Yeah it looks that way. It happens.
I'm in both Faem and Finraeth's ME 5e campaigns. They would be better placed to say.

I currently have an earache so my response time might be affected.
I'd also like to know the answer to that question.
Veig is game to Patrol the Wild.
True, that. ;)
I do indeed have Doomed to Die as well.
@Hartguard: Welcome! @Finraeth: Take care.
"I thought as much. They seemed like scoundrels to me."
With the tale ended, Veig cuts to the chase. "A fearsome tale and your troth appreciated! Dagmar claimed that were you a thief. We found his manner that of an overeager brute, not at least willing to travel with us here to ascertain identities. Did you take anything that would give a shred of truth to his words?"
Good stuff!
The words of the elf are potent indeed!
Veig nods. "I sought horrors in the forest alone and paid the same price as yourself. Do you still have a task undone that you were in such haste, or returning from such?"
Just to let you all know that Finraeth's player has come down with coronavirus. Not in an at-risk group but unavailable for a few days at least.
"Well met, Beran of the clan Lampbearer. I am Veig, son of Svior, servant of King Dáin of Erebor. You home of kin of The Magpie of Rhosgobel."
Take care, DM_DM.
No problem. I assumed context. The good news is good. Take care.
I was working off of the prior posts, as it seems we've skipped over entering Rhosgobel. Veig is so far just asking the injured man about why he's muttering about Radagast.
"Man, who are you? Do you know where Radagast is?"
I'm working from home, with the same hours. So same availability for me at the moment.
Veig, once healed up, would be up for Patrol the Wild. He is here to hunt down creatures of Shadow after all.
Veig looks over the wounded man.
"There was not just spider venom afflicting this man. A days-old beating and rough rope burns on his wrists also!"
Wait...this is discussion. Ack.
No worries. That can be quite an adjustment.
Veig hoists his frame out of the strangely light boat, his boots landing with an audible thump upon the ground. "Lead on, Magpie."
Take care, all. I also look forward to playing out arriving at Rhosgobel.
I'm game to continue. Arcs are fine by me. What's working are the descriptions. What's not working are long pauses waiting on one person. I strongly suggest that especially in combat, 24 hours and someone gets botted. Sooner if they've said they're going to be away and there's no point waiting the full 24 hours. It'll help keep things moving. To be clear, I grant full permission for Veig to be GM botted in combat as necessary. As for fellowship phase, let's make Rhosgobel a Sanctuary!
Any restrictions on what we can attempt for the fellowship phase?
"Aye, Amalina, you have done well.", adds the dwarf as he packs up his gear and makes ready to depart.
Veig earned it and spent it.
Veig remains near the healer. He feels more exhausted than he has in a long time.
Veig grunts but nods. "I have take sore injuries this night and I am not alone in that. I will go with the Magpie for now."
I'm a bit stuck. Veig's response could well differ if he wasn't so badly injured as well as poisoned. That said, withdrawing seems wise and he's had a rough enough night that he's open to the idea.
Veig stands with his axe but does not advance. I would be foolish indeed to wander off after just asking for healing.
"Amalina, I am considerably wounded and still envenomed. Anything that you could do to ease either would be appreciated."
Veig looks like he ought to sleep but nods. "Aye, lead on, Radegund."
"Radegund, is there a ford nearby?"
"If we are so close, then we may as well carry on a bit farther. Lest Dagmar and her band attempt ambush."
"Ye ally yourself with foul magic and approach in the dead of night? HAH!", spits Veig and says no more. The dwarf glares at the other band until they are out of sight. "We had best post sentries.", he mutters.
Good to hear! If you need us to post something, just say. :)
Also waiting here.
If Dagmar keeps fighting, Veig will keep swinging! Though he's not going to chase the harper if the harper does get away.
Dagmar's strike would have dropped many by itself, let alone someone already wounded and filled with spider venom. Veig, however, is not just someone. He does not fall, he barely even flinches. As the harper tries to flee, Veig roars as he swings again! "STAND AND FIGHT, YOU WRETCH!" And the mattock tip rises - and falls!
Oh, absolutely!
@DM_DM: Not so fast! Veig is in his battle fury so he has resistance to piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning damage. So that is actually 4 damage!
I agree that flanking should not give advantage in a 5e game. It's simply too strong, as DM_DM and Finraeth note.
Cheers for the heads up, DM_DM.
Veig has been very restrained. He only struck out once for being tormented with sorcery.
"DROP...THE..HARP.", Veig growls, his rage and despair struggling for dominance.
Cheers for the heads up Finraeth. Take care.
