Back home now and caught up at work, so posting at least once a day will be no problem going forward. Thanks for your patience over the last couple of weeks.

Halsere looks happy his companions seem to be recovered.

Mirrel, are there any restrictions on what types of creatures can be affected by Vicious Mockery? I was thinking so, but your summary in your profile doesn't say so.

It he target must be able to hear me (but doesn't need to understand me). I'll add that in in a tick.

My first thought was that things like this are covered via immunities in 5E. However, looking over the MM, very few things have immunity to psychic damage (even oozes and such aren't immune or resistant). As written, it seems like being deaf is the only real defence to it (or silencing me).

I'll look around for any general comments outside of the specific spell..

I'm going to be traveling out of state to visit family for the next week, starting by spending all day tomorrow driving. I'll probably find time to post here and there, but it may be erratic.

Starting from 5 hp

Potion of Extra Healing: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 1) + 4 = 12

Potion of Extra Healing: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 2) + 4 = 16

Potion of Healing: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Potion of Healing: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Potion of Healing: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Potion of Healing: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Drank all my potions, puts me at 49 of 76

holy crap!!!

Potions of normal healing are 2d4 +2. You've rolled for half strength potions.

oh my bad! I forgot.

the other half of my healing potion: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

the other half of my healing potion: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

the other half of my healing potion: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

the other half of my healing potion: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

adds 14 more hitpoints to my 49. Puts me at 63 of 74

Should we take a short rest? I can cast Prayer of Healing for 2d8+5 on everybody.

I think we're trying to dodge a short rest.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I guess we're pressing on without a rest, so I'm downing at least one potion

Potion of Healing: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7
Potion of Healing: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8

Forgot to look at my own hit points... :/

Extra healing Potion: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 2) + 4 = 12
Healing Potion: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8

Hey guys, I'm 5 hours into a 16 hour work day, I don't know if I'll get to post again today.

Hitdie healing: 1d10 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 5 + (4) = 17

Hitdie healing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Hitdie healing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Hitdie healing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Hitdie healing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Hitdie healing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

I doubt we are going to have time to rest again, so might as well blow it all to heal back up to full.

Just remember that when you eventually get a long rest, you only recover spent HD equal to half your level.

Also, remember your resting-with-a-bard bonus.

Yeah, I think we only get the +1d6 bonus once though right?

I don't know, it seems like the fights are only going to get harder, I'm gonna need every HP I have to survive the onslaught.

Yeah, I think we only get the +1d6 bonus once though right?

Yep. Just the once, provided you spend at least one hit die.

Hit Die: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + (1) + 1 = 4
Hit Die: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Been furiously ill for the last few days. Bear with me for another 24 hours.

Would you consider at all skipping to level 8, so we could go in with a new feat/ability increase?

-Posted with Wayfinder

I vote 12.

-Posted with Wayfinder

You're already getting a new spell level. Quit griping or I'll knock you down to 5th.

Kidding.

Maybe.

Theme music for this interlude before confronting the vampire has been updated to something thematically appropriate. Enjoy.

Sorry guys, things have been a bit crazy for me, I'm gonna try and level up today.

Okay leveled up, got some hitpoints, another superiority dice, 2 more maneuvers, I got menacing attack, so I can frighten enemies with my hits and Parry which lets me reduce some damage I take from an attack.

I also got Know Your enemy, spend a minute observing an enemy and I can learn a couple things about them.

I just got some HP and spells. Oh, and I can now cast a cantrip and make an attack in the same turn.

I can't decide what new spell to learn though. Scorching Ray? Shatter? Thunderwave? Magic Missile?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Mirrel is now 7th level. I learnt heat metal.

I want to shop and pick out a new spell first.
I just need to figure out what all we got from the crypt.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Apparently all we got from the crypt was the spears, the greatsword, the full plate, and the ring.
Thyra took the full plate. I took the ring. We need at least the one spear for plot reasons.
So we can sell the 3 spears and the sword. What bonus are they?
Thyra, what armor did you give up? I'm trying to figure out if I can use it.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The three spears are each +1s, and I believe the greatsword was +2.

Also, theme music has been updated for your climactic final clash between good and evil: Battle Against a True Hero!

Is the store up to date?
I'm not sure how much that sword will sell for.

Just occurred to me that I haven't posted details for Specularum shopping yet, so here's the breakdown:

A simple, one-handed weapon costs 800gp for +1 or 1,400gp for +2.
A simple, two-handed weapon or a martial, one-handed weapon costs 1,200gp for +1 or 2,000gp for +2.
A martial, two-handed weapon costs 1,800gp for +1 or 3,000gp for +2.

Light armor costs 800gp (plus the base price) for +1 or 1,800gp (plus the base price) for +2.
Medium armor and shields cost 1,300gp (plus the base price) for +1 or 3,000gp (plus the base price) for +2.
Heavy armor costs 3,000gp (plus the base price) for +1 or 5,500gp (plus the base price) for +2.

Spell scrolls can be purchased for 500gp per spell level, for any spell up to 4th level. Alternatively, for 200gp per spell level, spells of up to 4th level can be added to a spellbook in a matter of minutes.

Potion of fire resist: 200gp
Potion of invisibility: 200gp
Ring of fire resist: 5,000gp
Potion of healing: 50gp
Potion of Extra Healing (4d4+4): 200gp
Ring of Protection +1: 3,000gp

Your own gear can be sold for half price (using these prices).

I gave up +1 full plate, sell away!

Thyra would want to buy some more healing potions as she drank all of them in the last dungeon.

What's the drawback of full plate? I can't remember if there's more than just disadvantage on stealth.

-Posted with Wayfinder

There's problems if you don't meet the minimum STR.

Dangit. Fine, we sell it.

Okay, so:
3 simple 2H +1 weapons = 1200x3 = 3600
1 martial 2H +2 weapon = 3000
1 full plate +1 armor = 3000
Total (/2) = 9600/2 = 4800
Previous group share = 1300

Group Share = 6100 gold

I could blow 3000 on some +2 medium armor, bump my AC by 1, and leave 3750 in the share. We could spend the rest on scrolls. Thoughts?

PS - I have a ring of protection someone else can have, or we can sell it.

Hey guys,

I work at a Harley-Davidson dealership, we are having the Pacific Northwest Motorcycle Rally at our dealership this weekend, I'll be working 7 am to 11 pm thursday-saturday.

You might have to bot me/buy me potions/make decisions without me for a few days.

I can't wait to punch koriszegy in his stupid vamp face though!

My AC is pretty low, so I'll take Spidre's ring of prot. if it's going begging.

Alright, things are crazy over in the campaign side! I just read Jiggy's posts, we jumped right into the final battle.

That said, I would still like 2 or 3 Extra Strength Healing Potions.

So if we can spare 600 gp, Thyra'd appreciate it.

Some personal issues - bear with.

I'll go ahead and take my armor. Let's get Hal a 3rd level & a 2nd level scroll for 2500gp and spend the rest on potions.
Unless Mirrel wants one of those scrolls?

After Thyra's potions that leaves 650gp.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Nope I'm good - but I'll take your ring of protection? Is that still floating?

Hal will go level 6 mage.

1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Yes, Mirrel, it's yours.

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.

Aaaaand that's that! Congratulations! I've got to admit, by the end of round 1, I thought you were all gonna die.

Hope everyone had fun!

Next time we should let Mirrel be the villain, because apparently that would be tougher.

That was a pretty brutal lockdown he had going. Maybe my next campaign will feature a bard BBEG.
