    (OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

    What do you mean by "new image every time (you) want to move a character?" Under what circumstances would you need that?

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. I can't see why not. Also: You can slide down the "cliffs", as I mentioned under the map, if you're willing to risk it. Sure.

    No worries. I was maybe mildly cross, but I wasn't offended. The wagon can pull off about 10ft of movement uphill per round. It's steep and the wagon is overladen. The "front guard" merc can see the barricade. The wagoners will have to take his word for it. They probably start to worry and get...

    They moved laterally from you. I'm pretty sure that (as long as I'm not being anti-5e with my diagonal movement rules, and I'm not) the closer one is still 30ft from you. (Checking...) Yup. You can jump out and rush the one who's looking at the illusory barricade.

    Yeah, sure! That's the kind of thing that I was hoping to see, that I couldn't necessarily think of by myself.

    (OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

    I use Excel and MS Paint. But I've used Excel since the late 80's and I've always loved to use it for things that it wasn't designed for. (Like character sheets, for example, though I've finally switched to Word for those). I tried to switch to Roll20 once, but the learning curve frustrated...

    Team Ambush Okay, let's discuss expectations. Because everyone seems to be struggling with this ambush, and I'm not sure why. As far as I can tell, you're all within striking distance of the Enemy, so I'm not sure what the problem is. So far, the two players who have posted 'complaints' (I'm...

    So, the only thing that @Tonguez did 'wrong' * is that he still has an action. * (It's not wrong, it's great! It's just incomplete. We're all learning as we go!) Let me explain: The Ability Checks are part of your movement, allowing the Kayak to move on a success. Shade-9 Succeeded, so the...

    Team AMBUSH Urgan created the illusion of a barricade of trees, just past the contested switchback. Distracted by Merrick, the two front guard mercenaries did not see it appear, but as they were within line-of-sight of it, they couldn't fail to notice it. When they did, they continued to...

    I'm going to repost the stuff about Team Lake's hazards here, for anyone who wants to discuss it without having to go back-and-forth between the IC and here. Everyone feel free to comment, no matter which group you're in, if you have questions, concerns, or comments. Oh, and if it isn't obvious...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Lake Shade-9 braced himself as the kayak dropped from the creek and plunged into the flow of the full river. Though she was invisible, Aywin could tell that Svetlana, who had flown ahead, had circled back when she realized that there were many half-submerged rocks in the river, and that...

    (IC) Dog Days of Doom!

    Stratus liked what Deirdre was thinking, and he too threw a flask of holy water that he'd acquired from one of the priests during the long procession. Only, instead of flinging it at a Zombie, he hurled it toward the creature that had once been the body of the High Priest. Same as above. DC 10...

    I'm not sure what Message you mean? The Spell in general, or a specific casting? If you can cast it without Components (including the Verbal component) then I think you could do it without even whispering. More like telepathy.

    Hmm... I kind of thought of the Intimidation as being your declared Action, and had its effects be what I felt was appropriate to your attempt. Also, IMO the act of "Dodging" (more Defending in any way you can) is a visual thing, or in other words - they'd figure out your ruse sooner. I'm...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Ambush The two front guard mercenaries, having only seen Merrick, had no idea who he was or what he was doing there. It was clear on their face that they'd intended to attack, but the look he gave them gave them pause. Instead, they backed away, while one called out to the wagon, "Stranger...

    Team LAKE Okay, so, this is probably a bit experimental and might be confusing, but help me give it a try! Each of the Hazards works sort-of like a Monster, except that you can't kill them. You CAN "Attack" them. Your paddle works like a quarterstaff wielded two-handed. On a Hit, you can...

    One of the best ways to stay out of sight is to be out of line-of-sight (IE you also can't see them). I imagine that for most of setting up the ambush, no one could see the enemy. You could, however, hear the wagon coming up (they had some difficulty getting it past where that tree grows up in...

    That's strange. I fixed that when you discovered it. Seems like it didn't get saved... I'll fix it again. Everyone, please do an audit of my "One-Liner" for your character (and for your familiar, if you have one). See if there's any resource-management that's wrong or missing.
