Maybe something like ''prioritized in-character decisions and actions over what was clearly most practical'' lol? Also, am I misunderstanding that we are leveling one character at a time instead of the whole party at once?

Alma looks after Russet. But the rest of the group is moving deeper into the cave. The logic is sound. She doesn't know how intelligent yetis are, but everyone seems confident they're capable of revenge. So best to nip the problem in the bud. As she hurries to follow, her copies right on her...

Hey sorry for disappearing I've had a very busy few weeks. I'm good with the DM advancing the story is needed if things are too slow. As for party leader, Alma is definitely more reactive and more used to taking orders than not, but she's always going to lean towards a cold practicality.

''I don't believe the yeti understand Common. It won't comprehend your insult,'' Alma said, straightening up. Looking past the new wall of spikes, she let out a slow breath that flowed past her lips as steam. Centering her mind, she reached out psychically. Grasping for the mother yeti's own...

Alma flinches as the snow explodes against the cavern wall. The ground trembles from the impact of the male yeti and the pained cries of the others fill the air. The cavern is absolute chaos. Amidst it all, she sees Jack go down. Not hurt, but still seemingly unconscious. Her head whips towards...

Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for clarifying. Sorry, should have caught that when I was initially looking through the hb. Reading up on some of the other thoughts proposed, I personally think the 2nd option, the 1d20 and 1d12 being separate rolls, might be easier to distinguish. Though...

Alma grunts in frustration, leaning out from her hiding place to get a better vantage point. There are mixed signals from the group. But ultimately, she knows they want this thing away from them. She channels another spell, the pungent stink of sulfur beginning to fill the cavern. She hopes the...

Alma quickly follows their lead. She keeps an eye on Perilou, making sure the halfling can scurry into a hiding place as well. Zeth's fumble catches her attention, making her hesitate. She gestures silently for him to follow as she finds a space between some rocks. Tucking herself down into the...

''Agreed. If one is dead and the other is meant to head elsewhere there's no reason to stay,'' Alma says. With the halfling secured, she moves quietly along with the rest of the group, back towards the bridge.

If it seems the small yeti has fallen asleep, come towards us quietly. We're up on the ledge here. If you can get close enough, we may be able to reach you, Alma relays. Do you know where the others in your party are? We were told there were three of you aside from Garret.

Alma freezes. She gestures to whoever is closest, pointing at her ear. No. This is Alma Ostergaard. I am here with a group tasked by your guide, Garret, to retrieve you. If you are Perilou Fishfinger. If not, please disregard this. She looks to the others, her voice barely over a whisper...

Alma follows along, staying close to the front. She lets Lumrolur know they are closing in before cutting the connection. Instead turning her efforts to scanning the perimeter for the halfling. She can't see where the halfling is, or if she's moving. So as they inch closer, she keeps putting out...

''In either case, to reach the halfling, I will need to be within thirty feet of her. I'll need to get closer than Lumrolur is.'' Alma pauses, watching as the shadowy magic floods the space around them. ''Oh, this will help. Should we move closer together as a group, then?''

''Not against a creature like that. If it were humanoid yes, but,'' Alma shakes her head. ''Lumrolur is correct. We only know the location of one prisoner at the moment. If I can get closer, within 30 feet of the area or so, I could use a spell to sense the location of the others. Or I can push...

I see. We are entering the cave now. Remain in contact. Alma looks to the others. ''Correction, no one is being eaten yet, to my knowledge. Lumrolur is investigating, but suggested the parent yetis might be keeping someone as a pet. I'm unsure if this is a social dynamic they possess.'' Her...

Another pause. An intrusive thought? Or something else? Don't go too far without us. It'll make it difficult to reach you if you're in danger. Do you--excuse me, are you saying that you can see a prisoner being eaten? ''He says there's someone on the left side, possibly trying to communicate...

Alma's brows furrow. She looks confused for a moment. Makes a mental note to look out for that second voice in their next exchange. ''I'm in contact with Lumrolur,'' she reports to the others, staying right on their heels. ''He's scouting deeper in. He says there's a stone bridge to the right...

"Unfortunately, protection magic isn't my specialty. Likewise, I find communication unlikely. Yeti have their own language and it's unlikely any of us speak it. Unless Aric can manage it. Even then, they are known to be quite aggressive." Alma watches Lumrolur disappear into the depths of the...

''The longer we sit here and discuss it, the less likely they are to be alive. I am still surprised that you were. If we are going to find them, we must go,'' Alma insists. ''Return down the mountain, as Jack said. You will only make it more difficult for us to succeed from here.'' After a beat...

Almas lips press in a tight line. She looks to the others. Practicality would say they should turn back here. Their charge is acquired. They won't risk as much descending with only him. But she knows people can be sentimental. She isn't sure what would be the acceptable answer. "The shelf is...
