Ashley: Well, you see, I tied a rope to a Panther and fed her to a giant octopus...
Now I understand how everyone got this title at Lv4. This world is full of bargain bin heroes. Cat at least protected her village. I wonder what you'll come up with for me. Actually I wanna get that title for barbecuing an owl - who stole my ship!
[In the midst of this intense attack, Yulya gets a vision, she foresees Ashley being awarded with her hero title for her bravery and selflessness after this and other similar brave if not foolhardy actions.]Kids: Ashley, tell us about how you became a Hero!

Now let's do this!Uh yes, thank you! I hope this works. Be careful!
Yulya nervously awaits the outcome of the battle staring at her focus and worried about another mishap. If the octopus is still up and kickin after Alice and Cat attack Yulya casts a Distant INFLICT WOUNDS boosted to lv2 and amplified with the goblin staff at the octopus. If they manage to take it down Yulya readies the spell and casts it at the snake as soon as it shows up.

Ashley addresses the group. Listen up, this whole weak arrow attack and ranged crap with cantrips isn't going to work, we have one chance. Alice, once Moby-Dickapus is held and beached, get in there and grapple it like Brutus said, attack with everything you got, all the hits you can with your hand harming thing.Not even Alice would have used Nixie as living bait, but she's glad she herself isnt' tied to that rope. Surprised that Nixie survived the octopus attack and seeing it grappled, Alice charges in and jumps on top of the octopus. Having faith Ashley and her summon's grapple, Alice attacks with her spear 2 handed and expends 2 Ki point for Flurry of blows + Hand of Harm dealing 2 unarmed strikes+necrotic damage. If the octopus is killed, Alice will also retreat East before falling into the water (and victim to the snake).

Does it even make sense for me to grapple that thing? Even Mary Sue Chad octopus will have extremely slim survival chances beyond this round. I'd rather put everything into one spear- and 2 unarmed attacks than a 3rd grapple.

question about INFLICT WOUNDS + Distant
spell says target must be a creature you can reach. so does that work with metamagic Distant or not? looks seriously op as a ranged spell boosted with the focus

TL;DR
While host refused to go back to the gym for a few days, I finally dragged him there yesterday - as expected all windows in the gym machine room were closed, awful air, Karens around. But the gym has 3 other rooms, two for floor gymnastics and one for open weight training. So we went there where the cool kids go and it was good. Few people, no Karens, window half-open not perfect but decent air. Host has already used his manipulative superpowers to forge an open-window faction and we have 3 of the most notorious gym regulars on our side. Karens very rarely go there and if they'll have to put up with far less agreeable people than host. So yeah, it's not ideal as I'd like to do a few things in the gym machine room, especially pull and leg, but we'll manage. It's time to move from the machines to using dumb- bar- and kettlebells anyway.
There's a new coach who looks like Sasuke, never seen him smile but he's chill. Taught us a few new kettlebell exercises. He pushed host to his limits and - what surprise - he can do a lot more that he usually does. I like the man! You know, host has this routine thing where he always does the same and hence easily hits a plateau. And unless you yell at him he won't go out of his comfort zone Lazy. I think he'll benefit from exercising with the coach and one of the regulars. Doesn't hurt learning from and being pushed by others.
And of course The Bear was right, machines suck and doing everything with weights is far better. It was good at the beginning to get a feel for it and avoid injury but it's been almost 2 years since we started and I feel we wasted half of that on machines. So actually we have to thank the Karens, it was a revelation.
