Round 6 actions, round 5 redux
Subject Round 6 actions
Salix will step over to U3. He sees that there is little he can do at this point, but this will put him in a better position to help if needed.
(Is T3 a threatened square? Not that it matters since Salix doesn't want to block the fighters, but I'm curious).

I noticed a couple of errors in last nights turn. They should not make a huge difference and I will write the retcon tonight.
First, I did not have Harp fight defensivly. That would probably stop the bite attack. Also, I did not have Kal make a DEX check.

Ran, feeling the healing power flow through him, jumps to action. He moves into position to back up Kal in case the elf needs to fall back.

Is it possible to have Mund step forward to have S5 and attack during that turn instead of sitting there doing nothing?
From: Mark
Subject Round 6 actions
He can step forward but would not be able to attack. The wall, the door and the people around him block his attack.
The same with Surin.

Really? You can't attack along the diagonal?
OK, is it possible for Mund, in round 5, to hold his action into round 6 (or beyond) so that as soon as he has something to do he can do it immediately?

Normally you can but I consider this situation,with the door and the wall there, to be special.
You do understand that if Mund moves to S5 he will have a wall to his side and that the creature can not attack through the wall. Just like Mund can not attack through a wall.

OOC: But, if after Kal attacks, he takes a 5 ft step away, Mund could 5 ft step into his place and make 2 attacks.
If you ask Kal nicely, he may make room for you. Or Mund could just slice him in half and then step into place - tempting, I know, but that would probably cause issues when the fight is over.

He can ask what he wants.
From: Porter
Subject Round 6 actions
If Mund can't attack from S5, I don't want Mund to move there.
In turn 5, I want Mund to hold his action into round 6 and yell "Get out of my way, viadlak!"

OOC: I am confident that Mund will be able to communicate his desire to Kal. Will Kal agree to that request - who knows?? This could be fun.

This is the re-write of Harp's and Kal's turns. Nothing major.
I am not going to write a turn tonight. Work was a killer today and I am burnt out. I will write something tomorrw.
Sorry
Round 5 Initiative: Surin (17), Salix (15),Harp (15) T2-5(15), Ranthir (12), Ragnar (11), Allistair (10), Kal (9), Mund (9)
Surin steps forward but is unable to get a line on the trolls on other side of the door. The frame and the wall block his way..
Salix sees the pained look on Ranthir's face and decides that the 1/2 elf needs further healing. Ragnar was better at this, Salix thinks, but he was busy imitating a wall. So Salix chants the basic healing prayer and lays hands on the fighter (CLW, heal 8) The wound in Ran's belly closes a bit more but it still serious.
Harp has a moment of indecision but then moves forward to block the door. "Mund, block the door with me and attack." Stepping over body parts (DEX check, DC15, 13+2=15, success), Harp hacks at one of the arms of the troll reaching through the door (AC16, 19+8=27, hit, critical threat, crit threat roll, AC16, 10+8=18, hit, critical hit, damage 22) and almost severs it at the elbow.
The hulking form in front of him moves a bit to the side, being pushed by the other troll(T2) so that it can get to the door as well. Both of them claw and bite at the 1/2 orc (T3, AC23, 9+9=18, miss, 9+9=18,miss, 6+4=10,miss, T2,AC23, 20+9=29, critical threat, crit threat roll, AC23, 11+9=20,miss, damage 9, 17+4=21, miss) and the flurry of claws and teeth end up pushing Harp to his limit trying to keep them from hitting. The fact that he only has a few cuts and bruises shows that he was mostly successful.
Ran nods at Salix, thankful for the healing grace but still feels that he should hold back. If Mund or Harp or Ragnar falls he would have to fill the gap, but for now he would help from the back line.
Ragnar almost goes forward to stand next to Harp and block the door but realizes that Mund is correct. Ranthir is one of their best fighters and they might need his sword again before this was all over. Taking a quick step back and to his right, the dwarf turns and lays hands on the fighter. "Let's see what healing grace the battle lord is willing to dispense to a brave fighter today, he says with a grim determination. He chants the one of the more powerful healing prayers, giving up the ability to dispel the evil castings of his foes to do so (CSW, Heal 23). Ran looks on astonished as the wound closes under Ragnar's hands. The pain vanishes and Ran feels the best he has felt in days. The dwarf grins, "The Battle Lord was pleases with you today. Let's go help the other two before they get eaten."
Allistair stand where he was noticing that the trolls are not trying to charge through the door. They learned quickly, he thinks. Unfortunately, he is out of the mage arrow spells. What else can I do?
Kal sees an opening next to Harp and moves to fill the spot. Stepping over the bodies (DEX check, DC15, 12+5=17) with the grace of a dancer, his rapier a blur, he lunges at the green figure, blade piercing spongy flesh again (AC16, 17+12=29, hit, damage 11). He comes back on guard, shoulder to shoulder with Harp and facing two very large trolls through the doorway.
Mund curses at the elf as he steps in front him. "What in the nine hells are you doing, elf?" he spits. Mund restrains himself from splitting the elf in half where he stands, sure that the trolls will tear him to pieces in a few seconds.
OODM: End of round 5, I need round 6 actions.

In turn 5, I want Mund to hold his action into round 6 and yell "Get out of my way, viadlak!"
If anybody gives him a chance to step in and kick butt, he'll do so at that instance. Otherwise, he'll keep holding his action.
