Arti will instead run to The Black Rose and then use a utilize action to raise her shield to defend him.

Don’t know if this action is allowed because Arti doesn’t have protection fighting style, but will make a saving throw if necessary.

 (don't see why not ... anybody can hold a shield in front of somebody ... maybe would need to make a DEX roll to see whether you're quick enough to interpose the shield between Zladark and any blows incoming to him, and if so you can add the shield's AC + to his.  However, you will lose it yourself.)

Zenzor will on his turn chill touch on the freeing one if possible.   (24 to hit 8 damage rolls in log) 

 (you'll need your ranged spells ... that one's @65' from you)

how far are we from the boats? Artifex is gonna head back that way so i just need to know if that'll take a full turn

 (a little less than 30' ... you came in just about three quarters of a turn.  You might have a BA left when you get there)

---------------------------------------------------------------
I guess I was not clear enough on describing who Tarton was attacking. I meant to have him attack the Bullywug next to him and Arti on the side of the log that Artifex, Gwrgi, and the others were on, THEN jump over the log and get next to the Bullywug attacking The Black Rose (no attack vs that foe as no actions left - and my question was if after the attack, he had enough movement to get there). If you want to leave it how it is, that's fine though.

((Fyi yes I know it’s a ranged attack which is why I used chill touch… range 120’)) 

Arti raises her shield and then blocks the enemy bullywug with a dex save of 13 14-1

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Artifex has 30 feet of movement, and enough range that distance shouldn't be too much of a problem. am I able to take my turn like normal or am I missing something?

I hope this campaign is not dead :)

I am really enjoying it, and I think our DM is great and that you all are awesome players! :D

---------------------------------------------------------
I totally agree!

 Not dead, one of my periodic issues wth having no internet of my own ... store I usually rely on for access closed its cafe for repairs projected to last an indefinite "few" or "couple" weeks, depending who you ask.  So I've been at best able to nip on in other less accessible places at times, and generally with just time to post a prewritten response for (generally) a game where I'm a PC and so only need to process the variables for my own character.  But I'd lost track of just how long its been and I definitely apologize for not letting you all know sooner.

 You're quite right ... I clicked on the new 2024 version by mistake.  The fleeing frog-thing suddenly shrieks out as a bony hand materializes behind it and wraps around its throat.  Somehow it is able to pull free, and tries to stagger away faster in its terror; but it doesn't seem able to get its breath properly and its stumbling every now and then as it flees.

(I think Uz is the only one unaccounted for in this round unless I've lost track ... don't seem to have an initiative for him, please roll that and post what he'd like to do)

I am sorry, I don’t know where Uz would be in this fight.

 (Well, especially since Artifex was thinking of going back I was planning to wrap the initiative tables for both locations together and put the two bullywugs near you on the chart also.  At the moment one of those is rising out of the water of the cove near the point where the boats are and where you are concealed, and seems to be leaning on a trident.  The other started to emerge and then ducked down level with the water again at a signal from the lead bully)

 So do you need an initiative from me?

Artifex heads back towards the boats, and attacks one of the enemy's approaching g the boat with magic stone

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sorry for the long silence, things have just been exhausting. I'm gonna put what my character is doing, and I'll flavor it up a bit later

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope we will continue soon 🙂

 Yes please.  And.   Given how difficult it's been for me to get enough time online to process DM-level complexities rather than just slapping in a quick character post or two, I'm wondering if it's more fair to everyone to essentially restart the combat from scratch in current locations.  I could put in a post redescribing and summarizing where everyone (and everyfrog and grub too LOL) is at the moment, and in what condition, and then we could take it from there with the new initiatives active.  Pictorially I'm still working on a map of the cove where Uz and the two new bullywugs are; once I have that I'll post both maps so everyone can get a visceral sense of the situation.

I like that idea.

Sounds good to me :) 

Works for me.

sounds like a plan

(ok, I have the clearing map almost finished; I'll edit it in here in probly a few minutes to an hour.  Still trying to figure out how to use the DNDB map tool and I thought it had more than it does, so I've had to reactivate my DungeonFog account to do up the landing map.  I'd forgotten how decent a job that free site does on dungeon and small-scale outdoor maps; I guess reely the main reason I stopped using them was they don't have assets/backdrops/etc. for building larger worldmaps and I was hoping to find a one stop site for all my DM mapping.  Anyhow, go ahead and roll init now, and look over these maps once I drop them in and tell me if I've got the positioning of your character right)
