Honestly, body language more than combat. I wonder more than anything if this creature would yield and just leave or if it's 100% adamant on robbing us.
Rolled a 9 for initiative earlier. Your call if the held action holds given the current circumstances.
Readied actions outside of initiative will take place before round 1, but in initiative order. So, if you have a readied action, then it will happen in a round before everyone's initiative. Currently, the way I see it in my head:
Firenewt is about 10' away from Sera who is in the front rank. Hastos and Kasi are 5' behind Sera and to her right. You and Sharn are about 10' to the right of the main group, shuffling left and right to keep the Giant Strider from getting too close to the horses, which are directly behind the two of you. And the Giant Strider is about 10' away from you and Sharn, directly across from Sharn, who's incredible Handle Animal skill has most of its attention.
Insight 6 and 7...it is a red salamaner and a giant chicken... :D
Arcana 12 for firenewt
arcana 8 for strider (barking chicken)

If we're fighting, Kasi and the Giant Strider have readied attacks, and the party needs to roll initiative.

For a statblock? Combat strategy? Body language? What are you going for?

Battle coming up it seems.. Good luck everyone! May the Dice gods be with you! Do not die. Such shameful death
.." sniff sniff my character got killed by a giant Chicken...so embarresing..."
Soooo, we would still have the same hp as in lvl 1, right?
Yeah, though DM said we got a short rest, hopefully something reset to assist you.

Nah, it's cool. Sharn got fully healed by Sera, and monk doesn't have any resources until lvl 2. That extra attack is pretty handy tho.
Sera is on initative 12. Hopefully we can catch that Strider by suprise as it gets some Jackal left overs to eat.
Sharn is on initiative 3. Doing those chicken nooses really tuckered him out.
Maybe he's still kindda sleepy.
Bah, Initiative: 9

Combat so dangerous at level 1 I feel a certain nervousness. A good hit you go down. Always excuting :)
I also have no clue to this monsters. Never used them myself. Like it looks like the Newt might handle fire well
Merkas will share some knowledge. Met the dc for the arcana check so DM gave me some insight. This is going to be fun
