Since White 5 got destroyed and Howy was acting last, can he change his action?

OOC: Of course, I was waiting for a repost. Unfortunately he missed

Gabe moves north and strikes at one of the skeletons wielding a bow.

The skeleton (grey 4), which was just barely holding together, falls apart at the touch of his glaive. Gabe can see that the archers are also armed with long swords.

[harknail]

OOC: Waiting a bit for Bharash. No hurry, I have other things to work on

Bharash moves forward to E12 counting the slime as difficult terrain.

Noticing it must be hard for the others to the north to see he will create a magical light centered at J10

He will then create a scorching burst centered at E18

OOC: It's nice when you have something useful to do with all three actions Unfortunately, the scorching burst missed both Skeletons.

The remaining skeleton guard wanted to return to the entrance to stop anyone else from entering, but it couldn't ignore Harknail's divine challenge.

It managed to find a weak spot in the constructs armor.

Harknail found more archers, the hard way while the easter archers focused on Gabe. Two of the western archers fired at Bharash (all that had a clear shot at him), the rest at Harknail.

All three missed Gabe and only one hit Harknail (for 3 points), but both aiming for him hit Bharash (for 6 points)

Doran will move to E18, crossing over that little corner of no slime between 16 and 17, and then shift to D18. White 2 is now flanked. Have a nice day.
By the way, those of you who are using tables and status lines, are you just writing all of that out, or is there some easy way to do it?

OOC: I had to look twice to realize that you were just moving into flanking position, not attacking. I've been using the buttons at the top to create the tables. For Skeleton turns I've by copying the previous turn and updating it. Which means I might miss updating something, so if something doesn't look right, let me know

Another skeleton crumbles from contact with Gabe's Glaive.

OOC: The skeleton had cover from being around a hard corner in melee combat, but Gabe hit him anyway easily.

[cyco]

OOC: Just reread up on cover before I posted and how I read the determining cover para on PHB280 is that if I pick the common corner then no lines are blocked and hence no cover. I think it makes sense to give a bit of cover bonus but the rules don't seem to support that unless I'm missing something.. again

Good idea. By the way, why don't you just role your commander's strike yourself, without waiting for the other player's input. I have no problem if you do it for me. Just look up the characters and go.

OOC: It's not that your missing something, it's that I'm using the advanced cover rules from the DM's Guide (DMG43). Ranged and area attacks are the same, but it's much easier to get cover from melee attacks. You trace a line from every corner of an attackers square to every corner of a defenders square and have cover if any of those lines are blocked.

OOC: So when attacking around a corner, you have cover from melee attacks but not ranged attacks. Otherwise it would be nearly impossible to have partial cover from melee attacks. I think this rule makes the game more interesting and fun, so I use it. In practice it usually comes down to "Hard corners provide cover vs. melee attacks".

OOC: I'm glad you brought it up so that I can explain the optional rule I'm using. And I'm especially glad that it didn't affect the blow when it first came up.

OOC: Either way is fine with me. I don't mind waiting. In fact I've been surprised how fast this game is running and wondering how long I can maintain this pace. I may have to slow down some now that I'm not going to be in so many long boring meetings...
