Got a new kitten and it died unexpectedly. Mother in law diagnosed with breast cancer, they think it’s early stages but need to pass one last test to be sure, and I’m behind on school but almost done. Life has been rough lately. I’ll be back in a week or two though.

Thanks for your patience everyone. Life kicked me in the face a bit but I'm crawling back from it. My mother in law has surgery in a couple weeks and if the biopsies look good she'll be in the clear.

As for school, I graduated about a week ago. Did 2+ years of work in 4 months, 21 days. It felt like sooooo much longer. But it's done. I have a lot more to do and learn on my own before I can get a job in the field I want, but at least I don't have deadlines breathing down my neck. I'm going to try to get back into posting twice a week now. Thank you eternally for your patience and support. You're awesome.

You're awesome, for constantly sticking with this as well as you can for a decade despite everything. I've seen many campaigns fall under far better circumstances.

indeed

That's so freaking nice. Thank you!!! :) :) :)

CONGRATULATIONS RAKNESH!!!!!!!!

So, looking back on the rules from a million years ago, I realized two things: First, gosh I used to be strict! hahahaha! That no swearing thing is particularly amusing considering I have loosened up on that in real life!

Second, it has always been my rule that two natural 20s in a row is a quick kill, or, to be fair, it's a -9. Since the other arrows hit too, however, Nylok is well and thoroughly dead. In all my years GMing, I've rarely run across 2 nat 20s. The only time I've had it happen on RPOL was me rolling against a player. That turned out interesting. So, long story short, well done Raknesh! You just kicked some major booty.

Nice! I live how Raknesh originally wanted to get the hell outta there and forget Nylock. And then is like “okay but let’s make this fast!” :D

Alice did it several times in that other game, my dear.

Yeay me ^^

Indeed, for a 1/400 chance it does seem to happen far less often. Excellent shot!

In reply to Bryon (msg # 51):

Wow, did you really? Actual 2 nat 20s in a row? Lol, it’s been a while but that’s starting to come back to me, come to think of it, lol. I do recall you absolutely decimating those poor witches! >:D

In reply to Artemis (msg # 54):

Yup, that was what I was thinking.

Do dead bodies count as creatures? Important question since only creatures can benefit from Flees The Scene.

Undead and constructs are considered creatures, I'd consider a freshly dead creature to still have enough living matter to be a creature with the status of Dead for a while until it becomes an object, similar to how Revivify has a short window to work on the recently-dead.

We still have some room in the bag of holding, no?
With the Witch ^^

Oh I forgot about the bag of holding! Lol stuff that guy in there! :D

Lol! Ah the wacky conversations one has in D&D.

I did not dare answer to that last question^^

Ah, a bonus for admitting to killing her best man. Prizzard is oblivious enough to fall for that trap, somebody may want to cut off his response!

But is it a trap? With a poor sense motive, Raknesh can't guess which is true ^^

I can't remember nor find if we asked for the pearl as payment?
If not, it could be the 'bonus' she proposed ^^

I was thinking the same thing. Worst case we can trade the talisman. Who could say no to that?! Also I had to do some serious scrolling to remember what it was we even wanted from her :d We haven’t mentioned an interest in the pearl yet.

So... Unless there is an objection, Raknesh will introduce the demand for the pearl as the bonus she mentioned.

Go for it! Just be sure to roll a diplomacy....

Hum.... THAT might be troublesome...

Considering the situation at the time Nylok was killed, even retrieving his head was a little dangerous. Or did yall squeeze the whole body in that bag?
