I believe sneak attack isn't really about sneaking - it is about attacking someone that is already engaged and thus distracted. Dane charges this turn. Go ahead and post ahead - not sue when I will post. Busy weekend.

hmmm, guess I'm used to the real life game I'm playing where a sneak attack...is exactly that, a sneak attack.

The Player;s Handbook description is pretty vague as to what precisely is sneaky about it, or what it entails besides "Exploiting a foe's distraction." why not a higher to hit instead of extra damage, my brain asks.

Seems odd is all. I kind of thought of it as a backstab or something.

I guess we're skipping Dane and Pavel is up. I'm guessing you want to attack with your sword Padre, but you can roll for it if you like.

Sorry for the delay - crazy busy weekend. I thought I had said something like - he'll charge, just go on. But whatever, the charge has been posted! Have no fear! Dane is here!

Or something like that.

You didn't need to post, I was just expecting Padre to post something, but I realized that he might have thought that second roll from last time still applied.

I believe in letting people do their own attack rolls, unless they don't care.

So the new elf is beside Pavel, with three goblins in front of us... With Dane off to one side (looping behind the goblins I presume)?

I picture Pavel west of the goblins, and the new elf started out behind them, to the east of them.

Dane is also to the west, running across the stream to get into the action.

who seems female, basically snuck up behind'em.

Are we still a go?

So.

Also: In 5e, the rules on critical hits are: You hit regardless of any modifiers or the the enemy's AC, and you get to roll all your attack dice twice, and any other modifiers still apply.

In this case only, for expediency, I'll just say your 20 killed one of the goblins.

I don't mind roleplaying a bit as the female elf if that's how ya'll wanna do it. If you'd rather just get on with things though, we can just summarize the interaction somehow.

But she has a scar around her face and around her mouth. Not necessarily important but there it is.

Nomad, I'll leave the next move to you.

I'm good to role play, or not... it is up to you.

We can do a bit with the roll-playing, but probably don't need to spend a lot of time on it. We could probably just include such information in the posts as we move into the cave.

For the GM: How badly hurt is she? Does she seem to have any healing ability for herself? Is she doing anything about it?

Padre: I'd assume the same sort of marching order again going into the cave that we had coming here. that puts you up front and me behind. Where should the lovely scarred ranger go? Also, Dane is a human and needs light. Who carries torches?

I'll have my next post up shortly.

Pavel has torches, Dane doesn't because he has the burglar's pack. But he does have candles.

The wound hasn't been flowing freely, but a bit of her arm is covered in blood. She's taking it like a badass though and doesn't seem to notice it.
