Go figure I get a Nat 20 on a skill I dont succeed either way lol
Okay, finally decided on animate objects for my new spell known. Sorry for taking so long on figuring that out.

Jack Frost nipping at your bros.
@DM Luthael was trying to hit the pixies on one side with the wall of fire and separate them with their snow man. It seems like it got put between the two walls. Did I miss understand?
Luthael: Sorry, I misunderstood what you were trying to do. I thought you were separating the two forts. Let me see. Both the snowmen are actually outside of their respective forts. Initially a little further back from each one.
The first one moved forward and would basically be on the PC side of the first snow fort now, although we will retcon that so he is forced to stay on the otherside and moving around your wall of fire. So he would be say 40' from Arianna and behind the wall of fire.
So you put it down the middle of the first snow fort. That separates the snowman and the three 'slingshot' pixies from the others lining the wall. That would be upslope from everyone as the fort was placed upslope from the trail. Do you want it closer to the pixies on the wall (and Gunnar) or closer to the other group? I'll make saves for which ever group if needed when I post next time.
Thanks. I want to separate the pixies with the snowman engaged with Ingryd.
In this theater of mind, I'll need help positioning these walls of fire, which is a go-to battlefield control. In hindsight, I wouldn't want to cut off Ingryd from our line of sight and would have bent the wall to give us LoS to her and separating/hitting as many bad guys as possible.
Sorry for the hassle.
Gunnar was trying to be right on top of the snow terror that ate Ingryd, first blasting it with a lightning bolt, then with burning hands. In both instances, he hoped to catch any evil fey possible in the background of those spells. It isn’t clear to me that he was successful with either attempt. Did he hit the snow terror that ate his friend with either of his spells?
At the beginning of the encounter everyone was strung out along the narrow path making their way across the slope. Ingryd, with her critical perception role, was at the back of the group and able to spot the ambush. Gunnar was up front with Scramsax.
The Snow Terror was further away from the wall and toward the trees, so was at least another move (remember it is all difficult terrain) further from those at the front of the line, closer to Ingryd at the rear. So Scramsax and Gunnar arrived at the wall at about the same time, but that was still 30' from the Snow Terror. No way to 'grab' for Ingryd, who also would have had full cover at that point. I misread your original post thinking you were just then trying to blast as many pixies as possible because you couldn't get both the snowman and the pixies in one shot. My apologies on the misread.
As for the burning hands, again, the snow terror is too far away and there is a wall of fire in between.
Sorry all, I guess the little encounter ended up being a lot more confusing than I anticipated.
No problem. I just visualized the tactical layout very differently.
Oops. I missed the end of the missing the save.
How many burning hands will release Luthael from the snow?
Cheers
Oh, sorry. I guess I should have made it more clear that Arianna was casting prestidigitation on Ingryd to clean her up before healing some of her wounds. She's less bear from hell and more bear from the salon at the moment. :P
Oh I got all spurced up
Of course! Arianna isn't going to let you just run around covered in muck. :D
Sorry all, really wish I had time to post right now but it will be a few hours. :)
That's alright. I eagerly await Scram's reaction to this.
Arianna. Luthael healed her for 22 hp. Lesser Restoration should cure hypothermia, unless the game mechanic is a level or two of exhaustion.
Unless you want to do all this for RP. Then, then I’ll nod and smile and let you lead.
Cheers
Mainly doing it for RP. The GM never said Ras took any damage or had any conditions from being frozen solid. I just figured that even a northlander would be freezing, so no need to spend any spells, I think.
I'm not sure what the exact mechanics are for hypothermia, but levels of exhaustion sounds right to me.
Anyway, if I'm being perfectly honest, part of it was a ploy to use Ingryd like a big, fluffy teddy bear. :P
Assuming the Ice Hyena hasn't already killed everyone in Levoca, I'm definitely going crazy with some mundane purchases for our next travel montage. A fleet of horses, a carriage, provisions upon provisions...etc.
Ingryd and Ras getting along like oil and water was not what I was expecting, but it is entertaining! Well, to me at least.
Honestly I can't believe Raseri has not exploded before now. I am expecting some backstory reason why she is so much more chill now. ;D
Well, an encounter with a goddess saying "ya done goofed" and the party saving her life has certainly had a role in that. She's also trying to gain their help and trust, and flying off the handle isn't exactly the best way to do that.
That said, if anyone calls Hugrekki a toothpick again, she is going to try beating the snot out of them.
Lol I mean Ingryd sees Scram as family.She can see her/his trauma tells. Just like Ingryd.
And so IngrydRas doesnt know how to take
It's alright. If Ras can't win you over with words, she'll bribe you with gear. :P
Apologies, but I fear I won't be posting tonight. My mind is shot and I'm starting to draw blanks when thinking about how Raseri and Arianna would act. Pretty good sign that I should call it for the night, I think.
Must be a mind scrambler playing two characters. Tempting though.
Especially these levels. Personally I never have characters here.
Would be fun if we just all played different characters for a quick off-camera story arc. Like a month or two. Just a thought. *ducks*
That would be fun. Honestly, as for playing two characters at once, it's not as bad as you might thing. It's a bit like being a GM, to be honest. The hard part's keeping personalities straight. I mean, I'm playing a chosen one paladin in a Curse of the Crimson Throne game that has a thrush for a familiar/spiritual guide. Tally's been a good source of comic relief and roleplay, at least I hope she has. One of the running gags is the Vigilante keep sneaking up on her and Audria.
Heh...problem resolved.
Arianna is now a 'guest' of the Margreve.
That was not how I was wanting her to exit. Oh well. Hopefully the forest will be kind enough to let her go back to her clan at some point, right?
Right?
Right?
Oh sure. She'll be able to get back there...eventually. But in the meantime she is able to converse with one of, if not the, oldest living being in Midgard. The consciousness of an entire forest even. It likely has some stories to tell that an elf bard would find quite interesting. Assuming she can get it to focus long enough. :)
Oh, She'll be loving that once she realizes it. As for focusing long enough, well, as long as she can eventually get the story, she's happy to let the forest ramble. :3
Now, I think Raseri's about to be in trouble, again. Poor girl can't catch a break since splitting Scram's skull. She's already apologized for it, too!
Question does Ingryds Cold Resistance help?
Whatever happened to those MC Hammer pants we had? We could maybe make a windbreaker out of them.
Question does Ingryds Cold Resistance help?
Not really necessary given your roll, but I think it would give you advantage on the saving throw.

