All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare final purchases, if any

[Chess435]

Wow, it's been forever. I'm gonna have to refresh my memory.

Anyways, initiative - (1d20+3)[20]

It's kinda funny how similar the base stats of our characters are.

No purchases yet, but reserve the right to reactionaries.

This will start in N24
Speede is in M22/N23

[Chess435]

Sorry, totally spaced about this. Will have post up in a sec.

Move directly above Speede or this if it gains LoE to either.

Pretty sure that's everyone.

[jvluso]

What do you say to your air elemental to get it to ready the action?

this - round 1

assuming everything is legal, and doesn't trigger the ready, other than ending turn:

standard: use levitate SLA
move: command speede to attack the wolf(d20+2)[9]DC10


If handle animal succeeds, speede moves to X14/Y15
turn done.

[Chess435]

I thought I didn't need to, as it has an Int > 2.

[jvluso]

You don't make handle animal checks to control the air elemental because it can speak aurian, so you can give it detailed commands. However, This also speaks aurian and can understand every command you give it, including being able to understand what action you tell it to ready.

[Chess435]

In that case, the command would have been: "Move over there, and fly above one of them if the glass isn't between you and them. If they don't come, move over them and attack." Either way, you didn't trigger the readied action. Would you like to revise your move?

[jvluso]

I'll leave my actions as is; not moving was not intentional, and the die is cast.
