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

[Prickly Pear]

Yikes. Dragons really are pretty dangerous with their breath weapon, aren't they? I hope some of you make that save., or this could go pretty badly. Sorry about the Kobolds, Prickly! I think they're all gone no matter what!

DC19 Con save, eh? Sesto will be a goner unless he makes the save.
Is the dragons breath a spell or a magical effect? If so, Sesto's Spellguard Shield might help him... I will roll for Sesto's save and post it.

Spoiler: Spellguard Shield

While holding this shield, you have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects, and spell attacks have disadvantage against you.

I think Loklafd might be a goner, poor fellow. I really like that guy. Maybe we can save him? This might be a good time to do a Healing Potion Audit. Anyone know what we've got?

Sesto has 3 healing potions left and he can also cast Revivify, if he survives the battle.

Regarding Loklafd, instant death according to PHB (p197) is "A character is instantly killed when that character is reduced to 0 hit points and the remaining damage equals or exceeds that character's hit point maximum". Loklafd has 58 hit point max but has "only" received 21+64=85 HP damage, which is less than what would be needed to kill him instantaneously. Good news!

OOC: I got tired of waiting... Lorenn, Kalorn, and Primus still have to take turns.

You're itching to kill us all... can't wait, right!!!

Primus has had a good run. I hope he lives, his family would hate it if he never came home, but I don't mind creating a new character. At least, until the Psion is officially released and we get something a little more balanced.

But until then, it's Nova time!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Anybody got anything that can give Sesto a +1 to his save?

 

[tglassy]

Unfortunately, we have no Paladin. I might make a Paladin next. Or an Illusionist Wizard. I’ll have to decide.

 

[gargoyleking]

You're not dead yet!

 

[Ancalagon]

Kalorn feels pretty darn useless at this moment, it's not his type of battle at all at the moment - at least he has some range potential.

No resist energy for Sesto?

 

[Ancalagon]

The Spellguard shield he mentioned above? :O

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The Spellguard shield he mentioned above? :O

Yes, I think that would work to give him advantage. Surprisingly vague wording on it, but I cant imagine how the breath would be nonmagical. Still, Sesto is gonna have to roll a 17 I think. Yikes.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Hey, it occurred to me while I was thinking about resolving the round (still need Lorenn, though) that Kalorn was looking through Sooty's 'eyes' (echolocation) when we'd left him last. I'm not great with the rules on familiars, but I think that means he would not have had the disadvantage from the dragon being unseen. It's nearly right below Sooty. So that first EB would be a Crit, and the second a hit. Am I right?

Edit: No, the first rolls would be the ones that count... so no. Oh well.

 

[tglassy]

They’d be with advantage if the familiar used the Help action.
