Honestly, I'm waiting for one of three things to happen:

-The whole thing falls apart, in which case, Bross tries his best to fight under the conditions.
-We get taken into the camp, which should count as a KIND of recon, and figure out what's going on. (in which case, Bross is trying to not ruin it).
-We just wait until morning and then see what sort of conditions we're under by then, maybe fight, maybe no.

Bross (mostly) can't see.

Most of my attempts to be proactive so far got no-sold (I have had to point out to people "hey, I posted something speaking to you") and I assume a lot of the 'leadership' is happening in the Elvish crosstalk I can't read. So, I'm laying back a bit and seeing what happens.

Ac is more or less in the same boat as Bross. He is off on one flank, waiting to see if the other PCs decide to fight or try to continue with Hargrin's and Sora's ruse.

In reply to Alleycat (msg # 473):

I'd say the elvish posts are more oriented with personal bonding than strategizing.

It has been a long boring stint for those who can't see. That is why I think we need to move along and improve communication to include the folks who are not in the kobalds' kill zone...

Did I say that?

No pun intended.

Want me to attack, cause Cat can do it. She can 100% do a Leeroy Jenkins and attack the kobold.

lol... did I just mention a kill zone?

Yep, the perfect chance to make an assault, they'll never expect a lone Half-orc and a donkey to come charging in. :p

Hargrin is 100% okay with being used as a distraction if someone not in the purely hypothetical kill zone wants to take their shot, by the way :)

Bardic Inspiration die (D6 at 2nd level) can be added to one ability check, saving throw, or attack roll.

Generally, the player will roll the d20 for whichever of these rolls they are attempting to make. After they roll (but before the DM tells them whether they succeed or fail), they can choose to add the Bardic Inspiration to the roll.

To do so, they simply declare that they are going to use their Bardic Inspiration die, roll the die, and add the result to their d20 roll.

You have initiative. Please post your turns.

Could I make it into melee with the top left kobold this turn? And do all kobolds except the 2 leader kobolds appear to be "crossbow lurker" types?

Am I dead yet? lol Got sick so catching up now that I'm not under the weather.

We've just about started the first round in the attack. Those kobolds didn't see it coming.

In reply to Catrina GreySky (msg # 484):

Took you longer than I expected lol I jest. Hopefully we make it out of this alive. I've only a couple dozen backup ideas for characters. And honestly I rather like Antru.

Sorry folks I was under the weather this week. Let's try to get back on track this weekend.

Hargrin asked a question that I seem to have spaced out on. For distances, each line of text is 5 feet apart. Hargrin, you could reach the three kobalds closest to you for melee. The light spell is illuminating anyone within 40 feet of Sora.

I will post another sketch before the kobalds turn.

Hope that you're on the mend, and feeling better. :)

i posted my action (Hex and eldrich blast).

See post #174

Sorry about that. Antru killed the hexed kobald. Hargrin injured drake1 I've edited the turn summary sketch in the previous message.

So how far away are the kobolds and drakes based on the sketch map.

The Road heads west away from Greenest. The glowing drakes veered to the north slightly to avoid Catrina. They are now about 15 feet from Catrina heading west away from Greenest. Each of them lights up an area around them within a radius of 10 feet. Any kobalds in the area avoid the light. None of them are within range of Catrina's Dark vision.

The only visible target remaining for the rest of the group is the second drake.

Bross add the bardic inspiration d6 to your second wind.

...yep. :)

Thanks! I am doing much better now.
