A simpler explanation is when you roll a 20 on an attack, you roll all your damage dice twice instead of once. Normally you'd have rolled 1d4 for the dagger and 1d6 for sneak attack (plus 2 for dex). Because you rolled a Crit, you get to roll 2d4 for dagger and 2d6 for sneak attack. The dex modifier is not doubled, just the amount of dice you roll.

Why do I roll sneak attack though? Because of nat 20?

You get to sneak attack any time you are attacking a creature with a finesse weapon (like a dagger) and the enemy is beside another one of your allies (presumably providing a distraction), or you attack with a ranged weapon. You can do this up to once per turn.

Mike — I believe Night Blade 4 is the one that my channel divinity healed. He's already skedaddled at this point. I'm not sure what happens to the throwing knife when the wound is healed, though. Maybe it just pops out?

That's right Callan. And yes, you can retrieve the knife from the floor.

Oh good - Hilmar has a clear conscience :)

I have adjusted Hilmar's post accordingly.

On late shift tonight, followed by an earlier one so my posts may be delayed.

Hey folks, dropping in to say I'll be catching up with the game tomorrow afternoon! Thanks for your patience, been a busy couple of weeks.

With the Night Blades mostly defeated we'll be heading back to Hope to collect your reward and wrap up this quest.

The shambling mound is a plant and so I guess it doesn't qualify as a 'beast' for the talking with animals spell.

I think that'll work just fine, Astroloma.

Ooo talking to the shambling mound is a nice idea, I am curious how is it going for it. For me I do not think there is anything to do before returning to town, although I might be absent minded. My head is a bit all over the place these days.

On late shifts followed by early so may not be able to post for a day or two.

In case it's not clear, Naeris doesn't have anything more to say to Strangleberries beyond the formalities so I'm ready for the party to head back to Hope. The translation I was leaving as implied.

I'm ready to head back to Hope as well.

On late shift tomorrow night, followed by succesively earlier ones, so possible my posts may be delayed.

Thanks for your patience lately, folks. Astroloma - thanks for popping up the chapter 4 thread. Sick title!

Glad I didn’t make too much of a mess.

Love the title as well! Very good!

Is the feast at the 'Evershady Tavern' or the 'Summerspring Inn'? I ask this because I thought the Evershady Tavern is the one beneath the hand, whereas Amanda's inn with the hot spring beneath is the 'Summerspring Inn', but I might be mistaken :)

It's going to be outdoors on the lawn outside the inn. There is a nice communal lawn for staging events. Although it is a bit unkempt by old fashioned standards, it should do nicely.
