D&D 5E (2014) Sample adventure to test 5E in high level (15th) play. Any takers?

[Flamestrike]

We need the rogue to find him - with blindsight - will at least counter the invisibility.

Presuming he's invisible.

 

[Mort]

Presuming he's invisible.

I just meant if he's hiding we can find him. If He's hiding AND invisible it's harder. We have something to deal with the invisibility and just have to contend with the hiding.

 

[Flamestrike]

Azar the Gish's turn.

He casts Dispel Magic, targeting the 'magical effect' (Telekinesis) that he saw you cast on his dead first mate.

I had to Google this, to see if your staff could absorb it, but as he is not targeting you, and is instead targeting the spell (the spell is its own discreet 'magical effect' as per PHB 201), you cant absorb it.

He uses his 5th level slot (because other than 1sts and 2nds, that's all he has left) and your TK effect ends.

On a positive note, as Dispel Magic also has Verbal components, he does reveal himself after casting it (he was hiding in his room on his ship, and peeking out the window).

After casting it, he then ducks back out of sight (but not hidden) to obtain total cover from the Archer than shot him to pieces last time.

I just meant if he's hiding we can find him. If He's hiding AND invisible it's harder. We have something to deal with the invisibility and just have to contend with the hiding.

Invisibility doesn't make it any harder to find him, the DC is the same. The spell just lets him hide in circumstances where he couldnt (he always has heavy obscurement) and it gives him the advantage of the condition as well.

 

[Mort]

After casting it, he then ducks back out of sight (but not hidden).

So we know where he is, but he has full cover, yes?

 

[Flamestrike]

So we know where he is, but he has full cover, yes?

Yes. Front cabin (raised portion of their ship), under where the illusion was, looking out through the window there (or he was).

 

[Flamestrike]

I'll just pause for a second here while I see if anyone has any reactions or things they want to do at this point before moving on.

 

[Mort]

Bartholomew is not doing any bonus or reactions.

Since he didn't attack, my readied action doesn't go off.

 

[Flamestrike]

Since he didn't attack, my readied action doesn't go off.

Actually...

Effectively your PC is scanning the battlefield from a hiding spot; you see him just after he casts his spell, and before he ducks down for an instant.

I'm happy to rule that casting a spell is = to 'an attack' (i.e I'll use an English definition of the word, and not the game interpretation), and i'll allow you to snap off a shot (at advantage from hiding) before he ducks down.

Make me an attack roll. He does have 3/4 cover from the window he's peering over though.

 

[Flamestrike]

Attack rolls are 19 and 10. Expecting to have disadvantage, so that's a 20.

Its actually advantage, so its' a 29, which hits.

And you hit him and not his remaining image.

Unfortunately, he does have an AC of 20, 3/4 cover from the window at +5, and at the last moment he casts shield stopping the arrow inches from his eye.

Unless someone wants to counter the shield spell, you miss on a 29!
