Chapter Three - Return to the Mournland

P.S - Kalli, Leith and the Hyena will be at your disposal for any skills you wish to attempt.

Maybe 37 can use Guidance on Tryne. Maybe someone else can use the help action to give advantage in spotting the dragon.
Does someone have Hunter's Mark? That would also be useful for tracking Dubdub.

Thats one failure.

Still need Torhak’s initiative.

Meepo is up, with 37 on deck.

Must we make a skill check on our turn? Or can we cast spells or take the help action. Naturally, the latter approach makes it much more likely to reach 6 successes before 4 failures. But it takes more rounds to do so.

It really defeats the purpose of the challenge if all that’s happening is everyone gives each other buffs. The way a skill challenge works is everyone tells the story of how they helped each other through their dice. For example instead of giving Guiidance, you could actually give guidance. A perception, nature or survival check to help Tryne catch up to the dragon. Using illusions, distractions or traps could be deception. Having the hyena or axe beak help using animal handling. I’m not saying you can’t use spells per se, its just done through a skill instead. The DC is set for the player to tell how they succeed and DM to tell how they failed.

Sadly, not many use skill challenges anymore, but I love the RP/story telling element of them.

I’ll admit, 6/4 is a rather difficult one, but the point is to make it feel dire. Also, weekly rerolls are still available :)

I hope that makes more sense

@Nictorah All good. I just needed to understand how it's supposed to work.
@Madclergy You could lift a fallen tree that blocks the path.

Absolutely!! I gave you the environment earlier, keep it within the narrative and we’re good.

I’ll give Meepo a bit, but then we’ll move on to 37 this evening.

Let’s move to 37.

Laulalith is on deck.

Meepo can catch up.

That's one success!
