That's so funny, I saw the same meme and thought the same thing. Not a dig at Mina's performance itself, obviously.

"Red Death? Ain't that what folks are gettin' in the undercity?" Ruins a thousand years old lie deep below the surface. There is nothing here but death... Shen rubs her head. It's feeling a little better, not that it's much comfort. It's one thing after another with this place. Breakfast was...

We identified it after fighting the first batch of goblins. Attunement required (meaning spend an hour with it; should probably already assume it's attuned). Command word (which you would know, since we identified it) makes it shine like a candle. A different command word causes wielder 1d6...

First: I'm fine with Shen checking on the ill, I have this awful foreboding feeling now about it. (And seem to recall the bard's tail describing something underneath the city, which seems to be the origin of the red death.) Feel free to narrate Shen's response or just assume she goes with you. I...

Ok, I'm feeling better. Suddenly I'm a lot more concerned about this disease, though. If it won't be too cumbersome narratively I think Shen and someone else (with more of a brain in their head) could have the goblin bits and Daedarai's poison vial checked out, and grill Tro'leera about his...

Shen feels slammed back into her seat, as if waking up from a bad dream. She jumps in place, her knee whacks against the table, all the dishes jump, and her glass falls over. Everything's eerily quiet compared to before. She can only hear the echoes like a murmur through a wall, all the images...

ಠ_ಠ It was nice knowing you.

It's a good thing Shen came back for breakfast. This is much better than hiding in some bar, and she feels out of her funk already. Though she has a hard time keeping up with the conversation, as the ubiquitous breathing fills every silent moment and keeps distracting her. When Mina comes in...

Add to that, Mina preparing the party to be all fancy. Though I don't remember if there was a specific reason we needed that training, or if it was just general precaution. Speaking of that, I have a vague recollection that something was happening at the end of the week, and we were only...

Your estimate on the wand seems good to me. It's a once-per-rest thing, assuming the user wants to take that damage every time, so I would put it in the same league of usefulness as a cantrip-casting armor or weapon. Are your gold estimates what we get from this haul, or running total of all...

DM, about how far out was the spot where we found Tro'leera? A mile? Less?

My favorite part of Champion is Remarkable Athlete. Good encouragement to be really dramatic in how you handle obstacles, and a good chance for it to actually work.

With a gasp, Shen's eyes shoot open, her entire body jolting like a slammed door. Alive? She's alive. But where the hell is this? She sits up, eyes wheeling across the room. It is a room. Her chest hurts, either from forgetting to breathe or breathing too hard, she's not sure which. Someone...

I will get on that, as I'm now smiling with antici pation waiting for the everyone else to reveal where they're going, so it's only fair. Also, I just remembered. Arcane tricksters have no "arcane focus" feature. They don't know how to use wands. Just component pouches. Go figure. Same for the...

For what it's worth, planting a familiar next to enemies is a fast way to lose it, and even an owl isn't immune to enemies readying attacks. I'd consider it potent but not game-breaking. Since the familiar can't attack, there's virtually no reason other than the Help action that it would need a...

As I see it, Shield lets you stop something from happening, while Find Familiar lets you do a bunch of stuff that you couldn't before. I'd go with the latter, myself. What did you find "hotly debated?" I don't see any reason why the familiar couldn't Help with things.

Finally remembered to check out Hero Forge, and it is indeed a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing that.

It almost surprises Shen herself that she's still standing. Shaky as they are, somehow her legs stay locked upright and moving. Keeping in motion isn't hard, but she knows if she stops, she'll probably melt into a puddle and never move again; kind of like her insides are doing now in the sand...

I'd be very surprised if they did. They're kind of bath-salts crazy, though reference was made to them maybe getting bored of fighting and starting to just eat each other instead. So, new plan: leave lots of goblin bodies behind.
