[OOC] Lost Mine of Phandelver 8 player

[NontheistCleric]

At least it wasn't a natural 1...

[Phyzor]

Anyone scouting ahead (30 feet or more or moving into different rooms) will need to roll independently. Otherwise, yes, the bulk group can make a group Stealth check

Edit: I'm going to move ahead with Smelkie's initial rolls, but it won't be terribly deep into the cave

I wasnt planning on scouting ahead solo Luccan. Just put myself first in marching order

[Luccan]

Fair, but this is all literally close enough that just being the first to step in and with that high Perception, you would pick this all up anyway. But I'll count your successful Stealth with the group check. Not that I think it should be an issue

Edit: anyone who needs to declare their spot in the marching order, please do so. We'll assume it lasts for the dungeon, or even becomes standard marching order if you like, until you feel you need to change it up

[NontheistCleric]

Smelkie is first and Lentrax said Netish is in front, so assuming that puts Netish second, Yorrel will go third. Since she has one of the light sources, it's probably a good idea to have her near the front.

[Vorpal Glaive]

If the passage only allows single file, Myrus will walk after Yorrel.

[JNAProductions]

Lonnie is, as stated, last.

[Matt4]

I'll take the spot after Myrus then!

[Vorpal Glaive]

How wide is this passageway? Closer to five or ten feet?

[Luccan]

The tunnel is about 10 feet wide, at least where you are, but a little more than 5 feet is taken up by the creek. It's shallow enough you could wade through it if you wanted

So we're on a dungeon passageway with a creek flowing beside us. Ok. That flowing water would be loud enough to cover our movement, right?

It's loud enough to cover some sounds. You don't know exactly how much

[Infernally Clay]

Rawr. Metal collars are nothing to buff mountain lady.

Quite impressive. It did more than meet the DC, so the wolves go free.

I realize I may have not been clear, so just so everyone knows, you're in a side cavern. The chimney can be scaled, so I'll proceed with that in the morning, but the initial tunnel still continues outside this room. The climb isn't the only way forward, if you decide you don't like it after checking it out

[Phyzor]

Been a busy weekend for me, hence the late post. Smelkie would have been up front on the climb if possible, scounting for traps on the way up.

Go ahead and give me an Athletics roll to scale the thing. There aren't really any stairs, just places to brace yourself on the climb

[Phyzor]

Ah misread that, thought there was a ladder of some kind to climb up. Can i take acrobatics instead, but ninja jumping up the wall.

[JNAProductions]

Not sure where Lonnie should go for the moment. Anyone got ideas?

[Infernally Clay]

Lonnie should probably go with Myrus. We don't know the layout of these caves but if you guys end up flanking the bugbear and his lackeys that would be a huge boon.

[Vorpal Glaive]

Just realized I can't do Shield of Faith and Resistance at the same time as they're both Concentration-based. Myrus will maintain the shield on Netish and use Sacred Flame instead.

[Lentrax]

Hopefully the Thaumaturgy and Netish’s appearance beside Sigrun is enough to count as Help.

[Vorpal Glaive]

We need to remember Netish is GLOWING with divine energy. Has to count for something, right?

[Infernally Clay]

Hopefully the Thaumaturgy and Netish’s appearance beside Sigrun is enough to count as Help.

It's pretty metal. I like it a lot.

[Luccan]

Hopefully the Thaumaturgy and Netish’s appearance beside Sigrun is enough to count as Help.

They will, I'll apply the Advantage as a flat +5 (for a 22, which is good).

@Vorpal, I don't think Sacred Flame works like that (it normally requires a target you can see). I will need a Religion check to manipulate the holy smiting magic of your war god to a non-battle purpose.

@Phyzor, yes on that use of Acrobatics, but given the light level and terrain, the DC will be higher

[Infernally Clay]

Something tells me I might need that Inspiration die in a moment or two. :P

[Phyzor]

Ill happily take that higher DC, thank you. Im just a frail halfling with negative STR
acro - (1d20+7)[22]

[Infernally Clay]

Phew that Inspiration die did indeed come in handy. I've never really tried this sort of thing with a character whose charisma modifier is +0.

D:

[Phyzor]

With everyone distracted would i be able to sneakily tie a rope and bring it down for the others to climb up ?

[Luccan]

Smelkie should be able to sneak a rope down to the party. Also, good call on the Bardic Inspiration use.


Heads up, I probably won't be available for the next couple of days as it is a holiday here. I'll try to get at least one more post up on the IC during this time, so go ahead and post any actions you'd like resolved before I do that

[Phyzor]

Good to know, thanks for the heads up and happy holidays :)

[Vorpal Glaive]

Happy Turkey Day USAers and all hail Tempus!
