Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

I PMed the DM asking if the hags had been coming down to feed me. I was going to respond that they didn't, but then... they were trying to feed the halfling, upstairs?

I can pretty much guarantee a sneak attack if you can get me Advantage, but I'm not sure that's going to be enough to cut it. I'm only a 1st level Druid, and I am unreasonably focused on fire spells for character reasons.

Setting the house on fire was my plan. The hags don't want to lose their house, and the PCs presumably wouldn't abandon another innocent victim to die.

Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

I hear shouting upstairs. I know my captors are home, and I don't know their other prisoners are restrained. Both sides would have a vested interest in coming downstairs and putting the fire out. This is why I didn't do it before today-- I could never be sure the hags were home.

Now Simon's stuck in the cage with me. One, I don't think he'll allow me to start a fire again, and two, cooperating with whatever plan he's cooking up is probably going to work better.

He is, after all, my All-Powerful Pocket Warlock and he still owes me three wishes.

If my init roll was not so bad, it would have saved Tara from that javelin.

And Grog would be able to automatically knock him prone, or push him 5 feet (into the water?) using the Shove action.

Fingers crossed he misses his save at the end of his next turn. UNless Tara wants to run up to him and throw a hip check! :-)

You were hit by the Ogre’s Javelin, but, yes, you can declare Shield as a Reaction. The Shield lasts until the start of your next turn, which will come in handy with the Initiative order.

If Irma counterspelled the Hex does that mean it is still on Connie?

Or just hanging about waiting for Simon to place it next round with his bonus action?

13 damage against Irma then, she still hopefully will fail her Concentration check so Jennet is freed.

I didn't understand your last IC post, who did Skye give the dagger to?

Jennet and Simon are in a tough spot with Connie and Granny ahead of Simon in initiative...could be the end for the warlock...again!

Any chance he can get his Action Surge back? He would know that the first hit connected and if it did no damage he would not repeat the same attack.

In fact, I will still burn the Action Surge, but how about a shove to try to knock it prone or into the river? At least it might work.

Because of what Granny IS, I’m ruling Yes.

Simon and everyone else in that fight has 1 more round to take Advantage on an attack vs, Granny Grimfiddle.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Most of us are in the holiday crunch, so I’m summarizing a few things you can expect as we conclude this campaign. You’ll all have some decisions to make as a group to bring closure to the ordeal with the Hags. For example, what does the group want to do about Connie? Simon opted for killing her and ending a threat. Lenelle seems to favor a stay of execution to gather more information. Both are valid choices here. There will be long term consequences either way, good and bad. I won’t punish any player or the group for whatever you eventually choose. This part will play out like the classic “Choose Your Own Adventure”. The group will carry on either way, but the path will change accordingly with the final decision.

There’s also the book that Connie mentioned, and the Lair itself to be potentially plundered. I’ll allow time for the searches. If you all want to save time, you don’t have to role play the search. I’ll accept rolls and summarize. Just tell me who’s searching for any loot or clues.

Also, Twigbit is calling in that favor from Cela. That part must absolutely be played out. For DM Reasons. ;-)

Finally, don’t forget about little Phoebe upstairs.

P.S., you all level up for busting up the Coven and chasing off Granny Grimfiddle. Congratulations!

Sorry to Tara and Cela for messing up the names, it's what I get for relying on my memory. Looks like the DM pulled it out with Twigbit's rant at Simon!

I'm OK with skipping roleplaying the search as we will likely tear the place apart!

Likely we will have to deal with Elise and Phoebe and Connie and Twigbit IC.

I am all for searching the place before we leave. As for the Connie, Skye is all for dealing with her later (Skye has used all her spells, been knocked unconscious and came back to escape and fight the coven - she's pretty tired)

She can either let the town decide or kill her later.

I really have to complement the GM on this game.  (fellow players, as well)

This all started in the OOC of another game, like "Hey - I've got an idea for a short D&D game, I think might be kind of ok.  Nothing fancy!"

Many months later:   Epic, multi threaded story, with engrossing plot, cliff hangers, villains you love to hate, and conundrums that just make you go Rrrrgg!!

This one was top D&D game of 2021, easy.

Oooooh, wizard found a tome!  Yeah, that's getting investigated.  And hit with Identify, because it might not actually be safe to read.

And now, access to all the tasty, tasty Lv 3 wizard spells!  Hindered only by the fact that I can't just TAKE HALF OF THEM because there are so, so many good choices!

What spells I take may be changed by what's available via the Tome, or any other loot; if nothing else changes it, I guess I'll take Fireball (as it's too good to not take) and Summon Shadowspawn, because looking at Tara's spell choices, she's always been just a tiny hint closer to the darkness than everyone feels comfortable with, and Shadowspawn are a pretty good summon.

That's good;  I'm definitely not going for fireball or lightning bolt, so it's good if you have it.

I'm only getting one, and the choices are bewildering.   I get to comb the cleric's list too, and Revivify might be nice, as insurance.   But, probably, not often useful.    I like Counterspell, and Dispel magic, too.    But, it'd be my luck, our next major enemy will have no magic at all!

I would like to help search, but I'm on bed rest for the next few days-- hopefully!-- and it's hard to post much/I don’t have my character sheet until I can go upstairs and use my office computer.

It's a serious concussion. I've been to the ER and had a CT scan and ruled out anything more dangerous or permanent, so it's literally a matter of avoiding heavy exertion or any risk of pinging my skull off of anything else, no matter how funny it would be.

One bright note in all of this, since I woke up this morning, I've sounded like an extra in a college production of Fargo and my bed rest is to persist until my vision, hearing, *** and speech*** have all "returned to normal". I have literal, certified medical instructions to stay in bed until my accent goes away.

I will make a point of having a discussion with Tara once the group is sitting in relative safety! Rituals, rituals, rituals!

And just to clarify to all the other PCs, while previous versions of Simon were somewhat snobby and condescending, he has never had the INT or the skill proficiencies to back it up!

After his near-death experiences with his old and new patrons (not to mention multiple lightning bolts, being stuffed in a bag, and nearly killed by hags); current Simon should be more accepting of his companions abilities.

Although, his sage background allows him to know bits of lore (DM's call) or know where to find that lore.

Speaking of Lore, the shrunken Hag’s head will test your character's expertise with it.

Since I mentioned Hags, here’s a suggestion for dealing with Connie: cast a vote for “Death” or “Mercy”. It can public or private. If we get a clear majority, you’ll appoint a representative to roll a Persuasion check in your next post addressing the people of Deadwater. If it’s a split, you’ll appoint “Defense” and “Prosecution” to roll a Persuasion check apiece. Laredon, Mercion, & the Baron will hear the case.

But before I cast his vote for sure, I will throw this thought out that occurred to me; we spare Elise, the daughter of Connie the Hag, hoping to have her raised to turn out good.

Yet we then execute her mother. I'm thinking that pushes back her rehab a few months!! :-)

It's making me think, anyways.

