2nd rd is up! post away Rat!!

How could he have missed with that sling, he wonders?

Actually the blurring is because he is having a hard time figuring out who is where and what is left and in what condition ..... we need a reckoning summary real bad (or a beer!)(Anvil already grabbed the Yellowstone and poured it on his wounded leg! Damned dwarves - gotta hold their hand for everything .......)

SD - nice battle description, except the part about Anvil getting stabbed in the leg. That was rather poorly written! In the description you never said, "Anvil swung and missed." As I try to make sure I know what is happening - did you just not bother with that or was there something in the orcs role - like a natural 20 - that meant Anvil was knocked down and thus didn't get to swing? Just curious.

What will Anvil do? Well - it seems there is a stunned Orc right next to him - I'm guessing he would try to hack at that orc next turn. Can he do that and get up? Does he need to get up first? How badly stunned is he? If he is knocked out Anvil would go after those who are still a threat.

It might help if you listed all of the orcs left in back of the wagons with their locations.

Anvil's rolls if needed:
1d6 = 4 (Init)
1d20 = 13 (to hit)
1d8 = 6 (Damage)

1d6 = 2
1d20 = 14
1d8 = 5

Ok. So I am knocked to the front part of the wagon?

Is the orc who did this in the back part of the wagon?

Are we both a bit groggy from the collision?

Did the orc take any damage from the collision?

1d6 = 1

1d20 = 16

1d8 = 7

d6 = 4
d20 = 14
d6 = 4

o.k. guys this is what it currently looks like. in the wagon we have T'sal on her back at the front with 2 orcs at the back all three are trying to get up(all 3 a little dazed). we have rat underneath the wagon with 2 wounded orcs on the groundat the back end of the wagon. Anvil is laying perpendicular to the wounded orcs(yes orc had big roll and your position also made you not have a target to swing at, you will need to get up) about 8 ft. in front of Anvil a woodsman is engaged with another orc beside them sprinkles and another orc are fighting with muffin closing. Higutulli is wrenching his axe out of a dead orc on the other side of the 2 orcs on the ground at the wagon. Behind him Trillian and another woodsman are trying to untangle themselves and get up of the ground. The command orc is still in his same position.

Thanks for giving me your rolls now please state your intended actions.

I need a DM rules clarification before I can post my action:

If I cast SLEEP, does it only affect the monsters or will it affect my comrades too?

I ask because the spell description in the PHB says (and I quote):

The spell affects 2d4 Hit Dice of monsters.

I'm not trying to be a rules lawyer, but I don't want to cast it if I'm going to screw the party over. I would assume (yes, dangerous I know) that I would know the effects/limitations of the spell as a wizard, but its a total DM call.

Well, I guess it is obvious, but Anvil decides that this would be a good time to be verticle and stands up.

If he can do so, he will also take a hack at an orc - who/whatever is closest - presumably one of the on-the-ground and hurt orcs.

that he could quickly sling one of the orcs "down" at the back of the wagon.

the concern on the top of the wagon for T'sal with three orcs up there, might be a priority, though?

Thoughts?

Anvil, your stated actions, of course, makes perfect sense.

that there are only 2 orcs in the back of the wagon Rat. The 3 is including myself. I agree that I might need some help here being down to 3 hps? and having an easy to hit roll.

I might be inclined to jump our of wagon, keeping it between me and the head orc.

I think jumping the wagon is a good idea. Normally Anvil's top priority would be to protect spell casters and such, but at the moment getting up seems to be what he can accomplish. Also, if they are in the wagon I'm not sure a dwarf is the best one for the job, even a big dwarf.
