I'm good with Pacan being paired off with about anyone. She also doesn't need a full night's sleep because the whole Elf trance thing, which she will certainly use to her advantage in helping with making camp ready to leave in the mornings and such.

As for the time waving actions, I completely agree that it's OK to do a time-jump when nothing meaningful happens. If not, this hex crawl part will be a MASSIVE drag. It'll be Christmas 2023 before we finish it, hah.

I did miss there are two elves in the party. It means 4 hour during ling rest you have a passive perception of 14 due to pacan, you just need to cover other two and decide who is up when - in case if enemy get stealth roll above your passive perception it may be important who is unconscious and sleeping when they ambush you.

I am assuming between the lines you are doing a 4 hour rest in the middle of the day when the heat is most terrible and you need 4 more in the evening/morning to set up and pack your tents and stuff, prepare some meal, feed your donkies, etc.

Travel: unless players decide otherwise your current travel path is as following

This path would allow you to stay away from known undead territories

At normal peace you will need 7 days to get to what used to be Camp Righteous and 4 more to Camp Vengeance
I will be rolling dice until you either reach these destinations or a random event happens.

The storm that happened day 7 was one of the random events

looks good to me!

Just double checked the book and figured out I was wrong about "Regardless of weather you move or not your chances to figure out your actual location are the same." If you stay, changes are much better. Nevertheless you could try surprise me with alternative actions I try to be open for out of combat improvised actions when they make sense to me in the context of the story.

I'm done now, so should be more active again. :)

Hey all, I'm going to be less active over the next 2 weeks or so. I did something that screwed up my shoulder and it puts me in a lot of pain to sit and type. I've seen the doctor and am on a 2 week course of steroids to get it under control. I should be back sooner than 2 weeks, but it may be that long if it takes the full time to be not painful. Apologies all around and I hope to be back soon.

Hope you heal up soon and feel better

Hope you feel better soon!
We will continue with 5 players meanwhile

Yes you all wake up, let me clarify that in game thread

added and then updated story post. Will try do better next time. Thanks for asking

1. "one saw the trap" - No you did not.
1.A - pit
I did quote module text "the stone-tiled floor is covered with a thick layer of mud, creepers, and blown-in leaves." didn't I?
It was the hint for the fact that discovering will be with disadvantage which is -5 to passive perception
And none described any action for me to allow active perception roll
1.B - Blade trap:
blades sweep out from concealed wall niches. That is module wording. Based on vocabulary concealed means "kept out of sight or hidden from view".


2. didnt activate when Jim passed over it first right - YES. Mystery :)

3. no dex save to avoid falling - YES. Exactly because it is not triggered on your weight application but when you are in the middle of trap


Yes in ToA lot of traps are mean. Very mean. I propose you to start coming up with creative ideas rather than just expect your high Skills and Feats to save you automatically.

Sounds good. After the whole insight thing i was just planning on rolling only when you ask so that didnt happen again. Not sure if multiple people can be searching for traps, if so Ha'aroo will be keeping his eyes out for things as they travel. If only one then nevermind as Jims advantage (if he did take dungeon delver indicated in seassion 0) plus with bardic inspiration would be best for spotting anything or dodging out of the way if not spotted and resistance if he wasnt able to get out of the way.

Arcana
Your Intelligence (Arcana) check measures your ability to recall lore about ...

If what your PC wish is to recall lore about magic used in 5his ancient Chultian temple centuries ago then DC would have been 20 I believe and you failed

Also. Haaroo did not really saw blades triggered as he fall into the pit moment before. It is Jim who need no roll to deduce he hardly triggered anything mechanical.
In order to make any furher assumption on what is a trigger you need to trigger it again. That's my common sense. Does it make sense to you?
