A Monstrous Night Below OOC

[Xihirli]

Okay, so interpose and close with the archers.

So disadvantage (2d20)[2][2](4)+4; (1d6+2)[7] + (2d8)[6] poison on a CON save
Luckily each of the archers has only one arrow poisoned unless they want to use their action.

[Bobthewizard]

Let's hope the archers only have 13HP each and that the farmers aren't just a ruse to suck us in.

[Xihirli]

Gonna do a little morale check.

(1d20)[2]

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

I guess the poison really doesn't play nice with Sundew's weird physiology.

[Xihirli]

Oh, deepest apologies Doctor, the poison ran out at the end of the sleeping archer's turn.

As best I can tell, can I awaken the archers without Mr. Angry Farmer noticing?

Failing that, what kind of action would it be to snatch some poison from them and make one of my bolts more lethal?

A: I... suppose, but why do you want to?
B: First you'd have to search them to see if they have more poison than just the arrows they've already shot. Which would be an Investigation check... I'll say as a Bonus Action that seems fairish

Because the farmers are gone and all that's left is Mr. Angry.

Then again, they might not realize that we're not here to hurt anyone.

I'll just move up to Angryface and stabbity-stab.

(1d4)[2]

If I need to BA Dash to reach him, ignore that second attack.

Have I rolled ANYTHING decent this game? Gerblech!

[Xihirli]

Okay he's going to kill you, Celia!
Well, maybe. (1d20+3)[5]; (1d4+3)[7]

[JNAProductions]

The dice roller hates farmers too!

(1d20+5)[22]

(1d20+5)[6]
(1d4)[1]

Please roll better, dice! Pretty please?

Also, I could cast Sanctuary on myself, but I've got HP for the moment. So I won't.

[Bobthewizard]

That's impressive. 3 out of 4 attacks were natural 1's.

Edit: Now 4 out of 5 for the two of us.

[Xihirli]

(1d20+1)[7] Morale check, he is nearly bloodied.

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

Well! That was statistically unlikely. I guess I should have just held my breath and hoped no one would ask me to roll that.

What should I do now?

[Xihirli]

I only called for one death save, though… WOW.
So you had two failures and were likely going to die before Xorgid stabilized you.
Congratulations, Xorgid, you saved a life! Gain an inspiration.

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

Oh thank goodness! Thank you, Bobthewizard!

[Bobthewizard]

You are welcome. That was a lot of natural one's for us. If we move your death save up in front of Xorgid's medicine check, we were 5 out of 6 rolling natural ones at one point.

And JNAP, I love that Celia asked Xorgid back what he just said. I'm using a thesaurus to make his posts as esoteric as possible os it's funny that you said the same thing.

[JNAProductions]

I mean, Xorgid's not really that much smarter than Celia-18 Int vs. 16 Int.
But he is much more grandiose in his words. :P

[Bobthewizard]

Yes. He's obnoxious. Celia can definitely translate for him. I pictured your response as more sarcastically saying "this is what you meant to say"

[JNAProductions]

Yes. He's obnoxious. Celia can definitely translate for him. I pictured your response as more sarcastically saying "this is what you meant to say"

It's not, actually. It's Celia being in combat mode and not fully understanding Xorgid's verbosity.

Feel free to needle her over it later.

[Bobthewizard]

No. I'm not picturing him as being arrogant about his big words. Those are just the ones he knows. Like he memorized a dictionary but has hardly ever talked to anyone.

I'll probably back off the schtick as we go, but it's fun right now.

Edit: PS we should kill one of the archers.

[Bobthewizard]

Well, what do you all think? I assume we aren't going to kill them. Should we let the archers go? Tie them up? Have them take us to Carlanis to see what is going on? Or take them with us and continue on our way?

[Xihirli]

Everyone cool with me accelerating us three hours so we can have all of you again?

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

I have no objections. I haven't been able to think of anything interesting to post while Sundew's unconscious.

[JNAProductions]

(1d3)[1]

For my IC post.

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

I feel like I missed something. I thought we had to walk for a little while before getting to the brook spot, and so I thought that we were already accepting that Carl got away and moving on?

...okay, right, those steps never actually happened and my brain just kind of *inserted* them. I hate when my brain does that.

Should we try tracking him, or should we move on with the delivery?

[Xihirli]

That is correct though. Since Carlanis has left, you have waited for Sundew to wake up, taken a short rest, and gone the opposite way for awhile.

[Bobthewizard]

Sorry. I pictured him retreating the way we needed to go. We can move on.

[Bobthewizard]

Xhirli, can Xorgid's spectral duplicate keep watch while Xorgid is getting a long rest?

[JNAProductions]

(1d20)[16] Perception
(1d20)[3] Disadvantage

Gonna call it DC 8 to hear the commotion and wake up.

[Xihirli]

Xhirli, can Xorgid's spectral duplicate keep watch while Xorgid is getting a long rest?

Uh yes, yes it could.
