The slaves are chained by the ankle to one another. One MM can break one segment of chain. Two MM would therefore be needed to free a single or small group of prisoners (although the small group would still be chained together- if that makes sense).

I can't see shatter- which I imagine acting a bit like the concussion blast from an explosion- being able to break chains without injuring those chained.

Cool, I agree with all of that. Thanks!

Are you all cool with Deepdelver hanging back and using his crossbow (2x attacks per turn), or would you prefer he join in on the melee? He's currently targeting the Drow Priestess (since she appears to be the leader) but he can switch targets on your (any PC's) command.

I've no objections.

I'm still catching up and away from my DMG, but WRT the sunblade - it is, in fact, a finesse weapon in my copy of the DMG.  "While the blade exists, this magic longsword has the finesse property."

Ah, yes. Good catch. The Roll20 compendium mentions it as well, but I missed it. It was intended for Nic so if you'd like to use it, by all means please do. I can amend Gronk's turn and associated rolls, so let me know. I don't think it'll affect the turn too much (but I'll add in the +1 damage x2 on the DP for you).

EDIT: I removed mention of the Sun Blade from Gronk's turn post.

I don't know if the sunlight effect will work if Nic is invisible, though. That's a tricky one. The rule on GI is that anything the character is carrying is also invisible- so that means the Drow can see the sunlight it is giving off. If, on the other hand, the sword is visible, Nic is, in effect, visible as well.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priestess?

Is there a 15 foot cube that Ulfgar could spider drop into from his current location that does not have any allies, but does have 2 or more enemies?

In reply to Ulfgar Frostbeard (msg # 530):

Not at this point.

Is there a place he could drop down to that doesn't have anyone nearby?

There aren't really any places where there is no one 60' feet away from a potential landing spot, but there are several spots where there is no one (alive) within 30' feet.

@ Rae - if I cast call lightning, then assume spider form can I?...

Since it's scientific, sure.

If any of you would like to take any actions or make any rolls before starting your long rest, that's fine. I can add the results to the turn post retroactively. At this point, however, taking action that would alter the outcome of the long rest (i.e. Amaldaris' disappearance and the long-rest's interruption) would be metagaming, and therefore verboten.

I'm thinking we should try to make some talk-talk with the Mindflayer prior to starting a straight up fight, especially given our current spell availability.

Corros can engage in some psychic parlay if need be.

I'm glad I checked the OOC thread before throwing a knife at it, then.

Do two half short rests = one long rest? i.e. we've just rested for four hours. If we rest for another four hours at another time does that then count as one completed long rest?

In reply to Jenna Drax (msg # 539):

See the entry for Long Rest.

Anyone else wanna negotiate?

In reply to Nicolai Romanelli (msg # 541):

Well, I tried.
Someday I hope a charisma of 20 comes in handy. ;)

I'm leaning towards fighting, myself, but if the consensus is to bug out...
Leaving Kerek behind seems like a really shitty thing to do.  Even if he is brain dead.

If you want to fight go ahead (as a Lawful Good Cleric following Arma's teachings I don't think I really had much choice in the matter) but fair warning I'm virtually out of spells.

I say we kill it with fire!

My plan here is to hit hard with everything we have.  I'm looking at blowing through both spell slots if necessary since I don't think we've going to have a lot of chances against stopping this thing.

Rae - approximately how far are these enemies from the party at the start of combat?
