Current Encounter Map:

PLEASE NOTE: In Fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons, battle is much more simplified. So much so that it is possible to do most encounters entirely verbally without any physical representation of the battle.

Since this is a play by post campaign, I am providing a battle map to help us remember what is going on, with relatively accurate location of all participants and noteworthy other features marked. However, the map takes second seat to story-telling. If I have described something that conflicts with the map, the description wins. If we spend too long looking at distances and angles on the map, we are worrying to much. Everything on the map is approximate, and should not be considered strict spacings. If something seems close, (within 5 feet or so), it might be worth asking me if it is possible. If it is within/further out than that, it should either be considered possible/impossible.

CURRENT MAP

-THE GREEN IS YARD SPACE
-Trissae and Grellik are shown as large because they are mounted
-The black circled token is the non-dazer brother.
-The small pink token is the little girl next to her father.
-Mounted people can go down 5 foot wide areas, but they would be squeezing (half-movement) and advantage/disadvantages can apply (Check page 192 PHB for more)
-Mount control rules are on 198, and might be worth going over it.

Gold Circle PCs & Allies
Black Circle Neutral NPCs
Red Circle Enemies
Pink Circles Currently non-hostile Dazers

Manacle Rules:

Here is what you have currently learned about your manacles, and how they effect you in certain situations.

You are bound wrist to wrist and ankle to ankle. Your wrists are bound by about a foot of chain, making dual wielding impossible because of the limited range of independent movement. Using an item with two hands is unaffected. Your ankles have a little bit more, bit still limit you to a near shuffling sized limit, you can move 15 feet per round, and must succeed a dexterity saving throw DC 12 to dash (failure drops you prone and wastes your action. You can still move as normal, but getting up takes part of your movement).

The manacles themselves are DC 15 to pick with thieves tools, and the tool you have made is enough to work in the simple locks without disadvantage.

As far as the ropes go, you can only have 10 feet separating you and your person to whom you are tied (two squares between your tokens).
