D&D 5E (OOC) Vault of the Dracolich 5E (Full)

[FitzTheRuke]

Do I have to make the check at the beginning or end of my turn?

Escaping a Grapple is an Action in 5e. So whenever you take your Action.

Edit: To be more clear, it's an Athletics or Acrobatics check to either burst out or wiggle out. I just realized that means you can't use the Disengage Action. If you swim away, it'll probably use an Opportunity Attack to just grab you again. Wow. This encounter is tough.

Don't worry. It's all good. About to do my thing.

You should be in darkness and not actually able to see a tentacle. The only light source on the lake was Auraia's torch and she jumped in the water. I'm inclined to let you get away with it - but those characters are already pretty MVP with their diversity. We should probably pay attention to whatever few disadvantages they have.

You said that Kurzon can make out the Genasi sisters from the shore. That means there's enough light for Aquaria to at least see herself, and there's a big tentacle wrapped around her, so she should at least be able to see the tentacle that's holding her.

Edit: Oh, I see, Kurzon has darkvison. Perhaps Aquaria will just heal herself, then, if she can't see anything.

As soon as they level up, everyone but Pyrus is taking Third Eye. Should have taken it before. Darkvision for the win.

Yeah so far, Kurzon is the only one in the River Gang with Darkvision, and torches aren't the best light source. Udit has a lantern, but he hasn't used it.

Oh that makes me think of something. I have, for years, just told people to "level up" when I feel like it. If you all prefer, I will do it properly and award XP. Would you prefer that?

Depends on which one levels us up faster...

I don't even know... I feel like I do it faster, but I've never done the math.

(BTW, knowing about all the disadvantages, did you want to redo your turn? I am at a stag party, so I will finish the round later. You have time to edit.)

There are *two* torches, not one. The one that was dropped in the water, and the one held aloft by Drako's mage hand.
