Tarek's toad yelps again as it springs away. It slips on the ice as it lands and scrambles to its feet, making another short hop and ending up 20 feet away from Tarek.
Torrent, your sprig of mistletoe falls to the ground as you're enveloped by the toad's hungry mouth. You are now in the hands of fate. Make a death saving throw.
Aluzira, Fluin grapples with the toad, now 15 feet from you, while Ulben stands free beside you, still besmeared with the toad's saliva and venom. While behind you and over your left shoulder, some 40 feet away, you hear Torrent's cry as he is bitten.
The toad you're pursuing, Tarek, is still within closing range across the frozen marsh. Off to your right 15 feet, obscured from view by the trees, you can hear Torrent's toad munching on him.
Aluzira quickly glances between Fluin and Ulben and then to where she heard Torrent's scream. "Please forgive me," she says, dashing away to where she heard Torrent.
(I will use any possible movement to get to Torrent. Also, before I finish, two questions. Does that count as an action? and how close does that put me from Torrent and Anakis?)
"Okay!" Anakis takes the potion from Aluzira and looks at the toad standing over Torrent's body, an icy look in her eyes. (When it gets to her turn, Anakis will make a run to Torrent and use her action to revive Torrent with the potion.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Tarek will continue to chase his toad for another 10 feet, but hearing Torrent's cries, decides to abandon the toad and help him out. He'll use the rest of his movement to try to reach Torrent, and then try to stabilize him. "Pelor would tell me to value the life of a friend over the death of an enemy," he insists. (Medicine: 20)
Tarek, you have just enough movement to reach Torrent and see to it that he is stable. Can you please describe your successful attempt to administer first aid to him?
Torrent is stable, but remains unconscious and clenched in the toad's powerful jaws.
Ulben, please describe what you do on your turn.
Anakis, you reach Torrent by moving just 5 feet. By administering the potion to him, he heals 5 hit points and regains consciousness. The toad that holds him with its great mouth is 10 feet from you, on the other side of Torrent. You can move up to another 10 feet if you wish.
(Anakis has no more actions this turn, just movement after giving Torrent the potion, correct?) Anakis moves around Torrent to get a little closer to the toad before yelling, "You'd better let go if you know what's good for you!" Her eyes get darker, and anyone looking on would think her skin darkened too.
I think the most relevant recent post to Ulben is #728 just up-thread from here, but to provide a more general recap for everyone's benefit and to answer your specific questions, first, yes, combat is most certainly still occurring. Combat-type events that have happened within the last round are that (1) Fluin grappled the toad that was biting Ulben and pulled it off of him, (2) Torrent was bitten by another toad and became unconscious, (3) the grappled toad tried and failed to bite Fluin instead, (4) Tarek stabbed a third toad that was fleeing from him, and (5) Aluzira, Tarek, and Anakis went to Torrent's aid resulting in his regaining consciousness, although he is still grappled and restrained by the toad that bit him. There are three living toads of which you're aware. One is 75 feet away from you and seems to be escaping across the marshy field. Another is trying to eat Torrent just under 45 feet away from you. And a third is 10 feet away from you, being grappled by Fluin.
And he runs to the Torrent and the toad as he gets close he trips and falls shoulder first into the toads midsection. (Unarmed strike), he get up and as he does so he looses control of his stick hitting the toad.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Because of the difficulty of moving through the dense wood, Ulben, and the distance involved, you can't get to Torrent and the toad by the end of your turn, but let's say your stick attack is ready to hit a toad when one comes near enough.
Hearing Torrent get bitten and Ulben run off towards the others, Fluin stops wrestling with his toad and releases it, his rage suddenly replaced by deep concern for his comrade in arms. He charges over the fallen toad and through the wood to catch up to Aluzira, pulling out his other handaxe as he dashes. "Hang on Torrent," he calls out. "We're coming to save you!"
Having developed a taste for the human, preferring it to half-elf, Fluin's toad gives chase, leaping forward through the brush. It lands badly, its legs tangled in the vines and the corpse of its colleague. Intent on its prey, it gathers itself up to spring again, landing just behind Fluin, venom dripping from its mouth, just in time to feel the thwack of Ulben's stick, which stops it in its tracks and forces it to take notice.
Tarek's toad continues to leap to freedom, slipping on ice after the first jump but righting itself and jumping again. It's now nearly 60 feet from Tarek and 90 feet from Ulben, heading out across the marsh.
Torrent's toad widens its mouth and tries to fit the water genasi all the way inside as it bites down again. Bite: 16
Torrent, you have now been swallowed and are inside the belly of the toad. It is dark, and the sounds of the rest of the party around you are muffled, drowned out by the sounds of the toad's breathing, its beating heart, and its gurgling intestines. You cannot move to exit the toad but can take other actions you normally could.
Unfortunately, your sprig of mistletoe lies on the ground outside.

A success!
Aluzira, Fluin grapples with the toad, now 15 feet from you, while Ulben stands free beside you, still besmeared with the toad's saliva and venom. While behind you and over your left shoulder, some 40 feet away, you hear Torrent's cry as he is bitten.
The toad you're pursuing, Tarek, is still within closing range across the frozen marsh. Off to your right 15 feet, obscured from view by the trees, you can hear Torrent's toad munching on him.
What do you do?
Aluzira quickly glances between Fluin and Ulben and then to where she heard Torrent's scream. "Please forgive me," she says, dashing away to where she heard Torrent.
(I will use any possible movement to get to Torrent. Also, before I finish, two questions. Does that count as an action? and how close does that put me from Torrent and Anakis?)
Yes, by taking the Dash action, you can come within reach of Anakis and within about 10 feet of Torrent.
You can also interact with an object, if you wish. I assume you sheathed one of your daggers before casting cure wounds on Ulben.
(Okay, thanks!)
"Anakis! give this to Torrent Quickly!" Aluzira says fishing out the Potion of Healing from her bag and handing it to her.
"Okay!" Anakis takes the potion from Aluzira and looks at the toad standing over Torrent's body, an icy look in her eyes. (When it gets to her turn, Anakis will make a run to Torrent and use her action to revive Torrent with the potion.)
While we wait to resolve Tarek's turn, we can also move on to Ulben.
You're 5 feet from Fluin who’s wrestling with the toad and holding it at bay 10 feet from you, Ulben. What do you do?
Tarek will continue to chase his toad for another 10 feet, but hearing Torrent's cries, decides to abandon the toad and help him out. He'll use the rest of his movement to try to reach Torrent, and then try to stabilize him. "Pelor would tell me to value the life of a friend over the death of an enemy," he insists. (Medicine: 20)
Tarek, you have just enough movement to reach Torrent and see to it that he is stable. Can you please describe your successful attempt to administer first aid to him?
Tarek will offer up a silent prayer to Pelor to protect Torrent, before ripping up pieces of his shirt to cover his wounds.
Thanks!
Torrent is stable, but remains unconscious and clenched in the toad's powerful jaws.
Ulben, please describe what you do on your turn.
Anakis, you reach Torrent by moving just 5 feet. By administering the potion to him, he heals 5 hit points and regains consciousness. The toad that holds him with its great mouth is 10 feet from you, on the other side of Torrent. You can move up to another 10 feet if you wish.

That’s correct. Giving him the potion takes an action.
(I'm not going to lie I'm a little lost on what's going on, are we still in combat, how many toads are there, where are they?)

And he runs to the Torrent and the toad as he gets close he trips and falls shoulder first into the toads midsection. (Unarmed strike), he get up and as he does so he looses control of his stick hitting the toad.
