Ok, I that makes sense. I wish screaming guy would have been a little more subtle but oh well.

I thought we were 40 feet from the orcs? I have fast movement, my speed is 40 ft/round. I should have been able to make it there. I assume my intimidate accomplished nothing on any orc?

Well, none of that reflected what I said I wanted to do, which was use cover of the trees and then the smoke, to sneak in behind or beside the orcs and drop caltrops while they were distracted, and get to the farmer and his wife and the children - I'm pretty sure that's what my post said, but I may have been unclear.

I remain mostly behind that plan, still wanting to drop caltrops if possible, to catch orcs off guard while they're not watching and to help prevent pursuit, and getting to the family and getting them out of the area, though it looks like I may also need to make sure to have my scimitar out as well, and wet my mouth and face covering first and use it both as a filter for the smoke and so I don't alarm the family. I'll make that post in the party thread and wait for the next round of player posts.

I need to know my distance from the orcs and if I can get within 20feet without being noticed, (the range of my sneak attack) are the orcs aware of what is going on out front and what are they armed with?

Namdar. When you said you were going to get behind them as the rest of the party made a frontal attack that would put you by the barn. If you came out behind them as they toyed with the farmer as they turned to the attack they would have a much better chance of seeing you. The way the smoke is blowing it rises with the heat from the barn before the wind and it cooling brings it back down. This is about the tree line. This is why you could see the orcs and what they were doing and why they could see you. Yes it was 40 meters about and one person screaming does not really do much to intimidate about a dozen orcs.


Aive they are more distracted by a few screams from the front of the house. Two of them will move to head around to the other side. Leaving the one that is still cutting up the cow. As he is preoccupied you can get withing 10 ft or less.

If it was 40 ft, I should have hit an orc with that attack, or missed it if it's AC was actually high enough. My point is that 40 ft is close enough for me to move in and attack, 30ft base, +10 from Fast Movement. My math isn't THAT bad, is it?

If you read the end of the post I tell you that it the end of round one and that your in melee range. Melee range is less than 10 ft. Remember a meter is a little more than a yard.

But what happened to my round 1 attack? Shouldn't that have occurred?
