There is 7 PCs and 1 NPC. I'm pretty sure the groups are four and four, but I am not sure that I am clear on who is going where anymore. Let's see... Urgan, Copper, and Torhak with Corrah to the Caves. Merrick, Terrin, Shamal, and Lorent to the Gatehouse. Yeah, you are Team Gate.

I don't think so. We didn't even need to come here to the market! Mini-boss, maybe. Boss? No.

Stratus burst into the room and lunged at the creature looming over Caer. The big paladin held his lingsword in two hands and plunged it deep into the thing's torso. He hi AC 20 for 10 damage. Oooh I so badly want to Smite, but we gotta be conservative!

I'm a little unclear on the plan, which might mean that we're imagining two different things. I've certainly seen it happen. The Watchtower is possible, though not easy, to assault, and doing so is unlikely to alert the Gatehouse. However, having a fog cloud roll in right at the time that the...

Forty feet from the level of the road, which passes fifty feet in front of the tower. Rushing it would be a bit of a climb, but not totally undoable. I've seen it happen. Team Ambush Infiltrate The group on the wagon, who appeared to be a little worse for wear, and cloaked (reasonable with the...

Here is a not terrible depiction of the tower, if you consider that the base looks more like the tower is squished into the black rock (as if the rock "flows" around the tower) and the road continues to the left. The foreground ought to be a bridge, as opposed to a low stone wall. Otherwise...

Six-Hours, Twenty-Nine minutes remaining as of Watchtower Bridge. (Added to my notes in your one-liner). Anyone else have a timed spell going?

@Lidgar - I have failed to mention, but should - there's quite a few fish in the lake - both river-trout that have become stuck by going down the side-stream, and some strange, mutant, sightless variety that prey on those. Mostly they all flee from a big frog, though! And they are relatively...

Bjorn The more Bjorn struggled, the more the vines squeezed and contracted, pulling him lower in the water. He understood how a creature (such as the dead humanoid) who needed to breathe would quickly become panicked, only to further entrap themselves as they thrashed, drowning. However, he...

No, you had no Long Rest. Any new Spell Slots you gain from leveling show up "unused", though. You had a Short Rest, so you can use Arcane Recovery, yes. You used Mage Armor, and did Silent Image (that was the barricade, right?) not cost you a spell slot? Sorry, I'm not following you - casts...

Team Lake Bjorn shot out his tongue, and the sword (and the gauntlet holding it) came free from the corpse. The corpse tipped forward, and its tattered leather backpack fell open, scattering coins that had been contained inside. They fell, catching the very furthest (and underwater) reflections...

The Watchtower ~15:40 on 4 Tarsakh 1483DR The wagon rolled up to an old stone bridge that crossed the river in front of a tall stone watchtower. From this close, more details could be seen: The strange black stones of Blackpeak seemed to wrap themselves around the base of the tower, as if the...

Team Lake Aywin reembarked with Loklafd and their kayak pushed off, leaving a torch behind. As they neared the waterfall, Loklafd said, "Lay back as we go forward: It will feel like you are standing." Aywin did, but as the kayak plunged nose-first into the lake, he stood a little too far up...

There's a strange modern concept of expertise that makes it seem like the choice is "All or Nothing". Either experts need to be heeded 100% of the time or soundly rejected. Both attitudes are obviously horse-hockey. The opinions of experts should be listened to and given weight, but you don't...

I believe that forward is the main idea - the designers give less thought to three dimensions than they do to movement on a grid. But yes, they did not limit its movement upward, so that is where it is at its most powerful. Edit: Oh! And @Steve Gorak, check the spots where I posted these...

The jump spell gives you no special ability relating to falls, but I would be inclined to say that anything under 20 feet would be fine. I tend to have that first d6 (10 feet) be something that you can avoid with easy checks, if you do it on purpose (IE jump down), so I can see the jump spell...

Team Ambush Corrah asked, "So no one wants to make the climb? Fair enough! I'll go as far as the Watchtower with you then, and then I'll go report to Imani." The wagon set off again, with an entirely new crew, while the bodies of its old crew lay in some underbrush between two levels of the...

Team Lake Loklafd took Aywin's torches from where they'd been stowed, wrapped in oilcloth, in the bow of the kayak, and he lit three of them. One he jammed between some rocks at the top of the waterfall. Another he threw down to near where Bill was (careful not to hit the weasel) where it...

@Steve Gorak. I hope you don't object, but I'm giving Svetlana a "sarcastic teenager" personality. I think that Fiends ought to always be somewhat unpleasant, even (especially?) when they're on "your side". She's bound to your service, but don't expect her to be happy about it!
