Caelryl's elation at the group killing 3 of their opponents is short lived as Zig falls to the antipaladin. With more room to maneuver, he takes a step around the last opponent to flank it with Fumbus. While moving, he looks for a weak spot in his defences and takes a swing.
Caelryl takes a swing at the cleric as he begins to cast a spell but misses.
Caelryl takes a moment to study his new target before attacking with his magic sword.
Caelryl wakes the next morning, steal feeling the effects of the battle with the elementals. He takes some time gathering berries and herbs to help sooth his wounds but it doesn't help.
Disappointed, he shrugs his shoulders and returns to the labyrinth with weapons drawn. He chuckles at his companions musings about being heroes. "Given those options, I suppose I will get enlarged too," he says. Seeing the evil group, he studies the anti-paladin to determine his weaknesses and lets the group know.
He then tries to take advantage of his size and knowledge of his foe.
I'm working on leveling up. Looking at taking an animal companion. Given that only fighters get an AoO, it seems to me the only benefit of taking a wolf to trip is that the opponent needs to use an action to stand or am I missing something?
I'm at 16 hp currently. Where is everyone with spells? If we're tapped after the elementals combat, we should probably do a long rest before taking on the boss. Assuming that wouldn't cause any problems.
A little relieved to see only one attacker now, Caelryl continues to try to keep himself alive and hopes his companions can finish off the last elemental. He renews his shield and drinks another potion.
Fearful for his life and unable to escape the elementals, Caelryl does his best to stay alive. He drops his ordinary sword and says a few magical words as a shimmering shield appears before him. He then grabs a minor potion of healing from his belt pouch and drinks it.
Caelryl cringes in pain as he gets slammed into multiple times by the elementals. He tries to retaliate against the earth elemental before withdrawing to safety, trying to avoid getting hit again.
Happy to see the damage the bombs have done, Caelryl pauses for a moment to see if Fumbus and Nerze finish off the mummies before choosing his target. He moves up to try to finish the creature off.
Caelryl looks around the room. When Nerze mentions the elementals, he draws his swords. "I don't see anything. Does anyone else?" he asks.
Caelryl tries to help Nerze disable the trap.
Caelryl looks around at the fallen gnolls, hoping there aren't more. When he sees that the battle is over, he turns his attention to Zig to see if he's still alive.
Not sure that he did anything to help, he's relieved when Zig sits up. "You took quite a hit," he tells his confused companion.
Concerned that he didn't even wound a gnoll, he braces for the oncoming attacks while hoping his companions behind him can take some out before they attack.
His focus on the battle allows him to duck and cover his head before getting hit from the rocks which saves him from a more serious injury.
Concerned that he's now the front line by himself, Caelryl studies the gnoll that Fumbus hit with his latest attack and tries to finish him off.
Seeing the cramped path, Caelryl draws both swords and joins Zig to create a skirmish line. He gets ready to attack the first gnoll that gets near him.
He then studies the closest gnoll before swinging with both swords.
Caelryl tries to finish off a scorpion using his new sword, targeting it's soft spot.
Caelryl walks out from behind the rock to view the scorpions and get their attention. "Let them come to us", he tells his companions including any knowledge he has about the creatures. He then readies his new sword to attack if one comes into reach.
Caelryl startles awake, concerned that he let his guard down by sleeping so soundly. He looks around in confusion, trying to figure out where the short sword laying next to him came from. Seeing the others in the group with new items also, he cautiously picks it up. "Hmm, maybe the gods don't want the gem falling into the hands of the evil cult," he says while looking at the new weapon. He stops talking when he hears the noise behind the boulders and moves up with Zig to investigate, drawing an old sword to go with the new one.
As it gets later in the day, Caerlyl begins to look around for an area to camp. Finding a suitable spot, he makes camp and goes hunting but is only able to find enough food for himself.
"We need to take turns on watch. I don't have a preference but I know the rest of you may need time to prepare or study," he says to the others.
Caelryl is in good spirits, getting to spend time out in nature. He points out different plants and animals along the way. Based on the dwarf's continual grumbling, he determines that Nerze isn't the outdoor type and is not too interested in broadening that area of knowledge. He redirects his comments to Fumbus, figuring he may have an interest in different plants for his alchemy. Seeing the hyenas, he draws his bow and studies the leader before letting an arrow fly.
