>When will Alice learn to read?
Damn, I read it first and thought Ashley had spent her turn then read it again and thought this was still in last round so she could attack with me. It's unusual for her to go first, usually she's last.

Yes, I grapple/shove with DEX as monk as per PHB2024. It would be pointless with my STR.
It's fine how things turned out but remember I can only have a maximum of 3 actions (1 action + 2 bonus actions) with Flurry of Blows for 1DP, never 4. Grappling is the action, shove first bonus action, unarmed strike second. Also I used 1DP in the first battle and I need a short rest to regenerate 1DP which didn't occur. So I'm out of DP now.
Oh btw I thought a prone grappled creature cannot stand up?
A prone creature who is grappled cannot stand from being prone. Because their movement speed is 0, and you cannot stand from being prone while your speed is 0.
So you gotta break the grapple first or you can't stand up. That's the whole point of the grapple-shove prone combo.

Seriously, I was very forgiving until now but if that damn dragon tries to poison or bite me or Ashley again I will splash her with Cat's 2 remaining Alice cocktails and set her on fire. What kind of 'assist' is this? The goblin leader is done for. No reason to listen to him anymore. She's a Big Girl and will be able to take a bit of pain for 1 round in turn for her freedom, right?
