"Uh huh, yeah," Vir says. "And some call it the plot. You say tomato, I say potato. What's your point?"

She smiles smugly as she just won the argument. She looks over at the unicorn.

She curtsies and bows at the same time.

"Thank you kind, sir. May the blessings of Princess Celestia be upon thee."

She turns to follow the directions she has been given.

I'd be happy with opening fire now, but if we successfully bait them wouldn't we get a flanking bonus? If so then let's do it.

Vir continues down the road quite a ways, presumably not stopping until she reaches the Grand Baltimare Hotel (description to come)

Posey wants everyone to use the surprise round to shoot at the giant to try to kill it or reduce it to almost die

They have no dex bonus as it is, perhaps even flanking

Uh, he'd have to move to the left past the ruined house on the left, and jumping over another wall. It's completely doable, but he'd have to circle around behind a ruined house.

>>184971
No, you opnly get the single attack in a surprise round. After that, initiative is rolled, and the fight begins in earnest.

Think about it. The idea of a surprise round is that the enemy doesn't know you're there. But in the two to three seconds it takes to draw another bow or to cycle a bolt, that's enough time for an enemy to flinch and maybe assume a more defensive posture.

I guess that means no crit for Silver then.

Also, initiative

Dust just stole his only real angle of attack though that would have him unnoticed. It would have been really good though.

He did post his character sheet and give us permission to use his modifiers. Let's just have him attack at range while flying, so he won't die.
He has improved feint, so he can spend move actions to sneak attack targets that can see him.

Nah, I think we need to wait for him for combat. If it was something like some skill checks I wouldn't feel bad, but I don't think it's fair to do an entire combat without him when he seems to love combat so much.

Mala would also be told before the attack that they're going to try to take out any possessed ponies non-lethally. The demons are fair game, though.

As a non actionable example, what I would have said is:
"Brie's primary focus will be on getting 5d6 damage on the surprise round with his pistol on either Starmie or the giant, and then eliminating through stab or compromising through grapple whoever is left, especially anyone using a more-than-light weapon."

Im ranting in here so I dont derail/fuck up elsewhere. But like, of all the things to have an unresponsive character who was JUST setting up for a strategic attack,...

You had him stand there with his jaw open?

I had him fly to within 30 feet of the big enemy and make an attack, which necessarily required waiting until initiative was rolled. You very strongly implied this is what you wanted him to do.
