Was Zynthis able to take cover behind the ramp at R14?

Yes, that gave him total cover vs. most of the sharp shooters, but only partial cover vs. Blue 1, who rolled well. Tucked into the narrow niche (currently hidden by Zynthis's icon), Zynthis can only move to R13 when he decides to leave the spot where he is standing.

Ok, Thanks. Looks like the map is down. I wonder what's causing that.

There's an intermittent bug deleting files on the map server. The delete works, but returns an error code. When I do a Save As from the graphics program replacing the previous map, it ends up deleting the original but not renaming the new file.

Zack will move to Q12, skid into a crouch, sight down his staff, and let off another Magic Missile volley on Red $, who clearly wasn't paying attention last round:

Somehow, I doubt that is going to cut it. Looks like Harknail will have to do it himself.

Note Gabe has used his daily now and Bhrash and Gabe have +5 to hit gray 1 rather than +4.

Gabe struggles to escape the cloud but finds he is barely able to move at all. Frustrated he grabs a small vial from his bag and hurls it at the hexer.

Humm.. save was 16 but changed to 19 when I fixed my damage dice tag from 1d10 to 10. Still saves either way.

Zynthis double moves to behind Thursagan and Healing Word's him again.

Healing Word:

[dice=6]+3+9(surge)=12 pts healing

Edit: Actually if I could, can I move up on to the ramp with the first move, minor H.Word Thursagan, then charge blue 4?

Laira will move up to aid Thurgasan to N20, then she curses the goblin in front of her (B4).

She then casts Eyebite at B4 (hoping to draw the OA so Thurg can get his free fighter attack thing-- note, she has concealment from moving so -2 to hit, and -2 from it being marked).

Laira is now invisible to the goblin as well, finishing her turn.[rand=72472586360315869978772659637988985165346357338726241623322158025]

Yes, you could do that.

The Frost Goblin Cutter dodged the Magic missile thus showing that he had been paying attention to Zachary.

[harknail]

Now that the Frost Goblin Hexer has moved back from the edge, and with both Gabe and Bharash right up against the wall, the goblin has superior cover from both Gabe and Bharash and regular cover from Sanem. In addition, he also has cover from being inside the Freezing Cloud. In other words, he is now very hard to hit.

Here is a side view to show the angles involved.

Side view:

SPOILER: Click to show

The red line is the only unblocked line connecting the goblin's square to those right up against the snowbank, and that line is unblocked only to find being generous. Either way, that means superior cover for the goblin.

The green line shows how Sanem's greater distance from the hill allows him to trace unblocked lines to the goblin's square.

I thought making this clear might change your actions. Gabe, Sanem, please either post a revised action or confirm that you want to stick with your original action.

[cyco]

If it's obvious to Gabe that he has almost no chance of hitting the Goblin even with his bonuses then he'll just do a double move as far as he can toward the ramp. Being slowed for the entire round I think that means he'll only get as far as H5

Actually, his bonuses cancel the penalty for superior cover, leaving only the -2 penalty for concealment. Sanem has a total of a -4 to hit.

[cyco]

Then Gabe would still throw, even though I know with his roll it would be better not to have do so.. One thing looking at your height diagram. Gabe should be one step back from the cliff since he was moving around it not towards it, not that it'll make any difference. At least he'll still do half damage with the acid.

[crysun]

After healing Thursagan for 13, Zynthis charges blue 4.

Charge:
[dice=20]
[dice=10]
Page kept crashing during previews and was loosing my die rolls. My bonuses to hit are +9+1 and damage is +5[rand=12427042518543174028999281121100506276750252041677367579513508577368]

[luke]

In that case Persephone would fly to 011, Sanem moving to Q13 then Quarry against B1, then shooting same.

I'll just use the same rolls etc, it should just be at -2.

The same modifiers apply to both Gray 1 and Blue 1. Anyone on a ledge is going to have cover from ranged attack, same as anyone around a corner. And all goblins in the cloud have concealment.

[luke]

Deleted old attack post, as I am doing something completely different now; sorry.
Sanem whistles shrilly to Persephone and the both take off at high speed, Sanem moving to Q13, Persephone flying to F6.

Persephone screeches in rage (Hunters quarry on Blue1) then charges Blue attempting to Bull rush it off the side. (Moving to I9).

[dice=20]

+1(level)+1(str)+1(charge)

21 vs Fortitude

Persephone then would be flying in the vacated square.[rand=8987573167158784021802915548268187810657689929835212360924666605067]

Thursagan keeps pushing on the goblin, hoping that this time he will go down with the tide of iron.

Attack:

[dice=20]

+8

13 vs. AC

Damage:
[dice=10] (ignored)

[dice=10]

+6=10

As it looks like it won't connect this time, he will use a minor action to second wind, for an additional +2 to AC, and shift to O20 to cover Laira from the goblins on the other hill. Blue 4 is still marked.
With both healings (13+9), he is at 33/37 on HP, 9/12 on surges, and +4 to AC (total 24) for a turn.

I have just realized that O and N are swapped on the map [rand=2028792407363653237794791720807558394559277221563123675612732768]

Still in a rage Bharash scrabbles up the icy hill trying to get closer to their enemy.

[dice=20]
+3=12 Athletics check

Eager to get to somewhere where he can see his foe he moves to E6.

He then opens his maw and lets forth a huge spray of acid covering F7 to J11

He then also causes fire to erupt from I8 catching grey 1