Zig - congrats on graduating college Looks like it will take us 5 days to walk there or 3 if we ride, but I don't think we can afford to buy ponies or horses. Make sure we all have food. I can forage for myself and maybe one other with a critical success.
Looks like just 4 of us left. Does anyone want any of the items? Other than the potion of healing, I don't think I can use them. I'm not sure how many players we are dividing up between. Edit: Seems the other ranger has disappeared so I could take the light arrows. I'm going to buy an minor elixir of life, 2 minor potions of healing, 2 Silversheen, Holy Water, Oil of Potency for 20 gp total. I'll adjust if I don't have enough gold. Not really sure what skill feat to take. I'll take Trick magic item so maybe I can activate a healing wand if we find one.
Am I reading this correctly that we can only add 1 skill point to each of my current skills at level 2 and have to wait until I get a skill increase at level 3 if I want to learn a new skill? Alternatively, instead of becoming trained in a new skill with the skill increase, I can become an expert in a skill I'm already trained in? Is that the only way to move up the skill chain (trained - expert - master - legendary)? Edit: Is looks like I can also become trained in a new skill by using my skill feat to take skill training, correct?
Seeing Flint take 2 big hits, Caelryl moves up to help attack.
Caelryl moves up to the top of the stairs to study their foe. Not seeing room for him in the crowded area, he waits for an opening.
Caelryl walks with the others back to the fountain, checking his wound as he goes. "I think I'll wait to drink." He then follows Fumbus out the east door.
Caelryl cringes when he sees Zig engulfed in flames and shakes his head that the spell casting goblin kills one of his own. Distracted, he can't avoid the attack of the nearest goblin but is more worried about another burning hands spell coming in his direction.
Ducking down behind the warrior goblin just before the spell is cast, he seems to avoid the flames. With only one enemy left, he studies the goblin for a moment, noting that his neck is unprotected, before moving up and attacking.
Can someone help me understand twf in this edition? Is the attack with the off-hand weapon considered a second action or part of the first?
Seeing Zig strike down a goblin, Caelryl moves up to try to finish off the injured one.
"Let's head back to that side passage we passed. "
Were the skeletons in the oval room where our tokens are now? I don't see stairs on the map so I'm a little confused.
"Very nice. That could come in handy. Anyone have a preference on which door to go through? If not, then let's continue North," Caelryl says, checking the door for traps before opening it.
"Need something to wash those bugs down, Fumbus?" Caelryl says jokingly. "Be careful getting too close to the pool. Anything could be hiding in that black water," he says while waiting to see if anyone know what this room is for.
"Well done, in more ways than one," Caelryl says with a smile and looking around to see if anyone got his joke. "I hope that's how Fumbus likes his beetles," he says chuckling. Once they finish searching the room, he moves towards the west end of the cavern to continue exploring.
While Zig tries to heal himself and Flint, Caelryl searches the room to their south. "Hmm, I wonder what happened here. Maybe this group of goblins fought these skeletons and the 2 we just fought survived this battle," he says as he searches the bodies and the room. Once he is done and Flint is as healed as the group can get him, he moves over to where Fumbus is looking for food.
Caelryl looks at Flint with concern and amazement. "How are you still standing after those attacks? We need to get you healed before moving on. Unfortunately, I'm of no help in that regard. Can you help him Zig?" he says looking over at the cleric.
Caelryl follows the others to the west, assuming they know where the sound was coming from.
Caelryl stops when Zig mentions bugs and then Thom mentions goblins. "Where? I don't here anything," he says looking around and preparing for battle with his swords drawn.
Caelryl nods with satisfaction. "Well done team. We handled that easily. Let's see what's down this passageway," he says pointing to the north. Once Atlas takes point, he falls into line behind Flint.
Seeing no way around the creature, Caelryl moves up to attack it.
Caelryl pauses to inspect the creature, trying to determine what it is.
Caelryl draws his swords and follows along, positioning himself towards the front but letting others take the lead.
Caelryl nods in agreement to the half-elf's statement. "Yes, I think we can help. When did this happen? And do you know where the goblin tribe is located?" he asks.
