase to to attack the guard or can I club him from behind as some kind of surprise action?

Spoiler

Here's the bit from my house rules document that you can read here, if you don't still have it (It's also in the first post of the game thread).

"To-hit ignores armor. If it strikes, the target rolls a saving throw or they are entangled for 1 round (-2 to-hit and saves, half movement) in the second round the target rolls another save, if it fails they are hopelessly entangled and must be freed by another or take 1d3 rounds to free themselves."

So basically it's a one round effect that hampers movement, unless he fails his second saving throw at which point he's basically "held"

There would be no stacking effect of penalties for throwing another net, except that he would have to make a second set of saving throws, which I suppose increases the chance he's hampered/entangled.

If the guard fails his second saving throw you can automatically hit him, but before that happens he gets no AC benefit from shield or dexterity from now until that failed saving throw.

 

[Grimgravy]

Thanks. So the guard is slowed at the moment. If he'll provoke an attack of opportunity if he moves, Rhenmyr will stay put to (attempt to) clobber him in the melee phase.

 

[nikolokolus]

Noted.

 

[nikolokolus]

Anybody else moving, firing missiles or casting anything?

 

[Siveon]

Spoiler

Hold up, still writing poetry.

 

[Siveon]

Marcán takes a breath, and peeks out from the corner (does this count as movement)?

 

[Helly]

Ker wishes he could cast more spells! For now he just scans the room for the heaviest thing he can carry and and then use it to club the guard on the head.

Want to move forward till I can get a view of the Thieving One.

 

[nikolokolus]

Borric scuttles across the roof and crosses a ridge to the east facing aspect, this provides you with an narrow field of view of the street that leads eastward. A panicked mob is screaming and shoving in an attempt to flee the conflict. Also, much to your shock, about 30 feet away at the opposite end of the building, you see a figure crouched low with their back turned to you on the very same roof; they are using a chimney for cover and are knocking an arrow into a shortbow and aiming down toward the square (which is still partly blocked from your view).

You still have about 30 feet of movement left this round if you wish to close the gap.

Righto, close gap and stick boot with spike on his ass. And tell him to kindly shoot someone other than the thieving one.

The arrows in the first round were AT the seekers. I'd guess the archer is her guildmate. Might want to reconsider the spiked boot in ass.
