The Reaping Stone (Cassomir) Table 2

Game Master Karmic Knight

Think it over you can get the info here too.

5e SRD

Curious...but I only have the basic 5th edition book and I've never actually played it yet.

If it makes you feel better, nor have I. But 5e seems pretty user-friendly I think, just pick a class (and archetype if you want to plan ahead), throw in some stats that fit the class, and pick a background for your character. Once you do that, everything sort of just falls in place. You don't even have to pick a feat yet (unless you pick a Variant Human for your race). Your class and background even supply your equipment!

<=== Also a 5e newbie

Interesting, might do something as I haven't played 5th ed much.

Im planning on starting monday or tuesday.

Here is the re recruitment thread.

While I appreciate the offer, I will bow out I think. I'm not seeing anything other than Dragonborn that I'm interested in playing with 5th edition yet (although I have a limited view available on 5th so far), and you have already decided against allowing that race.

So have fun! I will be keeping an eye on the game as it progresses.
=)

I’m in 4 active games now. Another would be a bit too much on my plate. I’ll watch it though. I haven’t played 5th yet

Think I'll pass for now too, I have a couple of applications in games still and if I get in both of them I will probably be pretty full up for now.

no worries all

Ok Team we got a couple options in this fight...

A) Fight (only if Cass is not feared)

1. I can probably kill the swarms and damage hounds will need to take a 5-foot step forward and will need none of you adjacent to me.

2. I can attack everything except the swarms with a trump card (busts & hounds)
*kirzon we'll need your burst of radiance either way

B) (if cass is feared we retreat)

1. Run we can flee

2. Flee and try and fight the hounds only away from the busts.

let me know what you think or if you have an other ideas

Can we tell if the busts are stationary? If so, maybe we throw up an obscuring mist to break their line of sight, and then we're fighting two yeth hounds, which gives us better odds. Lily might be able to entangle some of them, Kirzon would Burst of Radiance, etc.

That mist would a good idea.

the busts do appear to be stationary

Ok Warrior team got beat by just 1 of these hounds.

Team Mage needs to fight 2 of these things and 3 other enemies. How much more badass are we is the question...

If you mist the Busts that just leaves the 2 hounds to deal with Kirzon. If Lili is able to disable one with the entangle. I think we can still fight this out.

Kirzon's play will be Obscuring Mist and move. Not sure if you want that before or after your action, Innis.

Not sure what to do with Boros, but probably will try to spread out just to avoid spider swarms?

Honestly, those who ran away might be the smart ones here, we'll see.

Kirzon blind the busts that was a great idea.

I've moved Boros to where I want him to be.

I'll kill the swarms and damage 1 hound so we have less to deal with your going to have to 5 foot step away or get blasted.

The mist will mess up our line of sight too. But so it goes.

Oh I thought you could cast it away not centered on you, that's fine anyhow.

Amigail sends her friends a nice postcard from Oppara. ;)

Good luck in the fight!

How much I hate all of you right now....

Might not even be worth coming back ;P

Sorry, need Fog Cloud to cast it away from us, which I didn't memorize.

Merelda Wave too!

"They can't have gone far, I'll find them and slap some sense into them!"

Lililinda heads off after her pusillanimous companions, pausing only to pick up a dropped glaive and falcata.

And so it comes down to Innis and Kirzon vs the world. Who would have guessed? And to think, the number of times I've tried to do you harm today it's rather quite hilarious.

Hey, don't forget our stalwart animal friends, Boros and Cinder!

And some other creature(s) if Kirzon fires off this summoning spell. I was thinking Earth Elemental but I'm open to suggestions.

The Yeth hounds are kinda floaty an earth elemental would be at a disadvantage. Go with an air elemental if anything. Plus we got a keep it in theme can't let the Sorceress show you up. I called an aspect of the Storm Itself the least you could do is breathe life into the Howling Air.

Edit: Boros and Cinder are sidekicks though having them here does neatly represent each of our factions. The fight is likely going to be done before backup arrives I suspect.

I'm pouring out eagles until the stupid dog dies.

as per merry's info they have resistance, need silver claws

fewer characters in battle WAY more dice rolled this encounter.

Does the celestial eagle smite evil bypass DR?

yes Kirzon it does

cool

Woot!

Are the eagles smart enough to back off if I tell them to? i.e. 5-foot step away so Innis can fire off a Scorching Ray?

I think so you summoned them so they must have some rudimentary way to understand their summoner

Great Job Team Mage High-fives all around!

Color me impressed! I honestly thought that this was where our story ended.

Well done all: heroes, animal/insect companions, and summoned temps as well!

Well done! I was about to think we were done for too!

Lili is feisty devil without Cass I didn't even want to fight that battle. I suppose it was going to end up that way no matter what all that fear, and a lot of crowd control on the enemy side with the swarms. I used all my aces so we'll hopefully we won't have to deal with something of that caliber for a while. Losing half the team is a hard sell.

I have a better idea for my spell loadout for tomorrow. This day was informative but I can only fight if you guys can keep each other safe.

How big is the tower? Does it look like there are a lot of rooms within?

@Innis--I'm politely poking you to check in on our 5e game!

Need to figure out my spells for the day. Ideas?

your mist has worked wonders, i like the CC of burst of radiance.

I might like to see a burning sphere as we could use more ranged damage

This may be a stupid idea, but what if I memorize Spider Climb x3 and we skip to the top of the tower? Can Innis also cast that spell (for some reason I thought you did so before).

I had magic slippers that could do it. Unfortunately I am no longer in possession of them.

its an interesting plan...

Kirzon you probably wouldn't need to memorize spider climb x3

just 1 spider-climb + ant haul and get Cass carry us all up, via ropes

You could wild shape and just fly.

shes got a 20 str score with the belt on so she should be able to manage.

Okay, if we can't get the party up there, not a good idea.

Kinda hinges on how cheat proof this tower is are there literally no windows at all @GM?

Merelda sends Cinder to scout the tower looking for other entrances.
CAREFULLY.

This is what you see (italics added by me):

This tall hexagonal tower stands at the edge of a large mist-shrouded subterranean lake. Constructed from irregular-sized blocks of a strange dark green stone, the tower seems to have no windows. A single open archway set at the ground level appears to be the only means of entry.

Proposed spells:

2nd: Aggressive Thundercloud, Burst of Radiance, Burst of Radiance
1st: Acid Maw, Feather Step, Liberating Command, Obscuring Mist
0th: Detect Magic, Guidance, Light, Stabilize

Happy to go to the tower now.

While a I appreciate the Burst of Radiance x2...It might be more useful to take one Bull's strength or Barkskin instead. Especially if whatever we face is magic resistant? You can cast it on one of us or Boros as well as needed.

Sounds good, Bull's Strength for one of the warriors as appropriate. It's also useful when the enemy happens to not be evil (e.g., those damn raptors).
