OOC:
The Party goes First
ROUND 1
Mole
Biscuit
Varos
Driftkin
When the party of adventurers comes into contact with enemies, the order of events is as follows:
1.
Check for Surprise: The Referee determines if a surprise roll is required, and if so, both sides roll to see if they are surprised by the sudden encounter. (None required at this time.)
2.
Declare Spells: This is not an option for a group that was surprised; they have to wait until the beginning of the next round.
(Declare your spells at this time if any.)
3.
Determine Initiative: Each side rolls a d6 and the side with the highest result is the winner. One roll is made for each side, not for each individual. If this is the first round and one group was surprised, the other side gets to go first automatically, without
having to roll a die. (Naturally there is no surprise round at this time. You won initiative.)
4.
Movement and Missile Fire: Each combatant on the side that won initiative may move,
OR may fire any missile weapons. Then the losers of the initiative roll may move or fire missile weapons.
5.
Melee Combat and Spells: Each combatant on the side that won initiative makes any melee attacks (if in melee range) or casts spells. Spells take effect immediately. Spells cannot be cast if the caster is in melee combat with enemies. Losers of the initiative then make their attacks and cast spells.
6.
The round is complete. Go back to
STEP 2 (Declare Spells) and repeat the process until the combat is finished.
