@ctme2000: I'm not following where the 5 temp Hit Points come from. You had 1HP, and healed 10+2 HP using the Tireless Feat. Can you explain the extra temps for me? I'm not arguing your wrong or anything; I just would like some clarification real quick so I can be a better DM. I don't see anything in the PHB or the UA revision.

@DM, Hey, no worries. My understanding of the PHB rules is that the temp HP are separate from hit die HP. So I was down to 1 HP and used the Tireless ability. This gave me a separate pool of 5 HP, not effecting/adding to my hit die HP. So once combat ended, I had 1 HP left + 5 temp HP. I rolled for short rest and got a 12 total which went to my hit die HP. So now I'm at 12 HP + 5 temp HP. Going forward in combat, the 5 temp HP will be used first. Once the temp HP is depleted, damage starts effecting my regular HP.

Also, just a shout out to your excellent DM'ing. I've only played in a few PbPs, but you are by far one of the most consistent and thorough ones, and it's been a pleasure playing with you. Keep up the great work!

Let's pull this discussion over to the OOC thread, just so we don't gum up the gameplay thread with a bunch of boring rules chatter.

In the mean time, what are the other PCs doing during Osvaldo's rest. Severus I'm reading is beating the bushes looking for Quinny.
What about Bug and Alstaer?

Alstaer is sticking to the group. He's pretty terrified by all the violence and is just trying to keep his magic in check.

Are we running out of steam?

I hope not! Severus is still looking for Queen! :-)

Not I. Saw you were doing secret rolls/had your 'hold please' image up, and was waiting for an update

OOC:
Oh, sorry about that. I didn't realize I failed to pull it down already.

So Osvaldo about as ready as he's going to be for another go at this hideout. Severus fails to find Quinny, who has mysteriously disappeared (from the game), Alstaer is pretty shook from the encounter (and taking some time off to handle personal affairs), and Bug has his own situation going on right now.

Once Severus returns from his search, minus Quinny, Osvaldo's face goes from sour to determined. "Quinny might need rescuing too now, and we have a job to finish. Are you with me Severus?"

"I'm with you", Severus repies without hestitation. He takes one last, puzzled, look around him before heading for Osvaldo's side

As you gather yourselves and get ready to continue on you hear snarling and barking coming from just within the mouth of the cave.

"Sildar about to be stew, Gundren caught in a Black Spider's web, Mathias dead, Quinny missing, Alstaer awol, and mad dogs baying for our blood. Enough to make a man angry" Severus says as he grits his teeth and readies his axe.

"Aye, tis a bit lunatic, this whole venture." Osvaldo agrees, as he gets his bow ready and slowly proceeds toward the cave entrance. He looks around the entrance floor, checking for any foot/paw prints he might recognize, and if there are any lights inside the cave.

Severus and Osvaldo move toward the cave's entrance and peer inside. Just inside the cave mouth, a few uneven stone steps lead up to a small, dank chamber on the east side of the passage. The cave narrows to a steep fissure at the far end, and is filled with the stench of animals. Savage snarls and the sounds of rattling chains greet your ears where three wolves are chained up just inside the opening. Each wolf's chain leads to an iron rod driven into the base of a stalagmite. In the back of the eastern room you make out what appears to be a man, though it's hard to make out much more than that.

Severus peers through the gloom of the cave trying to ignore the miasma and the dog's deadly snarls and concentrate on the humanoid shape prone deep within.

You there! Identify yourself", Severus calls out in Common.
Oct 4, 2020 8:44 pm
"Uh, hello there!", the voice calls back. "It seems I've got a few furry problems preventing me from a proper introduction at the moment."

He stays still, crouched low, eyes only darting to the new figures briefly before returning to the snarling creatures ahead.

"I'm not sure who you are, hopefully a friend. Either way, I intend to make it out of this cave in some way other than in the stomach of these things."

Osvaldo looks at Severus, a troubled look in his eyes. "Perhaps another prisoner taken by the goblins. He might be useful, if he can fight." He points at the snarling wolves with one of his arrows "As for them, if you have no way to calm or befriend them through magical means, best they go meet Silvanus."
OOC:
Would a coup de grace on the wolves be possible?
