Procz has maybe turned the tide and added some intriguing chaos to the plan!

Does Frack see this happen? If so, he will be highly motivated to join in... or at least run toward Procz with a highly inadvisable cry for justice to be served! But the station is bustling, so not sure if he sees Procz in action. I'll leave that to the DM.

As for Kreo's question, I'm no rules expert, but you might be okay. Assuming he is grappled (an assumption, I readily admit), then he just needs to take an action (not make an attack) to escape it.

The description for invisibility says The spell ends for a target that attacks or casts a spell.

He does not mind.

Kreo is the only one I think obviously would, though the rest of you would know them by reputation. If anyone thinks they would have some prior experience with them, feel free to drop me a PM to discuss.

TBH I either forgot or missed that you had Invisibility up, so as compensation for that I'll say no, it won't drop. And I'll also say you can extract yourself without further rolls required now that she's no longer "possessed".

Edit: Should have read the IC post first. But result is the same: you can slip the old woman's grip and remain invisible.

Yes, you can see it, thanks for checking.

Frack is going to rush in to try to help Kreo. Wise move? No. But that's what Frack would do.

Just to be clear, Procz is not riding Zúm to cast invisibility on Kreo, but using the familiar (moving closer as necessary) to deliver the spell.

Understood. And very clever!

This is the joy of the game for me: dropping you into thorny situations where I'm genuinely wondering, "Gee, how are they going to get out of this one?" And then someone comes through with something clever and it's a triumph of creativity!

But I do understand it's not satisfying for you all if the situation is too vague or complicated for you to conceptualize and consider options. I'll keep trying to refine my balance-striking!

Again, apologies for "Fracking things up" by not going for a clean escape, especially now that Kreo is in the clear. I'm trying to be true to Frack's character, even if counterproductive. With that said, if this is becoming tiresome for you fellow players, say the word and I can adjust Frack's behavior.

I'm loving it, I just hope it doesn't get Frack hurt!

I'm hoping the same thing!

Procz's words are enough to get him paddling in the same direction as everybody else. He trusts the constable completely! Hopefully he changed his mind soon enough to avoid danger. We'll see.

So if invisible Kreo were to pick up Frack while he was escaping and tuck him under his arm, would Frack turn invisible, too? I mean, Frack is in many ways a stylish item of clothing, am I right? How many times have you heard someone say, "good sir, your top hat is absolutely Frack!" or "he was all Fracked out in his Sunday best." You guys have heard of that, right?

Just kidding. Frack can fend for himself!

While combing through the old threads for the sake of a recap, I found a collection of "favorites", which I will share in a few installments. Here are my third favorites!

Favorite Vera costumes:
   Roxie, Vera’s factory-worker alter ego.

Favorite Frack mispronunciations/misundestandings:
   A thoundsind is a term for anything bigger than 200.

Favorite Baern terminology:

Favorite Vecaal (angry) thoughts and sayings:

Favorite Kreo union-inspired moments:

Favorite Procz quotes that Frack totally didn’t understand:

It might seem a little silly but I appreciate you calling out a line that ties into the character motivation. That means a lot to me, and makes me feel a bit better about playing this character the way I do

Sorry to Baern and Vecaal for not having much to save you, cleric sorcerer you'd think I'd have SOMETHING

I assumed I should join back up asap for the story but if the DM wants to waylay me I can edit

Love Kreo! It's clear that standing up for the little guy is a big part of who he is. The trick was trying to pick out my three favorite lines out of so many good ones. Stay tuned for my second-favorite favorite and my all-time-favorite-favorite-of-all-time!

Sorry for being antisocial I'm just reluctant to waste a good spell when it was cast, and though Kreo's a good Persuasion guy, he's not go Expertise or a 20 in Charisma which would make interfering more likely to be profitable. It's worth letting the other cool guys and gals take lead and lean into the thing I've got that I can add, SPELLS

Great post!

Thank you, sir :)

Baern is much more direct than Arvid ever was.

Round two of my favorites so far:

Favorite Vera costumes (and one favorite saying):
   The Pirate on the voyage to the Descendants' island hideout.

Favorite Frack mispronunciations/misundestandings:
   Resin ants are something Procz is looking for while on the slopes. No idea why.

Favorite Baern terminology:

Favorite Vecaal (angry) thoughts and sayings:

Favorite Kreo union-inspired moments:

Favorite Procz quotes that Frack totally didn’t understand:

I do enjoy Baern’s colloquialisms :)

Does Vera have any helpful spells for this?

I'd like to mostly pretend Vera's not there. It's easier for me and puts the spotlight more on you all. I'm not going to have her attack (or get attacked) during the fight, but she can concentrate on either Bane or Enhance Ability and throw Healing Words as needed.

Works for me!

Great reply!

As for attacking a slime, I have no idea how to do so. Assuming blades are no good. Can we burn it? Frack has Sacred Weapon (making his attack magical) and Divine Smite (which adds radiant damage to his attack) if those might help.

That sounds like a question for an Arcana check!

And Procz, could you please give me a Perception check, with advantage, since you've found a clever way to search for the slime?

That's Perception 18.

Well percepted!!!

Are we in initiative now? Or are the slimes still oblivious to our presence?

Good question. They haven't done anything to indicate they're aware of your presence, so we don't need it just yet. But I will ask everyone to roll initiative just so we have it. Thanks!

The tension is building!!! Ooh. I forgot to roll an arcana check for an off chance of knowing what these things are or how to combat them. Will do so now!

...meh. Frack has no keen insight. He once defeated an entire jar of mayonnaise (on a sandwich), but that's about as close as he gets to knowing anything about black slime.

16:34, Today: Frack rolled 8 using 1d20-1.  arcana - how does one fight whatever is in the junk pile??? –
