(I believe it’s related to the amount of rounds needed to capture the flag.  DM just makin’ it fancy.)

(I got that part, I just was wondering about its mechanical meaning. I am not good at interpreting unfortunately. =/ )

(TY for the answer all the same  though!)

(I’m guessing it means that if the flag is uncontested for 2/3 more rounds, whoever’s controlling it wins.)

((Oof. My sick flu-ridden brain has fully busted on me. Sorry lmao.))

Field: (Round 2)

Gordon moves ahead quickly and cautiously, demonstrating for the other team, how to not eat dirt.

(It was Gordon's turn.)

(Round 3)

Ogguimash moves for cover and reaches for Gordon through the shadows, yet guided by light the fingers penetrate his armor and body. He calls out to his prey (Contest Intm/Inst, Effect: 7, Loser's next attack against the Winner has disadvantage on their next turn.)

Quote from EliteHatter >>

Quote from BDaddLy >>

More than half of the sand has fallen overhead.

 (For those of us that lack 20 INT IRL can you please explain what this means? If it'll affect the battle I always accept PM's)

(5 rounds are needed to win. More than half is 3. The hour-glass stopped when Grianne was in the tower, but did not reset.)

((I'm guessing I roll the check now Intimidation: 5))

((Shit.))

(Og is waaaaay too creepy for Gordon.)

Zevryl flings more frost at Gordon.

Attack: 14 Damage: 3

Field: (Round 3)

Gordon is thoroughly creeped.

Zevryl flings his frost (Bless: 3) but he doesn't get through the man's defences.

(Nara)

Calgin takes advantage of the fog to drink his healing potion to regain 4 health.

Tower: (Round 7)

The time has nearly run out.

Calgin takes a potion and waits in the fog, his victory nearly assured.

(Polly)

Nara's gon toss a nice lil javelin over yonder at Gordon

Attack: 7 Damage: 8

BOO

(You do have bless, but that doesn't really matter here.)

(nah i done flubbed that throw)

(It would've been at disadvantage anyways because of Dodge as well)

Marmaduke gets up to her feet, sucks in a deep, calming breathe, and then dash over to G-12.  Having the angle there, she Quickens the summoning of magical darts and flings them with preternatural haste: Two for Og and One for Zevryl. 

Og's Darts:5.

Zevryl's Darts: 2.

Then, she barks at Og, "Come on, Baby Orcling! Why don't you pick on someone the size of that little thing between your legs!?" She looks away and mutters, "Ehh, even my lines are getting worse."

Intimidation: 17.

((So since I have a rat helping me, which gives me advantage on my first attack, and then I lost the check against Og which gives me disadvantage... is it just a straight roll then? Then my second attack has no disadvantage? Am I understanding that right? I apologize for my 6 INT, it went down a few scores when I contracted this flu))

(You have the right of things. You're also going to have to do another athletics check to give over the barricade to Og in the same turn.)

(Also Og, unless you're planning to use shield, don't forget the Conc. Check for the hit from Magic Missile.)

Master Splinter's Ongoing Stealth: 11.

(Almost forgot!)

Talmich makes his way to D7 and hurls another javelin at Og. Attack: 18 Damage: 11 bless 2

"Looks like your power as a paladin not as pure as mine." intimidation 21
