Just a heads up, death saves continue even after we're out of combat. During or after combat, another player can try to help a downed character by performing a medicine skill check in order to stabilize the character. Kit's a little too out of it to think of something like that right now, but Pageflap could, unless he wants to take a crack at one of the sleeping bandits (who will wake up if attacked).

He's planning on asking Barennd to wake up Torben while he ties up the bandits since I'm pretty sure Barennd would be better at medicine than he would be, unless the wolf is still up.

You just have to beat a 10, same as a death save. And stabilizing a character at 0 hp doesn't wake them up. Without magical healing or a potion or some other method that grants hp, a stabilized character will only regain consciousness (and 1 hp) after 1d4 hours.

Ah, I didn't know that. Should probably help Iman first then since he's failed one save so far.

Yeah. Triage. In-story, the characters don't know how many saves someone has made or failed but I guess you can sort of tell who's in worse shape.

EDIT: Ah but Len is ruling to handwave it in favor of moving on with the story. This is why Len is one of my favorite DM's here - story is king (as it should be)!

Yeah, on PbP, I'm always a fan of the DM either waiving things like that or doing the rolling for the players (like initiative). In a RL game, death saves and medicine checks take seconds. In PbP, it could be days. Although trying to stabilize a character while still in combat would need a roll since that would be your action.
Some would call that metagaming. I would call it a game mechanics representation of how badly injured the fallen character is. Failing two deaths saves indicates that the character is pretty badly hurt, and one of the other players should be able to recognize that and realize they can't wait until combat is over before helping their comrade.

I gotta say I am loving the aftermath! A game hasn't made me this giddy since...well, the very first campaign I played, nearly 30 years ago!

The Heroes of Whitesparrow! I love it!

I'm assuming the Cloaks of Protection are for Pageflap, Barenndd, and Aegar. You forgot to mention Aegar in the text. :-)

Aegar was unconscious when the cloaks were delivered, but yes I agree that the fourth cloak should go to Aegar in addition to Kit, Barendd and Pageflap.

None of Aegar's actions were visible to the town, nor were they conducted by the player, so I'm not celebrating them too much in game text. I hope TheDaykinator doesn't mind or feel like it is a slight; if it were me, I wouldn't want my DM to trump up stuff that I didn't do anyway :) Aegar is an old knight anyway, and probably had his share of accolades over the years. There is plenty of goodwill for him among the townsfolk, just not as big a celebrity as Iman or Barendd at the moment :)

However, it is true that he stood back-to-back with Torden in a life-and-death situation and you gave him a good zap for his reward, and I know a good scene will come from you two at some point that will be better than one I would make :)

Indeed! :-)

Yeah, that was a good fight! I really wondered if you guys were going down. I thought Starrbeardo could solo it if he had some decent rolls but we all know the random number generator hates Starrbeardo so I wasn't sure! I figured with Jacketch and McDunno providing cantrip damage it'd be okay, but McDunno was such a cool cat, he knew he had it in the bag the whole time haha!

And of course, I haven't even mentioned your Destructive Wrath that really turned the tides!

I still had a couple more tricks up my sleeve, but I'll hold onto them until later!

To be honest I could've done way better tactically. Chalk it up to experience. :-D

Owl is one of the ones I'm leaning towards, but cat and weasel also caught my eye

Your call :) Owl is considered strong because of the flyby ability, but if you want a furry animal companion then owl just doesn't fill that role.

You can alter its form if you cast it again.

Lol that was awesome! The pack tactics got Iman. I wasn’t expecting something like that lol can’t say Iman won’t do it again though, haha.

I also imagine I could use a raven as a mini Pageflap to communicate from afar, but it'd only be from 100 feet I realize

Ha, yep. A learning experience for the player does not necessarily mean a learning experience for the character!
Think reconnaissance. Aerial or ground?

A raven would be a good visual match, but would Pageflap get jealous of it flying around? Or would he constantly be using the bird's senses to experience flight?
