Posting Laurent’s action plan here, since KnifesEdge might not be checking the discord channel:
Quote:
In terms of the way forward, Laurent’s ideas are as follows:
- put the mirror in the box and hide the box slime where safe for now;
- go check out the spot planned for the meeting with the Tribunal, hoping to find a place that allows us to see whoever comes to the rendezvous without being seen. The idea is Laurent could use message to speak to these people without revealing his position. We would have to decide what we’d like to speak to them for.

- once we’ve dealt with the tribunal meeting, study the stones, gather information about the earthquake and its aftermath, etc.
- one night, set up the mirror in a dark private room in a non-descript Inn somewhere, and try to speak to Bartoz; try to explain we just happened upon the warehouse, saw his men be butchered by black cloaks, and got the f*** out. This is hoping we’ll be able to get some information through this brief exchange. We then close the mirror in the box and get out of the inn.
- regroup and plan based on what we’ve learned

Thank you for the updates here and on Discord.

I apologize for my own recent absence.

Loved that chapter ending! ❤️ I'm glad that we are continuing.

rolling for hit points

Rolls

hit points - (1d10+2)

(6) + 2 = 8

Laurent is taking a second level as wizard, taking the divination tradition. He's learning Find familiar and witch bolt as spells at 2nd level. So now he has second level slots but no 2nd level spells, it's going to be interesting. I would like for Laurent to summon his familiar during the week, but I'm not sure he has the necessary resources. I assumed we were using average HP, though I personally prefer to roll hp.

We have been given the option to take the average or roll, Matmaisan

Yes, you may use either method for your hit points.

The summoning of the familiar could be an interesting mini quest in and of itself!

Many of your spells (such as Toll the Dead, Ray of Frost, Shocking Grasp) scale up in damage output as you reach certain levels.

Others (such as Witch Bolt, Cure Wounds, Magic Missile, Thunderwave, Bless) can be "up-cast" using a higher level spell slot for additional damage or to affect additional creatures.

I highly recommend using the Notes function in the spells section of the character sheet. It gives both you and the DMs a handy reference right there without having to consult your books or other sites.

Also please set the appropriate spellcasting stat (INT for your Wizard spells, WIS for your cleric spells). This allows your character sheet to correctly compute your spell attack bonus (if the spell requires an attack roll) and also the Save DC to resist it (if the spell can be saved against).

Hope you are all well.

I believe this has been the longest I've ever been without even checking in. Work, family, ordinary troubles consumed the last two weeks. Couldn't manage to check in, much less post. I apologize for dropping out of the face of the earth like this.

I honestly believe I'll be able to post regularly again, though I'll have a lot of catching up to do in this and other games. I'm very sorry for this long absence.

Summoning the familiar through a side quest or part of downtime could be great, indeed.

I believe I've set up the correct attributes on the spells; I had stopped updating the GP sheet since I've been managing Laurent through DnD Beyond. Here he is.

Glad to see you back

Friends, we apologize for the lack of posts. Len and I have both been pretty preoccupied.

Now that you're exploring what (for now) appears to be an empty location, you might want to start going over your plan again. I believe this was where you left it.
May 19, 2022 8:29 pm
Once more, I'd like to apologize for the pacing of my posts. I'm still hoping that a more regular flow should be possible in the next few weeks.
May 19, 2022 8:38 pm
It's all good, matmaisan. We'd all like to be more regular but understandably life often gets in the way. I look forward to each and every post from you folks!

OOC:
Not sure I misunderstood. We need to roll for Stealth. If it's 20+Dex Mod+Stealth Prof , that puts me on 27
Len says:
OOC:
With all this prep time, your dexterity (stealth) check to hide will be 20 + Dex mod, and + prof. bonus if your are proficient in stealth. An NPC would have to roll higher than this on a wisdom (perception) check to discover you.
There's no need to roll. Proceed as if you rolled 20 and add your Dexterity modifier. Berry, who is the only one proficient in that skill, also gets to add his Proficiency Bonus. 1.5 times thanks to Expertise, I might add!
Jun 2, 2022 1:15 pm
Well, basically we roll a stealth check, right?
Jun 2, 2022 1:23 pm
Because you have so much prep time, if you rolled a stealth check and you didn't like the roll, you'd have time to try over and over again, taking your time and doing it right. Rather than roll stealth checks over and over again until you get a 20, just calculate your result as if you had rolled a twenty.
