Madness at Brightmore Abbey OOC [5e]

[Xihirli]

Guys, we need to find more warpstalkers.

[Khosan]

I'll also roll 3 hit die:

Short Rest - (3d8+6)[23]

EDIT: Up to max, perfect.

[Khosan]

I'm halfway through a post but I had a couple thoughts.

For starters, would we have told Analastra about the card? I mean, she's gonna know something's weird with the glowing floating symbol. I ask, because it might be good to have Analastra use the card's effect this round (having Skipsy direct her to stand in it) just to get her some protective shielding. I dunno her health total, but the treant hits hard.

Also, just in general how should we be using the card? My instinct has been to avoid it just so enemies can't also make use of it (unless they run up to where Skipsy started combat just to use the card). It might be a good choice here, since it's just one big guy.

[Xihirli]

Jade would not have, she barely acknowledges we have it.

I'm back and catching up now, my bad

Too late for this round, but you've got a new turn now! :P

[Kushina43]

Alright, I didn't see this in time as I was typing my response, whoops

I'll change the narration and OOC already made, and make any rolls for the new turn here

[Xihirli]

Emilia just taking absolutely zero prisoners.

Analastra trying to shoot this child-sized bow worried she’ll break it.

[Kushina43]

Ah shoot, I mixed up my tabs

[Xihirli]

You could put a spoiler around the rolls.

[Kushina43]

I thought I did, I just had to rename it OOC since it went in the wrong thread

[Xihirli]

Yep, you beat me to it. Just order of events in what I saw and all that.

[Amnestic]

S'all good, we got there in the end! :D

[Khosan]

Probably missed both, but I like the idea of Skipsy being defensive of Ox and taking the penalty to hit when he's hit.

[Amnestic]

Gonna hold off on posting for Jade/Emilia's visions 'til I know if Skipsy+Jok'lek want them or not.

Kinda hoping you all roll a different thing on the d6 but RNG might not be so kind. We'll see :D

[Spore]

Oh, this sounds like a "I hoped someone rolled a 6" post if I ever saw one.

[Amnestic]

Oh, this sounds like a "I hoped someone rolled a 6" post if I ever saw one.

Hah, not in this case. They're not better/worse depending on where the d6 is, just different. More variance=more fun.

[Kushina43]

Sorry, guys, had a bit of a rough patch this past week, I'll be catching up today

[Xihirli]

Jade has suggested we go for more info, Skipsy votes we return with what we've got.

What do Jok'lek and Emilia think?

[Kushina43]

Jok'lek probably thinks we'd be best off getting a little more info like Jade suggests, like what kind of defenses they have or any specific magic, especially with the mention of the all-important Deck

[Amnestic]

If you guys go 2-2 split I'll flip a coin to tie break it. >_>

[Xihirli]

Well right now it’s 2-1.
Where did Spore run off to?

[Khosan]

Skipsy's fine with toughing it out a while longer, she just wanted to put out the idea that they could head back now.

[Spore]

Sadly I am for more info too.

[Amnestic]

At a 3-1 vote we're voting for "more scouting!"

What direction you heading? Up the hill to the top level to give you a vantage point from above? Around the hill to the keep? *All* the way around the hill in the opposite direction? I'm good with any, but need to know so I can do appropriate narration.

[Xihirli]

Making our way toward the tower / garrison area while keeping as out of sight as possible, I think. Those are the two areas we have the least amount of information on so far, and maybe we can get a good vantage point from the tower.

Where is the empty temple on the map?

[Khosan]

Looking at the map, I think it'd probably be best to head uphill. Kinda got the vibe that the gnolls might regularly patrol that entire northeastern area, so just to minimize the odds of us being caught out, it's probably better to approach from above.

Plus we can pass by the dryads on the way up and see what's up with them. They might be open to talking.

[Amnestic]

Where is the empty temple on the map?

That's the building marked 'Abbey' at the centre of the top level, to the northwest of where you are at the moment.

Sure, that's on the way to my thing.
Up the hill through the dryads for now.
