Cephalopod Skirmish - Round 1
Jacky successfully executes his fighting retreat. The cephalopod initially moves to follow the halfling, but halts its advance as Jacky retreats to the apparent safety of the doorway (Jacky is now out of melee).
Grim flails harmlessly with his less-than-trusty hammer.
No. Because the cephalopod is floating above Grim, Ella can get a clear shot at no risk of hitting the dwarf.
One of Ella’s arrows rips straight through the cephalopod above Grim’s head, tearing its thin translucent body, but not bringing it down.
Awaiting confirmation of Thrud’s and Zach’s Round 1 actions.

Zach lets loose a vociferous, if inarticulate, war cry and lets loose a mighty slash with his bastard sword—one which would clearly overbalance an untrained fighter, but not Zacharias Polipulis. If there is one thing Zacharias knows, it is the use of the glorious gladius bastardus!

Thrudmarr hesitates for a moment upon hearing Ella's shouted directive to fall back. But as he watches the creatures strike repeatedly at Jacky and Grim, and Grim standing firm against them, his face contorts in rage and he rushes forward with a guttural roar.
"HRRRAAAAAGHH!!!!!!"
His boots pound against the stone floor as he barrels towards the creature hovering above Grim, axe held high.

Question - I might have asked this before but can't recall, am I able to drop the lantern at the entrance without it going out and pull out my shield before charging out? I suspect drawing my shield constitutes a 'combat action' but I couldn't find it in the book.OOC:
That hits a -7 AC. And max damage! Let's hope these things are fragile, otherwise we could be in trouble.Last edited February 3, 2025 2:17 pm

Cephalopod Skirmish - Round 1
@Thrud - it’s OK to place the lantern on the floor and switch to your shield before charging - a combat round in OSRIC is a minute long, so I’m not going to get fussy about reasonable minor actions.
Without a thought for their own safety, Zach and Thrud charge to the aid of the beleaguered Grim. Zach’s attack is wild and misses its mark. But Thrud’s axe rips through the already perforated cephalopod above the dwarf and it falls harmlessly to the ground.
That concludes the round. As one of the cephalopods has been killed, I’ll make a morale check to see if they will continue to attack you.

That's a fail for the cephalopod's morale check. You may continue the combat into Round 2 if you wish, but it will be the cephalopod's intention to flee.

Having just cleaved through one of the floating horrors, Thrudmarr sees the creatures beginning to flee. His blood still up from the successful kill, he whirls toward any within reach of his axe.

Edit: Hit AC -6. Do I get my 2nd attack this round if it's still up?

Ella is encourages by the felling of the first floating monstrosity, and continues to launch arrows at the fleeing creatures.
I believe those in melee get one attack when the enemy leaves, and their ordinar attack routine when it’s their round. So Thrud and Zach might get three attacks and grim 2…

Cephalopod Skirmish - Round 1
OK, let’s try to bring some order to the general chaos!
We are still in Round 1. As it’s clear that you plan to press the attack, let’s continue to work through things in the proper sequence. Here’s a view of the current situation (I’ve removed the already dead cephalopod that was above Grim) …
In OSRIC, combatants within 10’ of each other are considered to be within melee range. So, for their second attacks in Round 1, Thrud can reach the one in front of him (that attacked Jacky previously) and Zach can engage the closest one to him in the group of four.
Both of the follow-up attacks find their mark, tearing through the creatures’ thin, translucent bodies. But neither are killed outright and they continue to float, albeit somewhat erratically.
That concludes the round. Please can someone roll initiative for Round 2 and we’ll pick things up from there.

OK, so you win initiative for Round 2. This means that those in melee range will be able to attack twice this round ... once on your initiative and a second bonus attack at +4 on the cephalopod's initiative.
