How many gnolls are at the bridge?

With a quick look there's about a dozen. That's including the one that just climbed up the others' backs. They seem a bit thin and measly, not quite as dangerous as an experienced player might expect your average gnoll to be.

[gryffydd65]

Zain will cast guiding bolt at the bottom middle gnoll hoping to kill it and topple the pyramid down.

(1d20+3)[11]

(4d6)[11] damage plus if hit get advantage on next attack.

I am not sure if this is the attack you said Zain did because you mentioned shocking grasp.

Sorry. Damn my memory. 11 doesn't hit so I forgot which spell you used. My bad. If you want to use this as reason to retain the spell slot I'm cool with it.

[gryffydd65]

Ok I will try again
(1d20+3)[7]

Guidance bolt.

[WindStruck]

If only the dice would be cooperative for once.

Reconsidering the issue I'm going to give you advantage. THe guy you're targeting can't exactly dodge.

[Luccan]

I really don't know what I was thinking not taking the fight to the enemy. I'm a barbarian!

[gryffydd65]

Advantage roll (1d20+3)[12]

[WindStruck]

Good on you! I think you also get advantage for attacking one of the bottom gnolls.

[Luccan]

If so

(1d20+5)[11]

[Smilex]

Gryff, I'm really sorry about what the random generator is doing to you. ... I'm giving you inspiration... just because.

[WindStruck]

So are the archers up with Lucia and Coatell still alive?

[Smilex]

So are the archers up with Lucia and Coatell still alive?

Yes. They've been firing at the gnolls on the east side for a while. THey're basically spending a turn rolling perception checks to figure out what's going on.
Apologies, I could've been explicit about that.

[gryffydd65]

Ok so shocking grasp with advantage

(1d20+3)[14]

(1d20+3)[12]

(1d8)[5]

Thanks for inspiration. Come on dice gods.

[WindStruck]

...actually forgot the /roll tags.

This is for Lucia's fire bolt: (1d20+5)[22]

[gryffydd65]

Zain tries shocking grasp again.

(1d20+3)[10]

(1d8)[6]

[gryffydd65]

The dice gods curse me again.

[WindStruck]

So on the west side, are all the gnolls taking cover now? Or are there still any that can be shot or engaged with defenders?

[Luccan]

Any chance someone could grab Justius and make it through the gate?

[Smilex]

The west side right now doesn't seem to have a suitable target. You very much suspect that another gnoll will either climb over soon or one of the one's that are covering will try to open the western outer gate. Readying an attack is an option.

Or there's certainly targets on the north side.

@Luccan
Justius is not a heavy person. Even Zain could pull him to the other side if it wasn't for all the gnolls.

[WindStruck]

Do you think it would be possible to pay attention to which opening the gnolls shoot at most often, and a pattern for how often?

Could I just take a pot shot at them in the blacksmith at a disadvantage and then take cover again so they can't hit me?

(well, can't as in never/impossible probably isn't realistic, but I don't think mere disadvantage on their attacks would be fair, unless it was perfectly timed)

I probably can't hit them either, but why would I bother doing this? Just to keep them busy and wasting arrows.

[Smilex]

You would also get +5 for cover and the only ones who would get a shot would be the ones if any that actually had a readied attack.

[gryffydd65]

Is zain in the group that is upstairs firing arrows. I was rereading my sheet and found that he can use marital weapons so he can fire arrows if a bow is available.

(1d20+3)[16]

[Luccan]

How long will it take to get to the door the gnolls in the north are approaching? My Dex is only a 10, so if it's gonna take a few rounds to get to the door, I'd rather spend my turns doing that

[Smilex]

You would guess four rounds. It's blocked though so they'll have to break it. Probably will take a while to break through.

[Luccan]

I'll post in a bit. I'm no good with a bow and I assume they're not in handaxe range since we're in a tower

I didn't get a response so not sure what to put in ic.

Ow. I'm so sorry. I somehow simply didn't notice that message. Yes, you're upstairs if you want. If you want to be downstairs, that's ok by me. So yes, a bow is available. I'll advance the IC thread shortly.

[gryffydd65]

Is there any high ground that Zain can shoot from ?

[Smilex]

When you get downstairs you can stay at the second floor balcony and shoot at the attackers over the heads of the defenders.