And on that note, a very Merry Xmas to all, and best wishes for a safe and happy new year.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Yeah, I can see that it's rough on Elise, but what else can we do?  We're not going to kill a child.  And if she's raised right, I genuinely think she can recover.  Yeah, it's going to take years.  That's what raising a child is all about.

...although it would be better to raise her in a different community.  One that wasn't under attack by the Hags, so her peers wouldn't know about her parentage.

It is possible, but there are never guarantees where individuals are concerned.   Evil people sometimes comes from loving families, and saints from broken, abusive ones.

But, it is Elise's best chance, and the right thing to do.   And moving her to a different community is definitely a good idea.

There’s also a decision for the group to make: do y’all want another adventure? I have at least two more in mind. You’re welcome to keep on if you want more. If anyone wants to step off, too, the Epilogue will be a good point. I’ll let your character go back to the ship, unless you express another preference (I.e., Sundos’ player wanted him to stay with Mercion).

Sometime back, I'd figured Lenelle was probably remaining in Deadwater, even if things had done the opposite, and led the group to depart to elsewhere for the next adventure.   (which, yes, would've meant a character change)

This is more convenient, and I'll be staying on.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

I'd be reluctant to pick one or two.

One of the things that made this game rock, was that you did a great job of making your world feel populated with diverse personalities.   This is one mark of a good GM, especially online.    Do the npcs feel like different people, rather than like the same dude(tte) over & over in different outfits?

If I had to pick:

Favorite - Adele Redfern.   Yes, who's been dead since the outset of the story!  For reasons I touched on in PM.   A very pervasive presence, at least for me, & my character.   I suspect Lenelle may one day co-perpetuate her legacy, depending how things roll...

Most hated -  Benny!  Yes, the Hags were gruesome & awful -- but their evil is the inherent kind.   Benny's a scum bag by choice who sold out his own just so he could own a bar!

Lenelle is right, the NPCs matter!

Welocme to all!

Simon's patron is a Djinn genie. It started as an efreet, but I changed it when I took Simon over, because I wanted to be able change his personality without "ret-conning" his story thus far.

There's a couple of way-too-long-to-read posts one the last page of the Chapter 4.2 thread which outline the impetus for Simon's change from jerk to not as much of a jerk. Only read if you are having trouble sleeping.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Yeah, Simon’s journey is one of many joys in this game! He had a difficult challenge of redeeming a very unpopular character, and turned him into a Fan Favorite. On that note, I’d like to challenge all of you to mix it up in your IC interactions. I want to see characters that we didn’t see interact much chat or team up against an enemy.

I’m also using Inspiration more in the next adventure. We started with it, and I let that one slip away. It’s a fun and handy incentive when the Adventuring gets crunchy (bone wise, not Dice).

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

As I almost always play Warlocks, I almost always play high Charisma characters. It will be interesting to play Charisma 8. Sskith will be a little awkward.

That said, I'm prone to overindulgent descriptions of my character, just paragraphs and paragraphs of what they are doing, why they are doing it, what their history was, and how they look doing it.

All surrounded by like... 2 sentences of dialogue.

Grog's first player was like that. Though, his dialog wasn't necessarily short, either

But, not in this game.  Rather the one Jennet's player ran, that several of us came from.     He had a much less verbose approach in this one.

Beijor, I can see you've got some working knowledge of music.   Do you play guitar, or other?

Other. I’m a bagpiper. Which means I have an octave +1 of musical knowledge. But then I’m not a very good bagpiper… the advantage of the pipes is that nobody but pipers can tell!

When I say you've got some working knowledge, I mean you certainly know more than me.   The only way I'd be able to tell the key, is to know the tonic, and then listen as to whether it sounded major or minor.   Which would be kind of challenging here.

Bagpipes -- there's an AC/DC song with those.   Name & the chorus is escaping me...not Highway to Hell.  Though that'd be funny!     I hear it is a hard instrument to play.

Cela's player had a drummer character in the other game.   Not sure whether she plays or not, but sounded kind of like she knew what she was talking about.   I've always wanted to play some game that centers around a band...   (contemporary setting, not medieval)

There’s a hint in there to let you know the key family, if not the tonic. :D

The pipes are more fiddly than they are difficult, I think. The tunes need to be in your fingers so you can focus on your breathing and marching. And then you’d better hope the air isn’t too humid or to dry or cold, hot, rainy, foggy, etc. in fact, it’s best if there isn’t weather at all. Lol.

Tara that book looks like it records everything that has happened in this swamp...we need to see if it mentions that masks.

Granny Grim's plans might have included inciting the lizardmen against the village and maybe the masks are part of it.

And maybe there is mention of this Abbatoir?"

Agree with a potion each - are they standard potions of healing or something different?

Monk's belt to Cela is no-brainer.

Animal Friendship ring to Lenelle, no issue.

Do we know what spells are on the scrolls? As Tara noted, Simon would like to add some rituals to his book. I assume if Tara copies them into her book, Simon can study them afterwards? I need to read the rules on rituals!

I don't see a Wand of Wild Magic but I do see a Wand of Wonder which involves rolling on a table of possible effects. I assume the Wild Magic wand uses the Wild Magic table instead.

Ring of the Ram provides a pushback attack.

If Jennet has a preference, he can choose if not, Simon will ask for the Ring (better to keep out of melee).

$$$:Found it! 450 gold split across 8 characters for dealing with the hags is 56 gold, 2 silver, 5 copper each. (Simon, Lenelle, Skye, Cela, Tara, Azatch, Grog, Jennet)

1200 gold for dealing with the lizardfolk.

Language groups are NOT active, I was just tagging where Simon was speaking in draconic (he is making the assumption that Lizardfolk speak draconic).

If Seth speaks draconic then he can answer...or not.

If he doesn't speak draconic then he could ask what the hell is the stupid warlock saying!

Well, the "stupid" warlock pieced together what the rest of us didn't.  He can find it in his heart to forgive you, I'm sure...

And, just for the record, this version of Simon was my referral to the game.   Though ironically, he'd earlier applied, and missed getting in by just a narrow margin.

I play with him in several games now.   And, this is the guy you call in, when you want clear thinking, strong role play, and no attitude/ego issues I've ever seen.

It's funny, I work as a recruiter in real life.  And I do lapse into that mode, sometimes w/o thinking about it!

Heh, with so many players it's easy for the conversation to get side tracked or moved past.

I'll clarify here:

1. Seth is having a conversation with Simon about black dragons, specifically the one his tribe is named after. That appears to be ongoing.

2. He took issue with Telric's suggestion that they go hunt a hatchling (especially as said hatchling had been abducted and then killed its captor), but is no longer sure the man realized what he was suggesting.

3. He got spooked by the geyser of obviously magical water and retreated down the hill a dozen paces or so.

Simon helped rescure Connor from the Hags, so Connor is grateful to Simon. And Simon considers Connor a fine young man or something like that.

