Virgil pulls the bottle out of Neega's reach. "Easy girl, just gotta ask if you want some. Little slow after running all night, huh?"

Beat

"Ah, shit. I guess me too, huh?"

Virgil throws the bottle at Neega. Draws a dagger and throws at Kaemar. Draws his scimitar and strikes at Neega.

Dagger Attack: 6 Damage: 6

Scimitar Attack: 12 Damage: 9

The dagger sticks in Kaemar's stomach. The scimitar slashes Neega's arm.

Roll Initiative 

"I don't think you're as drun... "

// action described occurs //

''...dammit!"

//  Initiative  -  13   - well, I'm hoping I'm not surprised by what just happened. //

(Wait, so what happened woth the attempted prepared Frostbite? If it goes off, Virgil needs a CON save, DC 13 or takes 1 ice dmg and has disadvantage om that dagger throw. Initiative: 3)

(Damn...added spell damage after posting preceeding the initiative roll, so it threw up the banner.)

Hopefully the prepped spell saves Kaemar from stomach pain.

Neegalum doesn't drink much, so that arm slash is probably a warning not to reach for bottles.

Initiative: 6 (Edit: After the busy day, guess it makes sense that Neega and Lyn are further down the combat order.)

//I’m not wild about the “preping” of instantaneous spells. It strikes me as a binary choice cast it or not. Especially since it doesn’t have a preparation requirement like it would if you were playing a wizard. Casting would have set everything off with Virgil earlier but that was not Lyn’s intention. If it had been, I suspect you would have had her attack with something more powerful like a Melee strike.//

(Lyn is fiery and typically eager to fight, but far from foolish (I think). A newcomer with drinks, arms, and armor in the wilderness seems foolish, but may not be out of the ordinary, but considering everything, caution is always advisable. I suppose the idea of preparing single-action spells/cantrips is a bit grey since it never specifies anything other than 1 Action within a round theoretically 6 seconds long. With so many people acting in a short span, there's probably not much difference between a lvl 3 lightning bolt and a cantrip fire bolt.)

Considering that Virgil is getting a round of attacks before initiative order starts (and might end up at the top of the list), maybe Lyn should have her prepared action go off, after Virgil's attacks but also before the initiative order starts. Won't save Kaemar from the belly wound, but might make a difference for Virgil's next attack.

Initiative 12

Kaemar groans nearly dropping to her knees with a dagger stuck in her. She starts to weave her arcane strength together ready to retaliate.

Boom! Good time for a crit

As Kaemar is probably up first I'm going to post my turn up assuming I haven't been murdered in the meantime!

"I'm going to make you regret that you fat son of a b@#!;"

Kaemar focuses her mind, her orb, raised in front of begins to smoulder then flames lick the surface - suddenly a fist sized ball of fire hurtles towards her attacker 

chromatic orb Attack 10 Damage if hits 6

I can agree with the placement of the frostbite between Virgil's surprise and standard initiative. 

Virgil Con save 16 Fail - Takes 1 damage and grimaces at the cold in his hand.

Virgil Initiative 7

Merrick still needs to roll initiative but I think he said he was going to be out for a bit. I'll roll it here and we can adjust anything when he gets back. (Though seeing as it's all the same roller we should talk about just having me run group initiatives when needed with your modifiers appropriately in place.)

Merrick Initiative 17

Well, in a hilarious turn of events, everyone goes before Virgil. 

Kaemar, Merrick, Louis, Lyn, Neega, Virgil. (I'll make a Merrick move at the end of the round before Virgil if he's not back.)

Kaemar's spell hits slamming into Virgil's chest "Ahhhhh, the next one goes in those hands girl!"

Louis is up.

Combat Map

(That's what you get for trying to ambush us! I suppose if you look at it from different perspective, there was no surprise round due to Louis' Insight check and Virgil is actually at the top of initiative :P)

Tomato Tomato (well, that expression doesn’t work in text)

Louis looks directly at the man and issues a command, "GROVEL."

// DC 14 WIS save or Virgil must use his turn to fall prone and end his turn upon doing so. //

Wis save 8 fail! Oh jeez. “Let me just lay here and let you kick me for a bit.”

LYn is up

(There’s going to be some sweet advantage attack’s next round)

Lynistra drops her shield and draws both of her swords; curved, slicing scimitar in the right, solid, piercing short sword in the left. She set both to Virgil's back, ready for the man to move, "Give me a reason, just one little damn reason."

(Prepared Action and Minor Action for Attack and off-hand in case Virgil stands. No need to kill when we can question first.)

//He's standing now. He falls prone only on his turn and only for one turn.  And it doesn't change his intentions... He still means to shank us. (I think he does at least.... Lol) //

(Just read the wording on Command. I thought it was instantaneous. Correction to the above: )

Lynistra draws her scimitar and wheels to the side of Virgil opposite Neega. "Bastard!" She screams as her blade falls across the man's side.

(Attack: 18. On hit, 4 dmg)

Neega is attacking normally with her longsword. (If this guy is to be interrogated, better to hope he can be patched up after he is knocked down, rather than risk another serious wound like the one on her arm.) Current hp: 5/11

Attack: 25 Damage: 5 slashing (Edit: Damn bleeding is making the sword handle slippery!)

(If it helps, I'm trying ti give you advantage with flanking :) Note wording "moved to side opposite of Neega')
