This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Akrasia;435846Bryce quickly communicates with his familiar: "My friend, do you see anything strange outside?  Some eldritch horror has appeared within this place!"

Dewin quickly takes wing and scans the area, but reports that he can't see anything unusual outside.

The skeleton breaks free of the wire binding that held it upright prior to animation. The voice, now coming from its mouth says: "YOUR BODIES SHALL DIE IF YOU DO NOT LEAVE"

Init order I have so far:

Amra
Alric
Bryce
Skeleton
Norrel

Sighard?

At the end of the first turn, Amra is aiming, everyone else is casting, except for the skeleton, which is finished coming to life and has its hands out threateningly towards Norrel but is not approaching.

Once Bryce has cast Protection 2 on himself, he will fire at the skeleton with his crossbow, while keeping as much distance as he can from it.

Sighard drops his pack and finishes drawing his sword and unlimbering his shield. He moves towards towards Norel, a bit to the side of the dwarf, in prime position to flank the skeleton.

Initiative = 14

Since he's casting a spell, Bryce's initiative should be 16, not 15 as indicated earlier.  (Not that it makes any difference, I think.)

Your shot is at the top of round two. Skeleton isn't dodging, but he does have some damage resistance. You can see the arrow slice into his robe, and crack a bone, but the spirit animating him doesn't seem to feel any pain.

Initiative for round 2:

Amra
Alric
Bryce
Sighard
Skeleton
Norrel

Alric retrieves his crossbow and loads a bolt.

Not sure how long this takes. I know he was casting the spell last round, so what he's doing is loading up his crossbow and then he'll shoot.

It's two rounds to load and wind a crossbow.

Last round Bryce successfully cast a spell (Protection 2).

This round he'll try to fire his crossbow.  He had it read when he approached the altar, but since he cast a spell, I'm not sure if he could fire this round.

In any case, he misses with a roll of 74.