When Simon said "Friend of yours?" he was referring to Beijor, of whom Simon has no real knowledge, at this point.

Let me say now that I’m enjoying these scenes! Lenelle & Seth’s trying to find mutual accord is needed step forward with several objectives in the story. I appreciate the swiftness that Telric, Tara, & Sprinkle jumped into their Alchemical task! They saw a need and got shit done!

On that note, not gonna lie, the Interrogation scenes might be one of my favorites so far in Volume 2!

Nicely done on all scenes, y’all!

Enjoy, Beijor!  Your last action was gutsy!

Because I went down in a tangle of limbs, how (or will) that impact my action?  Will it take an action to untangle?   I've got a tri-part to do list:

- I've something to ask someone, quickly
- Then I want to move to another character
- Cast a spell

Can I do that in my next post?   I can cast the spell as a bonus action, if need be.

I'm sure you know what you're talking about!  I'm fairly sure I need to move more than 15';

- Cast bonus action spell on arriving

I had a feeling the DM was taking Grog out of the show.

But for me, I'm really against changing the events and narrative, now that it's already happened.  Sprinkle reacted appropriately for her character, and I played Lenelle's reaction honestly as well; seeing someone who was badly injured; trying to give a slain ally a last chance.

It cost me a lvl 3 slot and 2 sorcery points, but I like how it was played out.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Sometimes things are important enough to respond to...

Simon:
Beijor: you can't Ready a bonus action spell, like Misty Step...and you can't cast two bonus actions spell on one turn either...

After review, I might appeal that “1 action” prevents spells with longer casting times, but recognize that it could also be done for balance reasons — to prevent exactly what I’m doing.

Then there’s also the two spells per round: only ever 1 spell + 1 cantrip. (But I’m casting it during my reaction the same way I’d be permitted to cast Shield, I might respond)

But the third strike: even if allowed to ready a bonus action, and even if allowed to use these two spells, the real problem is that readying requires concentration, so I’d lose Compelled Duel anyhow.

DM,
my action has been amended to take the Dodge action: if dragon fails his Wis save (lol not likely), he’ll have disadvantage against everyone until I lose consciousness or am more than 30’ away from him.

It's never been strict like that, on the player side.  You can post whenever.

However, actions get slotted in that order once the GM summarizes the round.  Which can mean if someone else obliterates the enemy you aim at before your turn, you wasted a spell.  Sometimes it serves to wait and see.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Regarding water breathing: Simon took Gift of the Depths as his new Eldritch Invocation.

It provides him with the ability to breathe underwater and grants hims a swim speed of 30 ft.

He can also cast Water Breathing once per long rest. This provides up to 10 creatures the ability to breathe underwater for 24 hours.

Grog: When I played your character I used his Dust of Dryness to create some "marbles" of water prior to the fight at the hag's lair. I thought it might come in handy to drop 104 TONS of water on the hags, but the opportunity did not arise!

If I recall I gave one to Tara and maybe Azatch and Grog should have one too. Probably won't help underwater - although I could see it creating some kind of pushing force, maybe. But on land they might be useful.

In reply to Grog (msg # 466):

Grog used 3 pinches of dust:

Chapter 4 The Witch House msg #136::
Grog stops at the bridge. He reaches into his belt pouch and pulls out a smaller pouch. He dips a finger and thumb into the small pouch, three times, and sprinkles what appears to be dust onto the river.

The water on the river seems to vanish for a moment before being filled in by the current. The minotaur then picks up what look like three small beads.

He hands one bead to Tara and one to Azatch.  "Smashing the bead will make a huge amount of water appear. I think smashing it above the crone might wreak havoc on her!"


So, Grog and Tara should still have a bead with them.

Hi folks.

Sorry for the silence from my end. My family lost an elderly member yesterday. This was long in coming, and relief is mixed in equal measure with our sadness at her passing.

The next few days will be busy for me, so Beijor will be officially quiet for the time being. Please imagine him inserting an occasional bon mot into the conversation. Since Simon announced his desire for attention along with Tempest, Beijor probably applauded Simon proposing a threesome. Beijor would have lauded it in a tastefully lurid alliterative hexameter.

Cheers. See you when I get back.

In reply to Grog (msg # 477):

Kids like Grog, and he has a soft spot for them...so the bones would have been very upsetting to him.

In case you haven't checked the Loot thread:

Lenelle, Cela, Tara, Jennet, Grog, and Skye, each earned 33 gold and 3 emeralds each.

Also, there are a couple of items that have not been claimed. The only one that can obviously be used in combat is the bell that casts Toll the Dead 1/day. I hope someone will claim that.

There is the Candle of Darkness that Simon can carry, although I don't know if it will have any use against the dragon.

Finally all PCs, including the four newbs get 1 potion of healing to carry.

DM: Did we have time to identify all of the items (shrunken head, eye in jar, petrified kobold hand, etc.)? If so, some of those might be useful.

DM: Does the extra-dimensional space in Simon's ring count as being "on his person" for purposes of casting from his Book of Shadows? I'm guessing not, but thought I would ask.

In a pathfinder game, at one time I played an Undine cleric.

I did have the darkvision --  and am surprised the genasai in 5e don't have it.  It'd only make sense for any deep water being.  Probably a balance thing, I guess.

But, for any swimming I did have to remove the armor & equipment.  The laws of physics were very much in operation...

Simon, there’s still time to figure out the mystery items. Arcana checks should cover it. You will also discover the item abilities even if you don’t pass the Arcana check. The eye in the jar just follows you when you walk. That’s it.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

The town recently opted for cremation to avoid repeated attacks of opportunity from the undead. Bones should be okay for burial. A funeral rite for children might be more low key than Azatch’s affair, but no less solemn. More flowers and candles for their souls.

I did a quick search through the old threads, but came up empty.

Does anyone recall that Miriam explicitly called out Connie? Or am I succumbing to my age? :-) I am sure that Miriam thought very poorly of Connie but I cannot find any posts about it.

I will wait to see if anyone remembers, and I will hold off on my next post until tomorrow.

You are right Simon;  I should've had Lenelle remember that, but I'd forgotten.

She didn't want Connie around Elise at all, and told Lenelle it was because she was a 'whore.'   So, there's definitely been a change of tune!

I love Dr. Strange, but mostly from earlier Marvel works.  Wasn't happy with the first movie, but only because it wasn't my Dr. Strange.  The trailer for this one looks more promising, so we'll see.

Happy hearts to everyone!

It's all coming back to me...I remember watching them, and trying to piece it together at the time.  I knew early on something was up with that necklace, that it wasn't incidental.

I need to review the first story again;  so much has happened in the second, already, it's pushed some earlier stuff out of memory.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

What level of detail do you need? A general outline that only covers the major plot points, or subplots included, too?

Lenelle:
Lenelle was about as ready as she could be for whatever came next.  Despite wishing so much the Hags could've been the end of Deadwater's immediate woes.   She wasn't the best fit for what lay ahead.   And, she missed the original group, as well. These strangers were brave, very competent, probably even more powerful.

