General conversation/OOC commentary

I tend to fall into this category as well. When I take notes, I have it filter into a database of all important NPCs and lore, but I tend to find the easiest way to pinpoint an important piece of information is to think about what was going on in the story when it was first encountered and start there in my notes. I use Notion for my D&D notes so it’s easy to link database pages to my session notes and I end up having a log in more than one organization method. For the sake of the forum, I think organizing by chapter of discovery is probably best.

bad computer bad bad computer !

I'm sorry you're having trouble. For the sake of keeping things moving, I've rolled initiative and the initial attack for Ishi. Take over when you can.

my posting poblems

I have Parkinsons disease, which, among other things, makes my typing bad and slow. Last weekend I had network problems and before that I had problems with my speech to text app. Should I get caught up and poat? Or is this too much?

Please jump in. I was just trying to explain why I'd rolled for you.

OK, thanks. Would it be a problem if sometimes my posts were short?

Not at all! There's no length requirement, or even expectation! I'm wordy, but I don't imagine most people are.

Out of curiosity @spaceseeker19: would Zin able to use Two Weapon Fighting with dual hand crossbows if she procured another? Or does the loading property basically cancel out the ability to use her Bonus Action for a second shot because that’s when she’s getting another bolt? I’ve seen it done in some campaigns but not in others so I am wondering how you would rule it.

As long as you are still enjoying your time with us, you do what you need for you!

@Redamancy Thieves' Cant isn't a language the way other languages are. It's more a way of talking...

Just FYI.

Yes, fair point. Less of a "Thieves Cant translation" and more like Sia used the properties of the coded messaging that she picked up when coming into fluency with the Cant, and then built a custom version for her and Zin. They basically have their own coded language just between the two of them; they had a lot of time and not much else to do.

No, Two-Weapon Fighting is explicitly for melee weapons, not ranged weapons (unless it is a melee weapon with the Thrown property).

That makes way more sense. I’m now thinking about it and feeling like it might have been a feat that granted bonus action hand crossbow shots. Thanks for clarifying!

You are thinking about Crossbow Expert that allows you to dualwield hand crossbows

Yes! That’s it! Thank you

Sorry I haven't been posting the past couple of days; it's been a busy weekend, what with my wedding anniversary, a new housemate moving in, and my wife's birthday. I will post the start of round four of the Fight in the Library tomorrow, but I have completed round three. Round four is when the approaching voices will arrive, and I have round four actions from Ishi and Morik already (each of them attacking the monster underwater).

Thank you all for your patience; I have returned from my anniversary trip and will be posting the first part of round five momentarily.

Just a heads up, I’ll be traveling tomorrow, so won’t be able to post until late. I’ll be on holiday the rest of the week, so posting might get a bit iffy.

Bon voyage, and I hope you have a great holiday time!

Folks, I'm very embarrassed and sorry that I gave you incomplete information about the effects of the spell that the Lord Mayor cast.
