Looks like most of the non-dwarves are finding melee fighting too hard on the body ;(

Morg may have to try and recruit some of those knights to join him and Zora up front.

Morg will keep Reszur for now (but not throwing it, since he doesn't want to face Dwee's wrath should it get lost), but will pass it onto Zora if he starts to trust her and if she doesn't have darkvision (aasimar?).

Should the remaining originals each keep 1 of the Mirabar trade bars? They may come in handy when looking for the delegation.

In reply to Morg Danforge (msg # 47):

Human, so ... nope! But definitely hang onto it for now.

Couple of ooc questions before I post.

First, I forgot to put two domain spells I get at level 3 on my sheet. Shatter and gust of wind. Could you add them? Can they be available this fight?

Second, assuming sister is available, how many birds can I catch with it assuming a sphere that misses my companions, especially morg! Those bird were no joke to him?

Whether the shatter thing works or not I'll be throwing 1d4+3 healing word at him with my bonus action and if shatter doesn't with swinging war hammer at one.

"'Tis but a scratch. I've had worse. It's just a flesh wound." ;)

I'm also gonna hold off a while before I post, to see what the field looks like. So many cool options as a battle master (it's not meta gaming, it's a "precision attack"! :)).

Mayon, you can indeed also use Eldritch Blast this round.

Nope, you should have used just 1 level 1 slot so far.



Yup, good catch, I can add them. They're available during this fight.



They're small birds and pretty well engaged with Morg. It would be pretty much impossible to use Shatter and avoid hitting Morg and/or others engaged in melee with the birds.

Holy, Rezsur is a preeeety good weapon in Morg's hands!

Except for that last swing...

I've made a correction to my post: I initially wrote that I only dropped 1 handaxe as my free action, but I meant to write both after I realized that 2nd wind would prevent dual wielding.


I think that +1 to attack will be more useful to Zora at the moment (until her strength catches up to Morg's), eventho we both prefer our more damaging warhammers.

Which used my precious action surge no less, and can't even be fixed by a Precision attack maneuver.

Is morg 18 strength? Did you make level 4? Going to be quite a while before I catch that!

Morg's a bit stronger than the standard mountain dwarf (yeah). He's only very recently perfected his battle maneuvers tho (no, 3rd).

DM, can we ask each other IC about what the other PCs plan to do for level 4? E.g. [Private to GM: "Zora, do you plan to focus on religious studies, strength training, or a specialized achievement?" (Should I also make more rolls secret eventho in a face-to-face game they'd be open?)] (private to DM example question) to prevent overlap, or is that too meta-gamey. The battle master has quite a few meta-gaming options, especially when combining  level 7's Study your enemy's AC option with the Precision strike maneuver.

I think it's ok to ask other players about plans like that, though you should at least be able to justify choices in the context of your own character - not just that it gives you a powerful combo with a party member.

Of course, you're all now advancing in experience together as a group, so it seems natural for you all to individually advance in ways that are complementary to each other and to the team as a whole.

Zora, just noticed - you get to add +5 to your warhammer attacks to hit rolls. Not that it matters on a crit ;)

If I don't get a feat (war caster seems almost necessary) I'll probably boost wisdom. Strong is good, but can't ignore the main job!

Honestly, same. Mayon loses concentration constantly, so War Caster is definitely tempting, but I'd also love to boost my spellcasting mod up to a +4 instead of a +3...ah well. I'll play it by ear I guess. :P

Oh yeah, we gotta kill the sleeping ones too, don't we?

Yep.

Zora, do you see the map thread at least? The map itself is in Google Slides, which you might not be able to view on mobile.

Yes sorry was just looking I the wrong place (game map).

For the next few days, I'll be checking in periodically - if there's anything you want to do/say/etc. before Day 6 go ahead and post and I should be able to reply at least once a day.

Yeah, sorry, the holiday has grabbed a hold of me already, and by that I mean I'm being quasi-kidnapped on a road trip unexpectedly, lol

Ruh roh. Mastering the element of air....isn't this adventure about elemental cultists?? LOL!

They seem like nice elemental cultists though.

Dragging my feet a little while the private dialog with savra and asano plays out. Might skip an update round or two, but still here!

Same here, honestly. Mostly just wanted to say that Mayon's awake and now has an invisible emotion-sensing scout on his shoulder :P He doesn't have much to add to the current conversation.

...I need to name his familiar come to think of it.
