Ando nods.

“That’s probably my cue then, unless Zeliel is the stealth type???”

Ando is not naturally sneaky, but he’s Unarmored so has a better shot than the dwarf, and can see in the dark so has a better shot than the human.

What to roll?

Zeliel motions Ando forward.

By all means, you go right ahead.  I have never been accused of not drawing attention!

Ando Corleon rolled 10 using 1d20+7. stealth.
Ando Corleon rolled 10 using 1d20+5.  perception: listen.

Well that's not great

In reply to Ando Corleon (msg # 860):

Your not able to discern if there are sentries left behind. Gannor eyes the party. His look saying,"My guess is as good as yours."

Ando sits for a quick breather, looking at his companions.

“So, Master Zeliel, tell us more about yourself in case we all are about to meet our demise.”

More about me?  Certainly!  I was raised in a modest home...parents all loving and all that.  My heritage was never really held against me...I mean Celestial blood is not as shunned as some from...shall we say darker pasts?

Like many of my ilk, I trained under the clergy thinking that was my lot in life.  I was wrong.  It seemed the blood in my veins drew on a more arcane might and leaning, so I was thrown...I mean...i chose to leave the clerical order in other pursuits.  I travel the realms seeing where I might give a hand in matters.  And now I find myself here!

There is so much more to tell, but I have not heard any tell of any of my new companions either!  This is fun!  Who shall go next?

In reply to Zeliel the Fallen (msg # 863):

Everyone make a perception roll

OOC: 14:43, Today: Zeliel the Fallen rolled 23 using 1d20+3.  Perception.
Yep, that's a nat 20 on a perception check...maybe i will perceive the meaning of life....

Ando places a hand on Zeliel’s shoulder and closes his eyes.

'Everybody' everybody?

09:06, Today: Guthrir rolled 10 using 1d20+2 ((8)).

In reply to Zeliel the Fallen (msg # 865):


Stretching your senses outward you get the most solid perception that the orcs while brutes did in fact leave a sentry behind. You can almost hear its low breathing on this side of the door. Seeing the realization on your face Gannor's eyes narrow as he draws on the bow string to his bow. He looks around the room to each party member his eyes speaking for him.

Zeliel nods and summons forth arcane energy, ready to unleash it at a foe.  He looks at the others who may not have noticed and with his eyes tries to tell them the story of the enemy that awaits...waiting for one a little stouter to lead the way, once the enemy is truly revealed he will unleash his arcane attack.

"Right." Ando whispered. He pointed at Gannor and made a gesture suggesting he's a jerk for going ranged. The fighter should go first, but it's not a problem, Ando isn't an armored tank, but most enemies will find it hard to hit him.

Ando will attempt to open the door with stealth and sneak attack...probably not strong enough to put the orc in a choke hold.

Ando Corleon rolled 15 using 1d20+7 ((8)).

In reply to Ando Corleon (msg # 870):

I would say you have advantage.

The orc does not know your there.

Do you wish to reroll a D20 and take the highest of the two rolls?

Yes thanks. Got 26. That was stealth.

Next step is to try to choke hold/keep him from shouting for help, which figuring being a monk I can dex roll a choke hold but I rolled 10 on attack. Can I take advantage on my attack as well?

In reply to Ando Corleon (msg # 872):

I will allow it so yes.

what is that total now?

Crap that’s an 8 so 10.

Ando sneaks up on the orc but when he goes to knock the enemy out with a kung fu claw to the throat he merely manages to dent the ogre shoulder blade bone on the Orcs armor.

In reply to Ando Corleon (msg # 874):

Since you had advantage AND you played ,"In Character". I would suggest you use an inspiration point to reroll those dice. (Yes. Everyone starts will 2 auto inspiration points,...I forgot to mention that.)

and btw
Gannor rolled
 Gannor rolled 22 using 1d20+3 ((19))
but he is an NPC so,......

Most kind and gracious DM! thank you! I also realized I can roll twice when i do unarmed strikes, and I forgot to add proficiency, so I was doing a lot of bad last week. :0
17:51, Today: Ando Corleon rolled 9 using 1d4+5.  dmg.
17:51, Today: Ando Corleon rolled 26 using 1d20+7.  bonus unarmed strike.
17:50, Today: Ando Corleon rolled 8 using 1d4+5.  dmg.
17:49, Today: Ando Corleon rolled 21 using 1d20+7.  finesse atk (inspiration).
15 damage total.

Casting his doubts and fears aside, Ando strikes at the pressure points in the orc's neck.

In reply to Ando Corleon (msg # 876):

The orc grunts once sending spittle and mucus flying, before going rigid. It falls heavily onto the mud and flagstone floor,splashing on the small pools of water that have formed on the floor from the dripping ceiling overhead.

(Congrats! thats one orc down! and 100 XP divided among the # of people in the party, minus Gannor as I normally advance NPCs by the needs of the game VS points). What does the party do next?

is it too late to ask that my attack was non-lethal?

Ando begins dragging the orc's body back to the door to loot, interrogate and hide the body.

"I don't speak orc, any of you? Who has rope? Let's tie him up."

Guthrir grimaces as he pulls a coil of rope from his pack and hands it over.
"No, and any spells Ah might have that'd help are spent. We should probably just leave him."

Ando gets started tying up the unconscious orc. He nods to Guthrir. “Still a chance he speaks common and saves us lots of time if he knows anything. If not, be ready to...” And he puts his finger across his throat.

In reply to Ando Corleon (msg # 878):

None killing blow,eh? Ok. Roll a D20 adding any DEX bonuses to it. I am setting a DC of 12 to have not killed the orc. BTW everyone should check out the map of the caves I posted a while back to show what is explored so far.
(The party is in the northwesternly most set of cell like rooms on the map ATM.)

Oh snap! Rolled a 12!!!

Ando finishes tying up the orc. “I believe the pressure point here should wake him...” He squeezes a nerve on the orc’s  neck...
