Party Strategy

For discussion of any party strategy or planning that doesn't fit in the game thread.

I don't know when it would be appropriate after the flood trap, but Hollow is hurt bad and we don't have a healer, so a short rest in which she can spend her Hit Die would be great.

I should hand out some potions of healing here pretty soon!

Potions instead of gold would not bother me!

Is the bridge too far for me to access? I assume so, and I left my ranged weaponry with the NPCs at the cart.

This is not a good start for the Committee of Resistance Against Paranormality (Kama's initial brainstorming suggestion).

The bridge is about 20 feet in the air, so yeah, a bit far.

Well, you now have a javelin at your feet that you can throw!

Would Hollow be able to make it back into the room with a single move action and be within 60 ft of the bridge? Or should I use my full turn to move back to the bridge room?

It will take 15 feet of your movement to get INTO the "wolf room" with Xora, or it will take 25 feet of movement to make it to Kama's side.
Since Wish used his action to help you up, you don't have to spend any of your movement on standing back up.

Is the rest if the party visible from where I am?

Man, I feel like you gave me that call, Naat. Thanks! :)

For the rest of the party, Kama is going to charge forward. His intent is to get into the thick of the goblins quickly so as to buy you all time to advance and pick them off with ranged weapons.

They are visible if you step back into the main passageway.

Oh yeah, I totally gave you that. It added to the fun I think (and I gave him a dex save to keep his balance, so it's his fault he died) :)

Btw thanks for those saving throw rolls! :-D

You're very welcome!

Anyone have ideas on what to do about this captured goblin? I somehow doubt he is willful enough to handle Hollow's pet wolves, but a part of me is thinking of finding a noble use for him.

I figure at minimum he can serve as a guide.

Guide, translator, intermediary...?

Works for me.

Anyone have anything that can encompass all 6 Redbrands? Or confuse, impede, or otherwise delay them so the fighter can close in?

CancerMan, I love how you've revised Kama's portrait to a zoomed-in/enlarged view of his torso. It's very cinematic: as the action gets more intense, the camera zooms in...

Heh, I had decided to use zoomed-in portraits instead for regular postings. I've realized that I like seeing portraits during conversations rather than full-body images, which are fine for character introductions.

Good idea!

Are you attempting to hit him or just the ground in front of him in order to scare him?

Hmmm, yeah I guess I'm more trying to scare him than actually hit him. I want to show that I am capable of pinpoint accuracy and maximum pain if I feel like it.

Well, that's torn it.

I'm pretty sure Kama hit, but Wish has missed, and we don't have wolves to bail us out this time...

I have faith in everyone to avoid bad dice rolls! Maybe Hollow will wipe out the entire group single-handedly with awesome criticals.

I have faith in you! Plus you all have inspiration to make your dice a bit better!

I'm either going to use my free disengage and then move to engage the crossbow guys, or my free dash to run around the corner, hide, and then sneak back, depending on whether anyone else can take care of Sword 3 before our next turn.
