RETCON Following Toots taunt with Ely's deft deflection, the green flaming blade lands in the gravel between Tommary's legs. Not realizing his assailants actual target, Tommary looks down there and utters "Missed it by that much."
OOC: sorry, I just read that Scopes things about Snickers bars so it was already on my mind, And HEY! I got a reaction too.
Tommary uses his Scout skirmisher ability to head fifteen feet NE down the corriror free of opportunity attacks.
OOC: haven't used that like ever. This also means the Ely didn't get burned too right? Sweet taunt.

RETCON MULTIVERSAL CONFUSION: Sorry Wysp, and while I appreciate you accomodating my retcon, I can withdraw it because one I should have declared it after T'kinga's turn was complete. [Long winded post alert, but want to make sure we're all on the same page]. I don't think there's a reason to redirect any of T'Kinga's green flame blade attacks.
First off, I think skirmisher may be near impossible to use in the game without causing messes like the above. However, the way I interpret it should have allowed events to occur as they did. Skirmishers text reads as follows:
You can move up to half your speed as a reaction when an enemy ends its turn within 5 ft. of you without provoking opportunity attacks.
The way I interpret that is that it's the whole turn, including attacks, Tommary is reacting too, not the fact that T'Kinga ended movement in front of him (that would be like a 12th level or higher rogue ability, not a starting archetype level 3). So here's how I envisioned the turn going: T'Kinga advances over Layla's rubble, melee attacks Tommary and jumps flame from Tommary's femoral to Ely. As reactions to that attack, Ely imposes disadvantage with her protection style, and Toots lowers the roll with cutting words. So the only real "retcon" in play was Tommary narrating no longer getting hit in the thigh and because Tommary always thinks with his slim jim, thought that was the acutal target he narrowly avoided losing. The skirmisher movement happened after all that (though in hindsight it's my bad I shouldn't have layered that on).
I think skirmisher works this way as it's not a free premature level progression escape type maneuver, rather it's more reflective of actually skirmishing, Tommary has made contact with the enemy, but the class feature gets him mobility to avoid flanking or a sneak attack on him by follow up assailants.
Sorry everyone I sorta made a hash out of this. My bad. Lastly, rather than having to rewrite the whole seen, my player style is totally fine with a DM saying "eh, nah, you needed to declare that reaction when you noted damage" or something to that effect. I've got no problem rolling with a denial. Anyway, I'll go with the reality Wysp presented in the last DM post or wait till a new canon is pronounced.
OOC: While we resolve the Time Bomb, I will note as a fairness check that both blind enemies get a recurring Con 15 save at the end of their turn to try and break the blind. Unsure if they've been taking them.

Vor'nak made CON save.
K'tinga used an item to clear his eyes - not that it matters now =)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Tommary the Unworthy, unclear whether the burn inside his leg is attributed to a wound taken in combat or a flare up of "other stuff" ... such is the lot of a life spent in battle and bawdy. Regardless, he steps to his right to shot at Paugh with his bow, saying "thwip, thwip" as he does so:
Attack: 16 Damage: 7
Attack: 15 Damage: 10
If 9 is still in the fight, and if either of those shots hit 4 sneaky thwip damage
What? There's no real mechanical effect for a silencer on a bow in CQB anyway, so Tommary affixed a silencer on his bow for rule of cool sound effect reasons.

Jander Sunstar is the thinking person's Drizzt, fight me.
OOC: All attacks against the badger spellcaster are at disadvantage? Whoops, news to me. I didn’t realize that before and didn’t take disadvantage on that last spiritual weapon attack. Do you want me to reroll it? Either way, Toots will do the same combo this turn.

An arrow sinks in with great effect! Number 9 finishes him off with a meaty *THWACK!*

RETCON - which I would be pleased if this did not happen again. Not sure how to avoid it in the future though =)
POST #4770 OK, If Tommary used his Reaction to move away when K'tinga advanced, the attack would have been made against Elyona instead.
Attack roll 22 - 3 for Toots counter boots insult, drops it to 19 which still hits. No reroll for Defender as it only works for others, not self.
15 damage to Elyona from stab and fire.
Green fire jumps to Ilyara for 11.
I have allocated damage.

Didn’t Toots move away from whatshisnuts? Isn’t that why she took 23 damage?

Toots ran away and he followed up as she is was the only one he could perceive. Couldn't get OA as he was blind.
