You know, sometimes I want to start explaining to the group that not all my characters are like that... Mishima won't let me lie - we play another module together and my good druid there speaks only on business and periodically saves or tries to die for the party. So don't judge me by Simon, if anything ))

Oh, don't worry, this is just Astrid <3 She will settle down a little bit when she gets to know you all better. Surviving in hell and all.
I think Simon is GREAT.

Nap badly needed, update in a few hours. Thanks for patience.

If you guys don't want to assign/think about watches I can just do alphabetical groups.
And also yes, Simon really drips character I love it.

Getting the isometrics for your characters together tonight. Found a cool one for Astrid, Donal and Grim (I think). Check Grid under my profile if interested, trying to use art instead of minis if possible.
If you guys find artwork you like just let me know, it doesn't have to be a true isometric...just a full body shot.
Not bad. He's neater than I picture him :)

Heh, ok well consider it a placeholder until we dig up an alternative. I'm just searching google images for them.

Very cool!!!
A little creates the mood of the Final Fantasy, but why not?
I like it )

Here's where I've got you guys for hp and HD:

Malaric 33 /34 2
Simon 43 /47 1

Astrid, Donal, spending any HD this short rest? Remember you only regain half your HD on a long rest.
Lulu: 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3, 5, 3) + 4 = 21
Reya: 4d8 + 8 ⇒ (1, 6, 4, 1) + 8 = 20

Astrid really needs a long rest before we go do anything like trying to find the citadel.
★Avernus★ Art 2 ★ Grid
It will be pretty tough to get a long rest with the horde on the loose and the Blood War geysering up...but you can try.

Mal has 0 HD having short rested before going to hell.
Cannot wait for next level and tiny hut

Thanks Mal, and yeah...a bit unfair to start hell team at full 5 when surface team carried over their spents. Thanks for being good sport, won't be long relatively speaking for next level.

Fair enough on the long rest, ahahaha.

Not trying to discourage an attempt, just saying. Full disclosure it will be some random rolls, you might get lucky. But 8 hours is a long time in this chaos.

Well...I'm thinking if we head into the sublevels, we can seal off access behind us (assuming we are sure there's another way out). That might buy ourselves a little more time hidden from the horde and a better place to rest before making the final push to the citadel.
Whether we stay and try to rest now or leave with only a short rest, Syrina will go ahead and do a little exploring to try and find a connection to the city tunnels Harkina and Lucian used.
★Avernus★ Art 2 ★ Grid
That is certainly a reasonably rational precaution you could take in an attempt to secure a long rest in this situation. Are half+ party game? (if so the bones will be tossed)
If not, who is joining Syrina on the hunt for tunnels?

Marked it on my latest post. I am at 46/47 right now, with the use of Second Wind before the short rest and 1 HD.

Ah, so about 150 years. Possible, if Kreeg had made a pact for a longer lifespan... I had thought that there was mention of him being in power for an inordinately long time... but maybe I was misremembering...
★Avernus★ Art 2 ★ Grid
Not the case, Kreeg came into power in 1444 (48 years ago) when the previous High Observer was discovered to be a vampire lord. Sylvira the Archmage back in Candlekeep was there and recounted the transition of power (possibly only to Simon? I would have to look back in thread).
Lmao that's hilarious.
"Let's get rid of the vampire... our next ruler will be better. No way he can be worse, right?"
★Avernus★ Art 2 ★ Grid
Yeah, by popular account he was amazing and loved for the near 5 decades of his rule. It really is a shock to Reya. Remember he is the reason the beloved Companion appeared in the first place (which killed all the undead in a looong radius). He is the one who turned the town of Elturel into the nation of Elturgard, cobbling together some of the lesser city states and putting up new fortifications around the Fields of the Dead.

Got it... I guess I kind of created my own narrative based on what I thought would be a cool story... ;p

Okay, I am kind of confused as to what everyone is doing and what the plan is, so I'd like to hash that out really quickly.
Who is doing recon?
Are we attempting a long rest? (I forgot wildshape comes back after a short rest, so Astrid can hold on a little longer without one. She's just tired, lol.)
Is there a point of doing recon if we're not doing the long rest, or should we all just go down into the sewers?
★Avernus★ Art 2 ★ Grid
There is no guarantee a connection to sewers is under this building. Syrina wanted to check and see if that was the case. Sami didn't think so.
Party is going down to investigate, with some scouting ahead of the party so they can stealth mode and maybe get surprise without the others ruining it.

Okay, so then my last question is just amended to, "If we aren't attempting a long rest, should we all just join in the recon?"

★Avernus★ Art 2 ★ Grid
Yeah I'm assuming everyone is going down there. Its just some are getting ahead a few feet. This smaller scouting group was what I meant by recon squad.
In the old days it was like 90 ft in front of party when elf and ranger abilities would 'activate' for stealth and surprise bonuses. 90 ft still makes sense to me in 5e because of rogue's double dash (triple move for 90). Grim suggested 50 which is also fine.
★Avernus★ Art 2 ★ Grid
Will update in an hour or two if anyone else wants to act at this point.

I was confused, I thought the scouts were going to act or return to report, but Simon just walked in and took charge. So I think Donal will just watch and see how this plays out, but is ready to charge into the fray...
★Avernus★ Art 2 ★ Grid
I was considering anyone who rolled stealth to be part of the forward unit, fwiw.
