In the future, I'm thinking we could use a quickstart set of rolls like this, for every time you guys go into a new room:

Nethis doesn't need to roll Stealth unless she's using her actions to do stuff. Dot should still roll Stealth though.

Also Asha should have Advantage on Stealth when not wearing his armor, right?

[The Commander]

I'm happy for this to be the case going forward.

Although I would, perhaps, suggest that Dot's Stealth be tied to whoever she's attached to at the time. It would be incredibly weird for an enemy to spot Dot, but not the person she's attached to, and vice versa.

Sure, that sounds good. :>

My general lack of awareness of people but hyper-awareness of anything vaguely spider-shaped says different! You, of course, make total sense though!

@dangelo - love that roll sequence for entering rooms!

The point of this campaign isn't to level up (and I don't think we'll really get to that) but here's the EXP accumulated so far:

Sir Theodore and his party: 2300 each
Zombies + Swarms: 2000 each

[dangelo]

Anyone who examines the tomb and the stained glass windows may roll Intelligence (Investigation) CD 16.

Result:

Spoiler

You have entered Castle Ravenloft through its westernmost section (the "front" of the castle), and traversed to it's easternmost section, (the "back" of the castle). If you break these stained glass windows, you should glimpse the Valley of Barovia from the edge of a thousand-foot cliff.

If you fail the check, you're not sure if the catacombs are exactly below the chapel. The spiral staircase made it hard to track if the catacombs faced north, south, east or west.

[J-H]
