Particularly charismatic kobolds, could be fun(ny)!

If you WERE to play a kobold, what would you play?

Hmmmmm...could play a chaotic spell caster (like King Bumi in ATLA). Could play a goody two-shoes fighter type. Or maybe a druidic kobold, that would be interesting.

Hey if we wanna do all kobolds that could be fun :-)

(Am here, am following the convo, am chuckling at "Ice Road Truck Trackers")

Whoa I didn't know that was a thing!

I'll have to see if I can root through Greycastle's stuff while he's at work and find it :-)

Hmmmm, I don't have a character idea already. So many possibilities...

Sounds good. I don't know about the books.
I have never DM'd before, I'm terrible at remembering rules, but I could give it a go (husband would be obligated to help!).

So.....moving on? Thoughts?

I'm cool with all of those options, though it would be nice to finish this one out.

Free action to say Well that wasn't a nice thing to say.

So....we don't need to spend the hit dice then, right? Either way, thanks Quen!

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Once everyone is back to not bleeding out, Io will spend a few moments cleaning up his appearance (cast prestidigitation) because you just never know. He will then sneak up with everyone else (within whispering range but not too close to his companions) and see what happens with these fey and their guest.

Hit dice: 4d8 + 2 ⇒ (1, 8, 2, 6) + 2 = 19

Maybe instead of jumping into a fray, the damaged people can take a few to heal or drink potions?

Io is also at less than half hitpoints, only has 1 healing potion

Nature: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Io sneaks back to the group, and says that there is a gnoll speaking to two fey folks in a big clearing. One of them has some sort of dog like pet. He mentions the fey don't appear to understand the gnoll, but it doesn't look like anything bad is about to go down. So...do we pass them by? Confront? We do need to find whatever killed these poor people still.

Io whispers for the group to stay here, and he sneaks up...
Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

General Int check for that Nature roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Quietly, Io says he thinks the language being spoken is Sylvan, maybe being spoken by Quick folk or, after a moment's thought, he says maybe Darklings? Or I could be remembering it wrong!

Sorry yes he says they scamper off, but a single fox remains and then starts yipping at the group. I didn't mean to say they didn't survive.

I think it's just the fox who remains.

At the mention of "poo", many castings of Presdigitation happen. And he gives the fox Gio's water. If the fox will allow it, Io will scratch his head. Trying to figure out how friendly it is.

And then Romeo & Juliet came out a few years later, swoon. I still have the soundtrack to that.

I feel like my check above would be a failed Nature check instead, so not re-rolling.

As the critters scamper, Io motions the small group to come on up. I don't know what that was, or why they were stuck together, but of course I suspect it has something to do with this gnoll cult thing.

Noticing the yipping fox, he squats down. If it doesn't flee, he will gently hold out his hand like you should! just a loose fist with fingers curled under. Hey little one, what are you about?

Dex check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Dex check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Dex check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Not sure how many were needed but that looks good??

Io cautiously approaches the tangle of beasts and bends to help them. It takes quite a bit of effort, but in the end, he manages to free them.

idk some sort of check to try to tell what happened? Perception check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Well they can't all be winners.

You must be about my age, because I remember reading that and having the new movie to watch. Loved all of the Shakespeare we got to read. Did not get introduced to Tolkien until college. Never could make it through his books save the Hobbit, which I loved.

That's a heavy schedule, Quen! Also looks like fun (I was a nerdy student).

Io says the same thing as Gio, both repulsed by and curious about the mad pile of critters. He will quietly edge closer to see what is going on.

stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

He makes no noise at all.

Random Intelligence check on the holy symbol: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Did....did she just die? I thought you just healed her! Matters of healing and religion are not Io's forte.

If no one else does, he gently picks up the locket to examine it, and will hand it to anyone else who actually makes that religion check.

Good grief with the eyeballs, hope this gets 'em back to good. Not fun.

Yeah Io's hanging back a bit, his usual stay out of sight until the situation is under control (or not).

Hahaha I wondered if the system would allow a "naughty" word. Too funny.

Haha that's awesome. Copy + paste?
Arcana check!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Alrighty then

Oh! I know that! There was an anthropology book I loved to read when I was supposed to be studying hexes or whatever silly thing my family thought I could learn. That's the mark of, hmmmm, Yeen...Yeen...Yeenoghu? Yeah, Yeenoghu! He's some gnoll royalty, a demon with some wicked powers. His followers insist he's a god, they're into some crazy shit. I think they eat their own babies. 'Course that book was a bit fanciful, had some wonderful illustrations in it.

Good catch, Gui! Wonder what made them attack these poor folks.

Um I don't remember which one I halved, so go with the first one's damage and dodge the second attack?? That works! Glad it was just ("just"!!) internet outage. My brain always goes to the worst possible scenario.

Investigation check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
LOL welp next!

Io pants and catches his breath, kicking at all of the dead corpses, unable to make heads or tails of it.

Yeah, sounds good, disasters happen. Hope everything is okay...

Glad you're okay, G, hope our GM is too?! I worry about teachers, and kids, with this whole back to school discussion.

Must keep hacking: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 3d6 ⇒ (8) + 4 + (3, 2, 3) = 20

Con save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

The attack is vicious, but somehow not as effective as the dog wants. [ooc]Uncanny dodge taken for this round....[/dice]

(Please stay safe!)

So many districts and cities trying to figure that out right now. I'm helping build a set of courses geared entirely towards teachers working remotely because of the pandemic (which is to say, everyone is scrambling). I've heard some interesting ideas, but none of them seem safe to me :-(

Muttering to himself about mangy mutts and murder...
more +1 rapier attacking: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Still got one Lucky left after this: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Much better attack, now here's the damage: 1d8 + 4 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + (3, 5, 1) = 16
They can't all be winners, but we'll take it.

....he (steps up if he has to) slashes at one of the other dog men, hoping to end this quickly.

7 hours of meetings?!?! Ugh!!

Thank you!

OK, trying to shake off that vicious attack, Io stabs again at the creature.

att: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
dam: 1d8 + 4 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (5, 5, 6) = 22

daym
Also sorry for being confused.

OK a bit confused then.

The original two damage rolls against Io totaled 9 + 10. I figured since DM says there's only 14 total damage, the first one was halved from Uncanny Dodge.

I failed the CON save. I took the 14 damage.

Are we at the top of the round again? Sorry, when I checked yesterday, Giu had just gone.

OOF right out the gate! Con save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Lucky that: Con save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11. Sigh / lol.

Sorry, I said he stepped up but wasn't specific. He would have crossed the distance to get to the nearest dog. If that means there's no sneak that can be used, he'd still make the same attack.

Rapier +1 attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
damage, including sneak dice: 1d8 + 4 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + (2, 3, 6) = 18

Io unsheathes his rather shiny blade and brandishes it a couple of times before quickly stepping up to the nearest murdering dog and strategically stabbing it through the ribs.

Saving Io's reaction for uncanny dodge, ooo yeahhh.

I think folks want to roll with the 4 we got.

Io has a different blade, too, but he makes no mention of it. I know we get it for tier, but Imma play it like he did an old switcheroo on someone because this rogue likes pretty things.

More is merrier, but I'm cool with the small group. Maybe see if we can poach one or two more folks if you're okay with that?

That's wonderful, Giuseppe! Nice signet, is it... he stops short as the howl and scream sound.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
