I got to play again yesterday and I literally shocked everyone with my ability to dash across the entire board.
We got attacked by zombies and since the Paladin I was fighting with got frightened and ran off, it was me against a bow user skeleton, a melee skeleton (yes, he was in range of me, stabbed me twice.), and a zombified ogre that was twice my size.
The rest of my party was on the other side of the board (like 60 feet away), and decided that they were gonna retreat when they saw the paladin running away. So they run to this tower we were heading to and realize they left me behind because my turn is AFTER everyone's. My DM was like, "And now you've left the tiny bard elf with small legs behind to fight the oncoming zombie horde by himself. Hope you're happy."
I counted the space between me and the tower provided I go around the enemies, 90 ft., my friends were around 65 ft. away. So I asked if it was okay if I dashed if I used a bonus action to shove the melee skeleton. DM said "Sure, good luck."
I rolled a 20, pushed the skeleton, and Seventeen ended up just running 70 ft, passed the rest of the party, and stopped right infront of the tower.
My DM was like- "Wait, why can you run so far??"
"I made him with the singular thought that he's gotta be able to hide and/or run away at any given moment."
"...and so when you're about to mourn the loss of your friend, you just see him screaming and bolting past you. You'd better be happy because he was gonna die if he didn't go so far."
Then we realized that one of our party members knew the zombies personally and he got interrogated by the same Paladin. Seventeen just started healing people, then noticed something odd, screamed "DRAGON", and attempted to go hide again.
Thank goodness we didn't have to fight a dragon.
