Thanks for the quick reply. Perhaps using the convention DragonHunters used in his last post will make things easier to see. I know I appreciate the list of attacks at the bottom of your posts stating who it is against and the rolls.

 

 Glad my format can be helpful!
One small correction though, It's *her* last post. And you don't have to use my handle, you guys can just call me Nixie!

Saorsirse chants a cantorial prayer to Finnian, asking for healing for all allies within 30ft of her Channel Divinity: Preserve Life and restores 20hp to all plus 4 disciple of life feature. Then, if allowed draws her longbow, nocks an arrow and takes aim at the closest enemy but takes a moment to steady herself.

Saorsirse is after Artifex

I apologize again for my mistake. I think this is the 2nd time you've said this, which shows how bad my memory is!

it looks like you missed some posts. Your turn was not skipped. Saorsirse Initiative count 6:

June 21 post:

Saorsirse init 6 if next will run 10ft out of forest, speak a blessing on Zladark using bless and then take an archer’s stance. “Please master Finnian, allow the monk to free himself from that frog! Mo ghile mear!

DM post from June 30 which shows how the dwarf Arti became the elf Saorsirse and included the actions you wanted Saorsirse to take.

Quote from OisinmacCameron >>

As Saorsirse emerges from a clump of reeds so thick that it might well be called a forest of them,  her sudden appearance draws the eyes of all in clearing and cove.  But the strangest look is on the face of Arti.  The vigorous-tongued dwarven priestess looks ... resigned.  She mutters to herself, "Is He calling me to yet another life, then?  Yet another story?  But ... oh Moradin, did it HAVE to be an eeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllfffffffffffffffffffffff ... !!!"  Her voice trails off, and while the onlookers watch in amaze her body dissolves into mist and is gone.  There are only some sparkling gold-and-red motes of light that float over to Saorsirse 's hand and sink into her skin.  She blinks in surprise, but then returns to the blessing spell she is casting with a new awareness in her eyes. 

===***===

Zladark: "Whenever (you) make... an attack roll or a saving throw before the spell ends (1 minute), add... 1d4 to the attack roll or save."

(OOP: and Artifex is up, followed by the swamp zombie to close round 3)

Thanx for clearing that up! 😄

My wife says I sound rude in my texts and emails, so I hope I didn't seem rude in my reply. Just wanted you to see that the DM didn't skip you and that I wasn't trying to skip you either.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

You’re gold. No you weren’t rude. It’s only that texting is a very informal style of communication, so it’s understandable. I grew up in the 90’s and early 2000’s so not as proficient with smartphones, especially texting and content creation, although I am great at gaming on it as well as tablets and laptops/desktops.

 Anyway, Happy Independence, and have fun at the parades if your area has one, as well as fireworks tonight! 🎆🎇🎆

 You also msged me saying you were withdrawing from the game if you didn't hear by a date three days before I managed to get back on line and answer you.  I proceeded based on that assumption.  Glad to see you have more time than you expected and are able to rejoin us, but pls. have some patience with me in these transitions.

Sorry, yeah I don’t have a very regular sense of time. I have something called “time blindness” due to having ADD/ADHD. Essentially, it, in my case, severely impairs my sense of the passage of time in periods of more than one fifteen hour period, so I may seem impatient or slow to see posts, but it is not so. I am slowly and steadily getting better at registering time passing. 

 Again, I am sorry if I seem impatient, and offer my apologies at this time. 😥😥😥

I also apologize, for getting so grumpy; but ... no, excuse me ... AND I also am on the ADHD/ADD and autism spectrum, and I was triggered by what I experienced as you telling me you were going to withdraw and then returning without letting me know.    I realize now that I've had some time to process it that you might have sent me a DM that just got swallowed up in the general site glitchiness that has been kicking up recently; and even if that wasn't the case I really appreciate your courage and openness in reminding me that other people besides me have neurodifferences.   Actually wanted to post this a few days ago, but its taken me the extra time to parse the social communication and make sure I wasn't sending msgs I don''t intend.  I'd be happy to talk this out further in messages if you want, or not ... whatever yr comfortable with.

I also see that Gwrgi is up next in the initiative, and given the chewing Zladark has just taken I don't think she'd even waste time trying to come up with a clever remark.  At least, not beyond the healing word that she utters with a graceful wave of her talon in his direction.  The three 'wizard-fodder' [Tooltip Not Found] are just as clear about their preferred response, continuing their attack with a ferocity that only seems to grow the greater as their side sustains more losses.

===***===

Healing word: d4+2 (3) HP restored to Zladark

Bullywug # attack (short axe, vs. Tarton) 20;  damage if hits 5 slashing

Bullywug #2 attack (spear, vs. Zladark) 17; damage if hits 6 piercing

Bullywug #3 looks about in confusion for a moment as its previous target disappears, but as soon as it sees Saoirsirse emerging from the trees it charges towards her with a manic scream.  It will take the entirety of this round to cross the distance between it and its new target, and will be ready to attack next round ... presuming it lasts that long LOL

  (and Uz is up!)

