Yikes, what a crazy turn! The other Ettin's turn is soon to come...

One question - should Leoric's hero ability have factored into Mauler's attack? If "within three spaces" is counted akin to movement, Mauler's presence at H6 is within 3 spaces of Leoric, and his 8 damage attack becomes 7 damage (-1 heart). If the "within 3 spaces" has to be traced orthogonally, then never mind.

...You are correct! Retcon'd.

Laurel lives with 1 health remaining! Not only that, but is also blocking a really nice spot for the other Ettin to move to.

Didn't I kill the goblin at K6 as well?

How did I become the meatshield?

You went first... I was kinda wondering if I should go out in the front but then thought that was a silly idea.

'Tis but a scratch.

I get to respawn a goblin every round. So yes you killed it, and yes it stood back up.

Ahh well I'll just have to knock him down again then.

Healbot powers will have to activate next turn.

The smaller, and dumber, of the two Ettins decides to follow the lead and charges in to attack Lauren.
The ettin moves to E5-F6 and attacks Lauren!

The ettin raises its, smaller, but still meaty hand into the air to strike a blow to Lauren. Lauren attempts to prepare for the second attack...

The ettin misses!
The smaller, and dumber ettin, smashes a rock that could of been mistaken for Lauren if it was dark. And foggy. And if the ettin were blind.

This concludes the Ettin round. Goblin archers are coming up next...

The goblins, seeing one of their own fall to these heroes, knowingly assume that they are more than the guards that were recently sacked. They decide to run for it to the secret passage...

The Goblin Archers make a run for the exit! They all spend both actions on movement to allow for 10 movement points each!
K4 -> D5
J5 -> B3
K5 -> C4
K6 -> C5

NOTE: The water tiles take two movement points to move through rather than just one.

This concludes the Overlord turn. Heroes, it is now your turn!

thejustinbot, I'd love to end up adjacent to you and get healed.

I don't know if we want to maintain player turn order exactly or not. If we do I will wait if not it is time for Mauler and I to dance.

Syndrael triggers her heroic feat on her and Laurel or Leoric (who ever wants to have a movement action). She then moves to I5 and attacks Mauler with all she has twice.

I'm not sure turn order will matter, unless someone has a very particular plan.

My only suggested plan is that I end up adjacent to thejustinbot, from either my move or his, and he heal me with his skill.

You whine like a mule. You are still alive!

Just curious on who is taking the extra move.

Syndrael lets out a battle cry that provides her and some extra vigor. She then charges the beast Mauler and lets out a furious series of attacks.

Next up!

Wow that was a whole lot of not much for the effort.

Move to H6, use Prayer of Healing on Laurel.

Prayer of Healing just takes a fatigue, so you still have an action left. I wasn't intending on hogging your whole turn.

Good point. Though I did sign up to be the healbot. In that case...

After healing, attack the Mauler.

Avric, seeing a fellow hero in need, rushes into the fray and prays for Laurel's well being.

Lauren recovers 1 hit point!

Avric, frustrated at the lack of his lord's lack of assitance, fearlessly stares down his foe and attacks with his mighty Iron Mace.

Avric misses!

The odds were not in Avric's favor this day...

Next up!

Don't for get one of you gets a free move from me.

Leoric utilizes free move to go to H7 ("Just a little closer...") then attacks Mauler twice.

I don't believe you would have line of sight in that space for Mauler due to Avric & Laurel blocking the way.

Okay, I thought line of sight ignored friendly figures like movement.

In that case, Leoric, whose companions unhelpfully ignore his cries of "Down in front!" attacks the other ettin.

Wait!

I can move first, and get out of your way.

If so, I can suffer 2 fatigue to move back to G8 and attack Mauler twice.

If Laurel does step back, then Leoric could have LOS on Mauler.

You two good with Laurel stepping back first? Just want to be sure everybody's on the same page.

Give Laurel the free move to save the two fatigue, then. I barely need to move.

Sounds good to me.
