I'm leaving on a business trip Sunday afternoon returning Thursday night.

I may not be able to post.

cheers

Sorry team. I'm leaving on a business trip again Monday morning returning Wednesday night. And I celebrate the Superbowl.

I may not be able to post.

Please decide which of the 7 openings you're going to open first. Thanks

cheers

Anyone interested in the cloak?

I have a Manta Ray CLoak

I am very happy to already have one such cloak (one of the best magic items out there)

I also splurged on one as well.

...and I have a cloak of elvenkind attuned, so I'm not interested. Looks like it's Blacklock's or Badger's!

We can do whatever with the cloak. I will sat that Blacklock already has an AC of 17 and Badger is still in club 16.

Ah in that case the choice is clear, all yours. :)

How are we on healing? Right now Tarn has 4 potions, which Blacklock is welcome to.

Blacklock has one last potion at his belt.

Unless we get a long rest I'm cantrips only.

I've got two potions and two second level spell slots.

I have two spells memorized: protection from poison and lesser restoration, but I'm not sure how they are supposed to be effective. So far, it looks like missing a poison save just means more damage; there is no poisoned condition to lift. Is that just because of the particular enemies we have been coming across? Am I missing an opportunity to help neutralize the potency of these spiders we are facing?

Whoops! Sorry to take so long to post. I see you DMPC'd me, posting right after I did.

Want to just say that your rolls were for last round, and mine for htis round?

Sounds good!

Have to say I overlooked the Gem of Brightness before. That DC 15 AoE is pretty nice.

Indeed! Too much pathfinder made me look down on DC15. But in 5e it’s actually a really potent item

With Blacklock's 50 ft move and 11 strength, he could carry the box solo and still move at 20 ft (or more with Step of the Wind ki ability and double dashing).

Tarn just grabbed it and moved 15ft. He can pass it off to Blacklock who can then take it another 20ft.

I was thinking I'd follow along last, so if anyone got knocked around and got too low on hit points, I could get them up and running again.

And here I didn't stuy Tensers Floating Disc

Wait and I'm the only one who failed my Save

I think that us working together...

I admit I didn't think about it at all (drunk etc). Let's see!

Blacklock base speed = 50 ft, double dash for 150. Or 50 (150)
Argyri base speed = 30 ft, double dash for 90. Or 30 (90)

We have the same strength category, so solo we get reduced to:

B: 20 (60)
A: 0 (0)

Then together our strength is 21, putting us into the -10 category and we get:

B: 40 (120)
A: 20 (60)

So yes, although carrying it together would slow Blacklock down, it would be the exact same speed he could achieve solo.

Drusilla

You're in the stairwell block any other character from attacking the creature in melee. Would you mind if I changed your action to Disengage letting you Move without getting an Attack of Opportunity from this Maw Demon, so Tarn can move into melee and attack?

With my mapping and theater of the mind, it's super hard to see this situation.

thanks

Yes that is pretty much what I am looking for is a strategic retreat.

Anyone have some crowd control so Tarn can fall back? Technically he could go down with the ship if needed, but it’s much more preferable to get to the boat.

I have hold person, but if I do that I lose concentration on bless. I cast the bless to give the less agile amongst us a bonus on the saves vs. the lurching ship.

If it helps, we'll toast your memory and tell your story? ;)

Sorry, delayed posting because I think I was confused if Argyri and I could act while holding the box.

Does Drusilla have grease ready to go? It would let Tarn retreat

Someone might want to prevent the box from sliding into the sea.

Jubal: do we know how much it'll take to keep the box from sliding off? I'm wondering if Argyri can tell if one person would be enough.

Team: If she's able, she's probably a good one to fight the demons (high damage with sneak, good acrobatics, and able to retreat). Blacklock has very similar strengths.

Maybe two casters can hold the box with one hand each, and still cast? Or maybe one person holds the box for the team, and the rest battle until we get rescued?

What do yall think?

I can hold the box while Arg fights, I'm sure your DPS is higher than mine.

One person should be able to hold the box in place.

OK, I see Badger already posted running over to grab it. Maybe you and I go poke some demons in the eye?

I have only cantrips left

Three PCs can melee at the top of the stairs against one demon. Tarn and Agryri are there currently.

Cheers

Are there still tentacles attacking the boat? Or has the kraken/whatnot done it's damage and left?

Still attacking

Hey guys, really sorry to do this again, but I need to take a break from the boards. I will let you know when things settle down...I will probably be back in a few months.

Hopefully see you soon Blacklock.

Waiting for some posts before I push on to Saltmarsh.

cheers

mishima, I totally respect needing to step back.

If it makes sense to rejoin, it'll be great to play with you again.

Agreed. While it's always a treat to have Blacklock here, your health is more important. If and when you decide to return, it will be great to have you back.

Stay safe. You will be missed. Take care of yourself.

Weird, I keep typing in 1d4500 and it comes out as 1d1001
1d1001 ⇒ 580

Let’s try 1d2000
1d1001 ⇒ 824

So that’s the max that can be rolled.

4d1000 + 1d500 ⇒ (992, 528, 267, 610) + (217) = 2614

Can’t afford that. Let’s try for an uncommon magic item. Cost: 1d400 + 100 ⇒ (62) + 100 = 162
Weeks: 1d4 ⇒ 1

3rd level spells: Galdar's Tower, Melf's Minute Meteors

Will use Galdar's tower to build a two level tower daily on the Crab Infested beach. As it gives me two rooms.

Hey guys, really sorry to do this again, but I need to take a break from the boards. I will let you know when things settle down...I will probably be back in a few months.

Completely understandable. Real life comes first, always. I hope all is well, and I hope we cross paths again.

Common magic items are (1d60 +40) gp. Uncommon magic items are (1d400 +100) gp and take 1d4 weeks to find. And, rare magic items are (1d4500 +500) gp and take 2d4 weeks to find.

Jubal, do you want 1d400 or 4d100? The former will be vary pretty wildly. The latter will be closer to a bell curve.

-----EDIT-----

I just saw that last Downtime you set the following prices

* Common rarity = 50 +5d10 gp
* Uncommon rarity = 100 +5d100 gp

...though I have no objection to prices having fallen. Maybe it's because now we're Big Damn Heroes! ;-)

-----EDIT 2----

Oh! Forgot to roll HP
HP: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

WOOT!

I just saw that last Downtime you set the following prices

* Common rarity = 50 +5d10 gp
* Uncommon rarity = 100 +5d100 gp

Thanks. I couldn't find them. Let's use them and add:

* Rare rarity = 500 +45d100 gp

Don't forget 1d4 weeks for Uncommon and 2d4 weeks for Rare

cheers

Rolled with discount: 162 + 1d100 ⇒ 162 + (44) = 206

Profile is updated. I think that my plan right now is to save up for a Flame Tongue weapon. It should stack with his invocation, making it a good choice for him.

Headband of Intellect Uncommon: 100 + 5d100 ⇒ 100 + (27, 24, 98, 7, 39) = 295

Scroll of Dispel MagicUncommon: 100 + 1d500 ⇒ 100 + (259) = 359

No commons then and now the weeks

Headband Weeks: 1d4 ⇒ 4