But they were strangers, and she missed those who'd begun to feel more like friends, who would not be with her on this outing.


Wow. That’s right! Only four characters remain from our very first group: Lenelle, Cela, Grog, & Simon! You, Cela, & Tempest are the only remaining OG Players (Tempest was our first new recruit as Skye). OG Simon had his infamous meltdown, Sundos left because of RL, and we’ve gone through 4 prior versions of Grog! LOL

I’m grateful for our new players, who are kinda reminding me of the “Cap’s Kooky Quartet” lineup change in classic Avengers comics!

I think of this kind of like Game of Thrones.   Key players/characters can disappear or meet horrible fates, but the show goes on!

We've got at least two people with Mind Sliver.  That's a solid boost for hitting with Save-based attacks.

...I'm vaguely thinking, for Tara, Round One is Mind Sliver (for whoever wants to first try that Save effect) plus Hex, if range allows.

And after that, if Hex is still up, it's going to be all about upcasting Magic Missile.

I haven't forgotten about the items!  I was just only thinking in terms of spells, when I did my explanation.

I also got the 'Ring of the Dryad,' when we were in the Grove (before your time), which gives me a little extra healing capacity, 1x per day.

Oh, yes...and I've still got a fire elemental gem, given to me by Captain Amara at the start of the game.

As in you break it, and one comes out.  Not one I can control, as I understand.  Kind of a weapon of last resort.  Don't try it at home, etc.

Hmmmm. If the party is between the water and the dragon, tossing that gem behind the dragon might be useful!

If anyone has any actual strategies to consider please throw them into the IC thread. I'm grasping at straws!

Fighters, and Telric, approach front line of dragon. Staying within 10 feet of each other and Higgins. Everyone else after getting temp hp from higgins spreads out. Staying back and away. We keep the focus on us, and if the dragon tries to go after casters we hit with various OAs. If we are fighting in a cave that means no flying for it.

I've got one chance at restraining it, which I will try to use when it gets close. If that fails, I may call for a fly spell, so that I can grapple it and bring it down. Like any other plan, it's likely to fall to pieces the second we roll initiative, but it's an option.

Do we have any knowledge of this dragon in regards to treasure? Has it shown up before and bragged about anything, taken anything that we know of, any rumors or knowledge of what kinds of things it likes or might possess?

We might not know where it's hoard is, but if we know what it likes or something it is rumored to already possess, we might be able to draw it out either with an enticing addition, or with the fear that we have already found and looted it as we have something it supposedly has stashed in its lair.

Just tossing it out there, since I'm new and don't know what we do or do not know.

All good questions!

The dragon was taken as a hatchling to the Feywild by one of the hags. Since times moves differently, it is now older than it should be in our world.

I don't think anyone knows much about this particular dragon. Although It's grandfather enslaved some lizardfolk...and it's parent is the one that Mercion and Pockets killed two years ago.

Maybe Seth might know something - and Mercion and Pockets might have looted the parent's lair - but that would be assuming the offspring has the same tastes as the parent/grandparent.

If my teenage daughter is any indication, that is not the norm!!! :-D

"Really? Your magic has always seemed to be more intuition than rote...


As I mentioned, I've really played up the untrained, intuitive caster angle with this character.   That's why she has no arcana.   It would make more sense for her not to be able to use them.

However, mechanically speaking, pretty sure I can use scrolls that have spells from my spell list, which is big, since it's both the cleric and sorcerer list.

I know a smaller number than other classes.  So once in a while, it would let me cast something a little different.

Awesome, I just wanted to be sure, it's so hard to convey tone and intent over text. Far too easy to escalate on this medium, you need to be much more intentional to make it clear that isn't what you're doing. I live in constant fear that I come off as a massive prick online. So I try and overcompensate by using exclamation points and emojis, as well as doing check ins OOC to make sure I'm conveying intent properly.

Seth has no healing potions, but as he was pacing around like a grumpy toddler rather than attending the ceremony, and I don't he was there when they were being handed out.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Really?

With the threat of eating them?   Because that sounds exactly like what lizard men would tell impressionable bullywugs about the dragon they've set up as a false deity.

And that it's a physical threat, implies it lives in this world.

But, sorry about that Beior;  when I first read the GM post, I thought the Bullywugs said it was the lizard folk's god, and not theirs too.  If I read it right the first time, I probably would've done something else.

I'm betting they serve this god out of fear, though. And in FR lore, these races don't share the same god.   The Bullywug have their own.  I know because in another game, we had to bust up one of their BBQs!

By "our" I was reading it as a single god for both.   I don't think the BWs would belive the LF can command their own race's god.  Of course, I've been dead wrong before..

Water Breathing: Duration: 24 hours

This spell grants up to ten willing creatures you can see within range the ability to breathe underwater until the spell ends. Affected creatures also retain their normal mode of respiration.

Sorry, just need to clarify....round 1 Simon casts his water breathing spell, somewhat out of initiative order, so Sprinkle will get the benefit of advantage, from Lenelle's Guiding Bolt?

Or did Simon's water breathing go off before initiative and he will go after Lenelle in round 1?

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Normally you can't grapple something that's more than one size larger than you.
The picture makes it look like it's Huge or maybe Gargantuan so I think most of us aren't allowed to try.  I was wondering if Grog would be able to do it and at first glance minotaur monsters are large but the playable race is medium so... I don't know what his sheet says.

Normally escaping is an action with a contested roll (the escapee makes athletics or acrobatics and the grappler makes athletics)

The Entangle spell is something different than grapple.

You cannot have a "working relationship" with an abusive person. I've been abused, and I won't put up with it, either IC or OOC.

Sprinkle:
Beijor really did act like that sea elf eel, and it was no wonder her sister had taken a dislike to him.


... particularly not while being gaslighted into thinking it's my fault for the abuse. "He had the death threat coming for calling her 'Ice Princess'" doesn't wash, and if you've been in half the circumstances you created for your PC you should know that. "You shouldn't have taunted the fighter!" Right. Because the correct response to being a literal princess who is cold to others when called "Ice Princess" is to talk about punching him in the face on multiple occasions before threatening to behead him. What the hell is wrong with you?

But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm the asshole. Well then I'm happy to solve that problem, too. Tempest, gaming with you has been unpleasant, and I've no wish to continue. Congratulations, you win.

DM, please feel free to do with Beijor what you wish; I think he would make a superb NPC antagonist.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

I’m really unhappy to wake up and see this drama.

More accurately, I’m pissed off. I created this game as a fun distraction when a game I played in was delayed n because of some serious RL concerns for that DM. The game took on a life that I never expected in a pleasant surprise.

We ran into a near-derailing because of a prima donna with an ego bigger than a Tarrasque. We survived that bump, and ultimately got a superb player out of the deal. Now, we’re dealing with another derailing because of bickering, in-fighting, and players feeling threatened. Beijor isn’t the only player who wants to leave over the turns our game is taking.

