Yeah, especially when it's pretty much universally agreed that the Battlemaster is OP - they simply couldn't tone it down for 2024 without ruining what makes it so popular - it's versatility is exactly what is wrong with it. Its existence is what makes it so damn hard to design good Fighter...

Woohoo!

Okay. Thanks for the correction. I definitely disagree with you. I'm fine with it as a niche theory, though!

Stratus came up behind a zombie and hacked into its back with his longsword. Woohoo! I just saw that I missed R3. He Hit AC 23 for 8 slashing! Oh, and if earlier I missed a chance to Intercept some damage, I rolled terribly, but he intercepted 4 points worth.

Team Infiltrate - I love the ox stampede idea, but it seems to me that it would probably take longer to get them into a good position than you have, and you'd have to leave the portcullis open. It might work out, but it's a dangerous gamble. OTOH, I can see how it could be easily worked on...

Give me another INT Arcana check now that you have a short breather.

Stratus decided that he'd spent too much of his efforts defending others and not quite enough defending himself as the skeleton stabbed him twice in his leg before he could get his shield around. He glanced over his shoulder and saw that the brazier was not yet lighting, and that Benny was...

You seem to me to have a very strange idea on what "proof" of something is and isn't. Your "Lack of gods makes the world suck" theory is simply an interesting thought exercise. I wouldn't disagree with you if you said that it was something that one could infer (if they were inclined to). But...

It's Gladiator meets Dune meets Conan meets Mad Max. And no one cares about the dead gods.

Team Infiltrate - I posted some notes IC regarding light, but feel free to ask questions if you have any. Otherwise, it occurs to me that it might be important to know how the Portcullis works. It's a heavy iron gate that drops from above, held up by some chain and rope, where the chain runs...

Extra notes regarding light: There are some torches on the south wall, but they don't really reach anything important. It's dark enough now that anywhere that isn't within a few squares of the center of each room is in darkness (with disadvantage to attack them, etc) but not so dark that you...

Team Infiltrate It was time for a strategic retreat, and everyone knew it. Lorent disappeared just as the elf-cultist was about to breathe poison gas on him once more, and appeared across the room. He knocked Rowlow back with an eldritch bolt, which freed Terrin and the Drow, who retreated...

Stratus had shielded Deirdre with his shield before pressing forward, but he'd expected her to follow. Instead, she'd been held back by the quick actions of the skeletons, who were much faster than the zombies that they had fought up until now. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Havok, Stratus...

Team Caves (Cont) The kobold was unafraid of the other trees, which did not move, in spite of appearing to be the same sort as the animate, angry one. She led the group between them to a wide, flat space next to a pool of stagnant, mineral-rich standing water. "Rest here, she said proudly...

Team Caves The tree-creature gave little notice to Torhak's offer of food. It only reached out for him before giving up with a frustrated howl. Pikki shrugged at Merrick's question, then suggested, proud of herself for her 'vast' knowledge, "Trees want light!" Anyone in the group speak sylvan?

20/60 is the go-to for improvised ranged, I believe.

Wow. It's an interesting theory, I will grant, but it hardly seems like the "main theme" to me, but more like "interpretive subtext". I always saw it more grunge. As in "the gods are dead.... and no one cares". I think maybe we bring our own to it when it comes to that aspect. Meanwhile...

They are a mix. Most of them are human, with the occasional elf or half-elf. A few of the mercs are dwarves, but none that are where you are. I think that only the guy with the Dragon Breath is an elf who is in the prison. Siobhan might have a few more with her, I would have to look.
