Shutorn had just stepped off the boat and is at space H10. Finding himself frightened of the pterafolk, Shutorn retrieves some tiny tarts and a feather from his pouch and waves the feather in the air while holding the tarts and telling a joke in Draconic, casting Tasha’s hideous laughter on it. DC 15 Wisdom save.
Still standing on the deck of the boat as the reptiles fly in, Tel strikes with his Quarterstaff as one of them comes close enough to attack. That and his shell protects him from most of its attacks, but the last one hits and leaves behind a surprising fear of this flying killer. His survival instincts triggered, Tel grabs for his holy amulet and prays: "Quiet One, a pact; I shall attack none here, so long as you keep them from attacking me". There is a small flash, and a certain calmness seems to start hanging over Tel. There is still a certain tremor to him, as he stares at the target of his terror.

The two airborne Pterafolk synchronize an attack on the team that felled their nest-mate, power-flapping up 10 feet, then crossing mid-air as they roll toward each other, narrowly missing a collision.

Huh, turning dodge into one of those hoverable links messed the rolls, but removing it fixed them thankfully. Let's put it here instead: Dodge
P1 is already down and out. P2 will be right next to Shutorn, wherever he decides to place himsel

P2 at H11, Wis save: 19
Vernell moves up to cast slow on as many of the Pterafolk as he can catch. DC 15 Wis save

I think that would be all of them, considering that P2 is near H10, according to Hriste, and P1 is dead, due to Echo.

Leann's attack narrowly misses the nimble Pterafolk.
sorry for the delay, folks.
[If this map looks wrong for your character, please point it out, otherwise this is where I think everyone is.]
When the pterafolk swoop in, the tabaxi women run for the waves, plunging out of sight into the water.
Things on shore take a turn for the weird, as Vernell's slow spell fails to hinder the pterafolk.
<Shutorn and Samogri, please make a Wis saving throw.>
<Dorian, who is the owl giving his help action to? Anyone want to claim it?>
The people who have posted after the Pterafolk are now group 1.
(Tel
Huarache
Shutorn
Leann
Vernell
Dorian, Did I miss anyone?)
anyone who has not yet posted wishes to do so, you will be group 2.
Up next:
round 1: {saving throws}, group 2,
round 2: ptera-folk, group 1, ...
Shutorn Wisdom save: 15
(Whoever wants to attack the pterafolk that the owl harried would get the help - let's say that's P4.)
Birgit | Shifter | Sorcerer | Dragonlords
Shayone | Hobgoblin | Sorcerer | Netherdeep
I think Tel is the only one who struck P4 and it was a hit. Other players have yet to post, though.
Shutorn cringes as he feels a sharp pain in his stomach, but focus and dep breaths allow him to regain his composure as the pressure in his gut eases.

Leann strides to the one she attacked before, not sure if it is P1 or P2, which ever is the one that was grounded before, and strikes at them.
