+1 on the priority to work. I think the four of us are rumbling along.

Shayuri here is what (hopefully) Niraya rescued from the Arena. Still mulling over 2nd feat (1st is Polearm Master) and Magic Item torn between Cloak of Elvinkind (adv Stealth) and Stone of Good Luck (+1 ability and saving throws). A little tidbit about Kesh. One of his favorite tricks for...

Ara High Elf Wizard Ara is going to interpret the faint outline as a 10x10 square - probable trap - and not an invisible individual. Ignore me if my assumption is incorrect. BTW, this is where I am really missing Creamsteak's rogue. Ara investigating the 10x10 outline in front of the door...

Pulling the marching order discussion into the OOC thread. It looks like Dhamion never made it to Oakhurst and we lost Roy on the road out of town. This means we lost two fighters (heavily armed and armored) and went from six to four characters. If we decide that the party needs a scout...

BTW, I hope that a good healer washes up on the store. Keth's normal fighting styles involves taking - and giving - a lot of damage.

FitzTheRuke, just remember that rule #1 of being a good officer is never give an order you know will be disobeyed, which covers a lot of ground with Keth. With Keth, I suggest that you stick with commands like "Kill" or perhaps the more specific "Kill All".:]

shayuni and FitzTheRuke Here is some background on Keth, if the three of us are in the game, we can sort out the details of the backstory. Fair warning, I am going to play the feels emotions more deeply aspect of Half-Orc and who ever is Keth's friend may need to talk him back down on occasion...

Charwoman Gene, I am working on an article about the Find Familiar spell - Google doc here. Let me know if there are any uses that you would like to limit and or disable for this game. Since Ara is running the 'drone' version of familiars. I am likely to try out any permissible uses of the...

Kobold Stew. To bring our conversation on Find Familiar into the OOC thread. Ara is going to run the familiar significantly differently than my other Wizard. Alvyn, the Forest Gnome, treats his familiar like a Gnomish pet. In contrast, you will be seeing Ara use the familiar mechanically -...

Ara High Elf Wizard 1 As the party forms up into a marching order and moves down into the cavern, Ara takes position at the rear of the party, with a bow in hand. The situation is both familiar and strange to Ara. Familiar in being a part of a small party sneaking and strange in that it is a...

Ara High Elf Wizard 1 Ara speaks up, “Hold a minute, Kuhl. This is no place to go scouting ahead.” He continues ”Even Tordak's and my vision down here puts us at a disadvantage without some source of light. We need torches or a light spell, and scouting with a torch is asking to be...

I am interested in this. I have a Barbarian character kicking around in the back of my mind - former pit fighter turned bodyguard. Non-human captured young and sent to fight in the pits. Rescued and becomes the bodyguard/confidant of his rescuer. Let me look at VGtM to see what looks like an...

Ara, High Elf Wizard 1 After looking at the rope and the ravine side, Ara is comfortable that no one will need his assistance. Ara watches the first member of the party begin to descend. Turning away from the ledge, Ara calls Who back and the two of them scan the surrounding area., When the...

kobold_Stew, Thanks, some good feedback and points. Most, I will fold into the document - updates once I figure out how to get the text from google doc into ENWorld without hosing up the text color. I like your point on "it's not actually getting a pet". The rules are vague here and IMO it...

Thanks for the catch on the color of my posting. It looks like some tags came over from Google Docs. Would you point me to some information on the Text Editor? I did not see anyway to change the text color in the editor. Also, I did not see the COLOR and FONT tags in my original text...

I would like to start a conversation about the effective use of the Find Familiar spell. Let me know what you think, and I will incorporate the feedback into an updated document. Note About the Author I am new to 5e and coming back to Role Playing after a long absence. Much of the commentary...

Thanks for the feedback on the post. I am, new to PbP and quite taken with the format. Please feel free to chime with pointers or corrections. On the pacing, it can be hard to determine what is merely descriptive (e.g., climb down the rope) and what is a prelude to an ambush - e.g. you slide...

Edward asked me a direct question, but my understanding is to let others post before responding with a second post. I will respond as I think it forwards the action, but please let me know if I should have waited.

Ara, High Elf Wizard 1 Ara answers Edward "A ledge with bones. Bones means creatures and a rope means intelligent creatures." after a pause "Unless the rope was left by the last party." In a lower but audible tone of voice Ara mutters "Roped decent to ledge/cave. This is where my tactics...

Ara, High Elf Wizard 1 "I appreciate your enthusiasm Kuhl. If you are willing to wait a minute, I can have my familiar take a look at what is on the other end of the rope." Ara states. Ara mumbles a few words and waves his hand. Who, Ara's Owl familiar, appears in the sky. Who gazes around...
