GM, unless otherwise indicated, Alorea will now be Avoiding Notice as her exploration activity, allowing her to roll her Stealth bonus for initiative (+9).

Sorry for delay! Posting now.
I'm really sorry but I've been called away with a family emergency. I won't be doing much in the way of posting until Sunday.
I know Brainiac is also away at the moment so let's pick things up when we're both back.
Back now, sorry about that. Assuming Brainiac is back from solitary confinement or whatever punishment takes away his internet access for that long, I will move us on again.
Yes I am here!
Posted, combat over. Make sure you heal up before you move on. Just saying.
Although you're sickened 2 until you get out of here.
Your call, but I'd retreat now. This thing is CR 5 and I rolled really badly last round. With 2/3 of you blinded and the other one out of spells this could be a TPK and I've had enough of those in my time.
True, hopefully Alorea can guide you both! I'd say retreating while blind is a hell of a lot easier than fighting while blind.
How are we doing on this? I apologise for the momentum that we've lost; I would like to finish the module, but I know that stop-start posting doesn't make it easy to maintain interest.
Sorry, I've been busier than usual lately. Go up a quick post.
To be clear, that whole thing with the hellhound and the undead dwarf is (literally) a side-quest. Even if you kill it, you'd have to come back out of there and down the lift shaft in order to get to where you need to be.
"That dwarf doesn't seem to leave his cave, so that's one thing." She says slowly. "Von, could you shoot it down at range? I could stand in the entrance in case it comes out..."
Because of the smoke, visibility is limited in the cavern to about 20 feet - so someone would need to stand between Vy and the dwarf in order to let her shoot uninterrupted.
Hi all
unfortunately I've come down with a bug, I won't be posting for another 12-24 hours or so at least.
Sorry, turned out to be Covid which completely flattened me! Posting now.
Oof, sorry for radio silence: I thought I was better and then ended up going to hospital, which is pretty much the opposite of getting better. I'm still groggy from the drugs but will post either later this evening (UK time) or tomorrow morning, depending on how I'm doing.
You guys may have overlooked that you're carrying a light source, which means that they will definitely notice you sooner rather than later!
Apologies for dropping the ball here - I got called away with a work emergency that led to too much time in too many airports, I think my brain is still somewhere over the Atlantic. I desperately need to sleep and I will pick up again on Saturday morning (European time).
