He has moved into I03 so he could fire at you. So, you did not have to shoot through the monkeys. If you did, it would be impossible (unless you rolled a 20). They take up too much of the square.

I've had to think through how I am handling this, and realized there is no point getting you to declare actions in a situation where he has won the tie break, because I am jot asking you to stick to your declared actions and you can change your mind after he has acted.

In this case, he does win the tie-break and acts first. He runs back around the corner to K04 again.

If you follow him, he will get to throw a shuriken at you as soon as he can see you. I allowed you to break up your last round into two phases like that so I will allow him to do likewise.

I wouldn't normally do it that way but it's a pretty crucial battle and it's one on one.

FWIW this is what I try to do. It's still an imperfect system and while most players don't deliberately try to abuse it, does make it hard in many situations to do something ridiculous solely due to initiative differences.

I will pocket the vial. If I move to the stairs (silently, of course ) will he be able to attack me?

Jaali will come out of the cube, pistol in hand pointing at Kanya, shouting :

"Kanya, drop that horn, drop your weapons and surrender. Otherwise, you won't get out of here alive !"

During the time Jaali is speaking, he will try to move away to get somewhere where he can be around 40' feet away from her but still have a good shooting angle.

Jaali, You are inside a 30 wide concrete cube, right at the center. She is about 5' from the centre.

You cannot go 40' away and still get a good angle. If you want to try and run past her and out the door, you cam get 40' away but then you will not be able to see her because you will be outside. Otherwise, if you stay in the cube, the maximum distance you can get from her is 20''.

What do you do?

Then Jaali will walk along the wall, to be able to run outside and shoot if Kanya don't cooperate.

OK, you enter the room with gun pointed at her and move towards the wall

She is not surprised.

She puts down the powder horn and picks up her flail.

Fat chance, you hairy little freak. One hit from that isn't going to harm me! And then I'll squash you!

Clearly she is going to attack you next round.

Do you have the next half of your move (running outside) or shoot her? You can't do both because you have already had half your action.

(See another post above)

Probably. All he has to do is move a bit and he can throw at you. You're not sure.

Jaali will run outside.

By the way, how much time does it takes to light a torch ?

Lighting a torch would take a full round.

Jaali has acted, Kanya has now acted.

Waiting on Sonja to finish her round. Pocketing the vial is an action. Moving 30 feet would finish her round.
