Hack and Slash Decathlon OOC

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Not sure that Charm Person lets you order them around. They just become friendly, and even get advantage on their Wisdom save if you're fighting them. That's why I held off on Charm from the beginning, since they'd get advantage and it really wouldn't do much.

If we're treating Charm Person as more effective than that, I'll have to remember that going forward.

The case I'd make is that I wasn't fighting, at that point I was cowering in fear.

I'd be supportive towards Mr. +1 wisdom save to roll his advantage, though.

Quick fix.. 2nd level armor of ags does 10 damage, not the 5 of 1st level. Thanks!

Just read the spell, fighter definitely gets advantage. I'd also rule that while "do you mind standing over there? I'm awfully crowded" is a reasonable request of a friendly acquaintance, "look at the corner and cover your ears and ignore everything" isn't, and might even warrant another save, as would attacking one of the fighter's friends.

So here's advantage for the DC 13 Wis save: (1d20)[5]

EDIT: He's not a very smart fellow.

Every wolf that attacked you (EDIT: and got hit by Armor of Ags) dies. Will check in a sec, but I believe that kills A and H.

OAs also only proc on willing movement, so DW doesn't cause those either.

Bah!
I find that most of his rulings are utter nonsense, and certainly don't subscribe to them myself, but fair.

Anywho

Orik's Wis save
(1d20)[5]

[Janwin]

Gotta figure out if the Wizard drops before doing Lemkock's turn (since if he doesn't, just gonna do a free 1d12 damage on him from the Witch Bolt, and if he does, gotta cast a new spell).

This is what I get for reading the IC before the OOC. The wizard drops, ignore the things I did. I'll use those rolls if my rogue and fighter live.

[Janwin]

heh All good.

I did Lemkock and Thorgrim's actions there, since they go before the Rogue. We'll see if they can drop him. 17 damage if he fails the save, 12 if he passes (I assume a 20 hits in melee).

[puzzler7]

The rogue dies. The fighter acts as in my earlier post.

Looks like you've got this one in the bag. My plan was to have the rogue dive your lone wizard, but he kept failing his save versus the darn fear.

[Janwin]

Yeah, that fear saved my bacon REAL hard. Does Booming Blade apply if you miss? Since he missed Grodmur with his attack.

[puzzler7]

It does not. Probably should have clarified that at some point.

[Janwin]

HA. Anbul stands up with 1 HP, and everyone else whiffs terribly except Spikes McGee.

Let me add in Anbul's action.

[puzzler7]

DC 13 Wis save for dissonant whispers: (1d20)[10]

Man, Wis saves are just not my thing today.

[Janwin]

I mean, I'm ok with this...

"He hits the far wall, and falls down, dead." Ok, that made me laugh probably more than it should have. heh

[puzzler7]

Well, congratulations! You are now first place in the second event of the decathlon (I'm saying the first was recruitment, to make this an actual decathlon and not a nonathlon).

I haven't actually figured out details going forward yet. You definitely get 2 levels (each), and some amount of gold. Let's say 5000 gp (total) and an uncommon magic item (each)? I may adjust that up or down.

The next event will be capture the flag, for which I have a rough ruleset worked out, but I don't have concrete details. And for the sake of knowing the next two events, the event after CTF will be a foot race.

[Janwin]

CTF and foot races. Good thing dwarves are natural sprinters. Very dangerous across short distances.

Maybe take some of that 5k and invest in a pair of stilts?

[bc56]

Orik Wis save

Edit: oops, I already did this.

[puzzler7]

What do I roll versus the sword stealing? Is it perception?

Anyways, here's a d20: (1d20)[3]

If it's perception, that's the final result. He's not a very clever or insightful fellow.

EDIT: I don't think it matters what skill it is. Also, very clever. +1 imaginary DM point to you, sir.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

How does attacking the unconscious fighter work? Is it an auto-hit, auto crit or what?

[puzzler7]

Both of those things. Of course, the first hit will wake him up, so after that you just get advantage for him being prone.

I would have done it first turn, but somebody sleeped my rogue

[puzzler7]

bc56, a question. How is Sorrow moving to H5? Unless she has 50 ft movement, she's gonna proc AoOs from both the fighter and the rogue.
EDIT: Never mind, I googled "5e moving through ally space" and got my answer.

Also, GM, the fighter explodes. I'll post in the IC shortly, but congratulations! You are second place in the second event of the decathlon (by the skin of your rooster's teeth, I might add). Everybody in your party gets 2 levels and an uncommon magic item, and you get 5000 gold to spend however you see fit. You (and Janwin, and anyone else who moves on) can sell your current equips and any unused consumables at half price.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Finished with level-up/uncommon magic item picking.

Gretro Gretro takes a level of Rogue and a level of Barbarian, gaining a total of 16 hit points, also taking +2 STR with his ASI. He takes a Cloak Of Protection for his magic item.

An'on takes 2 levels of Wizard, gaining 12 hp. He takes the War Caster feat, and spells he adds to his spellbook include: Invisibility, Spider Climb, Locate Object, and Detect Thoughts, in prep for the CTF round. He takes a Headband of Intellect for his magic item.

Debian takes a level of bard and a level of sorcerer, gaining 13 hp. He gains 1 Strength and 1 Charisma with his ASI, and takes a +1 Shield as his magic item.

Elcan takes a level of Druid and a level of cleric, gaining 14 hp. He gains 2 Wisdom with his ASI, and takes Mithral Plate as his magic item.

I will take care of the 5000 gp budgeting tomorrow. Probably going to spend it on a ton of potions of various varieties. Like Speed Potions and Healing Potions. IDK yet. But a lot of old stuff is gonna get tossed out,

...Orrr, I could just spend it all on the Tentacle Rod

EDIT: I thought I forgot to give Gretro a feat/ASI but then I remembered I gave him a level of each of his classes so he wouldn't get one.

[SleepyMinstrel]

Every single time. There's always at least one. I think it's already dead but just in case eldritch blast - (1d20+5)[20]

[charlesrwest]

Estron Hit die:
(1d8+3)[5]

Orik Wis save
(1d20)[20]

[Janwin]

Elcan takes a level of Druid and a level of cleric, gaining 14 hp. He gains 2 Wisdom with his ASI, and takes Mithral Plate as his magic item.:

Wouldn't that make him lose his Druid abilities, and thus be a really bad choice of a magic item for him?
