Now that his eyes are back to their natural blue, pupil-less and most importantly seeing-in-the-dark selves, the druid can observe Shump slicing the snake... and Haelga running into the room, only to collide with a gelatinous form that glints in the light pouring from Lex's spell. Reaching for his scimitars, the druid calls out to is companions behind: "We've been attacked upon entering. The serpent, somewhere on the wall. Apparently in three separately living pieces." He squints to look at where he thinks the snake is, before turning his focus on Haelga again. "And there is a gel creature, not sure if hostile."

I was going to transform and attack on my second tiurn, but I'm okay with it being a help action too. I am still transforming though, since it is a bonus action.Now that his eyes are back to their natural blue, pupil-less and most importantly seeing-in-the-dark selves, the druid can observe Shump slicing the snake... and Haelga running into the room, only to collide with a gelatinous form that glints in the light pouring from Lex's spell.

Now that his eyes are back to their natural blue, pupil-less and most importantly seeing-in-the-dark selves, the druid can observe Shump slicing the snake... and Haelga running into the room. The tiefling makes sure to get out of her way before they collide, but catches her shoulder before she can get in the radius of their yroc guide's swing. "We've been attacked upon entering. The serpent, somewhere on the wall..." he squints to look at where he thinks the snake is. "Apparently in three separately living pieces."
OOC:
Actually, how big is the snake, or whhatever it is? I assume that I can see it thanks to darkvision (and Lex's light). Last edited March 7, 2021 9:27 pm

Okay well Egret is going to have to adjust his final paragraph based on my up coming post ;) sorry about that and surprise again -- also Egret could not have sensed that the pieces of the snake were moving up the wall just that they were somehow getting further away -- I can see him switching back though in order to get a better perspective on what was actually going on and so as to not get eaten by a snakeMar 3, 2021 1:43 am
OOC:
I imagined I could hear it slither somewhere above, it couldn't have been completely silent - especially not to a weasel. And unless it climbed Shump or could fly, it was logical to assume that it moved on the wall.And sure, I'll correct the last paragraph once I can see the post.

Okay without a Perception check the sounds just got fainter did they get higher hard to reference quickly in the dark, yeah given a round or two I would have given you that or if you had succeeded on a DC 15 Perception check or had blind-fighting -- keep in mind a Round is a mere 6 secondsOOC:
Haelga needs to make a Strength(Athletics) check to disengage from the BlobIf Shump wants to abort his action this round to turn and deal with what is going on behind him he has to make a DC 15 Dex Save. If you choose to make the Save but fail you still can turn to assess the situation you just do not get to perform a full attack as well (aka you would get 1 swing). Still you do go before the Blob on the next round.
As noted with Question Marks -- I need Initiatives for Haelga and Brindel in case he decides to join in.

Feel free to to act as everyone present goes before the Blob does. If Shump makes that Dex Save he can make one attack and then his normal attacks for this round otherwise just the normal attacks for this round. Or he can ignore what is going on immediately behind him and try to hit those two snakes high in the rafters which btw would be at Disadvantage and really only reachable with his big weapon.Initiatives

With his friends in danger, Brindel goes into the room.
OOC:
Is Brindel's axe reacting to the creature(s) in the room in any way; for example, a glowing rune?Rolls
Brindel Initiative (bonus from Alert feature) - (1d20+5)
(11) + 5 = 16

OOC:
No Brindel's Axe does not seem to react at all and you getting into the inside of the tower is your Action for this round.Mar 6, 2021 7:27 am
OOC:
Would the small snakes still be difficult to hit with a ranged spell such as Ray of Frost?Mar 6, 2021 7:29 am
OOC:
No provided one can see them and one is even aware of them. Currently Lex has no idea they even exist but that Large Blob sure does exist ;)Mar 7, 2021 4:25 am
Shump draws out handaxe and turns around to take a few steps to attack the incoming blob.
OOC:
Does Shump have any idea what the blob is?Rolls

Well he can make a Nature check if he is proficient with the Nature skill - otherwise no as it would not be considered common knowledgeMar 7, 2021 9:46 pm

Edited the old post to match. I'm still curious about how big the snakes are.OOC:
Casting Slow on the blob and all the snakes.Mar 7, 2021 10:02 pm
OOC:
The two snake-like creatures (aka severed pieces of the Blob) are Fine in size which means about 6" to 12" long and maybe a 1/2" to a 1/4" in diameter -- the biggest key is they are not fixed in dimension nor length just in overall size.And that was unexpected -- interesting slowing rather slow creatures -- players will always do the unexpected.

OOC:
I debated throwing fire at them, but my love of debuffing opponents in videogames won over. XD If anything, at least they'll have trouble with reactions.Also, didn't realize they were the blob. Huh. That makes me wonder how exactly are we going to defeat it instead of slicing it into many, many small blobs. Probably with pyromania.

"Thanks Shump," Lex calls out as he looks for an opening.
OOC:
If Lex has a clear shot for a Ray of Frost cantrip at the blob, he will cast it. Rolling below for that circumstance.Last edited March 16, 2021 6:15 pm
