Okay, so right now, your only source of light, IIRC, is a torch carried by Scarfs. The torch provides 20' of bright light and another 20' of dim light beyond that. If you retreated all the way back the corridor to lure in the skeleton, the corridor is 40' long, add another 10' to 20' for the skeletons being a bit further inside the large room and they are more likely in complete darkness right now.So unless you have darkvision, shooting at the skeletons is going to be very difficult if not down right impossible. I'll let you discuss a plan of action for now, you have plenty of time anyways as the skeletons seem rather uninterested in you at the moment...
If we need draw the skeletons down toward us for better range options, then I say we do that.

Okay, good to know. What about the others?
Sorry if I come up as pushy or insistent, but I really need to know if it's worth recruiting 2 replacement players or if I should just pull the plug on that game.

I have given it some thought as I am not one to quickly jump ship from games. But to be fair, I get the impression that the group isn't going to gel really well due to the wildly different range of personalities. This seems like a Suicide Squad team, and I didn't like Suicide Squad. Also, a weeks-long subplot to get a shave is not my cup of tea. But I like the premise of the game with the whole cult thing, it's something I can lean into. Maybe Garbuffel joined willingly as a route to vast cosmic power to dominate all those annoying tall people. So I'm a bit torn. Game idea is cool, but execution so far is half baked.

The party does seem ill-fitting, but then again, this feels like most games. The haircut was entirely optional, and not even part of the adventure, that was an initiative on the part of some players (not saying it's bad, actually, I found it quite funny myself). As for the adventure... Well, you were honest with you being on the fence, so I must be honest with you, if only to help you better make a decision.
I'm not overly fond of this adventure. It's not bad per say, it has good part and an interesting intrigue, but it also has its weak parts, and those weak parts really stand out (my best guess was this happened because they tried to put pretty much everything the game offers in a single adventure so that the players could learn everything about the game by playing just this one adventure and as such its pace is all over the place)... In fact, even To Save A Kingdom suggests to use a few optional quests from To Slay A Dragon to make a certain part a bit "more lively" (codeword for less boring). I was even thinking of maybe throwing in a few mini dungeons from Dungeon Delver's Guide to make other weak parts less, well, weak.
So yeah, it's probably not the best adventure to introduce players to a new system with, despite the fact that this is exactly what this adventure attempts to accomplish. So without spoiling anything, it's gonna pick up eventually, it's going to slow down in certain parts, and it's going to get weird in others.

Yeah. Scrafs uses a shortsword out of preference. but if you wanted to go for damage the rapier does give 1 HP more of damage on the average. For Sneak Attack she is limited to finesse weapon per A5e. She doesn't dual weapon or any other of such options. Just Sneak Attack.
She does have the good, padded leather armor and about the best light armor you can get in A5e.

GM: Scarfs dear past had led her some less respectable things including the knowledge of poisons. She does have a Poisoner's Kit on her but no poisons made. With the thoughts of A5e, how does one go about creating poison and their effects as well as how to use?
Is this a down time deal or buy only?

Found:
Poisoner's Kit.: Everything necessary for carefully harvesting and processing natural poisons and venoms can be found in this kit. You can attempt to harvest poisons from areas with abundant flora by spending an hour searching and making a poisoner’s kit check. On a result of 1–14 you accidentally poison yourself and suffer the effects of a basic poison. On a result of 15–19 you obtain a vial’s worth of basic poison. On a result of 20–24 you obtain a vial’s worth of advanced poison, and on a result of 25 or higher you obtain a vial’s worth of potent poison.
Scrafs's check would be DEX + Proficiency bonus? That would be +4? Meaning she is most likely to kill herself. And that being that Proficiency bonus doesn't go fast up levels. So that be fairly permanent.
So, proficiency in Poisoner's Kit for Scarfs just mean she knows a lot about poisons cause making is deadly for her? Imagine she might be able to produce cures safely.
Alternatively, with 10 minutes of work you can use a poisoner’s kit to harvest poison from the fresh corpse of a creature that naturally contained poisons. Make a poisoner’s kit check against a DC equal to the DC of the creature’s poison (if the creature’s poison has no saving throw, use 8 + the creature’s CR). On a failed check you suffer the effects of the creature’s poison, and on a success you harvest a vial’s worth of poison. You can use the creature’s poison to coat one slashing or piercing weapon or up to 3 pieces of ammunition as an action. The poison retains its potency for 1 minute or until you hit with the weapon or ammunition. Weapons or ammunition you coat in a creature’s poison inflict the same effects as shown in the creature’s statistics. Once you harvest the poison of a creature, that corpse cannot be harvested from again. (Which is a bit safer for Scarfs. Still her roll is +4.)
Dang she needs expertise or something to aid her rolls. Her background just gives her proficiency. Obviously, she is a want a be Poisoner.

