D&D...Adventures in the Underworld

[J.T.]

and Hteb's:

Spoiler:

18+3+2

Is this "full speed terrain", so that we could be in row 6 and still get to row 10 with speed 5? If so, row 6 should be fine for Gimli, Vonteras and Sir K. No reason to get closer and risk being seen.

Also, charging down the hill will require a check or two to make sure you stay on your feet but I wouldn't expect many problems with that.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention taking your advice about going prone. I would like to move(crawl?) to be prone if F10 as long as that doesn't prevent me from casting any spells...and as long as it conflict with where anyone else is going.

Hteb would like to know if her silence ritual would help us get to an area where we cannot be seen?

[J.T.]

Miss Take would also like to know if perhaps she could sneak up and attack them alone?

She could do a blinding barrage and hopefully hit them all, giving combat advantage for a round, enabling us to get into position.

Wherever you want is fine. F6, next to me, would be nice ; J6 next to Sir K would be fine also. Or something like F14, anticipating climbing down in the regular round, but that has the disadvantage that you wouldn't have any allies on that side of the gnolls. (From F14, or from F6 or J6, you might attack ranged for a while before entering melee combat.) Having you in F14 might deter the gnolls from trying to attack Hteb and the others.

It is full speed terrain except for the chance of losing control going down the hill at full speed. Heck, I will even say going down hill will increase your speed one but if you want to take care careful it will decrease it one.

It will not affect your spells so I will assume this is what you do when you get there.

There are no additional hiding spots that would get anybody any closer that the sound prevents you from getting to.

Well, the only spell I have that doesn't risk collateral damage is magic missile. Attack is +7, damage is 2d4+6.

You could do something like that from the cliff and either have everyone delay or something.

He is far enough away from everybody else there would be collateral damage. Hit him with everything you got.
