Chapter 2: The Gorgon Queen's Lair

@Basil 2 quick questions. 1: If you speed really is 70, you can make it to the double doors and I think still have 10 feet left. How far are you wanting to actually go? 2: You say you are not looking at Hythonia as you run away, but after you move some, are you averting your gaze? Since she was within 30 feet of you at the start of your turn, if you don't avert your gaze by the end of your turn, if she does chase you the moment she is 30 feet away you would need to make the save.

@GreyWord,@valdattaMadun,@annex you are all up. Initiative doesn't matter too much right now unless someone is going to attack soon. Hythonia seems to assume Chironides is running with his tail between his leg, and she assumes everyone else is dead.

She hit, hence the green check box next to the roll. Rolling if she hit the real you.

From your current location, you would have advantage as you are an unseen attacker, though she would have 3/4 cover as she is about 40 feet above you and thus a lot of the platform blocks her body.

If you wanted to remove the cover, you'd have to get up on the platform. Her passive perception is 19, and a stealth check would be needed to approach unseen. Getting up the wall is a DC 20 athletics check, and she'd hear the splash if you fell back in. If Chironides is not fighting anymore, we can exit combat and you can take the time needed to swim south to the platform to easily get out.

Is the goal to get her to chase you or to get away and catch your breath? Plus, he's poisoned and only has a +6 to hit so he'd need to roll a 19 or 20 on both dice with disadvantage to hit. She is still aware of you, so no advantage as you are not unseen.

So much for a swift death, Omeros thought, as he swam south to where he could easily leave the filthy water.

So you plan to stand in the doorway and take pot shots? if so, she'll take 3 legendary actions to get right in your face. She's assuming you ran to the hallways. If you aren't doing that, she's going to try and finish you off, not turn her back.

If you are in the water, she has 3/4 cover due to the angle making the platform cover so much of her. If you want to climb up, you will need to take the dash action as the wall is at least 20 feet high and you spend 2 feet per 1 foot you climb if you don't have a climb speed. You could climb (DC 20 athletics) and then hide behind a pillar (DC 19 Stealth). As for advantage, i'll give you advantage on 1 stealth check if combat has ended, as she will assume she has won. If she is still being attacked, she will be on edge and thus no advantage as she is still looking around her for threats.

Go ahead and make your attacks. No advantage. She still has her eye on you. She spent her turn walking back to the person you were here to save. You'll find out what she does if you do. If you want to let her get distracted, you may want to wait a while so she thinks she is right about you. you have 10 minutes before the king's daughter is transformed.
