>So if 3 people attack a creature in a 60° angle forming an equilateral triangle, none of them gets advantage?

That's my interpretation of Vanilla but I would definitely say if you have them surrounded then you catch them off guard which is like flanking in this game.

Okay, thanks for that I had the note and if he had actually hit you I would have hopefully read it.

Why american fast food died.

1. The bread is not actually bread:

https://www.npr.org/2020/10/01/919189045/for-subway-a-ruling-not-so-sweet-irish-court-says-its-bread-isnt-bread

"10% sugar constiuent in flour"

https://www.chowhound.com/1698087/chemical-formerly-used-subway-bread/

azodicarbonamide is used in the production of plastics and rubber items, like shoe soles, flip-flops, and foam insulation. This chemical is what gives many of these products elasticity.

2. Pink slime and trimmings of cuts

https://thecounter.org/bpi-pink-slime-ground-beef-usda-reclassifed/

"Amonium hydroxide" and "high levels of purines in offal meat"

https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/faq/what-kind-of-beef-does-mcdonald-s-use-in-your-burgers.html

"McDonald's uses only 100% pure beef, trimmings of cuts".

"Meat trimmings are the pieces of meat, fat, and connective tissue that are removed when larger cuts of meat are portioned into steaks, roasts, or other specific cuts"

3. The whole frankenchicken McNuggets:

https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/help/faq/what-are-the-ingredients-of-chicken-mcnuggets.html

"chicken meat constitutes 45% of the total Chicken McNugget®"

And they're proud of this!

4. Cheap:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/consumer/article-13387569/mcdonalds-fast-food-prices-inflation-greedflation.html

In 2019, a 12 piece McNugget was $3.49, now it's $6.89 according to sources but at our local McDonald's it's nearly $20 ($15.49) at the window for mcnuggets and a small fry. Yes it's cheaper by a large amount not to get any meal deal.

Subway $15 foot longs... etc.

No thanks. I used to drive bestie to get mcnuggets happy meals for $6 then when she grew out of happy meals suddenly at one point two happy meals witg two small fries and two chocolate milks was cheaper than a single order of mcnuggets. Wtf?

Those nuggets ain't the same nuggets I had as a child, they were discernible chunck of mystery meat, now it's white sponge wrapped in cardboard.

Fast food died for me long before that but there's no helping it.

Advantage does not stack.

The man on the wall would need line of sight and there is at least partial cover. Since his move ended with a dash, he couldn't fire this turn. He could guess but shooting through a tree is poorly advised. I'd have to look into that. I would give you full cover if you are on the other side of a large creature.

Flanking works for those who are in opposite positions, you must be roughly on the opposite side of at least one other ally. A third who is 90 degree off would not get flank but I am not too picky about that if you had unused movement because there's no penalty to move to that position as long as you don't disengage. If you say you flanked, I would take it to mean you moved to a flanking position and nove you.

[Round 3]

Cat maintains her position.

Alice carefully moves 5ft East and 15ft NE under the tree and hides again

[I apologize in advance if this is wrong, but I must take this as a position exacltly 3 squares East and Two squares North under the dormant or dead tree which does not offer the same cover as the evergreens; which is somewhat exposed. It can't be undone.]

Yulya gesticulates to Ashley to follow her and moves 10 ft W hiding beneath the tree.

Confused but not wanting to be the one who messes this up, she follows and dashes to just south of Yulya, careful not to disturb the tree.



[PERCEPTION vs Ashley's STEALTH 13 1d20+3=15]

Unfortunately the troll spots her as she jumps the gap between the trees and busts North through the trees. Instead spotting Alice then Cat he gets into position and performs a sweeping blow against both of them with his free hand.

[HIT vs (AC13<+2 SOF>,AC16) 1d20+7=(10,15)]

He swings and misses both, knocking snow and branches in his wake.

You hear from the man on the wall,
"There's more!" And he dashes East to try to get a line of sight on any possible targets.

Bear had a doctor appointment follow up and that sapped 2 hours, so there will likely be a brief pause until tomorrow

The troll's name is Harvey Epstein. He was found on an island with a lot of yoing aspiring actresses *and actors.*

The changes are fine, I didn't read them yet.

I dreampt I was going in for a 7 hour surgery and I was dead tired. There was a doctor and someone else, a gay male nurse? He had this huge chemistry thermometer and said, "I want to be the one who checks the temperature."

It gets crazier.

I say, "I need to go to the bathroom" they look at me strange and then say go.

This hospital has no normal bathrooms, I find a geriatric ward and the room has rows of padded toilets with dirty pads, I pull the pad off, it's in front of everyone, there's another pad with poop on it, and another and another, dozens, so many I can't even find where the water hole is. I give up and ask a lady, she tells me to go ask Joan and Anna. I go into another room, an office of women, "I'm looking for Joan or Anna about a bathroom?"

