Out of Character

I have made a critical error: even though my weapon is two-handed, I have kept my shield, thinking that on my turn I can use my free object interaction to drop the shield just before I attack. But I just learned that doffing a shield is an action! :-(

Hopefully, my shot just connected to help out a little more :)

I’ve made a critical error of angering the dice roller apparently lol

hahah it looks like the RNG deity didnt like my singing XD

Haha, maybe Hasan is on the bubble!

Nat 20, followed by a 1 for the damage roll, so you aren't the only one mate.

I hate to be that guy, but my understanding of Critical Hits in 5th Edition is that you get to roll extra damage dice but you only add your ability modifier once.

BUT as a rogue, Atrix gets to deal sneak attack damage, and that also gets doubled on a crit! I'm confident that still downs the hob knight.

You're absolutely right about the critical hits. The sneak attack wouldn't apply as the knight wasnt engaged with a conscious ally. I'm still okay with the knight going down; I had assigned him PLOT hit points, heh.

HMMMMMM....I do wonder about this knight now...

;-)

To help speed the game along I have been rolling sneak damage figuring Qralloq could take or leave it as appropriate. Once I have that ability that lets me hide, I'll do the same with my stealth rolls.

That is the most fun I have had in PbP in ages. Thanks everyone :)

There is still one last hobgoblin fighting to the death.

P.S. And yes, it's been fun so far. In my case, fun roleplay. So far have been pretty ineffective in combat.

You and me both! Iathos' sole contribution to combat was to sponge the first round of attacks from two hobs. Hopefully he's more helpful as time goes on.

i got some dmg in before i went down :D i was happy for a bit :D

I would take the curved sword and a shield if you don’t want the sword Camp

Take it. I'm sticking to my double-scimitar.

Ok. Depending on its stats I like my two handed axe but sword and board is good too

After we learn the result of the search for clues (I imagine some of you guys are better than me at Investigation), Valinar will interrogate the prisoner. I imagine he has the highest Persuasion and Intimidation (+5) of the group, but a Help action to grant Advantage would be useful. Mechanically, that can come from anyone, but narratively it makes the best sense for Trev (for Intimidation) &/or Iathos (for Persuasion) to assist in that task.

I'm not sure how persuasive my best up tiefling will be, but happy to help when I wake up!
