Hmm. Would Orchid be able to see any weapons on the half-dragon? My plan, if I win iniative, is to charge in, use my shield to disarm, and with a free hand pick up the weapon using the object interaction to deprive my opponent of his weapon. I know he has a breath attack but hopefully I could dodge that for half damage. I dunno about half dragons, but I def know he can't use his breath Attack two turns in a row.

After that id toss the sword far away and I'd grapple him, knock him to the ground, and take my sweet time punching him in the face. Not the perfect plan, and I'd probably be dead at turn three, but it's what I got!
