Guilty until proven innocent [OOC]

[Smilex]

Am I allowed to post again or should I let the out come of the nobles actions play out first?

Go ahead. This is only a turn based game during fighting and similar situations.

[Izzarra]

Just so you know until December 1st my ability to post will be erratic.

[Smilex]

These things happen. Take care with whatever you've got going.

[whiteflash]

Just so you know until December 1st my ability to post will be erratic.

It happens.

Does this mean Chazwick should look at what he's doing now as a one-person job?

Speaking of, do I need to roll yet?

[Smilex]

As an afterthought, he asks "Does the Pathmaker actually forbid cannibalism? I kind of stopped listening to the sermons on his teachings after 'tear down weak laws and replace them.' Not that I've ever been tempted, mind you."

The Pathmaker is a god of Trickery. He's a God of destroying bad laws and finding new ones. He's a god of doubt. It's completely within his realm to try to make or break laws, to sow confusion about their content and meaning, to argue for or against laws that exist. I personally find Rikkan's actions here beautifully in concert with the faith of the Pathmaker.

In the Empire of Scales lizardmen are a large faction and they do indeed happily eat the sentient dead. There's no religious law against this. It is culturally considered barbaric and uncivilized, it's something that marks one a 'country bumpkin', poor and certainly not noble. In the southern hills it would be natural. In the center of the Empire cannibalism is frowned on to the point of getting one mocked and driven out of a community.

Killing someone for eating them is of course unlawful in the Empire. Eating the diseased is considered stupid.


EDIT: Please roll stealth. I believe Izzarra said Caex follows Chazwick so we'll go with that in the absence of other clues.

[whiteflash]

(1d20+7)[8] for Stealth. Let's see where that takes us.

Edit: Downhill. And quickly, too.

[Slayerofundead]

I changed my personality from law above all.things to loyalty above all things. It makes more sense.

Rikkan knows his in way over his head but that doesn't mean he will not sow the seeds of confusion an attempt to turn the table.

Alos how do edit my signature? I have forgotten.

[Ramsus]

Missed the part about Initiative.
(1d20)[18]

[Smilex]

Ok. At this point the lizardmen and ophidians start moving towards Atronia (with their axes). They seem to believe they'll be collectively punished severely should one of 'them' escape so they think they are forced to stop you. Yet they're not charging.
Moving decisively Atronia actually has time to break the locks before things have a chance to become a fight. If someone still has ideas on how to avert a fight you can still try to do so. You can also reposition yourselves before things get fighty. So just tell me where you want to be.

Justius and Rodrik move with Atronia to accompany her.

[Slayerofundead]

Sir Rikkan will try to convert more of them. If I can what should I roll?

[whiteflash]

I don't remember if I said this, but Chazwick would have wanted to take one of the ordinary daggers. Is it too late for that?

Anyway, initiative. Let's hope I don't Nat1 on this one too. (1d20+3)[10]

[Slayerofundead]

What do I roll for initiative?


[roll]1d20[/roll]

[roll]2d20[/roll]
I can't sseem to get it to work.

(1d20)[15]

I can't sseem to get it to work.

You typed the code perfectly. Did you try to add it in by editing the post? The forum doesn't let you do that; you have to type it in while you're first writing the post. (I never asked, but I assume it's an anti-cheating measure.)

Anyway, as far as game mechanics, it's 1d20 plus your Dexterity mod. (I think there might be things that modify it, but I don't know of any. There was a feat for that in 3.5, but that's too weaksauce for a 5e feat.)

Edit: See? I didn't touch the code at all, and it registered as a proper roll. Let's just hope Smilex lets you use that Nat15.

Edit2: Oh, and I meant to answer your previous question, but never got around to it. Whoops? To edit your signature, go to the top-right corner of any forum page and look for a link designated "Settings." That takes you to the User Control Panel. There's a section of that page towards the bottom called "My Settings," and the link you want is there.

[Slayerofundead]

(1d20+2)[18]

Thank you for the help. I think you are correct.

[whiteflash]

[roll0]

Thank you for the help. I think you are correct.

You're welcome. And a Nat16? Nice!

[Slayerofundead]

You're welcome. And a Nat16? Nice!

Do you know how to edit the signature? Ive done it before but now I cant find the option to edit it agin.

Thank you again.

You're welcome again.

It seems like every time I join a new game I need to take five minutes to find that link, and I wanted to help you skip that process.

Uncle Zain initiative
(1d20+1)[13]

Uncle Zain will cast mage armor and then use shocking grasp.

[Smilex]

Ok, what we've got is a nice large rumpus
Technically the initiative order is this but as we all know things happen more or less simultaneously. People don't actually wait for someone else to get a blow in before they do their own thing. People advancing with weapons, Zain casting his mage armor. A few threats here and there. It's obvious to everyone that somebody is going to get hit. The first round of battle starts and what I've got so far is:

19 Caex
18 Atronia
17 Rikkan
15 Lucia
15 Ophidians (6)
14 Coatell -
13 Zain -
12 Maria - hides Stealth 18.
11 Miranda -
10 Rodrik -
10 Chazwick -
10 Yaj'dak -
5 Justius -
4 Lizardmen(3)

Anyway, there's lots of players, lots of action so please get your attack and damage rolls in :)

[whiteflash]

10 Chazwick - hit with dagger? Can you confirm?

He wouldn't want to... but it's starting to look like he hasn't got much choice.

[dice]1d20+5[/dice] to hit.
[dice]1d4+3[/dice] to hurt.

Can I hold off on picking a target until my turn comes up? Either way, just assume (provisionally or otherwise) that he stabs the nearest non-Ambrosia brandishing a weapon. (Natural weapons count.)

[whiteflash]

Dang it, I used the tags from Mythweavers.

(1d20+5)[8] to hit.
(1d4+3)[7] to hurt.

Edit: Max damage and a Nat3 to hit? The rolls are trolls.

[Slayerofundead]

Im not sure what to roll for my branch as a weapon. Does it also count as a simple weapon? If so I get a proficiency bonus but id have to look up what thet is.

Edit
Did my new ophidians stay with Yaj'dak and Rikkan?

The branch is an improvised club. No proficiency bonuses, d6 damage. Strength bonus +3.

The ophidians were already worshippers of Pathmaker, they didn't actually change religions :)
But your devoutness appealed to them and that's why they're not immediately joining the fight as fast as the lizardmen. They feel for you so they wait six seconds before hitting you with an axe :)

[Luccan]

Claws

(1d20+5)[14]
(1d4+3)[7]

Yaj doesn't particularly want to kill these people at the moment. If it comes up, he'll aim to knock unconscious rather than kill

[WindStruck]

What I'm thinking is, the slaves are just demanding we leave.

Maybe we could do just that.

Then try to sneak back again later.

But.. yeah. maybe a bit too meta to do now, too risky.

Well, within the six seconds where everything is happening right now, at least one of the slaves is getting an arrow that's making them bleed on the ground, the lizardmen will be hitting somebody with an axe and Lucia will react with a firebolt. The ideas that the slaves have could change at that point.

Btw, could I get the attack and damage rolls with that? :)

EDIT:

ALSO, the second round is about to start. Please feel free to announce actions and roll everyone!

[Izzarra]

Trying to keep up with the thread but I keep getting pulled away.

Initiative: (1d20+2)[9]

Standard turn:
Attack with quarterstaff: +4 to hit, 1d8+2
Bonus action unarmed strike: +4 to hit, 1d4+2
