In reply to GM (msg # 154):

Always hate losing players as a DM myself. Hopefully all is well with them.

@Tegan



Or were you saying he didn't notice the rest?

That was my take on it, since Tegan was specifically searching for a blood-trail, and Erdan was (as I understood it) performing the more traditional "tracking".

DM,

Are there any light sources in the tunnel, other than Sasyra's lantern?

Thanks.

I don’t believe so.

Well . . . it seemed like a good idea at the time. :)

What's the layout here? Based off of the description so far, the party is coming up a 10ft wide corridor/tunnel which we presume opens into a larger cavern/room, but we don't have any other dimensions or distances. Most importantly, how far to the creature and what can we see ahead of us RE: openings and other terrain)

Marching order seems to be; Erdan (downed), Adeline, Tegan, Leon, Sasyra

Does a lantern count as a light weapon?

You are indeed in a 10 ft wide, 9 ft. tall tunnel,  the creature is at present 40 ft. in front of you. You have not yet been in, or even seen where the tunnel opens up. You can still only see tunnel in front of you, the twisting walls preventing you from seeing further. The marching order is correct.

A lantern would not be light, its an improvised weapon, dealing 1d4 bludgeoning damage, though if used as such it might break, possibly doing fire damage to the wielder and target.

Well, that joke backfired lol

Ah, apologies. Good one :)

I thought it was very punny!

With Erdan being healed, I'd like an init. for him as well. Just post it here and I'll add it in.

18:38, Today: Erdan Amakiir rolled 6 using 1d20+3. Initiative. – 6

Oh boy.  I've done something to piss off the dice gods.

Ha!! I see what you did, there. :)

Indeed, the roller does not like you at the moment.

Question: When you take enough damage to down you, do you just go to 0 or into the negative if it exceeds your max?  Reading the rules it sounds like you just go to 0, but I want to make sure.

Normally in 5e you hit 0 and start taking death saves. You used to hit negative HP in older editions.

You would go to zero, unless of course you take enough damage to incur instant death.

Does that mean the cover provided the beast by my allies has reduced and thus I can throw a stabber at him?

You can, though it would be at disadvantage now that he is on the ground and you’re attacking from range.

13:57, Today: Sasyra rolled 20 3 using 2d20+2 with rolls of 1,17.  Flying dagger. Miss

Btw, Tegan, I used up all 10 of your healing.

In reply to Erdan Amakiir (msg # 178):

Thanks. Duly noted. :)

Hopefully, tying up Mister Bad Nasty will not require some sort of a Check. If it does, we shall certainly fail the die-roll, and we'll need to get back to fighting it.

Bite your tongue, kinsman!
