Searching for Shinies I

[neoseph7]

After traversing the ruined woods for 3 days, the party finally comes upon the location of the long forgotten castle, and an encounter.

Roll for initiative.

Three spiders beset the party, two of which are as big as a person, and the other about twice as large.

Yay! I got to keep five of you. Amazing. The battle looks like this:


In the near future we shall discuss marching order, but for the time being, this is the battle map (each square is 5ft wide). You can be in spaces occupied by trees, they grant you partial cover. Both shrubbery and trees impede your movement by 5' (so it costs 10' to move through rather than 5').

Spider initiative: (1d20+3)[8]


Edit:
The order of combat is
Jack, Edgard, Deven, Godrick, the Spiders, Ector.

Btw, this fight should be level appropriate, but getting CRs right is difficult with (1) Gestalt and (2) Pbp since someone who stops posting isn't in the game (as an example, if there were seven of you rather than 5 this would be an easy fight). At the moment, since you guys have initiative, as long as you don't roll low, this should be a normal fight. All the same if I have to DM the fight so you don't die, I know how much that doesn't feel like fun but, again, it is because getting the CRs right can be difficult.

The grey cracks are indeed a wall, but you can still attack before your move with no penalty for firing into a melee nor soft cover. However, since you rolled a natural 2,it doesn't really matter.

Edgard yelled a monstrous roar before heading for the largest looking spider. Undaunted by the uneven terrain, he marches onward to battle. He looked at the monster straight in any of those hellish eyes, and swung his blade full force.

Edgard and Godrick step up and bring the hurt to the largest spider. In spite of their best efforts, the dumb thing is still standing.

The largest spider will retaliate against Edgard, along with her northern partner. The southern spider will move up to attack Godrick.

I should have said this sooner. You can post before it is your turn. Do not wait for others to go. Sometime tomorrow I will be posting the spiders next turn. Until then, Ector, followed by the rest of the party need to post their actions if they don't want to take full defense actions. I will sort out later who does what when, and will likely fudge some of your actions to make up for time. (so your action may also include a move to flank that you didn't know was possible until someone else moved). I will never modify your actions in a way that would be harmful, and likewise will give you the benefit of the doubt ifyou post an action that doesn't make sense (under the assumption I did a bad job of explaining the situation, and the player should never be punished for such).

Is it a new round?

[neoseph7]

Technically no. But you can still post your next actions. Whatever Ector is doing will probably not affect your character.

Edgard yelled something incoherent before attacking the spider that hit him. He did so with a smile on his face that looked more of madness than happy.

Round 2 has officially begun.

Jack and Edgard have already gone. Deven and Godrick still get to take their actions. Then the spiders (which I will post sometime after I wake up tomorrow/later today). The large spider btw looks to be on its last legs (no pun intended).

Edit: The attack still hits either way, but I am taking into account firing into a melee. It would be useful if I knew whether or not Jack had precise shot (actually, his sheet is linked, so were good for him). To that note, could you each link your character sheets in your sigs please?
