Just dropping to say "Hi"...

Dalo (@Huntn), do you have an idea what you want to do (it's your turn next after Syllin's (@scepticlescribe)) ?

Note: You healed me last turn so you are probably near me (I'm not sure your position on @ravenvii's map is correct).

Sorry for the delayed response, somehow in the hundreds of likes per day I get ;) I missed this notification. Now, It's been so long I had to think about what I did. :p
I believe I healed you with Healing Word which can be accomplished from 60' away so I may not be that close, but my impression is I'm within a moving distance of 20'. My understanding is I have two major spells per day and unlimited cantrips. Can a spell be repeated as part of 2 spells per day?

Since I am bottom dwarf on the experience poll, I'd be inclined to heal again as needed or based on wise advice, get a little offensive and pummel someone with Guiding Bolt (ranged) or Inflict Wounds (melee) as appropriate, while keeping Sacred Flame (cantrip-ranged) in my back pocket.

Eeek, I missed that you used healing word so your map location is correct :). Veit likes to throw hand axes so that's another possibility.

You have the best armor in the group so you could also start beating them with your war hammer.
 
Throwing handaxes from distance is probably not the wisest move on my part - probably better to get engaged up close and keep them occupied and from attacking others of our party with lesser armor (=all of 'em).

I'd do it myself but I'm one of the last and it's probably good to have one cleric remaining more mobile in case there's some healing to do.
 
Okay: It seems that my capacity to cast spells of a nature that may be to the detriment of our (strangely hard to subdue) ruffians - or, rather, - enemies may be called upon. Again.

As a Level Two wizard, I believe that I have three spells to hand that can be summoned immediately (and slots for five, or six?)

Remind me again: Which spell that is mine to command is likely to wreck most havoc on the nasty unwashed ruffians facing us.

You are correct. You have three first level spells / day and you have used one (burning hands) to good affect.

You have six spell slots to choose your casted spells from.

(i.e. using a bow/arrow analogy, you can take two more shots with your bow and you have 6 arrows).

Since there are party members mixed in with the ruffians, it was recommended to use either a magic missile (first level spell - two left) or a ray of frost (cantrip - infinite left). Veit recommended using a magic missile spell and sending one missile at ruffian 5 (almost dead) and two missiles at ruffian 2 (the one attacking you).

I'd do it myself but I'm one of the last and it's probably good to have one cleric remaining more mobile in case there's some healing to do.

Veit is slacking off again :).

Very well.

Let us 'make it so':

Therefore, I remain standing where I had been, my stance loose and deceptively easy, but with my feet solidly planted on the ground.

This allows me to collect my thoughts, something which is best done silently, seeking that internal stillness with which it is better to focus, gather and direct a spell of sorcerous power.

Having gathered my thoughts, I take a step forward, extended fingertips of each hand touching the other - but palms separate - and murmur the incantation of the spell for Magic Missile, directing one dart at Ruffian Five, and the remaining two at Ruffian Two.

Syllin: 2
Syllin: 3
Syllin: 2

You deal 3 points of damage to Ruffian 5 and 7 points of damage to Ruffian 2.

The ruffians cried in pain and shouted obscenities at you.

@Huntn You're up!

This is a serious spell; are those (feeble sounding, or seeming) statistics entirely accurate - now that @Don't panic does not appear to be around to confirm or otherwise how lethal a strike can be?

Slightly below average :(.

At least we know they have at least 19 hit points (ruffian 5 has 18 points of damage on him and he's still up).

Dalo (@Huntn), if you attack, you might want to finish off ruffian 5.

Every single strike is - or has been - scored as 'slightly below average'?

That is supposed to be a serious spell, capable of doing some real damage to "ruffians".