I'm not seeing Read Magic as an A5e spell
It was my understanding, from 5e, that any caster class that can cast the spell on the scroll can read it. Is this the case here? If not then please explain how scrolls work.

Hmm, odd. They might have changed it. Let me check up on that and I'll get back to you...
Edit: Okay, weird. Yeah, Read Magic is no longer a thing since 5e. Perhaps it was their intention that if you find a scroll on your spell list you can identify it right away, but I haven't really found anything in the rules that specifically said that. It would make sense, but then again, I've also found that a short rest can be used to identify a magic item. I'll see if I can find the passage that specifically state that scrolls are auto-identified if in your spell list, in the mean time I don't mind telling you what the spell is since it's simply a cantrip, but I'd still like to find the actual rule just so I know for sure in the future.

[ +- ] 5e Sopell Scrolls
Spell Scroll
A spell scroll bears the words of a single spell, written in a mystical cipher. If the spell is on your class’s spell list, you can read the scroll and cast its spell without providing any material components. Otherwise, the scroll is unintelligible. Casting the spell by reading the scroll requires the spell’s normal casting time. Once the spell is cast, the words on the scroll fade, and it crumbles to dust. If the casting is interrupted, the scroll is not lost.
If the spell is on your class’s spell list but of a higher level than you can normally cast, you must make an ability check using your spellcasting ability to determine whether you cast it successfully. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a failed check, the spell disappears from the scroll with no other effect.
The level of the spell on the scroll determines the spell’s saving throw DC and attack bonus, as well as the scroll’s rarity, as shown in the Spell Scroll table.

a5e as well. I did read that, but it's written in such a way that can be interpreted many ways, so I wasn't really sure if that's what you meant.

That is 5e. As A5e is based heavily on it and I am more familiar with 5e so just checked there first.
This is from A5e
SPELL SCROLL
A spell scroll bears a sealed spell within. If the spell is on your class’ spell list, you can use the scroll to cast the spell (taking the spell’s normal casting time) without the need for material components. Otherwise the spell scroll is unreadable to you. If you are interrupted while using the scroll, you may attempt to use it again. Once the spell within a scroll has been cast, the scroll crumbles away.
To use a spell scroll of a higher spell level than you are able to cast, you must succeed on spellcasting ability check (DC 10 + the spell’s level). On a failure, the magical energy within is expended with no effect, leaving behind a blank piece of parchment.
A wizard may use a spell scroll to copy the spell stored within to their spellbook by making an Intelligence (Arcana) check (DC 10 + the spell’s level). Whether the check succeeds or not, the attempt destroys the spell scroll.
The level of the spell stored within a scroll determines the saving throw DC, attack bonus , crafting components, cost, and rarity as per Table: Spell Scrolls. The costs of a spell scroll are in addition to any material components, which are required (and if necessary also consumed) when it is made.

Don't rogues get a talent at one point or another to allow them to read magic? I know a hundred years ago they did.
Apr 11, 2024 5:18 pm
In 5E Read Magic doesn't exist anymore. Apart from the Identify spell, one can learn a magic item's properties by spending a short rest in contact with it or through experimentation. Generic magical scrolls can be read by anyone who can read, while class-specific scrolls (like a wizard spell scroll) can be read by that class.
I assume A5E is similar? For one, I cannot find a read magic spell there either.

Scarfs is not in any way at home with animals little lone trying to drive a wagon. That is a sure pass. Not of her area. I'm sure Ugost (Jellies) will do a better job than Scarfs trying. She would be more apt to figure how she can leap safely from it as it wrecks leaving a trail of red hair in the process.

Yea. Haw. Jellies away! (You know that she does call Ugost 'Jellies' in a semi affectionate way. It is her trade name for Ugost. She is probably the only person that does actually call Ugost that.)
Scarfs has never been on horse and has no intentions of even petting one. Closest she gets to a horse generally is if it is pulling a carriage that she is in. She isn't keen on wagons, but she has been in them before. More when she was younger than now. Driving NO.

