"Dammit!"
Cirion stumbles under the sudden rain of rocks, several connecting painfully on his body and head!
He clenches his teeth and readies the short bow: he takes aim at the more visible of the hurling foes!
He lets an arrow fly, despite the distance, in the hope it acts as a deterrent to further projectiles.

I forget what experience you guys do or do not have with D&D, but be sure to remember your various class abilities, and if you have any questions as to how you might be able to leverage them, feel free to ask.Feb 5, 2025 8:43 am
OOC:
I'm afraid Cirion is puppeteered by a total D&D beginner! He has this ability:
Cunning Action
You can take a bonus [Dash, Disengage or Hide] action on each of your turns in combat.
so could he Dash, after the arrow he fired?
Feb 5, 2025 2:59 pm
OOC:
Yes he could! :)And it will get him at least part way there.
Because we're "theatre of the mind" here, it would still require him a full round of movement to melee, BUT the Dash will allow him to make ranged attacks without Disadvantage next round if that's what he wants to do.

Eothain rushes in as close as he can to the nearest attacker. "Surrender or die!"
Tis half damage from the rocky start of this combat.

Though the angle is bad and the figures are hiding, Duinhir fires an arrow at one of them. If for nothing else giving his friends a bit of covering fire in their dash towards the enemies.

Full damage to Cirion, half to Eothain from the rocks then.OOC:
Looks like both attacks on Eothain missed miserably đŸ˜…Eothain can melee either target freely this round.
If Cirion wants to attack the same target as Eothain, he will have Advantage to the attack as the target is threatened by his ally.
But he would also have essentially a -5 to the attack as Eothain constitutes 3/4 Cover for the target. And a Critical miss will hit Eothain.
Though he would apply his Sneak Attack damage bonus if he hits.
Duinhir I believe is still down below and will continue to have Disadvantage to ranged attacks, or must spend this round moving for better position or to be able to melee next round.
You all can go ahead and take your next turns!

Cirion sees the Rider charging, and changes target to the other foe, not trusting his archery enough to risk it.
"You will pay for your treachery!" he bellows.
He readies the short bow and fires again at the other target, then rushes closer still to the hilltop, wary of further rockfall.

The position is too bad for another shot, Duinhir realizes, and Eothain is alone in close combat with the enemies, so Duinhir rushes to aid him.

Cirion, of you continue to take attack, the same options still apply for you, as discussed above RE: advantage/Sneak Attack/Crit miss, but now will also apply to whomever Duinhir attacks if he goes into melee.

Cirion sees the battle has now shifted to a deadly melee, the flash of scimitars and sharp spears glinting through the dust of the skirmish!
He replaces the useless short bow with the broadsword and closes in, running up the hill.

Cirion lands a well placed blow as the other two attacks of his allies miss!
The two travelers exchange glances with each other, their eyes wild with the heat of combat as you all press in upon them.
The man with sword shouts into Duinhir's face as he attacks, "You have unlawfully engaged a member of the Royal Family of Umbar! You have initiated an act of WAR!!"
Meanwhile the man with the long spear just presses his attack with the grim focus and determination of a master with his weapon.
The man with the spear is using a Great Weapon Mastery ability, which gives him advantage against foes of the same size or smaller.
You all can go ahead and take all of your turns!
