Madness at Brightmore Abbey OOC [5e]

[Kushina43]

Aaahhh minimum damage why

And just 1 short of a crit

[Amnestic]

The bugs have an AC of 14 so 2 hits, 2 kills from Jade.

[Xihirli]

If I do that three more times we win!

[Khosan]

Well, three more hits, so 3 bugs left?

[Xihirli]

I kill two three more times.
So six left.


EDIT: Yes, you are correct

[Spore]

A maxxed Shadow Crash is 36 damage, or 18 saved. Should I just used a 3rd level spell slot and nuke them?

I am taking 16 damage from activating my Madness power regardless, so might as well save your HP.

[Xihirli]

Yeah, nuke them. Sounds good.

We have to figure out why the elf's not getting up, time might be of the essence.

[Xihirli]

Do we still have Jok’lek and Emilia?

[Amnestic]

Do we still have Jok’lek and Emilia?

Don't know, but it's been long enough and I'd like to have a post out before I go on holiday so...I guess I'll just assume they did choose to cast Shadow Crash and put an IC post up to that effect.

[Xihirli]

Medicine! (1d20+1)[13]

[Khosan]

Let's see if Skipsy can pass a skill check:

Medicine - (1d20+2)[22]

EDIT: Holy, yes she can apparently.

[Spore]

You cobbling together a medicine check post? Because Emilia is busy fighting the insanity in her head. I am hesitant to roll for my sanity saves now or preshield/metagame to voluntarily eat the damage to heal and shield through it.

Plus a tiny player poll: Would you like Emilia to switch to a bit more defensive subclass? Elly has okayed me switching to Discipline, because Shadow is kinda very aggressive.

[Khosan]

Yep, just posted. One off, that's rough.

EDIT: Just saw the poll. I think switching's fine, Skipsy would still keep her healing/support magic prepared both because it's just who she is and because it's always good to have a backup source of healing. Discipline's a good option, blending offense and defense with Atonement.

[Xihirli]

Don’t you have Guidance?

[Khosan]

I do have Guidance, I need to remember to use that more often. Could Skipsy have pre-cast that on herself?

[Amnestic]

I'll say yes, since that's a pretty reasonable pre-cast situation. I'll have a post up shortly.

[Khosan]

I'm thinking we may be able to get away with just a short rest. Skipsy's nearly out on spells (just 1 1st level left, could be 2 but I forgot to ask if I could ritual cast Detect Magic back at the watchtower), but is still a decent ranged combatant even without them, plus Ox is still somehow unhurt. If Emilia's also running low, then we might need the long rest.

Also, man, I really gotta learn to expect less from Skipsy's rolls for things with high modifiers.

[Amnestic]

As a reminder from the houserules:

Long rests can only be taken in 'Safe Havens', which require a full day of downtime - in other words, two consecutive sleeps. Safe Havens are environments where characters do not feel the need to be on guard, and are both materially safe and psychologically feel at ease and comfortable - where the players do not feel the need to set watches and have comfortable beds. Forts, friendly towns, and guarded houses are examples of Safe Havens.

You can sleep (to stave off exhaustion rolls) wherever, but long rest recovery can only be done where it's 'safe'. Currently, nowhere in the Abbey is safe - though that may change as you continue to explore and deal with the threats therein.

[Xihirli]

It’s late, though, right? Cuz you said it was getting late and then we traveled to the tower.

[Amnestic]

It’s late, though, right? Cuz you said it was getting late and then we traveled to the tower.

Correcto. Traveling back to the Font now is likely to provoke saves vs. exhaustion due to lack of rest (especially if you get lost). So you can sleep (and get short rest benefits) or push on and see if you can make it back without exhaustion, for a potentially better rest there. Or seek an alternate solution, of course, those are just the ones I thought of.

[Xihirli]

I say sleep and short rest, but I might be biased by the houserules making barbarians like short rests as much as battlemasters do.

[Spore]

Alright, I am doing my saves now (7d20)[16][9][20][20][17][20][17](119) Hopefully my head does not explode. Shielding myself with Power Word to prevent a majority of the damage.

Also how much warpstalker meat am I able to salt and store in my bag of holding?

If you wanna make a survival check, will depend on that.

1-9=1 minimeal (serves 1)
10=1 meal (serves up to 6).
17=2 meals
24=3 meals

[Xihirli]

Sure I'll survive. (1d20+4)[15]

[Xihirli]

Curses! Not enough for my purposes. May I make two survival checks because of two warpstalkers?

It's one check for both of them together.

...one day I will finish sketching out my full 'Meals' optional rules.
