D&D 5E (2014) [IC] Uller's Out of the Abyss

[SunGold]

OOC: Surprising them means Blopp and the two guards she's flanked by all make their Faerie Fire save at disadvantage. I would argue that doubling our chances of 10 rounds attacking at advantage is worth far more than a single attack with a d4 weapon. Maybe you got away with it; we'll see. Just seems not at all worth the risk to me.

As long as actions aren't being spent perception is generally passive. If someone actively inspects you there will be a roll. Generally speaking.

OOC: Honestly, I am thinking more story than mechanics. Story-wise, Ezraen will not be beating anybody to death with his hands, and him already having A weapon frees up Erevan to arm you and himself quicker. I am not saying that you are wrong, I am just doing what makes more sense in Ezraen's mind. That being said, DM would it take an action to have Erevan toss me my shield and rapier, or would that be under the purview of 'interact with object'?

 

[SunGold]

OOC: Well, he doesn't need to beat anyone to death with his hands. He just needs to chill for a sec till Erevan tosses him a weapon, like the rest of us. We clearly aren't going to agree, so I'll leave it here. Just start praying to Lathander that her passive per ain't as high as her dad's.

OOC: Faith! ;D

 

[Uller]

OOC: Well...DMAesh did describe Ezraen as 'unwise' so for good or ill it's in character, I think. Besides...if she notices it doesn't necessarily ruin your ambush. We'll just have to see what transpires after I get home from work.

OOC: Well hey, I never said it was out of character. Just dumb...

 

[DMAesh]

OOC: I don't know, if I pull if off... still 4 extra damage on a possible crit. Might be a turning point. You don't know, and we are way beyond playing it safe. ^_^

OOC: First thing's first. Let's see if Orsik is able to untie himself... First the two rolls to see if the knot is slippable (DC 13) SoH [roll0] Adv [roll1] And then Orsik's check to see if he can slip the knot unnoticed... SoH vs passive perception [roll2] adv [roll3] Edit: Oh wow that was close. The guard very nearly noticed him as he slips the knot. Kuo-toa are REALLY good at noticing...
