Welcome to the squad! I'm a newbie to 5e so please excuse any gaps in knowledge. Jiggy has been very understanding and helpful.

Hey Alessandra
Finlogan is a prince of Escalus and was a royal courtier until last year. In what ways could they have interacted and developed a relationship?
cheers

I'm new to 5e, too, Teo. We can mistake together.
Alex's family is in logistics. They don't buy and sell directly, but own lots of boats and caravans and transport goods for a fee. Alex could have been in Escalus to negotiate some preferential treatment for her families transports so they could cross into/ out of Escalus with less paperwork and time. She's pretty blunt and no-nonsense so she might have stood out while she was there. She doesn't like the political aspect of her life very much. Perhaps they could have bonded over their mutual dislike of the situation.

Finlogan wouldn't have been in Escalus to be met.
They could have met at a royal court ball in the past couple of years. In the corner, over a drink comiserating about having to attend. Maybe they didn't even get each other's names.

Wherever it is elves hold their courts, then. The world's tallest tree.

Not an elven court. The one and only royal court. My memory is a bit fuzzy on the world description beyond our kingdom.
I've a business trip tomorrow and Wednesday. I'll be able to post on Friday.

I think heading back to Linhaus would involve Alessandra with alacrity. Plus, we might find more answers, now armed with a little more information...

But how are elves supposed to metaphorically and literally look down on everyone if they don't live in tree palaces?

Well, this water-elf is pretty wild....she doesn't look down on anybody. Except maybe gnomes, dwarves and halflings...

Creepy water elves. Hiding in the shallows. Lookin'up people's skirts and stuff as they pass by.

Woot! It'll take me a couple days to get leveled. This will be my first leveling for a 5th edition character!

Alex suddenly feels she is not statistically better than the others...

Teo is leveled. Her header is mostly incorrect as I'm on my phone and I can't edit all the header on it. I'll get it correct when I'm in the office by the end of the week.

With that great tracking roll? Nothing about what was dragging them? Where they fell? Color of their hair? ;D
If not, then let's go.
Cheers

Whoops, left out a couple of details.
You spot a few humanoid footprints doing the dragging, but they're mostly destroyed by the "tracks" of the dragged objects (since they would cross any given point after the creature doing the dragging). But definitely humanoids doing the dragging.
Presumably they fell at the point where the dragging-tracks started.
A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead.
Well, maybe; you never know. ;)

Thanks. GO ahead an roll. My family and are leaving now for the long weekend, so my posting will be infrequent.
cheers

Ok, I added 1 to my Str and 1 to my Int.
I added 5+1 (Con bonus) to HP.
I can now assume the form of a 1/2 CR creature, (such as an Ape, Black Bear, Warhorse or Giant Wasp...)
I have one extra 2nd level spell slot.
Where are skill listed on the 5eSRD? Just trying to make sure I'm doing them right - only s skill dependant upon Int should improve right? Becase my Proficiency bonus is unchanged...
Skills don't necessarily change from level to level. Either you're proficient in a skill, or you're not. If you are, then it just means you add your proficiency bonus. Nothing else.
Female Elf (Water) Druid 4 | HP 27/27 | AC 15 | Init +3 | Scimitar +5 [1d6], Spear +1 [1d6/1d8] | Spd 30ft | Per: +5 | SAVES: Str +0/Dex +3/Con +1/Int +2/Wis +5/Cha +2 | Spell save DC: 13 | Spell Atk Mod: +5.
Ok, but my skills were listed as:
Animal Handling (Druid) +5
Insight (Druid) +5
Nature (Background) +3
Perception (Elf) +5
Survival (Background) +5
and my saves were:
Str -1/Dex +3/Con +1/Int +2/Wis +5/Cha +2
and my stats were S9 D16 C13 I 11 W16 C14
I changed the Str save to +0 as my Strength went from 9 to 10, and my Int save to +3 as it was +2 (proficiency) but now has a +1 from Int 12. Right? But why is my Str save the only one that doesn't have a proficiency bonus? Or have I done that incorrectly? I thought your saves were based on their modifier plus your proficiency. And likewise, skills were based on your proficiency and the relevant ability modifier.
Everything's based on your stat, plus (if applicable) your proficiency bonus.
Or to put it another way, everything is either:
A) stat mod; or
B) stat mod + proficiency
It's just a matter of determining which things get that proficiency. Your class write-up lists which two saves you're proficient in, as well as a list of choices for which skills to be proficient in. Your background also typically gives a couple more skill proficiencies.
For any given roll, either you have something somewhere explicitly telling you that you're proficient (in which case you've got stat+prof) or you don't (in which case it's just stat).

Never split the party. ;D
I thought the inn was searched. Let's finish it and move on. I don't think we'll find much in the inn.

FYI, I'll be traveling out of state for a wedding this weekend, and therefore might not be able to post between today and Monday.

Alex. I adopted the naming practice of british royalty. When the prince of Wales served in the armed forces, his last name was Wales.

Sorry for my absence. Father-in-law had a stroke (seems to be much improved now...), plus night shifts over the weekend meant I was discombobulated. Will try to catch up over the next day or so...

Yikes, hope he's okay. Thanks for the heads-up.
Sorry for the delay; I got crazy sick Wednesday night, and I'm only just now getting enough energy to even let you know I don't have the energy to post. Hopefully I'll be back soon.

Question: is getting to my feet something that will be bad and provoke something nasty, or is it just a basic move action?

Standing from prone uses half your movement. Doesn't do anything else.

Help. How does prone affect my actions? Is my best action just to attack?
Thanks
