Yikes kray is in trouble.

How far is Kray from the group now?

40' from his original position in the defensive circle.
So he is at least that far away from everyone, likely another 5' or 10' because no one was standing right on top of him.

I intend to send Ivor after Kray in Round 4. Problem is, he doesn't have a slashing weapon to cut the net with, so will have to take the Help action to grant Kray advantage on his DEX escape attempt.

I'm going to try and dash swim there.

Yeah it's gonna take a Dash from Ivor too. Ivor's swim rate is 20ft. I don't know if that'll be enough to catch up and get something done with Action Surge.

No, please go on. 👼👿

A simple move should put you in visual range for a javelin. A dash should get you into melee range and allow an OA if they move away again. If you have an action surge, Kray would appreciate it.

O god.
Ox's character Dash swimming out to save someone.

He's got a short sword and a knife. Both of those have sharp edges to be sure. Perhaps their primary damage is piercing, in the stats, but I just don't see how a guy with a short sword and knife can't cut net, rope, etc. In simplest terms, the short sword isn't a cone shaped puncturing device, it's a blade, like the dagger.

EDIT: Also, maybe I missed it, but I believe Kray is grappled, not in a net.

Y'all, no net involved in I Kray's capture.
Just wrestling.
Discontinue discussions about nets.

By "he" I meant Ivor. The net discussion is my fault. I keep forgetting it's a grapple.

I CANT HELP IT! Every mmo and rpg I've ever played I'm usually a support character Bryn needs Kray to live so he can pickpocket him at some point!

Lemme get this straight: Kray is no longer grappled (broke free TR3 after being dragged 40'). Kray is isolated and triple-teamed. He is still grappled after the tie on the grapple rolls at TR3. He's forced a miss on the attack against the krekutil but they'll probably try again.

Let's map it out like this:
At TR4, Kray is 45' from Ivor and Thorn. He is 50' from Maeriks and Bryn.
An increasing problem is that from this distance he is very close to being invisible (because of distance and visibility limits, not a spell).
He does have the light, so that can still be seen, but dimly, and his shadowy form within its light.
Rutcranna's pink light is between Kray and the rest of the party. She is 15' back from Kray at the moment.

45' from Ivor, so Ivor can almost catch up and attempt to net DO3, but can't melee it, correct?

If Ivor goes for Kray he'll provoke OA from DO7 and possibly DO9, correct? And then to get at DO3 he'll have to get past DO4 who is on rear guard, right? If he just ignores DO4 and goes straight for DO3 is that another OA?

Hmm. Let me think/talk that through.

40' would be a normal Movement (20') plus Dash as Action (20'). That would mean no way to do an Attack, net or anything else.

On the way, that would give OA to DO7. OA for DO9? Possibly if we really had a film of the water layout, but I'm going to say no. He's focusing on Maeriks, plus I kind of picture that Ivor relocated just enough when he drove out to get the net last round.

At this exact moment, Rutcranna is slightly offset from the Deep Ones and Kray. She would end up being right there near Ivor if he swam forward. She would either be right there beside him, or she may be back away by 5'.

At the end of 40' Movement, Ivor would be face to face against DO2, the spear guy who is stabbing at Kray and serving as rear guard as they move back. So that means DO2 would provoke OA (by Ivor against him) during BR4 if he (DO2) moved .

DO3 and DO4 would be on beyond that by 5 - 10', wrapped right up in close proximity to Kray in grappling and an attempt to damage the krekutil.

Was thinking 40' swim dash, then Action Surge for the retiarius combo to halt them. 15' range on thw net so doable I think. But maybe not the trident. Can he net DO3 and trident DO2?

Ahh. Action Surge.
So that would give a Trident Attack as normal Action at DO2.
And then Net is a Bonus Action, correct?
As I think of the spacing as it is now, DO3 is wrapped up grappled with Kray. Kind of picturing DO3 being behind Kray, with DO4 lurching over Kray (to Ivor's side). So I may have to say that the net target would have to be DO4. That seems believable while a DO3 net capture doesn't quite seem so.
So if Net toss is a Bonus Action, then yeah. As super-hero as that sounds, I guess it all works out.

Damn, I was hoping to net DO3 and halt these fuckers.

As per Retiarius feat, net is the action and trident is the bonus, and only granted if the net hits. So thinking about it now it seems like the intent is that the netted creature MUST be the target of the trident attack. If that's the case then I guess I'm throwing everything at DO2.
