I need 128 experience points and a long rest and then I can!

Ah, again, my bad for not keeping track.

I will amend my turn appropriately. She does not want to go back underground without being able to see without announcing their presence, but I'll say she changed her mind about going back down to where they'd been before. "go deeper underground," in other words.

Apologies everyone, but let me paint you a picture as if this were an in person game: the GM and I have moved away from the table to whisper to each other and I just said 'fuck' loud enough for everyone to hear.

Hahahaha.

DM, if I use my action to cast a spell, can I use my bonus action to fire my hand crossbow (and were I to hit, of course it wouldn't have my stat bonus for damage)?

I didn't post a turn waiting for an answer to my question, but it's moot, I suppose, if they've come into view?

Sorry, I didn't see your question... No, you would not be able to make an attack as a bonus action after casting a spell.

I wasn’t clear - don’t want to attack, just release the light carrying bolt down the tunnel

Do I have any sense that those arrows didn't hit as hard as they should have? There's not much I can do about it, but I'd at least let the rest of the group know.

Alisandra, still no.

Lucien, the damage was less than you expected because Sneak Attack didn't apply.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 120):

Oh, right. Duh. Thanks.

I'm not using the advantage from my familiar's Help action this turn. So that's up for grabs for someone else.

I paused the round, mostly for Sylviel's benefit--the mind flayers are both out of range of the spell you intended to cast (bane). Let me know what you want to do, Sylviel.

Everyone else, hold tight.

Sorry, I'd been left with the impression they had advanced to within 30ft?

Can I advance far enough TO get in range for the spell or how far are they out at this point?

Per my last post, the first one is 65 feet away, and the second is 90 feet away.

Then it's just advancing the line for I with shield ready.

Can you update your last IC post to indicate what you want to do?

Done and done.

How wide is the tunnel we are in?  Can I seal us off from it to buy us some time?

The area between the party and the mind flayer is 160 feet wide.

If the Farie Fire connects, I get to roll with advantage as Jinx goes first.

I'm waiting for Lorrain to post his actions before I proceed. Hopefully, he'll post this weekend.

I know they've been in a rough spot on and off, hope they are well.

Working on a post now. So earlier this week there was a shooting of three police officers by an inmate they were taking to get treatment at another hospital so things have been a bit crazy at the hospital where I work. Like...I just...have no words...

I'm so sorry.

I don't work in a hospital, but I do provide crisis services at a walk-in clinic. I very much get it. Please take all the time you need.
