Thankfully I didn't need the extra d4 this time for the Dex Save but glad she should be able to utilize it for the Death Save.  Since she just went unconscious again, I wait until the next round to do the Death Save ... right?  *desperately trying to prolong things*

In reply to Morgrim Ironhammer (msg # 294):

Remind me what inspiration does?

Reroll any d20

Technically you will make the Death Save at the same time as your Dex saving throw. The lightning damage occurred on the Ice Witch's turn, so your turn is now up, in which Kira is unconscious and making death saves...

Somehow I totally failed to write that down.  Anywhere.  Thanks, Grim!

EEEEK!  I was cringing as I clicked "ROLL" and oh my goodness she saved again with a nat 20!!  Bless her little heart!!!

I think Kira might be the chosen of Tymora with rolls like that! Good job!

Dal thinks that Kira is lucky but also is thanking Sharindlar's blessings upon her.  Not to mention you other two.

Sorry I'm not in combat but think it is important that I keep concentrating to have the bless stay up.  An additional d4 for attacks and saves is good right now I think.

Concentrating doesn’t take an action :) you can still cast as long as the other spell doesn’t also have the concentration tag!

Sacred flame is fine.

In reply to Morgrim Ironhammer (msg # 303):

Thanks brother.  I'll try sacred flame this time as well as concentrating.  Hopefully she won't dodge it.

The statue probably has the worse dex save and finishing it off frees up Hengar and Thane. I’d try to kill it this round. It doesn’t have much health left. Morgrim will be fine for another round.

Kira’s tough!  Thane was right to pick her out of the crowd :)

Jeez, Morgrim's one tough Damage-Sponge. And he can deal out the Damage, too. Glad that he's on our side!! :)

In reply to Arnan Aldwynne (msg # 307):

Yeah, that's my brother.  It's not only his head that is thick.  :)  Gotta love him.

That’s basically all moon druids are :) Two wildshapes per rest, and a few utility spells to keep them interesting.

Got lucky again, not as lucky as the other two times but hey!  So far she's hanging on ... though you all probably heard her squeak out something that rhymes with duck ...  >.>   <.<   >.<

Don't forget you are still covered on saves from the Bless Kira.  :)

I haven't and glad it's there if I need it!  So far I've not had to use it but her luck can't hold out forever so my fingers are crossed you all take the biddy out or my next two rolls save too.  :)  Just taking a little nap like the queen she dreams of being on day.  LOL!!

16:14, Today: Morgrim Ironhammer rolled 22 using 1d20+1d4 with rolls of 20,2.  Dex save.

Natural 20 on my dex save chief. Can I chose to fail it and protect Kira instead?

Sure

Done. Morgrim takes Kira's damage.

Dal, reminder that I handed off a healing potion to you in the last chapter. I don't think it ever got used. Resuscitating Kira would be a good use of it I think :)

Dal, the Ice Witch is dead already.

In reply to Thane Harkensen (msg # 316):

Eh, maybe Dal *really* didn't like her. :)

Yes but since I couldn't give a healing potion to Kira because of a missed dex save, and I could do my healing as a bonus action but only if I could cast a cantrip with cast time of 1 action (which sacred flame does).  So I cast my cantrip so I could cast my bonus action spell.  :)

And yes Arnan, Dal REALLY doesn't like her.

Shane,

Is the updraft that the adventurers rode up to the Sanctum still functioning, now that the temple is starting to collapse?

If so, perhaps there is some way to reverse the winds so that they can be ridden down to the lower level.

If not, a more mundane way of getting down may need to be used -- such as tying a couple of lengths of 50-foot rope together, tying off the end, and climbing down.