I’m so fucking furious right now.

I’m working today, then I’m going back through the threads to see where everything went off the rails. NOT happy about any of this.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

All right my side of this unfortunate story is this.

I've learned a long time ago to let players play their rp, and that there are limits on how much to push our own rp.

What I was trying to do is to defuse the situation and give a RP way out to Tempest to explain her unjustified attitude towards beijor, by linking it to a invented char in our collective past to make her realise that yes beijor is similar to that char she's angry with BUT IS NOT THE SAME PERSON.

You will note that Sprinkle did not insult Beijor in any way, simply saying that the unnamed npc is a smooth talker with a way with words, a broad paint brush that can be applied to half the bards in D&D.

What the player behind beijor did not see is my private line to Tempest, asking her to calm down in a RP way... but what I did not know is the private message from beijor to Tempest, calling her a icy coward if she didn't follow up with her threat, BEFORE Sprinkle went to see him the last time.

I do not like conflicts IRL, there's enough drama going around to avoid it in games that are supposed to be fun.

I apologize if my RP attempt to defuse a RP conflict in a believable manner backfired.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

I'm going to completely and totally stick up for Tempest's player on this one.

I had my own run in with Beijor's player...who PMed me (to his credit) about what his character intended to do over in the downtime/town rp thread.   Which, in his own words, involved Beijor getting rathery 'handsy' with Lenelle.

I explained my character's background, as well that she was in a committed relationship with an npc, and that at best he could expect a pretty lukewarm reaction.

Afterward, my impression was the player really didn't want anything more to do with me. Kind of like, "if you aren't willing to dally with me, then I have no other use for you."      Whatever, no biggie. I shrugged, made mental note, went on with the game.

But, in the case of Tempest -- Dude, can you not take a hint?      Tempest's player made it plain - over and over - that the attention was unwanted.

I get the sense the player we just lost would be happier in an adult rated game.  Well, great; go find yourself one.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Part II, My .02 cents:

There aren't a lot of D&D type games on Rpol I'd be interested in playing in.   By which no insult is intended;  the style of play/storytelling just isn't to my liking.  I have no problem admitting, my tastes rarely align with the majority.

Deadwater was an exception for me.   I'm here, mostly, because of bonding with its GM on a writing level, in another game where we were both players.  When Deadwater opened, I thought this one is going to be different. 

And it was.  With the exception of a single player (original Simon) we were free of the immaturity, ego trips, and histrionics, that seem to mark so many games on this site.

And the story reflected that in its overall atmosphere.

I will say...I feel like over time, what differentiated this game is being stripped from it.  And that its seems to have edged more and more into the territory of the same ol' same ol.'

Which, you know, if it's what other people love, that's okay.  Your opinions are as relevant as mine. And you may well think what I like is crap.

But if I move on from Deadwater, it will be because it's begun to feel too much like the games I tend to skip.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Other than Lenelle, with whom I talked privately before the scene, I have made exactly zero intimate advances towards PCs, including Tempest. When Lenelle said she was in a committed relationship, B backed off.

It has been about 24hrs in-game since that interaction between B and L; in that time there’s been two funerals, a dragon attack, a council of war, and a forced march through a swamp. Just saying there might be a different explanation for the lack of our characters speaking besides me, the player, being a sex fiend. But YMMV, I guess.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

I thought you were gone?

But, what you really want is for the group to chastise Tempest, come after you, and tell you how unfairly you were treated?

I'm the wrong one for that approach.   I hate walking on eggshells with people; especially in a game, where there's noting real on the line.

In the scope of my life, I don't have the remaining emotional bandwidth or the time for that. Not in a D&D game, at least.

Nobody here needs to change to please me.  Multiple players have come & gone, the game has endured, and been fun for a lot of people.   That will continue if I leave, which I'll do without rancor, if it comes to it.

Beijor, no ill wishes, I understand what you say, and I get no joy from insulting or hurting anyone.   Your lyrics and poetry are often brilliant;  that will be a loss to the game if you go. Other things too.

I've gotten to know Skye/Tempest's player overtime.   I can tell you for sure it was nothing extreme, coming from that player/character.   The same character will always have your back when the chips are down.

Deeds & behavior always outweigh paltry words in my book.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

For my part, Tempest as her character is a warrior who for the most part has relied on two people other than herself - her mentor and her sister. As it has come out with Tempest and Sprinkle's interactions, their upbringings hasn't been the most fortunate, and Tempest has been the type to protect her sister.

That is why she is slow to trust people and appears cold. This isn't personal to anyone. She is a closed in, focused warrior who fights for who she is and what she believes in. She is emotionally stunted and can seem cold, but she is a protector, and once she knows someone, she will give her life to protect them.

Baring that in mind, IC, she has known this group 24 hours, and other than her sister, knows no one (though her patron guiding them mentioned simon by name). She will not come to a group say - hey, we fight for the same thing, we are friends! No...she's a warrior - and deeds  win her over. Things like politics and such aren't her thing, she says how it is (Which is why her sister is the more likable one)

I hold Beijor as a player or character no ill will - in fact, some odds can make a good game, but only to a certain degree. I see Beijor as not being oversexed - he's a player, a charismatic man who thinks himself as a god amongst mortals....and good for him for staying IC.

Beijor calling her princess and such could be his way of trying to gain a way of friendship (Little did he know that Tempest and Sprinkle ARE princess, and outcasts, so thats a sore point with her). Like an old woman calling all people 'dear' or 'hun'

Yes, Tempest and Beijor are at odds IC, but i can see that as something the two could get over.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Holy shit. I don't feel like I have anything helpful to contribute to the OOC portion of this, and I definitely contributed unhelpfully to the IC portion. I didn't recognize that the IC problem was masking an OOC problem, and I responded to it in an IC fashion.

I'd like to apologize for that. Jennet's comments were not intended-- by me-- to take sides in that argument, or to criticize anyone's handling of it, either by Jennet in reference to any of the other three PCs or by me in the reference to any of the other three players.

I singled out Tara for Jennet's joke because I thought it'd be funnier if he didn't recognize she'd been with the party before they rescued him from the hags.

I want everyone to know... I needle, I troll, and I instigate because that's how I have my fun, but I'm not trying to have my fun at anyone or everyone else's expense. I want everyone else to have their fun, too, and I want everyone to be comfortable with my participation in the game. My inbox is open to anyone who wants... or needs... me to make adjustments. I don't want to cross any lines or push anyone's boundaries, so if I start to, I hope someone stops me before I do any harm.

By the same token, Jennet isn't me. If I have a problem with something in the game, if it isn't just "all fun and games" on my end, you're not going to hear it out of Jennet's mouth. Promise. Nothing he says has anything to do with how I feel, and if he's needling your character it's because I want you to have fun responding to it.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

I'm playing Jennet almost as much as a sexualized archetype as Beijor. I just think it's a lot funnier, given his himbo nature, if he's primarily attracted to people (or "people") who are mostly portrayed as monstrous or unattractive and frequently mistakes other people for hitting on him.

