The exit in the east wall is just an opening into another narrow tunnel; there is no door. There is nothing in the room that could be used to block it easily. It is only wide enough for one person to pass through at a time.

And Fleur is no longer with us. :(

Sorry I should know this do we have a magic user in the party that may know a spell that might effect a large group possible sleep or something then we can tie them up while they are under the spell

Aisha can cast a sleep spell, but it is dependent on HPs (2d8) of the target creatures, which is probably only a couple of guards. Sorry, that won't be helpful in this case.

She can use the 'Create Bonfire' cantrip to block the exit though.

Yeah, sleep won't do us much good here. But the bonfire spell might work.

I'm just concerned about reinforcements coming through that door.

I think we should be able to take out everyone in the room, even though they outnumber us, as we have the element of surprise.

Well, it would be much easier if you paragons of virtue would let us just take few of them out before everyone else wakes up. :-P

I'm fine with trying to sneak past, too.

Bonfire for blocking the way is a good idea. Although, isn't sleep 5d8 (+2d8 2nd level and above)? Still it will not work on more than a few of them.

Sorry,  Aisha is level two, no 2nd level spells for her.

Inanah is correct; the base is 5d8 hit points for sleep, with the option to add 2d8 per level if cast with a higher-level spell slot.

And even with a really good roll, it will probably only knock out two or three of the cultists.

Sorry, still need to get more familiar with 5e spells. My apologies.

Hey, everyone! My computer crashed yesterday. :( I should have time to post something using my wife's computer tomorrow, but I won't be on as regularly until I get my computer replaced.

Ouch, that always happens at the most inopportune moment :(

Aisha, in 5e, when you crit on an attack, you don't need to re-roll the attack roll. Instead it just automatically doubles your damage dice. So if your spell deals 1d10 damage and you crit on the original attack roll (by rolling 20), then the damage of the spell would be 2d10.

Oh, that's neat... as long as it's us doing the crits and not the bad guys. :P

Thank you for the clarification :)

DM, I'm going to be tied up for awhile. Can you run Isolde as an NPC?

I got my new computer and have it set up now. I should be able to post later today. Thanks for your patience.

And yes, I will post for Isolde until you're able to come back.

I'll be back on board tomorrow or the day after.

Isolde, yes, our cleric disappeared without warning.

Perhaps she fell into the hole we just discovered ;)

How far are we from the villains?

The guards are standing about 100 feet away from the tunnel entrance. The half-dragon and the woman are about 10 feet behind them.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 489):

I'm assuming there is nothing to cover behind between us and the enemy?

Correct; there is no cover between you and the enemy.

I'll let you all have a surprise round. You'll have Advantage on your first attack. Go ahead and roll initiative and post your actions for the surprise round when you're ready.

Talik, if you can please roll initiative and roll for your attack, that would be great. Otherwise, I can do it for you. Either way, I'll resolve the first round tomorrow; I'm going to log off for the night shortly.

We're still waiting to hear from Talik and Hasan.

Isolde, Langdedrosa will act after you. He hasn't moved yet.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 493):

Ah. Okay, I edited my post. No attack this turn, so Aisha won't get advantage after all.

Sorry thought I'd posted.
