That is not allowed at the home where we game at.  So we all have time out cups.  When I was living with my ex, our room was gaming central.  The group of guys who gamed (it was before I got into gaming) would ALWAYS leave their dice on the floor.  My ex got tired of stepping on them so we gave them warning if they didn't clean up after their next gaming session, then anything left on the floor would be ours.

They didn't think we would do it.  We did it.

Paul showed one of the guys what happened to his favorite miniature after he stepped on it at night, not knowing it was there.  That was all it took.  Next thing we knew, the guys were doing bidding wars to get their own stuff back.  The other guys wanted to get some things from other players, etc.  1 newly bought pack of complete dice (coordinated colors - pink and black) went for (2) 2 ltrs of soda (my favor kind because I liked the pink and black colors) and the promise to take our garbage for a month and they would buy pizza for the group for the next 3 gaming sessions.

I never had it so easy for the next three months!

That collection of dice that nobody wanted anymore was my first collection of gaming dice.  I figured if I had the dice then I should perhaps learn what they were used for.

Whatever works for getting more girls into gaming. :)

My daughter enjoys gaming, but understandably, I suppose (given her generation), she is more into X-Box video games than table-top stuff.

In reply to Arnan Aldwynne (msg # 46):

it was the dice as well as listening to the group for awhile and thinking "That didn't make sense.  I could do better than that."

:)

I will be traveling for work June 24 - 28 and, based on my previous experiences at this location, am anticipating limited internet access at the hotel. If I drop off for a few days, just know crappy wifi has conspired against me :)

Thanks!

Shane

This week is kicking my butt.  I will write for Thane tomorrow after work.

That said, can he get some healing?  He can heal himself with his healer's kit, so, Dal and Grim, if you want to use your spells for something else, just say so.  Just thought I'd ask before we head off against some more capable foes.

Morgrim does not have a good in combat heal. I have Goodberry for after combat, but I don't have Cure Wounds or Healing Word.

-First Circle-
1 Fog Cloud
2 Goodberry
3 Faerie Fire
4 Entangle
-Second Circle-
5 Heat Metal
6 Pass without Trace

Agreed this week has been hard to find time to post :)

In reply to Thane Harkensen (msg # 49):

I have healing word (bonus action)
Prayer of healing
cure wounds
preserve life - channel divity

I have used some of them already so I need to go back and see what is left.

As expected, I was unable to connect to the hotel wifi. I am starting to expect it may be an issue with my laptop wireless card. But, I am able to connect at home, so I don't know...

At any rate, I am back now, albeit a bit travel-weary. Look for a post from me tomorrow night, after work.

Thanks,

Shane

In reply to DM Shard (msg # 52):

Welcome back.

Sorry I did so lousy on that healing roll guys.

Oops.  Forgot that domain's of life get an extra +2 HP +2 spell level so that is an extra 4 HP Dal healed ya'll for (if you were a party member listed (including Henger) and within 30 feet.

In reply to Dalgura Ironhammer (msg # 54):

Yay!  11 hit points helps a lot!

I will post after dinner.  I can’t stand posting from my phone.

Working my post right now...

Shane,

I'm not sure I understand how the Goblin could attack Thane and then Disengage.  According to the rules, both of those count as "Actions", which are not the same as "Move".  Thus, by the rules, either the Goblin could not attack and thus use the Disengage action instead, or the Goblin attacks and then departs thus risking Thane's attack of opportunity.

Am I correct, or am I missing something in the wording of the rules?

Rob

Goblins have an ability called Nimble Escape that allows them to take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns.

Monsters don't always follows the same rules as PCs.

edit: If I had been playing them smartly, I would have had them strike and retreat throughout the encounter, but I forgot about the ability :)

Will post for Arnan tomorrow.

how far away are the cultists that are stuck with the vines? Or more specifically, are they within 60' of us.

also they are at a disadvantage for some things.  I don't have to roll to hit them but they have to roll for a dex save.  Would their dex save be at a disadvantage?

Yes and Yes.

Restrained creatures have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws.

In reply to DM Shard (msg # 61):

Thank you!  It makes sense that would be answer but some things that sound sensible aren't.  LOL.

Bill: Dalgura healed 11 hit points on all party members, to include Arnan, with her Prayer of Healing spell.

Wonderful! I didn't realize that her magicks healed the entire party. Thanks to the both of you :)

In reply to Arnan Aldwynne (msg # 64):

I can only do that skill like once until I rest :)

so don't go getting too much injured until I can rest.  I'm running low now.

Understood. Arnnan'll be as dodgy as he can. :)

Shane,

Are all of the visible foes now dead?

Thanks?

Yes. It looks like that is correct.

Shane, how many people can fight side by side in the hallway?
