Make each move an individual thread, please. --The DM (talk) 20:16, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Waiting on Embla. --The DM (talk) 21:29, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

I move cautiously to 0705 (2 AP), and swing my maul at the ice frog (2 AP): attack roll of 11, hitting AC 6, or AC 5 if the toad's Intelligence is below 5 due to my "Aggressive" trait. --Engelhart (talk) 20:41, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

The creature's intelligence is low enough, but the attack yet misses.--The DM (talk) 21:29, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

I'll draw my sword (1 AP) and attempt to enter combat. I have to succeed on a morale check: I roll a 5 (my WIS is 11). I'll move into 0806 (1 AP) and attack the grey creature (2 AP): 15+2=17 to hit, 1+1=2 damage –Vafrandir 20:43, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Vafrandir's check isn't really a morale check; it is characteristic of his background, in which he has learned to be cautious before rushing into fights. The fighter scores a clean hit ... but it so happens the creature is immune to normal weapons and can't be hit by Vafrandir's short sword.

Because of the earlier time spent withdrawing, Vafrandir has his shield in place.--The DM (talk) 21:29, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

I draw my battle axe and step into 0906 warily for 1 AP. --Pandred (talk) 21:02, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

For information, there is space between the bars to allow a swing, Pandred, though you would risk getting your axe caught in the bars. --The DM (talk) 21:29, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Noted, but my AP limits me to drawing regardless. I want to leave space for the door to open so Embla has room and I can strike without issue.--21:39, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
