The number of elephant facts I've had to Google... :)

lol i do like the edition of the elephant, out of interest roughly how common are they in this region? on the one hand if they are rare its going to attract attention on the other ...its a bloody great elephant - great deterrent 

I love that the elephant's name is Zulu for the animal! A nice touch. And so much fun to interact with something so unusual. 

Writing posts on the computer is so much easier! If I am working, I have to use my phone though.  Thankfully, I was training a student yesterday, so I could take a few moments here and there to post when she was away.

You gotta love D&D. 

Cheers. :)

I'm not sure how you want to handle shields. Some DM's allow you to equip a shield for an object interaction, and others say it requires an action. If you are of the former mold, I'll drop my longbow and equip my shield at the end of my turn.

Roughly how far away (feet) are the goblins ? I guess I’ll need this info after they move. 

Ha! Somehow I missed the battle map! Thanks!

I'll handle shields as a weapon, so it would take one half action to wield or sheathe (one action if you draw it and sheathe something else, one action if you draw both a sword and a shield, etc).

But do you have a shield? From your inventory, I think you took two martial weapons (lance and scimitar) instead of a shield and a martial weapon?

Typical. I try and draw a shield I don't even have. :)

So would I be able to drop my longbow on my first turn for free and draw my scimitar on my next turn or should I combine the two on a single turn as an action?

Thanks. :)

Oh snap! That poor girl should have stayed on the elephant! Lol

Haha! I’m eager to watch this play out
