Chapter 2

OOC:
It was indeed tricky for me to understand who is moving and who is not. Fact are those:
1. Because of Sharagwyn poor initiative roll she technically start moving after enemy, while other PCs move before them
2. Jim did not announce moving
3. @Tasrek you instructed me that you would like to remain in the front line, but frontline with Shara nad Jim is still there
4. @Dramasailor also instructed me "staying with Shara and Ha'aroo."
I had to decide between A. Everyone but Shara and Jim backs up, leaving them or B. pacan and Ha'aroo stay to protect Shara who were too slow to react and Jim who decided not to back up. I feel that I did the right decision, I'm sorry if I did not.

P.S. We still play encounter RAW: every creature do their turn in initiative order. I only ask you to describe your turn before waiting for other PCs even if their initiative is before yours. And I am accepting conditional instructions like "my PC moves if X happened by my PC turn in initiative order.
This battle encounter is actually designed to demonstrate how this is going to work in future, so I'm thankful for you to ask questions and share confusion if any.

The moving before was to not start a combat with the apes. The situation here is different. Appears combat is going to happen no matter what and there no way to get the mules out safely rather than defending them. This most likely explains why Jim hasn't started backing up with his mule.

That and his hands are a bit busy to be leading a mule. He somehow expects the mule to be fine till the monsters are upon Jim. At that point he is fairly sure the mule will probably bolt and he isn't about to get dragged. (Nebula examples.) Better to just have to hunt it down.

Jim is actively considering the situation and is brave enough to stand for the attack. He recalls upon his clerical training to give him the best of the situation. (Cast faerie fire for advantage.) Perhaps him holding here will give the others chances. He is deliberating leaving himself in the lead for first hits.

Rather Jim is preparing to cast a Faerie Fire upon the monsters when in range 60'. DEX Save DC(12). Concentration.

Nebula makes room for Ha'aroo's mule as she guides her own back further, leading it with one hand while the other reaches for her crossbow flings a quick spell, though with all the movement it's hard to get a clear shot.
OOC:
my bad, I got light crossbow and hand crossbow mixed up. I don't have two hands free

Jim isn't holding the mule. It is standing next to him. He has longsword and shield in hands. Reserve action to cast Faerie fire on the Allosaurs when within 60'.

Oh cool, I think most logical would be for Jim's mule to follow the crowd and stay with other two mules
OOC:
Will update accordingly. Any other updates?
Jun 3, 2022 10:22 am
Yeah. Having the mule take off and follow the others is cool. Jim was thinking to step 5' further away to give some distance, but now he doesn't have to do that with the mule moving off.

Everyone but Jim backing so does mule released by Jim.
Ha'aroo shoot arrow jumps off the dinosaur though skin.
Jim stand still waiting for inevitable predator attack.

Jim is awaiting the Allosaurs to close within 60' so he can cast faerie fire upon them. He will have his longsword and shield available when they close on him and doesn't move.

Nebula noticed her spell fizzled out as it flew towards the dinosaur, she continues to back away, but keeps an eye on the dinosaurs distance, ready to cast at it should it come withing range.

Ha'aroo sees some of the others are not backing up walks forward 20 ft so that he is 10 feet behind Jim. "Ill take the right one" pointing at the opposite one that Nebula attacked and casts Suggestion for when the one that hasnt been attacked to come in range.

Pacan keeps moving along with Ha'aroo, just until the dinosaurs get within her range. Gripping the sprig of holly she doesn't let out of her sight, she raises her hand into the air and speaks in the smooth flowing language of the druids, swirls of power coalescing in the air. With a bright burst, a silvery column of light slams into the nearest allosaur.

Allosaurus

Both Allosaurus use dash to double movement keep dashing your way. They are dumb enough to both run through the moonbeam
OOC:
Moonbeam require enemy to be inside it at start of turn, so casting it as reaction would not always work, but I assume you cast it between you and them so they run into
Nebula and Shara fire at Allosaurus1, but it does not stop him from reaching Jim this turn.

LOL. I miss read. The allosaurs took 40 total and not Jim.

OOC:
@GeneCortess I hope you don't mind I deleted your post based on miss read enemy turn. You could submit proper turn instead
Everyone: just a warning that since it is Tuesday I am going to implement rule about 20 hours time from last DM story post. You only have about 4.5 more hours to post and I don't see single player posted. I am worried.

Seeing the allosaurs catching up with Jim and beginning to snap, Nebula calls out some cautious encouragement and some arcane words. She flings a ball of swirling miasmic energy at the injured beast, but it's hard to run back and aim at the same time.

To her surprise though, it seems the magic didn't fully exhaust and she has another opportunity to strike, and she does, hitting the second beast with a hefty force strike