I'm not really interested in romantic-- much less erotic-- roleplaying, at least not in this context, so if it seems like Jennet's hitting on you, he's probably just confused (but definitely game) and I'm just fishing for a humorous rejection.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Part I

What I’ve got so far:

So, I saw the seeds of the conflict between Beijor & Tempest. He playfully baited her with “Mistress Icicle” and blowing kisses. Let’s all recall that Beijor participated in Connie’s interrogation. He saw Tempest freeze the Hag’s hand to her cell door. I’m reading his “Ice” jokes as acknowledging her power as much as her demeanor. To me, it’s like calling her “Elsa” or “Mistress Freeze” if this were a modern story. Annoying, sure. Malicious, no (imo).

At the same time, Tempest also acknowledged Beijor’s efficiency in riling up enemies with his Taunts. I read her “punching” remark as, “His shtick is getting his enemy worked up with taunts. I know I want to punch him in the face when he talks!” It’s a left-handed compliment, salty, even. Bullying? I don’t think so. I think you both acted and spoke accordingly with the archetypes you’re playing.

Again, I’m reviewing the chapter, so I’ll comment with notes in other things as I see them.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Part II

I’m finished with my read-through, and I’m honestly a little confused how the post-Froghemoth exchange spun such a whirlwind of drama. Beijor, what exactly did you mean in your post about the wager on Tempest? Just so I’m clear on my understanding of what I read.

While I’m waiting, I’ll say this: It’s often characteristic for warriors to be brusque and posture. It’s just as much in character for Bards to speak glibly, even occasionally mockingly. Threatening to cut off another player character’s head is…Extra, but not game-breaking if it’s only bluster. I would recommend not overplaying that card, though.

Beijor, your posts are clever and lyrical. I appreciate what you’re aiming for with a Trickster. However, I’ll add this—you can’t bait players, and then act shocked or hurt when they respond.

Beijor & Tempest: I won’t tolerate bullying, making others feel unsafe, mind games with other players, or disrespect for clearly stated boundaries of players. I expect you both to work this out swiftly, respectfully, and find a way to share gaming space productively.

Lenelle, Tempest, & Sprinkle: I understand that a few concerns arose—and potential resentments brewed—over possible plagiarism of backstories. I did notice some similarities in character origin that overlapped. I want to give Sprinkle’s player the benefit of the doubt. I hope there wasn’t any attempt to rip off Lenelle’s ideas, deliberate or unconscious. Both of you are smart enough to create distinctive, original characters. We’ve already seen the ways your characters are alike, so I’m strongly encouraging you to show us the ways that Sprinkle (and her life story) are different from Lenelle. I noticed several times that the three of you talked, exchanged ideas and perspectives, and I encourage y’all to do more of that.

Let’s settle any conflicts here and move forward. Anyone who can’t or won’t should leave now.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

In terms of beijor - I have stated that I have no personal issue with the player or his character. A well themed character is good, complete with quirks

I have no issue with people not getting on at first - tempest has been around for a little over a day and trusts her sister. She puts faith in Martial prowess and is a serious warrior.

Her issues with beijor stem partly from her history (which the gm knows about), but also the typical fighter and 'less talk, more deeds' mentality.

I have no issue with beijor stiring heras long as he realises that she won't always take it (especially when stressed), and her conflict resolution  usually involves violence.

In saying that, insulting her will quickly get her to not trust them. Fun is fun, and she knows that (sprinkle teases her all the time). I expect that given time, she will do similar to anyone else. She even has a grudging respect for Tara now because of her sisters affection.

...she will be protective of her.

But, call her something like a coward is like telling any warrior that. They will nor take that

That's my say - as far as I'm concerned if all are happy, I am.


...and as for the pipeweed. Tempest believes her body needs to be in tip top shape. No smoking. Very little drinking.

....very uptight

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

I would say that it’s fair if you don’t like another character within the story (IC vs, OOC). Stating it directly is fair, too. I think going on about it is what crosses the line. A player doesn’t need to hear that incessantly, and I certainly don’t want to see it as the DM. 1-3 times is English and should get the point across. Even if Beijor triggers Tempest because he reminds her of someone from her past, Beijor himself wasn’t personally involved or responsible for the pains of the twins’ past.

After a fight with a dragon and a froghemoth within a day’s time, there should at least be a tentative trust between your characters. Beijor & Tempest both took great risks against those monsters. It may be too soon to like each other IC, but there should be no question that you’re a team of necessity fighting for everyone's survival. Like Jennet said, some back with the same amount of people who left.

The other side of this:  I think Beijor's player had to know they'd found a button with Tempest - and continued to push it, repeatedly - in spite of the reaction it was getting.

To me, that's cause & effect, and willfully ignoring it.

However, it's for Tempest's player to say whether it was truly a problem for them.  And if so, the best thing is always to discuss it with the GM.

Darkvision gives you disadvantage on perception instead of being blind. While useful, it still sucks, it just sucks less.

Agreed. Darkvision should be OK for the initial scout; something as large as a dragon is likely visible, but we will need light to perceive traps and such.

That's the book that put the nail in the coffin for many old-school gamers! (no more more chaotic evil orcs)

It also changed all "bad guy" spellcasters so that they don't cast the spells like PCs they have spell-like powers (or something like that).

I didn't know it juiced the PC races too.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Did a lot for a bunch of PC races, including some basic dignity for kobolds... The change to monsters, if I understand it correctly, is a simplification-- making it so all the rules for the magical abilities are in the statblock instead of making you go track them down in the PHB.  Might need tweaking, but I regard that as a good thing.

I will probably skip the book entirely, so I have not looked too closely, but I did notice that there was complaints that PCs will no longer be able to Counterspell the bad guys? Maybe that was just a knee-jerk, nerd-rage from the Internet.

I suppose if you have multiple casters in a group it would be much easier on the DM is the spells are not spells anymore. I have not run into that problem yet as my groups have only run into medium-level casters and their spell repertoire was not too difficult.

We play on Roll20, so if I am on the ball (very rare) I could have the spells prepped on an NPC sheet so all the info is available at a click.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Yeah, they're spell-like abilities now instead of actual spells, but if the DM wants to make them something you can still counter, they totally can. One of the common complaints about 5E is that once you get to around 3rd level, it starts to become difficult to challenge the players if you follow the CR system. Once they get to level 5+ and have access to things like counterspell, every level it just gets harder and harder to challenge them properly without throwing CR out the window. A wizard isn't much of a challenge as a boss fight if you have someone in the group with counterspell, and heaven forbid you have multiple players with it. So your challenges become tanky, high-hp, melee monsters that just become a bit of a boring slog. The book aims to address that by giving these special abilities to monsters so that they can more easily provide a good challenge to the group, and we end up with fewer boring HP slogs.

