Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

Seth stops close and sprays a vicious line of acid across two skirmishers, horribly burning them both, then finishes the closest with his blade.

Rip pops out from under the table at square S-22, tankard of ale in hand. "Beer is proof that Habukkuk loves me and wants me to be happy. Not too sure how feels about you though." With a touch to his necklace he blows some foam off the top of his flagon. As it leaves the rim it becomes a cloud of putrid yellow gas heading straight for the face of Izzy at Q-22.

With a quick gulp from his stein, Rip ducks back under the table to T-22

Rip's acid cloud seems unable to gather enough power to affect the skirmisher.

Two skirmishers attack Anchor but are unable to overcome his defenses.

In the camp's SW corner, a skirmisher breaks free of the entangling vines and moves forward along with another who is picking his way through the tangle. They form into a pack with two others to gain advantage and attack Seth!

Three Izzy's land javelin strikes on Seth, who takes 12 dmg.

Gaston notices the pack of mudbellies advancing on his cadre, weighing the potential for danger behind him against the success that Anchor Chain is having.  "AC, after you finish those cretins off, leave the dozey ones be. They'll be dreaming of spoiled meat and ugly mates for a while yet" he shouts.  He casts a well-practiced Vicious Mockery, cursing the foul scaleskin at S-12 before he turns and climbs over the tables, ending his movement at W-21 (or wherever he can get to on the east side of Rip if the tables are considered 'difficult terrain'.  "Found something to wet our whistle, have we?" He asks his stout friend..

The black dragonborn smiles at the sight of his own blood running freely. Revealing rows of jagged sharp teeth, dripping with acid. "Now you are my worthy opponentsss. I will eat your heartsss!"

The Izzys also attacked Ulric during their turn but failed to land any blows.

Gaston leaps onto the table runs down its length, ending on top of it near where he intended. His insults seem to sting their target.

Rip surveys the success of his squad-mates around the table and decides his talents might be best employed elsewhere. He sets down the ale tankard, takes a deep breath and stretches with a low growl. His arms and legs extend more than appears possible as his torso thickens beyond what the capacity of one breath should allow. Fur sprouts through his armor as a tail extends from under his tunic. Where a smiling fey once rested now lies a snarling sandy brown wolf, pelt flecked with white.

Gaston saunters to the SE corner of the table, careful to avoid spilling any of the libations that had been provided before the ambush.  He grabs his hand crossbow, casually fires a bolt off at P-23, and says to the guys "Looks like Anchor really... held it down."  He then takes out a pair of sunglasses and puts them on.

Seth has 50' of hempen rope. He takes it out and moves in on the surrendering lzzy and binds it's hands behind it's back.

"A wissse decisssion lizardssscum. Now lead usss to the kobold'sss younglingsss. I may yet let you live"

"Disarm and bind the 4 sleeping Izzies too" Derlyn suggests as he looks about for the kobolds that fled

Aid in tying guys up..."who's the resident interrogator around here?" Ulric asks with very little emotion and a slight smile as he looks at the party.

He will also retrieve the halberd and put it on his horse (which should be somewhere nearby)

Derlyn nods at Gaston.  They have played "good guard, bad guard" many times in the past together.

Derlyn milks his performance, waiting for Gaston to step in and save the poor wretch

Ulric will try and suppress his laughter as he leads Fritz over closer to the group (whenever this is possible anyway).

Gaston steps forward, arms outstretched as if to protect the captive from his imminent fate.  

"There's no need for any more bloodshed here, Derlyn.  I'm sure this helpless, simple lizardfolk wouldn't want to spend eternity trapped in the servitude of demonic darkness, forever flayed by the tips of a million whips."

He turns to the bound lizardman.  "Would you?  There must be some way to spare you this...torturous fate.  Perhaps if you told us what you are doing here and where the kobold spawn are we could avoid any further unpleasantness."

Gaston flashes a smile to the captive in order to persuade him to talk.  "What do you say?"

*not sure how you usually run these scenarios.  Do we roll what skill we intend on using here?  i.e. you might rule this to be deception or persuasion.

Rip, still in wolf form, tears a leg from the body of a fallen lizard man. He pads over to where the prisoners are bound and casually lays down with a low growl, severed limb in his jaws. With his gaze fixed deliberately on the captees, he begins to loudly tear the sinew and muscle from the bone.

MAS wrote: you have the same amount of time and actions as you would have for a single combat round right now.

All players may declare their single round's worth of action at this time. [/size]

If the instructions were unclear - you have the exact same movement and action options that you have during combat. Hence the request for declarations in the same format. This means I need locations for your movement, and you can do a limited amount of things in the 6-second time frame.

Seth: Ties up the surrendered Izzy skirmisher at Q-22.

Ulric: You have the same amount of movement that you have during a combat round to start towards helping to tie up prisoners, where do you end your move?

Derlyn: Casts thaumaturgy underneath the captured Izzy at Q-22. Cannot make Intimidation check in this "round". If he is moving, he needs to state an ending location.

Gaston: Need a square where you are ending your movement.

Anchor: Collapses in place. Conditions "exhausted" and "prone".

Rip: Needs to state ending location of movement. Calculate your path to pick up the limb you are chewing on.
BTW - I messed up allowing you to cast "Entangle" twice. The spell requires "concentration". You cannot have 2 spells requiring concentration active at once.

C o n c e n t r a t io n
Some spells require you to maintain concentration
in order to keep their m agic active. If you lose
concentration, such a spell ends.
If a spell must be maintained with concentration,
that fact appears in its Duration entry, and the spell
specifies how long you can concentrate on it. You can
end concentration at any time (no action required).

• Casting another spell that requires concentration.
You lose concentration on a spell if you cast another
spell that requires concentration. You can’t concentrate
on two spells at once.
• Taking damage. Whenever you take damage while
you are concentrating on a spell, you must make a
Constitution saving throw to maintain your concentration.
The DC equals 10 or half the damage you take,
whichever number is higher. If you take damage from
multiple sources, such as an arrow and a dragon’s
breath, you make a separate saving throw for each
source o f damage.
• Being incapacitated or killed. You lose concentration
on a spell if you are incapacitated or if you die.

The DM might also decide that certain environmental
phenomena, such as a wave crashing over you while
you’re on a storm-tossed ship, require you to succeed
on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw to maintain
concentration on a spell.

To correct the concentration error, drop entangle centered at O-28. It was mostly ineffective anyway. Maintain concentration on entangle centered at #-34

Rip advances in wolf form to dead Izzy at R-23 and removes leg to begin gnawing in front of captured Izzy at Q-22

Derlyn will end at V-20

Ulric will stop at V-24

Apologies, Matt.

Gaston end his turn at R-22, next to the captive

No problem guys, communication hiccups happen.

Mike - in the interest of not having to retcon the entire encounter, we'll let the spells both stand, and state they are both expired as per the end that combat.

---

NOTE: Anyone who does not know the DRACONIC language is unable to communicate with the Izzy. The Heeka Kobolds speak common, poorly.

The surrendered/captured Izzy collapses in terror as he is bound and then surrounded. The earth quivers under him as the sentient wolf chews on his comrade while making eye contact. it is just too much. He begins to babble rapidly in Draconic -

"Mercy! God-lizard demands your hearts, we must do."

His eyes dart around the camp, seeming to scan the dense foliage...  

The Heeka Kobold who is suddenly free from magical entanglement (M-26) begins to jump up and down in a rage.

"They capture our young, threat of death in our own warrens. Who knows if they live now!"
