Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar (Full)

[larryfinnjr]

Any thoughts on what we're seeing in the portal? Is this a Land of the Lost thing? Can we step through it? Do we need to interfere with the barrel-toting shorties we're seeing? Velani would certainly be upset by a (?) clear and present danger to Fallcrest if that's in fact what we're seeing (which is likely what SHE is seeing). She just may try to stab one of the boatmen through the looking glass on her turn....

And I love how Freggo is run. He's darling! And I love Spizz too (though Velani would rather squash him).

I have no idea what we're seeing through the portal, but I love the fact that something is happening there as a battle is taking place. I always try to think of interesting plot developments to take place mid-battle when I DM, but rarely execute as well as I'd like. Kudos to the DM! Even if it just turns out to be some halflings bringing beer to market, it just makes me want to get out some popcorn and sit down next to Spizz to watch!

I'm thinking some Perception and/or Nature checks might help us identify who we're looking at and what they're doing. What sort of action would it require to do that? Would a minor cut it?

Ah! We're here- yes indeed you can use any action to attempt to spot what's going on, or identify, or whatever it is you want to discover in the picture- on any skill you wish to use (or can make work within the context). Passive perception/insight are freebies- but you have to ask for them, and tell me what your scores are...

Cheers Goonalan

Two things: first, Gorm is unaffected by burst and blast attacks, so unless Spectral Barrage is a series of individual melee or ranged attacks (which is not how you rolled them), he would not be a target.

Second, he's not on the battlefield in any case, since I dismissed him with my second Spirit Infusion and didn't have an action to resummon him.

Good call- and right on both counts, will fix- you'll get your 5 HP back of course. But now I must sleep 3.11 AM.

Well that did not go like I planned *at all*. Sorry guys. I also have no
idea how to turn it off.

Spizz...

On the other hand, we might want to see if we can physically go through the portal--looks like bad news on the other side that we might want to interfere with.

Goonalan, looks to me like we're waiting for the results of Velani and Kyalia's turns, and possible actions on the Gray Ooze's initiative.

Done... sorry the Grey Ooze has fled, no need to keep tracking it...

Yeah. When I told my wife that Spizz had died we shared a moment of sadness. :'(

Not your fault of course RavenBlackthorne! You had the right idea.

LOLing- lovely.

Just to say (again), still enjoying this immensely- thanks for making such a great game.

Oh and call for second level PCs- Velani's put hers up in the Rogue's Gallery... you wont have enough XP after this encounter but I suggest one more and you'll have enough- then depending on your Extended Rest.

It'd be nice if I could take a look at your CBs (or other) before it's time for them to be in play...
