From an OCC perspective, I'm a little frustrated with lack of attention paid to walls, bottlenecks, and space in general. Could we try to be a little more precise with dimensions and locations? I feel like this last fight happened in a narrow five foot wide cave that let us stand four abreast.

[ajardoor]

That's mostly because no enemy actually engaged you guys.

No one charged forward until the fight was over (and had to contend with the narrow corridor).
The party stayed around the cave opening, which is wider. And used ranged attacks.
If the whole thing degenerated into a melee, the bad guys would've been stuck exposing themselves to more attacks than they could get off - which is probably why they ran instead.

The cave opening, or the door? I was under the impression that the door was five feet wide, and the cave opening was 10 feet wide. And I thought that Telrith was in the doorway, and the elemental right behind him.

They ran farther back into the cave, yes? not back into the mess hall?

It was clear for me. We fell back in a line in towards the exit: Bain, Gathika, Vic, Elemental 1, Telrith, Elemental 2. In such location, the corridor fit 2-3 men and was a 10-yard-long. Bain removed the trap, and then he prepared to cover us. When our GM gave us the chance to organize ourselves, Telrith, Elemental 2 and Vic formed a defensive line; the distance between us was about 1 yard so we could leave quicker (but we fought instead). Per our GM's description, the bottleneck was working against the bandits. Gathika took cover behind the cart or a boulder as the elemental 1 protected the loot.

The mess hall leads further into the cave. They ran back into the hall, and then north west out of there through a door.

Ok, duly noted. Update your sheet.

Ok, I see my confusion: The door is 10 feet across. Shortly afterwards, the passage narrows to five feet across. I had thought the door was in the five foot wide section.



GM, when we built the wall and smoked them out was the door open?

[ericthered]

GM, could I get a description of the mess hall entrances and exits?
