D&D 5E EB's Out of My Abysmal Mind - OOC (FULL)

[EarlyBird]

Thinking maybe [MENTION=6853819]TallIan[/MENTION] is having a little writers block for a nightmare. Not to worry I have some ideals for you to run with.

A nightmare about him losing his abilities, i.e. the crown of madness and eldritch sight. The warlock scared he will be a weak apprentice once more.

I dream of a million eyes in the dark, each on a more fearsome beast than the one before it. Until he is faced with an evil two headed monster that only its glowing eyes show up in the darkness of these strange lands.

The tentacles of some alien creature capturing the small halfling and holding him up as if for inspection. A disembodied voice argues with another unseen voice about using Finn as an outlet for their revenge. A third voice just wants to eat the halfling, it doesn't care about much of anything else.

Whatever you chose I hope to use the nightmares as character development as we play.

Going to write up the next morning post, but we need not play everyday/hour in the underdark. So let's get some SoP's together.

Here is the group.
Grudach
Kildrak
Finnan
Thia
Atallia
Ront
Denerdril
Stool
Buppido
Eldeth

Marching order and associated job(s)

Scouts:
Guides/Naviagators -
Survival checks to not become lost - (Kildrak has auto-ability to move quickly through area and not become lost)

Frontline:
Guards/Lookouts -
Perception checks to not be ambushed.

Mid:
Foragers/Helpers
Survival check to find 1d6+WIS modifier in food/water.
Helper: Give advantage to other guards/foragers as well.
Kildrak can find 6lbs of food/water automatically.

Backline:
Guards/Lookouts
Perception checks to not be snuck up on.

Please discuss who you want to do a job and give me five 1d20 rolls that I will use to move the game along a couple of days.

Start of Part 2:
Food Needed: 10 pounds per day
Water Needed: 10 gallons per day

Starting Food: 2lbs
Starting Water: 3 gallons

Note: Give me some jobs you want the NPCs to do, Stool may only be good as a Helper to anyone Foraging.

Well, Thia is useless in the day to day stuff (no survival, no perception, bad Wisdom). So I suppose she is morale officer. And if there is anything we need immediately, she can help with locate object. I suppose she's a foraging helper to give someone else advantage.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

That's what she relies on her ol' buddy Grudach for. No wonder she missed him when he was dead.

Deep Delver: (background) Kildrak has a knack for guiding people underground. He can recall the twists and turns of passageways and tunnels so that he can always retrace his steps underground. He can also find sufficient food and water for himself and up to five other people.

Obviously, Kildrak is primary Guide/Navigator and secondary Hunter/Gatherer due to autosuccess to some degree..

Does Deep Delver also auto supply some Water?

Survival Checks: 1D20+3 = [4]+3 = 7
1D20+3 = [3]+3 = 6
1D20+3 = [17]+3 = 20
1D20+3 = [5]+3 = 8
1D20+3 = [20]+3 = 23

 

[EarlyBird]

It does when you gather/forage you collect both food and water.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Ol' Grudach will...

Sneak forward ahead of the party with his nightvision goggles and no lights:

Stealth: [roll0]

And keep an eye out for trouble:

Perception: [roll1]

And look around for signs of tracks or other dangerous life:

Survival: [roll2]

And try to figure out what anything he finds actually IS:

Nature: [roll3]

And occasionally climb up some ledges to have a look around:

Athletics: [roll4]

...Maybe he'll take that Hairy-Elf Guy with him for some assistance (and to get to know him). (Whatever THAT does. Advantage or something?)

 

[EarlyBird]

Great Rolling.

And yes you may take an NPC along to gain Advantage on some of your rolls. Grudach going in the front first (since he just came from that area) leaves Kildrak time to forage gaining auto 6lbs of food and 6 gallons of water. A good start as that could be half rationed out to 12 people, and others can collect food&water for a rainy (not that it will rain underground) day.

 

[jmucchiello]

Thia is giving foragers who need help advantage.

 

[EarlyBird]

So far I have....

Grudach & Derendil - Guides/Looking out for trouble
Thia - Giving advantage to (I say Eldeth, groups choice though) forager
Kildrak foraging - not alone? good partner??

Just need the best two perceptions in the front/rear, and maybe someone with darkvision, everyone else can be in the center.
