Oh man that was a sweet crit. I'm going to call that your 2nd round attack, and your miss your 1st round attack. Good news though: crits let you get to roll your Sneak Dice again too, so it would actually be 2d6 - all damage dice! (I'll update this post if for some reason you don't get Sneak Damage conditions by 2nd round) (see below edit). If other conditions change by round two (and they are going to) and you want to switch your target, you can repost and recon that action but keep the rolls.

EDIT: Rapier Trog hid successfully, so if you want to make use of that crit, then pick a different target for this round, Jabes :)

PS: I am terrified of when Jarveena gets multi-attack or cunning action, either one of which could happen next level!

Gotcha. Well, you'll have your own stuff going on then :) I'll try to keep the 'camera' going back and forth between the fight and your experience on the surface. I'll label posts that apply to you only with your name in bold at the top.

Hey, just filling you in on Deadpool_qc's appearance. He originally submitted Moss as a character when applied to the game, but we had 7 players for 5 open spots. I singled his character and Naatkinson's out as being the odd men out but I felt terrible about it! They were both great characters and players, and it felt almost criminal to drop them. When Ezeriah dropped, I brought in Naatkinson but I was really torn who I should invite. After talking with Deadpool_qc, he was totally cool with being dropped but he was still totally into the game and was reading along. I felt like his interest in the game was just too genuine to ignore. So, we started concocting a fun way to bring him into the game!

It took a little longer than I expected (sorry deadpool_qc!) but I hope it was worth the wait. I am acutely aware of the potential of slowing the game down by adding a 6th player, which is why I've been so interested in initiative alternatives lately. I think Moss is going to bring a lot to this adventure and deadpool_qc has proven to be a creative and reliable collaborator already.

I really didn't know how he was going to go into the fight (I was half concerned that Jarveena + javellins would kill him before he even had a chance to speak!). But then MoMo had Ygne deliver that perfect line, and deadpool_qc took the pass and scored a touchdown with it. Today has been my favourite PbP moment to date.

If you have any concerns about upping the group size or anything else, don't hesitate to let me know :)

Happy to finally speak to you guys. I followed you almost from the start and hope I'll fit right in with the group.

No concerns from me, welcome aboard deadpool. I wasn't even a part of it and I thought the introduction of Moss was pretty tense.

Welcome, @deadpool! Glad to have you!
Not at all! It really helps, and I really like the battlefield features.

I'm actually a huge fan of the way you run combat!

Yeah, same here. In fact it has influenced the way I run combat in my own game. :-)

Wow, that's high praise! Keep the suggestions coming. Side-based initiative was incredible yesterday! Everything flowed so smoothly, loved it!

I'll be off for most of the day today doing spring break fun with the family :) Will try to update tonight.

The real curse of the Isle of Dread: rolling 1's on all crit dice.

I'll second that I love the battlefield features part of the game! I usually let people just throw in their own features when they think of it, but that's easier said than done when you're with an unfamiliar GM with other unfamiliar players, etc., and you don't know exactly what's allowed and what isn't. So I like that there are suggestions (not to mention that it gives a clear visual!).

Echoing Jabes, I'm planning on using that in my own D&D 5e game now. All-in-all, this game has been wowing me for its high production value from players and GM alike. Bravo to all you fellows.

Ryte noooooooooooooooooooo!!

Haha, I think that is my only regret of losing Ryte; he'll never get to see Ygne prove herself.

No, Ryte! Don't leave us!

It would have been a really long wait, anyway, so perhaps it's for the best that Ryte didn't hold his breath. Ygne is almost certainly going to die before she acts like an adult.

Is it possible to send a note to more than one person ?
