I run an AL-style (but not official AL) game for high school students. Attendance is spotty, although mostly due to commitments I see as important. I’ve kept everyone within one level of each other, and we’ve used XP. But I’m not entirely happy with XP in this setting. When the season 8 AL rules...

I'm one of the "why play a human when I can be something else" crowd. Sometimes the particular race I choose is due to mechanics, sometimes because something appeals to be about the race and the character I have in mind. I'm currently playing an aasimar in season 9 of AL (Descent into...

Surina sees the lizardfolk arriving. Setting, the child she was carrying down, she offers a quick prayer to the Family: asking Paleintar to speed the feet of the fleeing villagers, to Torayana to slow the current to bedevil the lizardfolk, and to Essembri to strengthen her as she sought...

Just a quick note to say I saw IC post. I’ll be traveling for another few hours, making handling rolls, etc. Difficult. Will post in IC thread when I’m home later today.

Surina joined Swithun in helping the stragglers; she scooped up one of the slowest moving children, and offered and arm to a struggling adult. Surina, strength check: 1D20+3 = [9]+3 = 12

2 HP to brother Pelegon from Lay on Hands, as requested. I recounted, and Surina is at 6 HP, not 11. She will also drink a potion Healing potion: 2D4+2 = [2, 2]+2 = 6 . So now at: AC 18; HP 12/28; Spells 3/3; LoH: 13/15; CD 1/1

if it won't delay getting the former captives out of danger, Surina will use a healing potion. But she wont prioritize her own health over saving the villagers. Once the bridge is across the water, Surina wades in, holds it stead, and starts encouraging the villagers to go across. The cold...

Surina heard Swithun explain his plan. "Good thinking." She checked quickly on Drake and Brother Pelegon and then began making her way among the former prisoners, calming the most panicked, encouraging them to gather in an orderly fashion. She spoke calmly and warmly to them. persuasion...

Yep. And there’s enough material there (especially when using DMsGuild to expand) that isn’t tied directly to the initial main plot-hook to run without that—although you might need to set up some other “really bad thing” being caused by stuff in the final dungeon, if you want to use that part...

It looks like she could get to DD20--without the dash--assuming she can get through the crowd. I feel bad about leaving Everett to cope with two lizardfolk, but I can't see Surina abandoning two downed/almost downed party members and all those villagers. If she doesn't need the dash to get out...

Surina blinks briefly. Somehow in the midst of battle she had not seen Drake go down, even as he stood next to her. She pelts after Swithun, toward the camp, also encouraging the villagers to return to the compound, and making sure that Brother Pelegon is up and running. surina will dash as...

More family stuff through Sunday; not sure how quicklyI’ll be able to respond.

Trying not to look at her own bleeding wounds, Surina takes a deep breath, offers up a prayer, and attacks again with her longsword. It is a glancing blow, but bright light sears the lizardfolk as the sword strike. Calling out to Swithun she say "You are faster than I: help them with their...

Sorry. Was helping my parents move, which took more time and energy than I expected.

Surina took a swing at the lizardfolk in front of her, but the pain and the blood loss from the wounds she had taken interfered with her swing. Perception: Perception: 1D20 = [9] = 9 Attack: Surina attack with longsword-1 handed: 1D20+5 = [4]+5 = 9 1D8+3 = [3]+3 = 6

I forgot to add that Surina also calls out "What's that sound?"

Surina gritted her teeth at another painful hit, gripping her shield and sword harder. She lunges at the one who hit her, striking true, if not deep. . Perception check: Surina, Perception: 1D20 = [16] = 16 Attack: Surina, Longsword attack (one handed): 1D20+5 = [12]+5 = 17 1D8+3 =...

Surina grunts as the crossbow bolt hits true. She swings her sword at one of her attackers. Surina attack with longsword-1 handed: 1D20+5 = [8]+5 = 13 1D8+3 = [1]+3 = 4 AC: 18; HP: 20/28; spells 3/3 LH 15/15 CD 2/2

Surina Runs forward, muttering a brief prayer to Essembri. She takes a deep breath and blows out a cone of frosty air at two of the lizardmen. OOC: I don’t need grid letters/numbers, but by my count, if Surina moves one square to her left and then forward until she reaches the upper right...
