Aanbo takes position by the secret door entrance, ready to cut off any escape route (or assist his companions in escaping).

Round two
(this was preceded by round one)
Chase defers his turn until after Myrtha, as he holds the door shut and waits to see what happens when she opens the other door. Myrtha throws the door open and can't see much inside the dark room, though she hears some scuffling. It's strange that the door wasn't locked - whoever was inside must have really been in a hurry to do something else. She tenses, expecting an attack. Chase, meanwhile, hears "Just you wait until we get this door open - we're gonna kill you!" from the people slamming on the door he's holding shut, as well as a bunch of clomping boots and banging. It occurs to him to wonder about the floorplan that Theran told him about...
For his part, Theran slams the bed and scrambles across it. He immediately sees what Myrtha was hearing: the feet of someone in the fireplace, shimmying up the chimney! Aanbo waits in the dark wings like a coiled spring.
16 - Myrtha (6/12)
22 - Chase (8/11)
15 - Theran (13/13)
15 - Aanbo (16/19)
13 - Others
1 - Derek

OOC:
Theran can take an action and move up to 20' more, as well as communicate with the others what he sees so that they can take informed actions on their turns. Chase can hold the door as an action, or he can move and do something else. Myrtha has her move, and has an action. Aanbo too has a move and action.16 - Myrtha (6/12)
22 - Chase (8/11)
15 - Theran (13/13)

"HE'S ESCAPING UP THE CHIMNEY!!"
When Therans sees Derek trying to affect an escape, he charges after.

OOC:
I suspect clearing the bed was the action for the turn, but even if Theran can't jam his staff up the torturer's backside can he get close enough that Derek continuing to leave would provoke an attack of opportunity?

Chase knowing that his spear will not break will move to the hinged side of the door to hold it. That is the only way they will get through. He will hold his ground and watch his teams back. Hearing Theran's voice coming from the room Myrtha entered he will say "I will stay out here and watch your backs."

I said Theran has 20' of movement and can take an action, so you can move right there and try to attack. I guess it's not showing up very clearly on the map, but Derek is that bluish blob on the map that is half through the southwest wall. Declare what you're going to do (what, whack his legs?) and make the roll.Dec 22, 2024 12:27 am

That's fair, I was just trying to picture how that would play out and was having difficulty wrapping my head around it as a single action, but I'm likely just overthinking it. Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last I'm sure.
OOC:
I'm not sure what a polite phrasing would be, but I'm reminded of an episode of Scrubs where the Janitor "popscicled" someone. *ahem* Rolls
Attack (Staff - Shillelagh) - (1d20+5)

Damage (Bludgeoning, Magic) - (1d8+3)

"Good form," murmurs Aanbo as he watches Theran attempt to deadlift a grown man with a stick. It's a shame they didn't have time to affix the poison-tipped needle found in Pae's temple a while back, but neither did Aanbo expect their opponent to be scurrying up a chimney.
The monk enters the room and inspects the stone above the fireplace to see if there's a potential weak point that might prove vulnerable to a well-placed strike.

I know Stonecunning relates to the history of masonry, so I'm wondering if it can also apply to the source of construction and how well it was made.[ +- ] Stonecunning
Whenever you make an Intelligence (History) check related to the origin of stonework, you are considered proficient in the History skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.

"You’re not going anywhere, Derek!" Myrtha cried out as she tried to figure out her next steps.
OOC:
If it is physically possible for Myrtha to grapple Derek, grab his legs and push him down, she would do that. If that is not possible Myrtha would like to throw both her flasks of oil into the chimney and light it, not so much to hurt Derek with the flames, but to make the chimney impossible to scale because of the heat and smoke…Dec 23, 2024 6:23 am
Myrtha approached the fireplace to see what she could do.
OOC:
Yes, I did realize that. The description said Derek was "shimmying up" the fireplace, which didn’t give me a clear picture of the level at which his legs were. As long as Theran is just under Derek, neither courses of action are possible this round. On top of that the second plan is moot given that, after checking her inventory, I realise Myrtha does not have oil (a case of mixing up characters from different games). And in any case, it would take more than one round to set the fuel in the fireplace and light it… Last edited December 23, 2024 6:25 am
