OOC:

Bear has 30 HP left, so revert to human form if I fail the save. Adding in the +5 to ST from paladin aura
I would ask/argue that loosing wildshape does not automatically cancel the grapple. But that is me hoping for the best.
Did the attacks wrong and applied disadvantage instead of advantage. Hit Bite = 15, Claw = 20

With the figure prone beneath it's feat Nyx crushes and tears at it with its mouth and slams a paw onto it.

OOC:

Bear has max HP 42 and it took two fireballs so I was unsure how much it had left, if it is still sanding then great - all melee attacks against enemy is straight (even if you have multiple sources of advantage or disadvantage)

[ +- ] multiple (dis)advantages

@thorsman99
Tinkara attack had to be done with disadvantage - there is no source of advantage for your PC as much as I know. Invisible and prone both give disadvantage.

This is not relevant though as enemy is dead regardless

Vesuvius longsword finally finds a gap in enemy thick skin and cuts into it's throat. Creature shakes and become still and visible as it's life comes to an end

Now you all can see the creature and a black longsword (not magical, just black colored) covered in Ixion's blood

OOC:

Out of combat. What do you do? Just a short recap - there is a sarcophagus, with it's lid covered with figurines of prancing frog-like humanoids.
If you open the lid - please remind if anyone is concentrating of detect magic as you look inside

"It was not an easy enemy. I have to recover some of my strengths now. AND it's certainly high time for me to look for my brother in arms: Throgin. He should be back already, but there is no sign of his return. It worries me a little." - Zean says over the corpse of their fallen enemy, still breathing heavily, while detaching the burnt pieces of his robe.

"Farewell my friends! Until me meet again, in this world... or other!" - and with this words Zean left the chamber with bad symbol on the ground.

OOC:

max HP = 42 + 11 wild surge temp HP = 53
53 - 23 fireball 1 - 15 fireball 2 + 17 HP moon druid healing = 32

Was not sure about advantage canceling etc. Thanks for clarification.

Aggravated Nyx stomps on the creatures skull to crack it before shuffling off to the side to lick his wounds.

Vesuvius

Vesu gazes hazel eyes down at the black blade. He stoops low, and picks up the blood-ridden longsword. He turns it over, then back again, in gauntleted hands. His shield now propped on the ground next to him. The symbol of the Zhentarim emblazoned thereupon.

He eventually looks up at his new companions. The look on his face resolved, seemingly satisfied as though he’s completed some sort of a task.

Vesuvius. Call me Vesu, if you wish.

"A pleasure, Vesu. I am Tante Lude, Lude (Lou-Dee) if you wish.

If I might suggest; those fireballs did a lot of damage. I would like to heal myself and others as much as we can, then rest and regain spells and hit points before opening that sarcophagus, unless you expect that would somehow lead to more problems. I can cast a spell to keep us safe for 8 hours to rest if you agree.

We can also be inside it when one of us opens that thing if, like me, you expect a trap.

[ +- ] Leomund's Tiny Hut

I think that is a good idea indeed.
Gauntleted hand graces the amulet around armored neck. As Vesu breathes in healing power of his own doing.

OOC:

Lay On Hands for myself.
Ignore the hit dice, I didn’t mean to roll that, full Hp after Long Rest..

OOC:

@badbaron you cast Leomund's Tiny Hut so that it partially overlap with the pentagram, right? 10 foot radius is 20 feet diameter and it would either fit totally inside pentagram or partially overlap, but there is not enough space on the outside of pentagram in this room
@thorsman99 want to add anything before I narrate you get into the Tiny hut?

Also once inside the hut are you all getting your sleep or set up watches to see what's happening outside? If you do - what will characters without darkvision do as it is dark and your light from inside of dome don't get out of the dome?

OOC:

I'm content to proceed without doing anything else. I will gladly stand a watch.

Jan 17, 2025 2:10 pm

OOC:

makes sense to let the bear watch first as it has darkvision and will last several hours still

Vesuvius

Jan 17, 2025 4:19 pm

OOC:

Vesu has darkvision/invocation, can take a watch if needed, otherwise no activity outside of prepping spells.

"I'd rather not cast a summoning inside someone else's summoning circle, so let's go back a room and do this.

If you need healing, close up on me after we go back to a good space. I will be casting some healing for those who need it, starting with myself," and Lude gives a self-deprecating smirk.

OOC:

Lovely paranoia, but I would like to keep story moving. Please don't take your long rest just yet. I've also figured out that with druid wild shape included you have 4 PCs with darkvision.
Please note that no waking up does not break your long rest.

You move to another room that seems better place for Leomund's Tiny Hut and have your rest. Middle of the nigh whoever is on watch wakes everyone else. You see a creature entering the room you are in: Tinkara recall to have seen such a creature when she first entered tomb: a dwarf equipped as a miner with some extra weapons (crossbow and an axe). It wearing a mask that is a replica of the devil face at the tomb entrance.

OOC:

Posting image of the creture in black and white because that's how you see in the darkness, don't you?

[ +- ] Visual - B&W

You see that dwarf it cleaning up the mess you left after yourself and will eventually reach your dome, bumping into it.

OOC:

What do you do if anything?

Jan 18, 2025 12:55 pm

Is it ok to finish healing anyone else who needs it before we deal with the dwarf? Tante Lude made the offer and would use all her 3rd and 1st level spells to heal the rest of her own wounds and anyone else injured to the extent she can before going into the dome. I just didn't want to heal her to full if there are a lot of needy PCs and she won't have enough to heal everyone all the way up.

Jan 18, 2025 5:23 pm

OOC:

Vesu should start the post-rest at full hp, so all-good from my side.

Jan 18, 2025 7:55 pm

OOC:

So I see Tante Lude spend time she has before dwarf bumps into the dome to case healing magic. What does everyone else do?

Nyx

Jan 18, 2025 9:06 pm

Nyx sits calmly within the hut, having reverted from his wildshape to fit within it, being is content to act as guard. Upon spotting the dwarf he will nudge awake the others.

OOC:

is the huts dome opaque or transparent?

Quote:

The dome is opaque from the outside, of any color you choose, but it is transparent from the inside.

It was poor narrative from me saying dwarf eventually reach your dome, bumping into it. He is certainly approaching it although with little interest or surprise