GM. What kind of dice would it be like for Scarfs to make a surprise move when the horseman comes closer and does a tumbling leap from the wagon to knock the horseman off his seat and her to replace his spot on the horse. Being athletic is Scarfs's style. She has time to prepare herself.
She is an expert tumbler. (Acrobatics (Tumbling Specialty)) Years of it has made her quite good at it. This will surely be a test for it. Riding the horse afterwards will be more of trick as she has never been one. She might be passing the wagon on wild running horse. As very likely she isn't going to get the reins in the deal while switching.
Years of her life in Red Baron Circus as the star clown Bozorina, she has never dealt with animals. Too bad she doesn't have her clown outfit on. That would be a wild sight. Winks. She does have the outfit in her backpack but putting a face might be a bit of a problem. Although she is rather practiced (Tools Disguise Kit which she has too).
Yea. Even out of makeup, Scarfs holds a lot of the looks of Bozorina. But you have to have been to the Red Baron Circus to recognize her.

The problem is that when you ready an action, you can only ready a single action. What you're attempting is essentially 2 actions: a move to hop on the horse, and then a shove maneuver to push the rider off the horse (and possibly 3 actions with a grab on maneuver as well to remain on the horse if you fail to push off the rider). So yeah, you're trying to do too much here.
I'm all for letting the players have their moment of awesome, but I'm still trying to fit in within the framing of the rules. The problem here is the initiative order: the guards act after you, but your wagon will then move away before you act (I had roughly the same problem with Zariana's idea of using mage hand). 5th edition would have really needed a delay action, but instead they wanted to simplify everything and just went with the ready action.
My best suggestion would be to shove the rider this round using your readied action, and if at a later round, the riderless horse still catches up to your wagon, you could then jump on it (most likely using another readied action).

There is always the option to allow changes to Initiative. Other systems allow you to change you Initiative by delaying everything you do. This doesn't break action economy but does create more stuff to track

It feels weird that the distances between us and the other riders yoyo back and forth depending upon initiative. I'd think that the movement of the mounts in mounted combat would be simultaneous and the actions of the riders would vary.
May 5, 2024 5:23 pm
That is combat mechanics. Chase make it not do bouncy and you only have a distance change base on relative speeds. As this is all on mounts and vehicles then the speeds shouldn't change with an attack action.
So if horses run 120 and wagon moves 80 they should be 40"faster than us

If you change the icons to be npc or add an 's' to the end of the image name it will not be so large and in the face in the middle of text

You can make a dm character sheet so this is quickly available. I can help with this it you can read up and do it yourself

You can specify the small version of the image by appending s to its base URL.
For example, the URL of your original image is https://i.stack.imgur.com/Brjd7.jpg.
By adding s this becomes https://i.stack.imgur.com/Brjd7s.jpg:
Here is the list of all the modifiers for dimensions (not all are always available) :
s = 90× 90 = Small Square (as seen in the example above)
b = 160× 160 = Big Square
t = 160× 160 = Small Thumbnail
m = 320× 320 = Medium Thumbnail
l = 640× 640 = Large Thumbnail
h = 1024×1024 = Huge Thumbnail
Using these tags imagessize can be charged for visual formatting and to speed up load times. Thumbnails 't' are a good default. Square options force dimensions but the others just use dimensions listed as the max and do not alter the aspect ratio

I wasn't sure if it was a skill check or to hit or what. So, I threw an unmarked roll. Yep, she is trying to jump from the wagon to the guy on a horse. When you asked for what she was going to do so I rolled.

What we have poison and someone isn't using it?!?!?
I figure once we get rid of 1 it more guards were good. If we get rid of the wounded guy we can then help Scarf with her Uber

My character is at lvl1, so I don't have any upgrades yet. Or I created him at lower level? Fighter buffs are at lvl3+ if I remember correctly.

You add your proficiency bonus to d20 checks you are proficient in. You also add an attribute modifier to each roll of the d20. Finally, weapon damage also benefit from the appropriate attribute modifier.

No problems, we have a level up to make anyways, so posting will probably slow down.
May 27, 2024 9:44 pm
Hmm, yeah, looks okay. I was a bit confused at first because it looks like you noted your manifestation as 2 different features, but I finally got it. I also noticed you forgot to apply your +2 from Silent Aid to one of your passive scores...

Sorry, things are a bit of a mess at the moment, I have time to read and post but don't really have the capacity to focus on getting the level up done right now, sorry about that.
May 30, 2024 5:37 pm
No problems. Apparently you're not the only one. We can either pause for a bit or slow down enough for a while to allow anyone who's behind to catch up. This will also allow me to brush up on the exploration/journey section of the rules because that's what I'm supposed to use to run your travel to the Weirwoods...

