Nem - To your question, unless Zhu drops the spell, you would need to make a Strength check versus DC16 to break out, OR you could burn them away from you but you'd take 2d4 damage doing that. The Strength check (and the burning) is an action, so even assuming the Giant was within movement range you'd only have a Bonus Action left on that turn. You could just make a ranged attack (with Disadvantage) from inside the web OR cast a spell (at no penalty).

I am, but in my case (oddly) I use it as an escape and for stress relief.

Thanks Zeim. I think that'd be 15-ft of movement towards the hill giant, accounting for terrain.

I need an animal handling for Arus. DC 10...let's call it a save, to control the horse enough to prevent a dumping of the goods into the river.
Arus cut Boris free from the cart, which is still webbed, I think?

I believe that's correct, Aqua. The cart should stay put then.

With the horse and cart now webbed securely in place, Arus has no need to cut Boris loose.
But yeah, I see his post. Will adjust soon.

Kriv's plan is 'find a secure anchor, tie one end of a rope around it solidly, head back towards those who need dragging out of the mud with the other end'.

Need anything in particular to action this, want me to move back on the map?

As Nep posted in the main thread, Two-Handed attacks have changed from prior versions. You no longer get to attack with 2 weapons (1 in each hand) as part of a normal attack routine. If you want to attack with your off-hand you must use up your Bonus Action to do so.

Yeah wasn't sure if it was still possible... Almost makes taking that option/fighting style a waste... but...it works.

Yes, much less useful. Of course you could also say that prior versions made it too powerful (effectively a free attack every round). You are basically just using your bonus action to take an attack, which compares with the BA spell options available or other things you can do. It just becomes one more choice.

By my math Pavel didn't even need the extra attack (or even necessarily to misty step away) as I count 114 > 105 on the giant... although with those weird eyes one wonders if it's actually going to die...

One of the peculiarities of on-line message gaming. Obviously, in a FTF game (presuming Pavel's attack dropped the giant), the DM would announce the giant dropped and so he wouldn't even try to use it. One of those situations where he'd end up taking back the action retroactively I guess.

In any case, I need to wait to see if it is still up before I post for Zhu.

Oh... wasn't aware I was supposed to move him. Just know he made his last save.

And my math was wrong, I used Pavel's attack roll not the damage roll. So it's 93, 12 more damage needed. C'mon Zhu and Jaliera, save Aubric from that club! (Although the mudslide might help too!)

Question:

Are we using the Weapon Mastery properties (Sap, Vex, Cleave, etc.)? If so would like to point out the giant should be rolling with Disadvantage on it's next attacks.

No.
Those are 2024 rules and this game is 2014 rules.
