The events as we discussed should now be in motion, @Hekazu.

Awesome, now I just have to make sure not to get hit so I can maintain the concentration.

@Hekazu Should I wait to see if the riders fail to control their animals first or can I go? I imagine the still-living cult guy closest to Orchid also needs to roll to control his horse, which may evoke an AoP from Orchid if he can't.

All but Dragonclaw #1 fail to keep their horses in check, the one with the dead rider having nobody to rein it so it will follow suit. This prompts opportunity attacks from Orchid (@Lucius Cypher), Kyra (@Norschtalen), Torus (@Gordian Nought) and, naturally, Brannor (@The Harbinger of Ferocity).

Map will be updated and initiative order advanced after said attacks have taken place, or ignored. Time to provide said rolls is 24 hours, at which point I will be assuming the attack will take place and roll it in your stead. It should specifically be noted that Orchid's only available Opportunity Attack is against a horse with a dead rider, so that may be an exception to the aforementioned rule.

Brannor makes his opportunity attack against the favored of the two cultists, the roll at a 9. Despite having advantage from Parum's Faerie Fire, the bonus roll is exactly another 9. While not a successful effort, the enemy is still forced to take flight from the battle, just as hoped.

@Hekazu

Would it be possible for Orchid to grab and calm the horse for himself as his attack of opportunity? He is trained in animal handling. If not he could still just try to grapple it by dropping his javelin and going for the grab.

Yes! Natural 20 for my attack of opportunity on the cultist! Kyra will do 9 points of piercing damage with her shortsword as she aims right for the cultist's loins.

Attempting a grab is definitely possible. Attempting both that and the Animal Handling at the same time less so. That would be for his turn later.

Hmm. Eh what the hey, ain't like I got anything else to react to. Though I only managed to roll a 10. If that beats the horse's opposed athletics or acrobatics roll, than Orchid would try and control and mount on my turn. Also in case it matters, if it is frighten it should have disadvantage on it's rolls since it's still within sight of the thing it's afraid of.

Unfortunately, the horse succeeds in escaping the attempt despite its disadvantage with a roll of 16 13.

I do not have an opportunity attack from Torus yet, and I would like to see all actions resolved in chronological order. The map remains not updated so far just as well, but if you do not do anything that might be affected by the Druid's actions and remember that many horses have GTFO'd, I suppose there is no harm in keeping a slightly more brisk a pace.

Fair nuff, I’ll wait till tomorrow or so to post up something, likely attacking Dragonclaw 1 since he’s alive and his horse didn’t flee.

Provided timeframe exceeded, @Gordian Nought. Assuming Torus will resume attacking the cultist he has already harmed. Attack roll came up as 24 19. The damage dealt equals 11, finishing off the cult member. Kyra's target has died just as well.

It is now Orchid's turn to act @Lucius Cypher.

Brannor is now also a Large creature, @Hekazu, so when the map is next updated that might prove relevant. It might not, I haven't the faintest what you have in store for us, but I assume that might matter. All the same, that board looks much, much more agreeable than it had prior. Contending with the way things are now should help us some.

I was under the impression that while the full animal form is Large, the Hybrid form would remain Medium. A quick look into the MM seems to agree with this. Is there something I am missing?

Apologies for missing the AoO.

Its Statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form.

That was the area of issue I came across when I read the ability from the character sheet over again, @Hekazu.

As far as I can gather, that is included thanks to the Animal form indeed being Large. But since the Hybrid form seems to remain Medium, I suppose there is no change to be made?

Having looked into it, apparently it seems to be a case of missing words. The suggested solution is to leave it up to the Dungeon Master because there is no official answer for the copy and paste editing splice, @Hekazu.