Eeeeehehehehehe! I'm soooo happy to be playing Raseri again! I'm sure mishma is happy that this time she's on his side.
Well, assuming that her bad luck with die rolls doesn't return.
EDIT: ah-HA! Finally found something I've been looking for! So if you're wondering about the whole Lady of Storms thing, This is where it came from.
Writing that with you was fun. :) Good times when I could actually DM worth a crap, lol.
And glad to see Raseri didn't become a complete pacifist after all. ;)
Like I said, she was trying to make a good first impression. She's also supposed to be older, wiser, yatta, yatta. ;)
Sorry for the delay all. Busier than anticipated weekend. Will get an update posted tomorrow.
So are these Wolves attacks Magical? Just wonderinf about my Damage Resistance.
Ingryd: 8 points of lightning for the first hit; 6 points of lightning on the second. The rest is all normal.
So, the wargs become immune to an energy after they are hit with it, because warg 3 and 4 took zero damage from Luthael's fireball, right?
Actually, the fire damage healed them. So a little worse than just being immune.

Also wanting to check on what beast is glowing with which energy type on his next turn, and if any are clustered together in a line.
Beast 1: Engaged with Raseri(Radiant)
Beast 2: Engaged with Luthael(Radiant)
Beast 3: Dead
Beast 4: Engaged with Gunnar(Fire)
Beast 5&6: Engaged with Ingryd(Lightning)
All of them are in melee with a PC so any AOE spell will also affect the engaged PC. The only ones that could be affected together by a linear AOE would be 5&6. Getting any of the others would require a cone or circle.
Hey, sorry for going radio silent this weekend. I've been dealing with a recruitment (trying to narrow down 32 submissions to 6 and there are a lot of really, really good ones in there) and a bout of depression-induced apathy. I'll try catching up tomorrow.
Me too, been dead all weekend and today. I have a meeting this afternoon but will update immediately after.
No worries. I've had a mind numbing day today myself, so likely won't update until tomorrow.
Having some RL stuff guys, might be scarce for a bit.
