[OOC] Lost Mine of Phandelver 8 player

[Infernally Clay]

Oh no the dice failed me! D':

Guess it's time for punching.

[NontheistCleric]

Is climbing up the rope still half speed, as normal?

[Luccan]

Indeed it will

[NontheistCleric]

Okay, if we're deciding on climbing order, what does everyone think of Myrus first, then Lonnie, then Maria, then Yorrel, then Della? That puts the toughest caster and healer in front, Maria safely in the middle, and a powerful warrior bringing up the rear.

[Matt4]

Hmm...I'd prefer to go second, this way we get the healer first, then Della which is the fastest member and can multi-attack to thin out the goblins while the others climb, then the rest of the order seems ok..

[NontheistCleric]

Okay, so it's Myrus, then Della, then Lonnie, then Maria, then Yorrel. That seems fine. I suppose it matters less if something comes in to attack us from behind, since we'll be going up the chimney in a few rounds anyway.

Sounds good! Not much to say IC at the moment, so I'll just follow this plan. :)

[Vorpal Glaive]

Climbing sucks!

(1d20+5)[17]

[Matt4]

To climb is either Athletics or Acrobatics right? Not sure if we get advantage with the rope?

Anyway, here's my Acrobatics roll: (1d20+6)[8]

[Matt4]

Climbing sucks!

It really does! :P

[NontheistCleric]

Athletics if needed: (1d20)[17]

[JNAProductions]

Is a check needed now that we have a rope?

If so, (1d20)[1], -1 for Dex or -2 for Str.

Edit: I'm scared.

[Luccan]

No worries on the Athletics checks. I'm ruling you all have enough help at this point that I'm not even requiring the check to climb. Between the relatively low initial DC, a rope to hold instead of free climbing, and Myrus beating the DC (so he can help the rest of you up), it's really more of a timing issue than a skill check issue. Not all of you will be up the rope before combat starts, but you will all be able to make it up and participate

[Infernally Clay]

I'm sure Sigrún, Netish and Smelkie won't kill them all before you guys get up there. :P

Whew. That's a relief.

[Matt4]

I feel like a drunken carrot would be very graceful!

[Luccan]

You all hear the shout, but only the first half of the climbers will have made it to the top at the start of this round

Much appreciated!

[NontheistCleric]

Lonnie and Yorrel are the second half, so does that mean they will arrive at the start of the second round?

You can make it up this round if you Dash or in some other way can make the 30 foot climb. If Yorrel and Lonnie want to buff people they can, everyone but Smelkie, Netish, and Sigrún are kinda huddled near the top of the chimney, at least for now. But yeah, otherwise you'll get up top next round

[Phyzor]

advantage - (1d20+7)[22]
sneak attack - (1d6)[2]

[Vorpal Glaive]

Myrus would be helping the climbers up. Then he'll rush the bugbear attacking with his warhammer twice (bonus action).

(1d20+5)[17]
(1d20+5)[12]

(1d8+3)[10]
(1d8+3)[6]

[Phyzor]

woooo, that was a sweet shot. Sorry about your wolfie Luccan

Can I try to hide again after my shot?

[Luccan]

All good. And no, unfortunately, Hide is an action (well, you can use it as a bonus action as a Rogue, but only once you get the Cunning Action ability at level 2)

[Phyzor]

Fair enough

[Vorpal Glaive]

So is the terrain more earth or rock? How will martials relate to the scene? Do we have our footing? Is it wet or dry? Just class-related stuff.

Rock. It's not particularly damp in this room, although with the creek the whole cave system is humid and it was wet in the tunnel and the wolf cavern

[Phyzor]

Are we waiting on Della, I am fine with the bugbear responding and go from there on

[Matt4]

Sorry guys, had a couple of intense days at work. I'll catch up right away
