How will you do this surprise attack? Again, if you're too high, the wind and them moving will make it impossible to aim. If you're too low, you can't really surprise them, or get enough damage potential out of it.

Plus, lead isn't cheap, and that's a really roundabout way to attack that isn't guaranteed to work by any means.

Also, did the damage I took take into account my DR? I have a hard time believing it did, no offense, since Kobolds are small and really bloody weak. 1d6+1 damage(12 Strength) would be the minimum if they're using spears, and that would make these some pretty damn strong kobolds.
No, in the same way that I'm not going to be telling Remuthra how much HP he regens each round. I mean, I can if you like, but I'd assumed that you can manage that, in the same way as I'd expect people to keep their inventories, AB, saves, &c. at least mildly similar to what they're actually supposed to be. In line with that, I'm not actually going to intentionally skip something like a temporary buff, but if it isn't mentioned at all here or IC or in the appropriate section of the relevant character sheet, I might not notice it.

Heck, the only reason I'm doing rolls for PCs is that it feels like much less of a hassle than a bunch of back-and-forth with InvisibleCastle, not to mention that it makes for less immersion-breaking regarding things like failed spot/listen checks -- though not as much as PMing people whose characters make their checks the relevant info, but again, practicality vs. quality of experience.

That's the biggest downfall of PbP, I think, that it's much harder to create appropriate segregation of knowledge (or quality of presentation) without taking an absurd amount of time for what could otherwise be accomplished with a pencil, some graph paper, and twenty minutes of pre-session prep work.

Messaging Immaterial about positioning -- part of the reason I didn't bother updating the map yet is because he's not going to be able to see it regardless.

Do I get to cleave?
Sorry, missed that question. No; the initiatives were identical, since I rolled the base init by groups for the enemies, but given the circumstances (at least one would need to move past Tradok in order for all of them to engage), I rolled tiebreakers for their order within the group behind the scenes, and the one that rolled highest "got" to try to move through your threatened range.

Update up soonish. Lots of RL shit to do in the category of "I don't particularly want to, but I can't wreck my future."

Hope everything's okay Dice.

This game seems like fun and I'd hate for it to die before my racist dwarf can make an ass of himself in every city on the continent.

Don't worry, it will happen eventually. Probably this coming weekend once all of my most pressing (aka THIS IS DUE TOMORROW AND IF YOU DO NOT TURN IT IN YOU WILL FAIL YOUR THESIS AUTOMATICALLY. YOU NOW HAVE A RANDOM-ASS TEN PAGE PAPER DUE IN FOUR DAYS. &c.) deadlines are over with.
