Oh!

Oh, yeah, definitely.

Yeah, we're still fine.

Made a typo. Jarveena's Second Wind should be 1d10+4. So she recovers 12hp, not 11.

Would it be possible on a later turn for someone to topple sections of the platform onto Shambles without hitting Frick?

Yes. I think we can cover that through role play. The character doing the toppling can shout out a warning or something, and on his turn Frick can move around the side of the monster. I guess that would technically be a readied action, with the trigger being Frick moves safely aside. As long as he stays within 5 feet, he won't cause an opportunity attack or anything.

If Frick is unconscious though, he will get hit automatically.

Also Jabes, making a ranged attack while you have a creature within 5 feet of you gives disadvantage on the attack roll. Do you want to use your inspiration to counter that?

Thought Sharpshooter negated that, but I was wrong. Already spent my Inspiration. Added a disadvantage roll to my post (luckily still hits) :-)

But won't get sneak attack with disadvantage :(

Right. :-(

Oh, wait, disregard! The Trog used reckless attack, so you have both disadvantage and advantage and the two cancel out. I guess it doesn't matter either way though :) .

Bravo to lenpelletier on that latest post with Ryte. Gave me chills. For some reason I hadn't considered him rising.

I have to double that statement, props to you lenpelletier, I was told it was coming and still got chills.

I'll be honest and say I thought about him rising up but hope you forgot. Now I'm glad you remembered !!

That was a fantastic DM move! I'm excited to see if anything more comes of that.

And that last line! Perfect!

Glad you liked it! And thanks HypCo for giving me so much to work with :) The power of that scene derives from your excellent role playing and the connections you had Ryte make.

Apologies for the unimaginative post. I have a monster headache - like I got slammed by a shambling mound! :-D

I hear ya Jabes. Hope your headache has gone away. Don't worry, not every post has to be a masterpiece :) You do so much good roleplaying as it is. In fact, this game might not exist if it wasn't for you!

I don't think the other players in the game know this, but Jabes joined the first game I ever DM'ed on GP, the "5e Vignette." It was bad; players weren't reading each others' posts, nobody was interacting with each other, people weren't sticking to the post frequency, and generally making stupid decisions (other than Jabes of course!). I felt like I was having to browbeat people into even playing the game. But Jabes and Ezeriah (who was reading along with the game but not playing) assured me that I was doing a good job and that it was the other players that were not upholding their end of the bargain, dragging the game down. That's why for this game I had people submit characters rather than just do first-come-first-serve. It felt pretentious as hell, but it gave me a way to weed out poor or unimaginative players. But then only amazing players ended up applying anyway, so it was all good.

So, feel free to have a bad day! If not for you and Ezeriah I might have given up on PbP altogether.

Nope, that was way cooler than what I was imagining.

I'm glad you had players like Jabes and Ezeriah to reassure your good work and that you gave pbp another chance. Not reading other players posts is baffling to me, I get excited every time my phone notifies me of a new post and that I get to continue a story completely put together by multiple people.

@HypCo You have to tell me how I can get notifications, I'm always stuck refreshing my screen when I passe a computer....

I have my gmail set to have a different notification sound from the rest of my emails, if you have gmail I can walk you through how to set that up as well.

Ygne 'bout to get cut in twain.
