I’d be just West of Sera. Honestly, I think I’m the only hold out. I say let Kasi unleash that arrow. If she’s being honest, and being true to her experience, she has the best reason to fire first.
Ok, I'm about to pop up the new Battle Map and start this party.
Kasi's lowering of her bow has been retconned, so she still has her readied action. Merkas I believe you also have one? Does anyone else have a readied action?
Yeah, it's a save or suck spell, so he has to roll 11 or less to be hit by it or no damage at all. That's why I was trying to line them both up, to get two chances at damage.
NO. we get to use skills as add on to things we do. That is his homebrew rule. The DM made a list and it Might give us some effects. ( list is a few pages back maybe the DM can post it again for more easy)
I have the google doc, I just thought that was in place of our actions, not in addition to them. Guess I need some clarification. Some of those would be nice to chain together for sure.

Talking is a free action, and motion (many movement that happen inside your five foot square, like spinning a quarterstaff or banging it dramatically against a nearby rock) are implied during combat. So, a few skills, like Intimidate, are something you can do as a free action inside a turn. Engaging in a two chapter monologue would take more than one turn, though. Think about what you (the IRL you) could do within about 6 seconds of time. Short sentences, sounds or gestures. If you don't declare the intentions and roll a check, I'll generally assume it's fluff. Same with called shots. Call 'em and roll accordingly.
OK, so if effectively Insight, Intimidate, Persuade, nature, animal handling, and the like can all be considered free actions as they can be accomplished while doing other things, but things like charger, athletic are added to the narrative of the actions. I think I understand. I will be watching more closely how I can add in the narration of the skills. Thank you.
Ok, so I'm never clear on the rules for half damage/half healing in DND, and there always seems to be a debate around it when a new edition rolls out.
The way I understand it in 5e, half of 7 damage is 3, but half of 7 healing is 4. Does that sound correct? I'm willing to change my ruling if it's not.
So MrUncleTio and I share initiative I am willing to allow him to go first even if my dexterity is higher. if that’s acceptable then our group is lined up like this:
13-Sera
9-Hastos
9-Merkas
3-Sharn
not sure where the newt, barking chicken, or Kasi fit yet
Giant Strider Sera Merkas Hastos Firenewt Warrior Kasi Sharn (Rocky and Knuckleface will abstain from combat unless they have no choice, or are ordered too, but they are still hitched to the carts)

You can delay initiative if that works best for you. I'll adjust your turn order.
I’d be just West of Sera.

Thoughts?

Nope, Sharn was busy keeping the chicken away from the horses and calling out the little red liar.
Looks good to me. Was holding Catapult on a "rock" but one of the Cactus Fruits to the right of the strider seem more fun.
Darn I was trying to edit and post a copy of the battle map to make it easier to understand my intent. Can't just share from my computer....grrr

Yea, Hastos is pretty trained on the Newt. He’s ready to rumble
ifwhen this goes sideways. He’ll react if the Newt becomes hostile.Character: Hastos, Ibahalii Vriwhulth, the Reaper of Glory v2: IC Thread
Sera did her readied attack. mabe get some advantage bumping into it too.
(used my shitty rolls for insight..I roll good again lol )
Killed by a cactus maybe? It did decent damage too :D

How is it you always seem to have two actions/attacks a turn? Is that a class feature you have?

NO. we get to use skills as add on to things we do. That is his homebrew rule. The DM made a list and it Might give us some effects. ( list is a few pages back maybe the DM can post it again for more easy)
OK that's what I was missing.

I’m gonna use that DM inspiration on that Attack. Well, crap, that didn’t help at all… 12. LOL.

I been confused myself by that. I think you halve damage round down and healing you round up. So you got it right.