If you don't have any problem with encounters in your games, then you probably don't need it. If you like more customization in your character races, then you might enjoy it. If you struggle with things though, it will be a good tool for quite a few DMs out there.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Simon should be about 30 feet ahead of everyone so he can use his Devil's Sight to see in the dark as if it was bright light. The sword-swingers should be closest to save his squishy ass when the dragon appears and the casters and archers behind.

If the cave is 10 feet wide, then I assume two abreast; so something like this:

    Simon
Grog    Tempest
Telric  Sprinkle
Jennet  Cela
Tara    Lenelle
    Seth

I'm not sure if Beijor is with the group any longer.

Please change spots as preferred, this is just a suggestion.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Lol, their most famous, but I've never played it.  Sounds pretty fun;

I learned D&D back in the 2nd edition era; at some point the group grew tired of it, and wanted something different.   Chaosium had released new books for Moorcock's Young Kingdoms/Elric world, and we went with that.

In fact, I GMed that; the lone, proper campaign I've ever really run.   A bit earlier, Moorcock wrote a novel called Revenge of the Rose, that I absolutely loved, so I was really psyched for that.     House ruled the system a bit, so it wasn't quite so lethal. 'Major wounds,' & all that.

Jennet: For sneak attack you get it for ranged attacks if the creature you are attacking has another enemy within 5 feet of it.

Since Sprinkle had to touch the hydra to curse it, and I expect Grog and Tempest will also being going toe-to-toe with the beastie,

AND since you go after them in initiative order, your thrown knives will get sneak attack.

It's why rogues are pretty well the best archers in 5E!

It's once per turn.

I don't think it comes up with ranged weapons, but in melee, a rogue can attack with sneak attack if they have ADV or if there is an enemy of the target within 5 ft of the target; and they could attack again with sneak attack if they got another attack which meet the sneak attack requirements, for example if they got an opportunity attack.

But I do remember hoping, just once, back when original Simon got hugged by the shambling mound.

In the future, I recommend we only do two initiatives, friend and foe. We add up all the PC's Initiative rolls and divide them by the number of players. Then the NPC foes do the same. Then we all can post whenever we get the chance.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Here's a visual of what I suggested. I've been playing on the site for 20 years, and this is very simple to do. It requires no extra steps and changes nothing in the rules. If your initiative comes up like this:

1 Lenelle
2 Seth
3 Cela
4 Grog
5 Tempest
6 Sprinkle
7 Simon
8 Hydra
9 Tara
10 Jennet
11 Telric

You can have everyone before the monster post their action for round 1, recap with the hydra. Then have all players post their next actions (which for the people after the hydra is their first), initiative essentially becomes what I have below. Nobody misses any actions, and everyone can post whenever they have a chance as we swap between all-players, monster and recap, all-players, monster and recap. It's simple, fast, effective.

9 Tara
10 Jennet
11 Telric
1 Lenelle
2 Seth
3 Cela
4 Grog
5 Tempest
6 Sprinkle
7 Simon
8 Hydra

Grog, we were waiting on Cela. She has some RL stuff going on, so I might post for her tonight to move things along.

Then, it’s Hydra-Tara-Telric-Jennet.

We would need an understanding that the players going for the 1st group remain aware that the Hydra recap doesn’t signal their next round. I think Telric has a good idea worth considering. A group initiative would free y’all to act per your ability to post. How does everyone feel about a “First Come, First Serve” under a Group Initiative?

I've had no issue with the Initiative as run so far. I think the only slow-downs have been delays in players posting, which won't be changed by the initiative system.

Whatever works for the DM and the group is fine with me.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Disgaea Initiative is basically very much group PBP initiative-- when it's the players' turn, they all act in whatever order they want.  Then the enemy goes, in whatever order THEY want.  It allows for some crazy teamwork and insane focus fire on both sides if you plan for it.

Disgaea Initiative;  had it not been explained, I might've thought it was a conspiracy to disrupt the sovereignty of nature, or something like that. ;)  (dis- Gaea)

I've enjoyed the current system, just because it doesn't weight the action sequence toward those who are online most.    I think, with first come serve, you might see a pattern of mostly the same characters going first?

But, I like what Tara's alluding to, with the teamwork and focus.   That might be a positive.

Once again, my age shows, as I am a little confused!

I thought the plan was to proceed further into the caves, once the healing was done, as a group.

When you referred to searching the cave, I took that to mean the initial cave where we fought the hydra. If you mean the rest of the complex, I hope that the group is of the mind that is what we came to do.

The Leader & nearby minions will attack, and at least one will get an advantage on Grog.

Tempest rolled saves & attacks.

Two questions:

1. Does Sskith recognize the lizardfolk?

2. I crit on my first attack, Infused Strike reads

quote:
Infused Strikes. When another creature within 30 feet of the drake that it can see hits a target with a weapon attack, the drake infuses the strike with its essence, causing the target to take an extra 1d6 damage of the type determined by its Draconic Essence.


The rules for Critical Hits read

quote:
Critical Hits
When you score a critical hit, you get to roll extra dice for the attack’s damage against the target. Roll all of the attack’s damage dice twice and add them together. Then add any relevant modifiers as normal. To speed up play, you can roll all the damage dice at once.


So my question is, does the Infused Strike crit?

I also want to advise everyone that this isn’t a “Hack’n’Slash” game. Retreat can be an option here.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

I know what the order of initiative is, but I don't know who you're looking for actions from. You ended with this:

The Dungeonmaster:
Jennet, Seth, Tara, & Telric turned the corner, finally arriving to witness another fierce battle! They collectively gasped when they saw Tempest lying unconscious and dying! They heard the Yuan-Ti shout a demand to stand down, or their companion would die.

What would they do?


Does that mean you want actions from those four, or do you want actions from everyone? Was the command given to everyone or just those 4? All of the enemies go before Grog, and you're using save-or-suck spells, so there's also a good chance whatever I post right now will be invalid twice over before it's actually his turn.

We’re on the full order of Initiative. Lenelle just went, I’ll go for the first half of the villains. You can go when it’s your turn. Yes, you go last because of a low roll. The Yuan-Ti Lieutenant who goes before you will likely be tied up with Simon or the others. Whatever you do is up to you, but Tara might have the right idea.

If you can set it up properly, even if you catch a few PCs it might not matter as long as you keep the ones free that can chop up the bad guys while they are restrained.

I'd inquired about the possible consequences of casting Shatter earlier, and was told there was likely risk of hitting allies.    So, web may well be same...but Simon is right; the overall outcome might still be worth it.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

I looked at casting it (shatter) when we advance scouts first met the enemy, without you guys - I don't need an explanation why Web is a better choice in the present situation.

In case it's not clear:    I only brought shatter up because I was told (in an earlier round) about the chance of hitting teammates with an AoE spell.   So, I'm assuming Web will be the same, but with a better net outcome.

I'm absolutely not casting shatter on the next turn...I have something other in mind, non offensive.   I think the web is our best best.

