Stratus was glad that they were now loosely allied with the Dwarf. The last thing that he wanted to do was to be forced to kill the living on a day like this one. He was still uncertain of their motivations - were they, in fact, tomb robbers, with no more justification than for profit? The dwarf...

Can you put the turn prompts after the spoiler tags? I do read the spoilers, but sometimes miss important things like that when they're at the bottom of a spoiler, not sure why.

I've struggled to know when to take my turn this whole game for some reason. I'm constantly asking "who are we waiting for?" only to find that the answer is "me".

With no more time to waste, Stratus strode forth. He stepped upward into the air, as if borne by the very clouds, and arrived on the ground behind the flameskull. By now, his sword glowed with a majestic light, and he brought it down on the back of the skull in an overhand swing. If we're...

I've only been running games in the Realms since 5e 2014, but of course I played the video games in to 80s and have been vaguely aware of it for coming up on 40 years. My Vault of the Dracolich game here on ENWorld takes place in Battledale, but otherwise I am mostly unfamiliar with the...

TEAM INFILTRATE Encounter: Prison & Storeroom Time: ~16:05 on 4 Tarsakh 1483DR Begin Round Eight

Team Infiltrate Lorent's illusory fire drove the oxen to stomp away from the grate in a mild panic. Terrin threw his javelin, which clattered to the floor, lost to him. Copper shoved the wagon, his powerful giant's body leaning in. The wheels creaked and the wagon rolled until it reached the...

Team Lake As Bjorn began to lead the kayaks down a tight twisting tunnel of water, Svetlana flew up into the cave that Guldred had passed by, looking for the source of the far-away light. She discovered something interesting indeed: An enormous ancient monolith, carved with faded runes. Their...

I don't think so. It's referring to the training in Heavy Armor that is usual for Chainmail or Medium Armor that is usual for a Chain Shirt, but it's telling you that it grants you the training required to wear it.

The maps you're talking about positively are extremely popular and, at least for a time, sold very well for decent coin in the aftermarket. I've never understood why WotC didn't make more of them. The ones that you're speaking of negatively, like the ones sold for Pathfinder, have the benefit...

He's ta He's tall enough to reach up and close it after everyone is through and if he has oil, he can just slosh it on. But if you want to rig it to dump oil on whoever opens it or something, I guess it would probably be a dc15 DEX Tinker or Thieves' Tools thing.

I'm not sure I understand. If you're just going to spill oil over the grate after it's closed, there's no roll, you can just do it (with your Action), but if you want it to have some kind of mechanical trigger (like lighting when someone opens it, or dumping oil on them), I think it depends on...

Grumble.
