Subject Next week
As some of you know, Kevin in particular, I am going to be out of town early next week. I will be leaving mid afternoon Sunday and returning very late Wednesday. I will be taking a laptop with me and the hotel room has high speed internet in the rooms, so if I can get hooked up then I should be able to do stuff Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. It will only be in the evening since I will be in meetings from 9-5 Central time Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I do not see how I will get anything done on Wednesday since I have my meetings until 4:30 and then I have to go to the airport to catch my flight.

I'm still waiting for a response from Ashley. If Surin really does want Mund to follow him, Mund will do that. Otherwise, he'll stick around and help kill the second statue.

ok, then he will look to see if there are others and if he can bolt one to the floor this round he will do so.

The internet at my apartment is out. Sorry guys. Surin doesn't care if Mund follows him or not.
IC: Surin winces at the blow the gargoyle managed to land on him. Just wasn't quick enough that time, he figured. Salix had said only magical weapons can hurt the thing, so Surin takes it as a hint to get out of the way. "Salix, will all these things start movin' and tryin' to kill us?" he says as soon as he nears his friend. "We need someone to stick by the doorway, in case this gets ugly." He moves toward the doorway by way of volunteering.

OOC: I don't know why Mund is at H4. He was staying right next to Surin last turn -- he had to in order to "Aid Other" to help Surin's AC.
From what I intended Mund to do, I'd say that he's at D5.
Let me know your ruling. I have different options avilailable depending on where Mund is.

Subject Round 2 actions
Mund is at H4 because of the Aid other.
Here is the rule from the PHB:
In melee combat, you can help a friend attack or defend by distracting or interfering with an opponent. If you're in position to make a melee attack on an opponent that is engaging a friend in melee combat, you can attempt to aid your friend as a standard action. You make an attack roll against AC 10. If you succeed, your friend gains either a +2 bonus on his next attack roll against that opponent or a +2 bonus to AC against that opponent's next attack (your choice), as long as that attack comes before the beginning of your next turn. Multiple characters can aid the same friend, and similar bonuses stack.
So Mund had to be at either F4 or H4 and since Harp went first he was in F4, so Mund had to move to H4. Since Mund had to take a 5 foot step to get into position to Aid Surin, and Aid other is a standard action, Mund was unable to also take a move action; You can not take a 5 foot step and a move action in the same round.
Mund can move this round, using a withdrawl action.

OOC: I'm not sure if this meta-gaming, if it is, ignore it.
Everyone who can't do damage to this thing should "help" characters who can.

Subject Aid other
Just a sub comment about Aiding another and AOO.
If the person you are aiding does an action that provokes an AOO, then your aiding also provokes one against you. If the person you are aiding actions does not provoke an AOO then your aiding does not provoke one against you.

OOC: OK. Thanks for explaining Mund's position.
IC: Mund will withdraw to the doorway, trying to keep himself between the commotion and Surin, Salix, and his brother.
