Strong Bird learns slowly and flies quickly. He rushes to the enemy spawn to get beat up. (With 60 feet of flight (readied) you can reach G-9. With another 60 feet (on your turn) you can definitely reach Deceit though.) The Bird scores a hit.
Ohio prepares his gnarled cudgel. (Ohio reaches H-9)
Rec sends a bolt across the field. Marston isn't able to avoid the strike even with Excelent cover. (Rec isn't able to reach O-7, the bushescate difgicult terrain, P-6?)
(I think I have, lol. Might have skipped over a few pages, but I wanted to get caught up before I joined.)
(This thread is longer than most novels.)
(The Grapes of Wrath: 464 pages. The Way of Kings: 1007 pages. I estimate we have roughly 300 words per page, which is about what you find in a published novel, but its fairly inconsistent here.)
Fortunately, we still have some ways to go before we reach A Song of Ice and Fire territory.

Parabolus moves to M8 and orders his minion to move toward D8 to guard the flag and take the Dodge action. Parabo then scans the area for his prey (Search: 7).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rajiira settles into her spot, drawing an arrow from her bow, lining her eye up against the head along the shaft (giggity) Rajiira scans the field, as well as she can through the various visual obstacles (Perception: 21) ~.~;
Rajiira would keep her bow drawn, aiming across the field to where the enemy team was, and Readyies an attack, preparing to shoot the first enemy combatant she can 'see' on the field.
If her ready-condition is triggered: Attack: 6 Damage: 7
Not bothering to stealth, making herself an open target on purpose to draw the enemies out.

Psy dashes for the gates, and onto the battlefield. (You reach D-6.)
Caleb, having been detected by many of his opponents darts out to battle. (Roll stealth if you wish to remain hidden from those who have failed to detect you already.)
Nimbus (N) joins the battle, and one other arrives as well to oppose him. (Nimbus will be on Abubz' team.) The other will be... (10)... A fighter "Green Bean!" (B)
R'ajiira knocks an arrow. (In the future, wait 'til the trigger occurs to roll so it doesnt affect decision making.)
(Use the diagonal rules below from the DMG for measuring distances on a grid:)
When measuring range or moving diagonally on a grid, the first diagonal square counts as 5 feet, but the second diagonal square counts as 10 feet. This pattern of 5 feet and then 10 feet continues whenever you’re counting diagonally, even if you move horizontally or vertically between different bits of diagonal movement. For example, a character might move one square diagonally (5 feet), then three squares straight (15 feet), and then another square diagonally (10 feet) for a total movement of 30 feet.
Green Bean, the Half-orc fighter in plate armor, moves ahead and target Abubz with True Strike before taking cover. His familiar, Batman (*) flies ahead. Dodges.

Seeing his friend dash forward, Strong Bids takes to the air and (assuming I can fly over obstacles like normal) takes off to 13F (I readied too!)
who’s turn is it?
After moving his prepared distance, Strong Bird flies to 15B and smacks Deceit on the side of the head and then claws at her.
Attack: 10 Damage: 6
Attack: 22 Damage: 5
Ohio moves to 11H and pulls out a small club, enchanting it with Shillelagh that he got as a reward and Readys to attack anyone nearby.
Rec steps forward at 7O, and sends a bolt of guided light after Marston, from across the arena.
Attack: 22 Damage: 15

So if I’m at 1, I can move to 2 with 5ft, right? So 1A can go to 2B? Etc.?
if so, Psy dashes to 7D.
(That’s my movement plan. I’m at 1N, then I move to 2O, then 3M, then 4O, then all the way to 7O. Unless I don’t understand the map right ;) )
Fortunately, we still have some ways to go before we reach A Song of Ice and Fire territory.

Be wary. I sense this pest is up to something.