I feel well enough to resume posting, but my illness isn't going to fade overnight I'm afraid. Since I am being referred to a specialist doctor and there's a waiting list my posting may be spotty for a while.
I'll work on my character and catch up tomorrow.

Hey all. Sorry for my absence. My sickness has really put me down a notch unfortunately. Next week I am finally seeing the specialist who can hopefully give me an aid that will alleviate most of the symptoms. Please do not hold up anything for me. I hope to be back in action soon after.
Jun 21, 2024 3:47 am
Same, being sick sucks. Being chronically sick is something I can't begin to imagine. I hope you get some kind of solution from you specialist.
Jun 22, 2024 5:21 am
GM: Was when you specialize in something in character creation is that like a +2 or Advantage on the roll?
Jun 22, 2024 5:56 pm
A specialization gives you an expertise die for checks made pertaining to the specialization (+1d4, if you already have a +1d4 on that check for whatever reason, it turns into a +1d6, and so on up to +1d8).

kalajel. Will write that on the character sheet so I don't ask again.

You cannot disarm with your flurry of blow as those are bonus attack actions and not "standard" actions. I know, it's confusing and frustrating at first, I played a monk myself, had to go through this whole "you can't do that" explanation as well. Maneuvers replace one or more "standard" attack actions (specifically stated as coming from the Extra Attack class feature). Bonus attack actions thus cannot be used for maneuvers as they are not "standard" attacks but rather a bonus action. Yeah, apparently in 5e (and I assume a5e as well), there is this world of difference between an attack action and an attack performed as a bonus action (or reaction for that matter)... So right now, your flurry of blow is used to punch one of the scouts. The second one hits, so you can go ahead and roll your unarmed damage.OOC:
I will continue this discussion here to avoid cluttering the game's thread.Basically, you have to pay careful attention as to how an ability is worded. If it states "as pat of an Attack action" or something to that effect, it means the attack(s) you perform using your standard action (i.e. you did not chose dash, disengage, dodge, etc.) during your turn in the initiative order. This is often done for balance reason, to avoid a powerful ability being used too often in the round. When it say "when performing an attack you can..." or something to that effect, then it means any sort of attack, whether performed using a standard or bonus action, or even a reaction.
This is why monks (or adepts in a5e) hits that cliff before any other classes by virtue of the sheer amount of attacks they can deal in a round. So basically, monk/adept learning curve is a bit steeper than other classes because of that.

some maneuvers I believe are listed as bonus action or reaction. So if they say that then I can used them then, but it takes that shot and can't be combined with glory of blows Use damage tiles above
(damage:1d4+3) (2) + 3 = 5

Question. Can Sneak attack be used for non-standard attacks. I don't know if it is considered a maneuver or not. I don't own advance source materials.

Okay, guys, please, when using spells or combat maneuver, please include your spell save DC (for spells) or Maneuver DC (for combat maneuvers) in your posts each time. This will speed things up as I won't have to constantly ask you what the opponent needs to roll.

Ack. They are getting away with OUR new to be horses! As least we did get one. :)

They were 10-ft. away from Zariana and not adjacent to anyone else. I doubt Zariana has a 10-ft. reach...

I have been offline for a week or so but back now. :) Hope to get caught up soon.

I've been out of it for a week now. My dad passed away suddenly and unexpectedly so my life has revolved around him and more so my mother. She has dementia and he was her primary care giver and now suddenly I have to find her a home where she can have people on the ready all the time. Not fun at all.
Aug 9, 2024 5:12 pm
Oh my god, my sincere condolences. Take your time, we can slow down play a bit until you feel better. We're also waiting for Kuhold to get better and rejoin anyways, so that's not a problem.
Aug 9, 2024 5:13 pm
I have gone through a bit of it both on my spouse's side (very similar situation to yours) and now mine. Take care of yourself and remember to take the good you can from them while you can as their mental confusion puts a lot of stress on all relations involved. Don't be afraid/ashamed of asking for help as it can easily overwhelm.
Aug 10, 2024 4:52 am
I kind of wish they'd had plans in place for things but they didn't and it's just such a mountain of stuff all at once.
Aug 10, 2024 3:53 pm
Oh boy, I can imagine... My dad who's getting on in years is only now starting to make plans, after insistent prodding from my mother who made her plans years ago. That, plus a relatively recent AVC scared him into getting things done...

I'm terribly sorry everyone, but I don't think I can continue running this game: https://gamersplane.com/forums/thread/1260/?p=1694405#p1694405

Take care of yourself, #1 priority and when you're in a better place and a better headspace be sure to come back.

@kalajel hope that everything works out, I will be waiting no problemo. Cheers!
