    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Yes it does. It's not so much that you could see the Lizardfolk, as you could see their eyes pick up the light of the sword and reflect it back. There's more of them slightly "off the map" plus more cavern.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Terrin found that the black, porous rock had many handholds and though the cliff was steep, it sloped gradually inward. All of this would have made for any easy climb, if it were not for that his gear was heavy with water, he could barely see in the light of the Drow's magic, which caused...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    @Snarf Zagyg & @Kobold Stew both of you appear to be targeting the Houndsman with Shut-Down spells. 1) Do one of you want to edit your target or 2) Do you want to both go for it, both because "accidents happen" AND because you'll have twice the likelihood of success? Edit: While I'm at it, I'll...

    D&D General Why do good monsters exist, from a game design standpoint?

    To Answer the Thread Title: 1) Because Good PCs need someone to fight alongside. 2) Because Evil PCs need someone to fight against. Aside from all the other monsters. 3) Mistakes happen. (I mean when choosing who to fight, not from a design standpoint, though that happens too, but this isn't...

    It's movement, but seeing as everything (swimming in the water, climbing the cliffs) costs 2 feet of movement for every 1 foot you move, you'll probably have to dash if you want to get anywhere (it's 20 feet up the cliff). I think that might put you at the top if you dash and make both checks.

    D&D 5E (2024) Teos talks about using the hero’s of the Borderlands Starter Box to run games.

    You guys just got me to sign up for a whole lotta patreons (at the free tier, mind, but only because I want to see how much I actually read them before I spend money).

    @Hriston - it occurs to me that if you can make it 'Swimming' to S32, you can have Advantage on 'Climbing the Cliff' with Copper holding the rope for you.

    Behind the Screen - So, my wife has been rolling (and sometimes making decisions) for much of the Bad Guys. This allows me to "get away" with posting turns on occasions when I am otherwise spending time with her! (After 23 years of marriage, she's only gotten into playing D&D in the past year...

    @Hriston have a look at 'Hazards' in the Map notes on the "Round Roller". If you have any questions, let me know.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Infiltrate Terrin, having missed his footing when landing on the higher ledge, slid down the rocky ledge, scraping his hands and nose, before landing in a shallow flow of water between the two cliffs. His feet touched a gravel bottom, before he was pushed northward by the weight of water...

    They're scarier that way - otherwise they're just another animal with teeth.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Borderlands - First Impressions

    There's no reason to get annoyed at people who don't take things as 110% as literally as you are here. Some of us have been spotting propaganda subtext for as long as we've been reading, is all. Gygax wrote with a lot of that sort of thing, as did his inspirations. I don't think anyone is...

    Oh Yeah. I don't think that I have ever remembered a Concentration Save for Guidance. So rarely comes up. Good eye!

    Right! Q: "Why are you here?" A:"To make friends and hug fluffy bunnies." Or A:"To murder innocents to fill the gaping hole in my soul which can never be filled." And everything in-between or sideways of those.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    It's not easy to tell, because it is only a top-down map, but the narrow between the two points is 15 feet above the water on Copper & Stryke's side, and 10-12 feet up on Lorent's side. Terrin quickly will wash through to U30, which is even lower relative to the ridges (the north lake is lower...

    Korea. He could have been 18, I suppose, but probably older. I think his birthday would likely fall in the late 1920s.

    I still do not know when it is, where it is, or how to join, assuming I have time. I even opened up discord, which I haven't done in years, and searched for it, and still came up with nothing.