"I'm Joan," the lady says, "but I don't know where any bathrooms are, Anna is over there."

Anna looks at me and behind her is a door without a handle, just a deadbolt. She opens it with a key and there's a toilet but it's too close to the door to sit on it and shut the door.

I pass, and look for another. I find another room with a swivel toilet right out in the open and an older woman asks me what I'm doing.

I say, "I'm about to go into a 7 hour surgery and the geriatric ward toilets didn't work. I start crying but I'm not sad."

She says, "oh I know you're worried about people targeting those going to surgery" (she's talking about the radical left as if having surgery is so privileged that they need to stop all surgeries.)

I say no, "I'm just worried about people". I have no idea why I said that.

She asks, "people in general?"

Then I wake up and realized I meant I was worried about surgery.

Idk wtf

[Ashley requests a pause to discuss exactly how she should act and how the attack will involve her and her summons. Please see the other thread.]

The wasps, as I described, are pushed 50ft south by the wind regardless of what direction they go. They would have to fly directly against the wind to stay North, and thus wouldn't travel West at all. The best you can get is the hypotenuse of a triangle West.

[Ashley] I get vague directions like "spam wasps" and "get out of there" I have nowhere to go, Joy said if I try to walk through a tree I will be spotted. So tell me what to do, I'll wait.

[Round 3]

Cat continues to lay in wait for one more round. She nervously looks over at Ashley seeing the Troll approach

Alice keeps motionless and tries to get a look at the troll to determine what equipment he's carrying. She also keeps a lookout for the ominous beastmaster. She peeks through the branches and sees the monster for what it is, it carries the ballista in it's hands and it's fists at the end of it's long arms are wrapped in iron spiked bands making his hands both giant sized clubs and considered light weapons to him.

[PERCEPTION 1d20+2=7, ARTIFICER/LORE 1d20+0=CM]

She notes that the Ballista has three bolts on top but has no idea how they work or if the troll can reload it, but one is ready to fire.

Yulya tries to calculate her chances of survival as the troll begins to move in her direction. It's all or nothing now. She hides deep in the tree and hopes for a miracle.

[ANGELIC INTERVENTION 1d20=9]

In her panic and dread she sees rays of light unimaginably piercing both the tree and the storm, the golden yellow rays shine around her in a divine warming glow, suddenly she receives a vision.



An angelic figure she knows as SheShe fills her heart with bravery and light if just for the moment, SheShe smiles and then gives an apologetic look. In Yulya's own mindvoice she perceives these thoughts, "you are about to face challenges that will test your abilities and will, tread carefully, not everything is an enemy. But... just so we're clear, everything you face at this moment is. I am always with you."

The image fades and Yulya's left alone and cold once again.

[For the record, I do not know what SheShe is talking about but she is usually right, so keep that in mind.]

Ashley can't see the Troll from her spot but it cannot see her either, however she she knows exactly what's going on through the multifaceted eyes of her dragonwasps. She sends another, BeeBee this time pops into the material plane and is swept south by the wind.



The dragonwasp fights to fly as far west as it can but ends up right where Beatrice was before her.

The troll swats at her. [HIT vs DC10 1d20+7=9] He misses with his main hand as BeeBee is tossed about in the wind, but then he swats at her with his off hand. [HIT vs DC10 1d20+7=10] This strike crushes her and she once again pops back to the negative plane. He examines his fist as if wondering where she went.

Ashley decides to back up,holdig her shield in front of her.

[Hidden Rolls]

The hooded figure on the wall sees this and calls out, "I know you're out there wizard! Our friend can smell you! Keep sending these worthless illusions, they'll do nothing! Leave now and you'll live to tell the tale, stay and you'll be fed to our pet! We have no accommodations for thieves and burglars." He then trains his crossbow on the field, looking for any sign of life but concentrating on the Northeast.

The beast moves Northeast, kicking snow out of his way. Though he cuts through Alice's tunnels, his destructive gate doesn't reveal anything unusual as he collapses them.

[The wake of the troll has flattened and compressed the snow disallowing tunnels.]

The hooded figure leans East as if preparing to keep sight of his 'friend'.



[Moves required]

>Difficult terrain under a fir tree?

I'll forgive you since most of Europe has no trees, yes you are basically crawling under the tree, whether the terrain is difficult or not, if you're crawling it's half speed.

Also let me save you a little waste here, whether you use a stink bomb or smoke, it will only last one turn because of the wind. For the purposes of Vanilla reasoning, 21+mph wind will disburse any cloud in 1 turn. The wind here is approaching 50mph in gusts. The stink or smoke will be completely ineffective.

Noted.

I read that as a DM I should TPK at least once early on, I know Alice will have a fit... I'm liking this idea more and more.
