You guys should run if it goes bad - Kurt would stay behind to let you guys get away, even if he's out of rage.

Hang on, Valen has the alchemist's fire and tanglefoot bags.

Kurt, we're not leaving you to die.

I've got to go to class in a moment, sorry guys.

Yes and Miriam can cast obscurring mist and buy time with sanctuary if needed.

And we have two wizards who can help .....

Relax. No one wants to die today ... well may be Miriam but it is beyond the point .....

I am glad to be part of this group for that reason.

But Kurt will always sacrifice himself to avoid a TPK! He is not good at words, or leading - he speaks with his deeds.

Don't get me wrong. this is a tough fight but that is the way it should be.

DnD is a boring game when your character does face real risk .....

Miriam will not let a TPK happen either. She has tools at her disposition.

Yeah, but I don't want every fight to be one or two bad rolls away from a TPK.

So far, no fight has been close at all to a TPK. And you should expect that during any given fight, someone might go negative.

That is why it is called a fight.

Ahh, I doubt it would be a total party kill. I'm sure someone would escape.

Achinca is right, it isn't unheard of for people to get dropped negative, something that has only happened once to a party member, Kurt vs Dire Wolf. This is a tough fight, be glad that on my Leader + 3 Ogres +d6 Ogres came up a 1! I expected an ecounter we would be suicidal to attempt, youve' caught me off guard!

How does the -CON works?

Wait, what's that? So, say, if Natalia was knocked into negatives, she'd be dead at -14 because that's her con score?

Oh dear god. Yeah, if that had come up anything else, I would have just said, RUN AWAY. It should be obvious I'm still leaning in that direction; I'm not the gambling risk-taking type.

I'm more lenient about character death until they his - their constitution score. Usually maim them is some dramatic RP way if they are between -10 and - Constitution score.

Hey, Admiral, you're up! Shiny's too far away to do anything but shoot a crossbow bolt, right?

I just thought of something. If things go south, in addition to Miriam's Obscuring Mist, Shiny can use Ghost Sound to cover our escape.

If Admiral doesn't post soon, I'll assume he sleeps the first Ogre that he can which he can get in range for.

Or it would have made a good ambush! I doubt well need to flee, though this could get ugly.

Wait- was there an ogre within range of sleep? How far are they? (Sorry I'm behind- am doing a hundred things at once)

Anyway, he had his shot.

You were 115' away from the first Ogre you could have affected with Sleep, oh well, next time!

I posted my round 3 in case I cannot post over the weekend and the fight happens.

After that, she will heal or go mace happy.

Actuallly, she will sound burst trying to stun a ogre.

No because you can center the sound on a specific location.

Sorry about that! Go for it, and join your normal order after that. Luckily, your action won't change a thing! Since they didn't make it into combat.