What enemies are close to Uz?

(he's closest to the two tridenteers that are chasing him, and next closest to the original cove boss who is now obsessed with chasing down Artifex since that last taunt of theirs.)

He will attack the most dangerous and injured enemy. He has already pulled his blade so he swipes at them

Attack: 15

Damage: 7

The frothing ambush subleader is so intent on its pursuit of Artifex that it has forgotten the dangerous hobgoblin warrior it was fighting at the first.  It is only when Uz' blade hums by its ear, a fraction of an inch away from taking off its head altogether (subleader's AC 16 ... literally 1 dice pip away from a hit ... :`-( ... ) that it realizes its mistake.  Its popping amphibious eyes jerk and hop back and forth between its two closest foes, and for the moment it doesn't seem to know what to do next.  (DC 13 WIS save for it to recover from its fear and confusion in time to act next round: [ r oll]1d20-2[/rol l].)

Meanwhile,

(wip)

Saorsirse will nock an arrow, and draw back the yew, and loose the arrow at the tridenteer engaged with Uz at I believe normal range. Correct me if I’m wrong.

 16+4 to hit 10 piercing if hits

 (meanwhile the DM will come down with a nasty flu of the kind that was described as feeling like the 'green death' when I was growing up ... meaning that it really WASN'T life-threateningly serious but it sure felt like it and you weren't sure at times that wouldn't be better because then at least you'd be deliriously half-conscious instead of acutely feeling every ache and chill and wrench of your stomach ... anywho, MEANWHILE ... )

... Saoirsirse's arrow lances out to land solidly in the wet green flesh of her target almost at the same moment the bulk of the bullywugs in the cove attack, as well as the giant frogs and bullywug archer in the clearing.  None of these see any greater likelihood of success if they were to change tactics or targets, and so they continue to assail the party members they were attacking last round ... though in the case of some of those in the clearing, they might just be too stunned by the sudden reek.  The only attacker that varies its pattern at all is the trident-wielding frogman now facing Uz, who suddenly whips its net at him in an underhanded throw it hopes will trip him into the jabbing tines of its triple spear.

===***=== (think I have this right, though I'm celebrating my flu recovery so the sobriety factor ain't what it might be LOL)

Cove bullywug leader vs. Artifex: either CHAAAAAAAAAARGE! or DDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! lol, depending on result of WIS save above; if the former.

• Kukri (shortword) 21; damage if hits8 slashing
• Bite 4; damage if hits 2 piercing

Cove tridenteer #1  vs. Uz (the fresh one who came to the rescue after Uz nearly finished tridenteer #2, whose quickness in attacking on initiative count 20 cost it dear ... )(with Disadvantage on the net cast due to the distraction of Saoirsirse's arrow hit ... I'd say the net throw is the part of its attack that requires the most concentration and aim)

• Hooked net 16; damage if hits - none initially, but target is [Tooltip Not Found]; and if it attempts to escape it takes 1 (1d4 - 1)  piercing damage as it does so.  For every round it is restrained by the net and fails to escape, the target will also take an additional 1 (1d4 - 1) piercing damage from the hooks unless it remains comparatively immobile, taking no actions more strenuous than deep breathing or meditation. 
• Trident 12; damage if hits 6 piercing

Clearing bullywug archer  vs. Gwrgi

• Shortbow 25; damage if hits 7 piercing

• clearing giant frog (x4)  
  •  vs. Zladark: continue dragging him towards Glaar-Chronk
  •  vs. Tarton: bite attack 7; damage if hits 3 piercing
  •  vs. Saoirsirse (the one that had committed to attacking Arti before her disappearance): bite attack 4; damage if hits 4 piercing
  • Charge vs. Gwrgi (the one which was undecided before):  bite attack 23; damage if hits 5 piercing

(...and Artifex is up, followed by yon walkin' corpse ... )

"Va'ni Aniless!" Artifex curses in Elvish, as they once again find themselves gashed open. "That was my favorite kidney you just impaled!" They manage to grin though the pain. "But rest assured my friend, between the two of us, you shall hit the floor first." They pull a pitch black vial out of their supplies, waving it in the bullywug's face, before dropping it at their feet, the bottle shattering, sending the slippery substance everywhere. "Oops! Clumsy me!"

The Eladrin chortles as they dodge the clumsy bite and fall prey to their own spell, sprawling into the grease with their arms outstretched, like a child making a snow angel. Their blood mixes with the liquid as they flap their arms about, but they make what should be an unsettling image seem almost whimsical. "Want your mouth on me that badly eh? Very well, but I insist you join me down here. Don't worry." They wink at the increasingly frustrated bullywug. "I've got plenty of lube."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, so  here's hoping this goes well

Casting Grease. DC 13 dex save for anyone within a ten ft square. of Artifex

... Oh dear that's a 12

best case senario he falls too

(that might be why the bite missed though LOL ... by the time the froggie's teeth got there Artifex was no longer where it expected. ..)
