D&D 5E (OOC) Vault of the Dracolich 5E (Full)

LOL Bob showed up late to the briefing and didn't get any of that.

Squirrels are evil!

 

[Ancalagon]

well... many of us can't use them... although I'm a bit vague on 5e scroll usage rules to be honest.

I hope we aren't heading for a TPK :/

I mean Udit is fine with leaving with most people dead - that's how it usually goes anyway. But the *player* would like to see it through

The adventure was written for the playtest, and says that "Read Magic" was cast on them so that anyone can use them. Read Magic is not a thing in 5e, and RAW anyone can use them "if it's on your spell-list". These ones can be read by anyone, like the adventure says.

Lorenn can try to identify the idol if the Dispensable have the scroll (and if we survive).

 

[Prickly Pear]

You need to have the spell in your spell list in order to use it. And if the scroll is of higher level than you can cast it, you need to do an arcana check (DC 10+scroll level).
So, Sesto can't use it (and he is dying!).

I suggest that Terrus runs out of the southern room and shut the door behind himself. Maybe get help to barricade it.
Bob, should have turned and left the eastern room instead of charging in and playing with the wolfs. There is still a chance he can disengage and leave the room and then Pyrus can close the door magically again (hopefully). I think Sesto is on the inside of the door so it should be ok to close it.
But, hey, Sesto is taking a nap so he can't tell the group what to do. As if anyone would listen...
Still, let's see if we can avoid a TPK.

I must say that I (as a player) never thought the idols could do anything else but be used together to open the vault. I learn something new every day. Also, I need to pay more attention to details... I totally missed that the group received the Identify scrolls.

But here we go... Let's survive this!!!

I know it's a bit (lot) tricky but can a familliar administrates a healing potion to a dying person?

If we kill the cultist, they may not be able to open the door again.

 

[Prickly Pear]

Familiar can deliver touch spells. Most healing spells are touch spells.

Yup, I don't have those spells in stock my friend. But I do have potions

 

[Prickly Pear]

Ah, yes... *reading the post again*
No, your familiar can't administer a potion unless you have a monkey as a familiar. A bat couldn't possible do it. But try, [MENTION=59816]FitzTheRuke[/MENTION] may allow it, who knows?

This .

It's not just a bat, it is an Extraplanar Clestial Spirit gifted with telepathic powers who can deliver powerful magical spells!
[..]a spirit that takes an animal form [..] though it is a celestial [..] who [..]always obeys your commands [..] and [..] you can communicate with it telepathically [..] to [..]deliver the spell[..].

Here, look what she is capable of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ7KnFHVwTE
If she can accomplish this kind of prowess, everyone must be absolutely convinced she can deliver a common potion.
Q.E.D.
