Vhez should be awake due to Felor's Cure Wounds above, no?

Also, can I tip my potion of healing into Domarc's mouth?

I think Vhezyen is still in negative hit points, should be -6 now? Yes, you can force-feed Domarc a potion.

Oh, dang, I didn't realize he was that bad off.

Mordred cracks the ampoule of healing liquid and pours it into Domarc's mouth. He then takes advantage of the swirling waters and upturned furniture to try and conceal himself from the jinn's gaze.

Stealth (Bonus Action) - (1d20+6)

OOC:
Wait, I didn't think negative hit points were a thing in 5e? Like, if you hit 0 hp you just fall unconscious and if you regain any HP it is added to 0 and you become conscious again. (PHB p.197)

What? But I loved negative hit points...clearly you guys aren't getting nearly killed often enough if this is the first I'm being reminded of this. Anyway, yes, okay, Vhezyen wakes up from the brink of death for the second time this afternoon and can take an action this round.

Mordred you need a roll for the healing potion: 2d4+2

Seeing that Mordred has revived Domarc, Felor once again calls on Fjorgyn's wrath, desperately hoping for her aim to be true this time.

Cast Guiding Bolt on the jinn.

Yeah, D&D has gotten way too soft. There are definitely various degrees of "my character is hurting." So, Vhezyen is at 13 hp.

Vhezyen moves forward to the spot Zangua had occupied, hoping to discern if he is submerged in the deepening water there.

If he finds Zangua, he'll try to help him up (?), if not, he attacks with his sword. EDIT for Advantage from Felor, if it applies.

The change from negative hit points to "you're at 0 and unconscious" is one of the weirder ones for me to grab onto mentally, especially having grown up on 1st Ed. where the characters were definitely more disposable - I guess the death saves kinda work like the ongoing count down to -10 that we used to have, but it feels less dramatic; it was a countdown clock as opposed to waiting to see if you roll 3 strikes.

Anyways, I think I'm back up - can I take an action?

Wading through the rising water and seeing no sign of Zangua, Vhezyen staggers toward the jinn. His mind is reeling; twice today he has come far too close to death. Fjorgyn's white light sears into the jinn's thigh and Vhezyen's blade is drawn to it like a magnet, cutting deeply. The jinn drops to one knee and murmurs something to herself.
[ +- ] Jinn-speak:
Leth, you're still up.

Edit: Domarc recovers 7 HP but cannot act this turn, as he just came back to consciousness.

OOC:
*looks at hands*
...what have I done?
Leth's eyes widen as Zangua disappears in a torrent of water. "Zangua!"

He looks angrily at the Jinn.

"What have you done with our friend?" he asks accusingly, accenting his anger by releasing two arrows aimed straight at her.
OOC:
Damage will be non-lethal, since I'm kind of afraid now if we kill her, we won't be able to get Zangua back... and if he does appear when she goes down, we can easily take her out afterward.

edit: ......... I hate everything

Leth's arrow flies wide of its target. The jinn, still crouching, lunges forward, thrusting twice at Vhezyen with the spear in her remaining hand.
[ +- ] Jinn-speak:
Edit: The spear pierces straight through Vhezyen's body twice. He falls backward into the water.

Domarc, Felor, Leth, and Mordred, you're up.

Jinn attack vs Vhezyen - (1d20+10, 1d20+10)

Just to maybe add to the "what have I done" thing, an interesting side note to the 5e rules around death & dying...if your character receives enough damage to go to -(hitpoint maximum), you die instantly. Because, ouch - that would do me in.

OOC:
😬
Felor sees Vhezyen struck down once again and grimaces, then turns back to the jinn.
"In the name of Fjorgyn I smite thee!"

Cast Guiding Bolt on the jinn.

Alarmed at seeing Vheyzen go down so hard, Domarc will cast Healing Word on him as a 2nd level spell.

Edit - Domarc will also move as far away from the Jinn as he can.