The Dungeonmaster:

If this statement is true, then it invalidates your previous statement about killing things treating it like a video game. If repercussions are a thing, then killing everything prevents the repercussions. We don't know what the repercussions will be, but it could very well include pain or death for the innocent villagers we left behind.

Yeah, we're in a bad spot, but ignoring the potential harm to innocents for the sake of our of hit point pools and resources is more video gamey than accepting the fact that we're in a shit situation and yet we're about to go face a dragon. That's a question the players have to ask about their characters. Are the characters heroes, or do the numbers on your character sheet scare you enough to influence your character's decisions.

Jason knows about hit points and spell slots.

Grog came to kill a dragon who has already harmed the people in the village where he just performed funeral services for children, and we know he will harm them again if we don't put an end to it.

The video game comment makes me a little upset. Not quite insulting, but kind of on the edge. It insults a character/story-driven decision by calling it video gamy, when it's actually the opposite. I'm not saying that carrying on the fight is the only option here, but yeah, I am slightly insulted by that comment, actually.

By pointing one out as being video gamey, you're implying that the other is not. Put in perspective, I think the opposite is true. I may be applying more negative context to "video game" than you intended, but as I read it, those are my thoughts.

No, I’m not invalidating any previous statement. Pursuing another fight when members of your team are injured or spent on some combat resources doesn’t show me serious consideration of repercussions. What defense will you provide the people of Deadwater if you die in this cave while there’s a dragon loose out there? It’s too bad that you feel offended, but I stand by my statement. It very much felt like some players were treating this like a video game.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

There's risk involved either way, which is why we were having a discussion about it in the first place. If we flee, innocent people might die because we didn't act when we had the chance. If we don't flee, we might die and those people might suffer as a result, or we might save all the innocents at the cost of some losses of our own.

Again, I might be reading more negativity than you intend into "video game". But if one option is correct to you and the other is worth saying people are playing the game wrong, then that makes the decision pretty easy.

That's how the situation appears to me right now.

Between the 10 of you, there were plenty of options besides trying to wipe out a new threat. There are Invisibility spells and Familiars who could spy. You guys aren’t at full strength or spell slots. To me, it seems there’s a little recklessness at the moment. You can all choose to double down and justify it as you see fit, but there may be consequences for choices.

At this point, let’s take our disagreement to private messages.

And while I, as fellow player, grasp your point, I'd also point out there are role playing angles that can support the other choice, without referencing numbers or slots.

You'll hear them from Lenelle, if this comes to a group discussion.

As someone who tends to play flawed individuals, non conformists, characters who may be neutral as regards good & evil, and is a wanna be novelist on top of it --  D&D character as generic hero is often not my own angle.

Even acknowledging the one I have here would (and has) risked her immediate life for some number of things.   But that doesn't always amount to 'charge, and damn the consequences.'

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

I understand your frustration, Grog. You’ve wanted that final showdown with Baleful Blackfang, and you’re all facing obstacles to get there. I promise that things like the Yuan-Ti serve a purpose to that end. It’s not just a random encounter I pulled out of my ass. While I want to accommodate players as much as reasonably possible, I also don’t want to bend my game to service one person (or a few). I’ve done that before to the detriment of the game.

I wasn’t trying to be mean earlier, but I am concerned about choices that were made as whole by the group. Let me also say I don’t just award XP based on kills. The whole picture will be considered as I hand out XP: combat, characterization, meeting goals, creative problem-solving, teamwork, moving the story forward. So don’t feel like you have to kill everything on sight. You’ll have your opportunities for heroic moments from my end, too, I promise you.

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

Simon is readying yet another possibly suicidal plan, but will wait for the rest of the PCs and NPCs at the bottom of the order to act/react.

Getting a little meta-gamey here, perhaps Simon should have been more frightened of the Yuan-Ti than he was; that was due to Simon’s player not knowing how bad-ass they are! I don’t recall ever fighting Yuan-Ti in 40+ years, spanning 5 editions; and it did not occur to me to check the monster manual when the DM advised that Simon knew what they were. I played it like he recognised them, but perhaps he was supposed to also know how powerful they are.

After re-reading the encounter, the DM threw out a couple blatant “are you sure’s” to the group, but in our defence, the battle was already under way.

If Telric’s offer of detente works perhaps we will be able to walk away from this apparently unwinnable battle and return to fight another day. Too bad the roll was not higher, maybe they would have joined forces with us! ;-)

Are we short-resting or long-resting? I'm not sure if we decided and I have lost track of time in the day. If anyone needs a long rest and we can take one, I am fine with that.

Since you’ve had a long rest, I’d say they dissipated. Telric hands out Temp HP like Halloween candy for trick-or-treaters, though, so you’ll get more.

As you replayed the battle in your mind, you realize that the Lair was bare, even for a younger Dragon. The Yuan-Ti that the party encountered were likely there so they could move the hoard to Baleful’s present location.

I'm confused, Msg#229 in the "Swallowewd" thread confirms that the group exited the cave through the underwater tunnel and found a spot in the swamp where the Tiny Hut was cast.

Staying in the cave would not have made sense as the Yuan-Ti were there, ready to turn us into dragon-chow!

Re: Another Round of Ale! (OOC 2)

I promise I haven’t forgotten this game. I felt some anxiety over planning our transition to this last battle, and experienced a little “Analysis Paralysis”. I’ve found a map, and I’ll get us underway by the end of today. Grog has logged onto his other games, but hasn’t posted here since July. I’ll NPC him, Sprinkle, & Tempest, then they’re on the next boat out.

Have you used Roll 20? I use it for my real-life game.

You can create a free account, then: 
  • start a game as DM,
  • open a blank page,
  • upload your map,
  • add it to the background layer on the blank page,
  • then drop some tokens from the free library onto the token layer
  • move tokens as needed, take a screen shot and update the game map


Or if you have Photoshop or GIMP or Paint or another photo editor you can use that.

So a dragon, a dozen yuan-ti, and some lizardmen, easy-peasy! :-D

Does anyone have some sort of glue? I'm thinking we can cast Darkness on an object, and then glue it to the dragon's head. That might cause him some grief!

That might work! And yes, web on the wings does wonders to prevent flying!

The downside is that we're looking at three concentration spells (darkness, web, and probably fly). Simon is good for darkness or fly, as he can use eldritch blast round after round.

Any other thoughts?

DM; can you give us an idea of where all the bad guys are on the map?

In reply to Tara Inkfingers (msg # 963):

The plan, which may use too many spells, would be to cast Darkness on a small object, fly above the dragon (assuming it is flying) and to "glue the object" to the back of its head...it's head is in darkness, everyone else can keep back.

It's not a good plan, and I'm not sure web will work as glue (but it will do wonders on wings)!

Baleful is flying under the boats hit on the top, about 30 ft in the air.

The hostile Lizardfolk and Yuan-Timfoot soldiers are 15 feet under the stone structure in the center lines, 60 feet across for the big melee.

Yuan-Ti leaders & hostages are left of the stone structure, watching.
