    She reached out with her mental halberd, just as ... ... Bar-De-Door teleported 500 feet straight up and hovered over the inn. He had cast Dimension Door. The entity that was Us screeched to a halt and hurtled back along the underground tunnels, accidentally engulfing Foghorn, Sister Jericho...

    Foghorn stared morosely into the distance. "I wonder what became of that Macfeece chap we hired? You know, the wizard who did everything by the book. We sent him out to find Flora but he never came back." By an amazing coincidence1, just at that moment, the entity that called itself Us...

    As the sun set over the featureless sand sea, Adeliva requisitioned some sleeping bags, a ten-gallon water drum and a week's supply of rations for five. Then Goatee cast Leomund's Tiny Hut over them and they all had their first proper meal in days and took turns to rest. Adeliva's breathing as...

    What's my motivation again? Oh, for pity's sake. We have to stop the invaders sacking the city! But they aren't going to sack it. They're going to destroy it. You heard all that talk about earthquakes and krakens. That makes it worse ! No, if they destroy the city, we won't have to pay...

    "I spend my plot point," said Albert's player quietly. Everyone around the table looked at him in amazement. "I didn't know we were playing plot points," said Adeliva's player, who was also ex-DM Jones, "That's cool. What are you going to do?" "How about I declare that this is all an illusion...

    It was Mušḫuššu and he some messages to deliver. One was from Tippy, to say that he was still looking for The Slaven of Estramos and if they came across any clues, to please let him know. The other was from Marduk, the god of Babylon, to the effect that they needed to get a move on with the...

    I am Rajaat ........ Goatee hastily consulted the 5e Dark Sun Campaign Guide. "Rajaat, the first sorcerer king, imprisoned in The Hollow by Borys, who became a dragon but was eventually slain by the magic sword Scourge, that was crafted by Rajaat himself. There's irony for you." "It wasn't...

    I need you to............ " ....... wait here as our anchorman. It is very important that we have somewhere to come back to." As she said this, Tasha noticed Albert listening intently. More intently than people usually listen. She tried to read his mind and - it wasn't there. Just like the...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Many Point Buy Options

    It gets interesting if you consider, not the ability scores themselves, but the resulting set of modifiers. Odd-numbered scores are "wasteful" in the sense that you could spend one or two fewer point and still get the same modifier, and then you might as well have used the points saved to boost...

    Tasha ordered a Bladeswinger, Goatee ordered a Magic Roundabout, Albert ordered a Sleight of Hand, Adeliva settled for a Mountain Ash and Footnote sighed and got out his pan-pipes because nobody had any Tyrrian money and he was going to have to earn it for them by performing in bars.

    So. do we roll initiative then or what.............................. "You want the entire city to roll for initiative? Do you have any idea how long that would take?" "You could do groups?" "Still no good. The Guild of Bakers would want to bake their own rolls for a start. You have no idea...

    Rikus thought no-one was paying him any attention when he whispered...................... ... but he was wrong. Not only did Adeliva practise her precognitive skills by accurately predicting every word just before he said it, but Goatee was telepathically reading the sentences as soon as they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Polymorph and a Box

    Logically, the spell can never end so you are forced to maintain concentration on it indefinitely. You cannot cast another spell that requires you to maintain concentration until you resolve the situation by releasing the creature from the box.

    Footnote cleared his throat and hummed to get himself in tune with the story. "This had better be good," warned Rikus, "If Geranium is displeased, I shall be forced to kill you. No pressure." "A century passed," Footnote began, "and then another, but @Bladecoder the Mage remained silent and...

    "I heard you coming," growled Rikus. "My Master does not like intruders. He will shortly release me from these chains and I will kill you all. I have fought many men better than you.
