Is this a ready action... and it is "If they attack, then I will react by shooting my bow at ____" or are you delaying your move till then end of the round?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Lucius side steps one arrow and nonchalantly deflects another with his shield. His eyes narrow under his hood and he strides forward towards them. "Chernoglav, channel your will through me", he says, feeling a mote of his gods power infuse him.
His voice booms out louder than is naturally possible, "Enough, we are not here to fight. Lay down your arms and leave in peace, or there will be no quarter given, and you will feel our wrath".
Move: 30' West to S17 Action: Thaumaturgy Intimidation: 18
Muktak will hold off on casting Entangle to see how the serfs respond.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

(OOC: He is still yet to draw a weapon)
So, I wasn't sure how to handle this against an entire group (and since I had the time I did some reading on the forums), and I am willing to hear arguments against.
What I am going to due, is give them disadvantage on moral check after each round. One reason, which would become clear is that technically they are now (and maybe have been) outlaws. And by the laws of Erais, its the "noose" for anyone caught in the act of banditry. Thus, surrender isn't an attractive option, but fleeing into the woods would be.

That seems fair

Eraleigh remains hiding behind Lucius and taps him on the back, whispering “Get us closer.” I just want to move closer with Lucius if he does. That’s my turn.

(Who's up next? I think it's Eraleigh)
D&D since 1984
Seeing how it all worked out, will aim at Serf 5
What’s our distance at this point?
Paladin - warforged - orange
Eraleigh is up
Distance 50 ft. Two of the serfs moved north/south. And the drummer took cover.

Fine with me as well.

Paladin - warforged - orange
Lucius did move forward to S17.
@dm does that change things for distances?

(All ok, seems to have stalled a little?)

(Hm, did the map change or did I mess up? Lucius was meant to move 30' along the road, which is M17. Sorry)
The Cleric moves SE 15' to 3/4 cover. You can hear him shout, "At 'em boys!"
