A Small Heist [5e] OOC

[Xav]

As I see, stealth rolls don't help much, so - normal speed.

Con save vs paralysis (1d20+1)[11]

[Bobthewizard]

Sweet. Everyone, you should get advantage to attack it, and melee hits are automatically crits.

[Pyrophilios]

Wait with that until I tried to charm it. Having a riding lizzard might be a good way also to cut down our travel time.

[J-H]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is there a way to tell if a creature is charmed when it can't act or react?
I don't think you know if it worked or not until the lizard is un-paralyzed.

[Pyrophilios]

Probably - but it should appear a lot calmer - maybe an insight check?

[J-H]

Can a paralyzed creature even move its eyes and breathe?
I think when we had someone paralyzed underwater the answer was either that breathing is still controlled, or the paralyzed creature just holds its breath automatically/frozen.

[J-H]

Eh, go ahead and roll an insight check...but determining the mood of an unintelligent paralyzed animal is DC 18.

[Pyrophilios]

Fair: Insight

(1d20)[2]

[J-H]

I'm waiting for a post from Breddo.

[Pyrophilios]

Frendle hasn't been online for over two weeks now, I think we can consider the character lost.

[Bobthewizard]

Crit roll (1d6)[5]

[J-H]

You should have two attacks from Extra Attack on your readied attack, then two more attacks from taking your action if that's what you're doing.

[Bobthewizard]

Thanks. I misread the order. Added the extra attacks.

[J-H]

Waiting on Raevis and Barit...or Barit and someone to post for Xav if he's still feeling bad.

[Pyrophilios]

I'll take care of both once I get home

[J-H]

oops
The lizard is Gargantuan, and Raevis is only Large as a scorpion, so it's not a valid target for grappling unless you're just trying to hold on and get carried around by it.

If I'd realized earlier, it would have escaped from melee. Instead, it stayed and died. It had 171hp, and you all had it to 170 damage before I rolled the save vs. poison.

[J-H]

DM rolls because I'm not around my physical dice

[Bobthewizard]

Now that we are closer, do we see any good entrances for creatures our size - cracks under the door, keyholes, slightly open windows?

[J-H]

From what you can see and what you know of how houses are usually built, you've got 3 options:

1. There's a good chance you could fit into a crack under the kitchen door.
2. Most brick houses have weep holes built into the brick near the bottom to allow any moisture that gets inside to drain out. You could probably find one of these.
3. There are windows, but they do not appear to be open. You could perhaps find a way to unlatch one and go in that way.

[J-H]

Can I get a specific route in map coordinates, please?

[Bobthewizard]

I would say D 10 close to C then straight north until we get to the door. If we can get under the door, that might be easiest. If not then we'll look for other ways in.

[J-H]

I'm getting the idea that we need to recruit another player.

[Bobthewizard]

Is it just Pyro and me left?

[J-H]

I think so. Xav hasn't posted since December 9.

[Bobthewizard]

Then let's at least get a 3rd, and maybe a 4th.

[J-H]

Recruit via PM or try public posting?
Having multiple games with all the same players is great as long as everyone stays available, but if/when someone drops, it then impacts all of the games at once.

[Pyrophilios]

I'd say recruit public. The regulars that I played with that were reliable haven't been around in a while

[Bobthewizard]

I'm fine with either

[J-H]

The one person who posted interest in recruiting has so far not made a sheet.

Are you both having fun so far?
Unfortunately, "Beast" is the dominant enemy category for most of this.

Do you want to each make a 2nd character to get back to a party of 4?
