Good to know! LOL! :-D

Um, when did I cat lightning bolt? I was considering it for next action, but I don't remember posting that.

I thought you had disappeared. You are welcome to change the action now you are here

Sorry, I kinda had disappeared. For some reason my email notifications kept going to the spam folder and I hadn't noticed. I'm fine with that being my action. I didn't realize it was my turn.

Ahh, never mind. I loathe email notifications, they are unreliable

Lol I rely on any notifications I can get.

Check your HP - I think you are nearly down

Looks like I've been hit twice for a total of 15 damage. 8 hp remaining.

I just noticed you rolled for will magic. I wasn't sure when you'd want me th roll for that or if you'd roll that yourself. I'm kinda excited to see what happens when/if a wild surge happens

The PHB says I can make the 5% chance roll happen when you cast a spell L1 or higher. Of course, you are welcome to abuse TIDES OF FATE, which promote chaos all around :p

Lol I figured it would be required when I used a sorcery point and whenever you felt it was necessary/fun. That's cool! I'm all for a but of random chance surge fun :-P

Wild magic is awesome! :-D

I envision this campaign ending with fireball to self...

That happened to my players at a con I was DMing at. It was a glorious, glorious fireball that got the entire party.

Ha! If that happens, I accept fate's fickleness.

Alastor is flanking with Grizel & Lysander, not Sindar. But I'm sure you posted that for Katerina's benefit. But maybe any advantage Alastor may have gained from flanking is cancelled out by disadvantage from attempting to attack into the grapple?

In any case, I think the wolf bite has finished the summoned steed. He disappears in a flash of light.

Yeah, I didn't realize he was dying. It's OK, looks like we're finally doing some damage.

Are the Spirit Guardians still going?

Grizel is flanking, katerina is not. The wolf failed to kill alastor because of the SGs - I realised afterwards that I forgot to roll damage for the wolf at the start of this turn. SGs is insane!

I might be wrong (please check) but I think Grizel still has 7hp left after getting hit by Strahd's latest attack. Grizel's action last round was Lay on Hands on herself, bringing her up from 3hp to 18hp. http://gamersplane.com/forums/thread/704/?p=17783#p17783

You may be correct - I checked on your character sheet and it said 3HP. OK - so grizel is up (still grappling each other), all other actions are unchanged.

After this fight, I'll keep a record of all PC HPs along with the monsters so I don't get confused!
