And that's what I needed to know! I know we (Ungalu, Uthal, Galmath) have spent a fair bit of time together, and they would have absolutely talked about their tribes and such. So thank you for filling in that gap for me!

I will have a post up at some point today or tomorrow!

You are most welcome!

Eaggal has a 12 initiative so will wait...

[Nasrith]

@Demonslayer, with that initiative roll, I'm gonna ask you to hold off on making a combat roll quite yet... Things might change once the Frostfangs act.

[DemonSlayer]

No problem! I'll hold for now, just let me know when hammer time is .

[cappucina]

Been waiting to get splatted like a fly hit by a swat. Here it comes! Thankful the fireball maybe shook up the scenario because our initiative rolls we are just stuck right there in the middle. If dm rolls hot we are in so much trouble. Fun trouble.

[Nasrith]

Man I forgot how many rolls there were in high level combat. Working my way through the numbers and such today and then I'll have a post up for you all tomorrow morning.

[cappucina]

I think because of initiative rolls, I am going to wait to see what Eaggal does with all his options and try to riff off him. But, I did notice that players posted out of order. Do we normally just do that and you sort it out later?

Could I have cast Aid at level 3 for 10 temp hp and hp threshold up by 10 on us and Deathward on self this am? I think we talked about being prepped for adventures but we didn’t do the technical details. Also would then twilight sanctuary be on top of that if he popped it?

[Nasrith]

Deathward and Aid are both fine since you communicated that previously.

Twilight sanctuary can be popped, but you would have to spend your current action doing so.

I prefer to have players post in initiative chunks. Ungalu beat Frostfang initiative so his character acted first. Then the Frostfangs go. Uthal, Galmath, Ekaitza, and Eaggal are at the 'bottom' of the round while Ungalu is at the 'top' of the following one. Because all players are acting without any enemies in between, everyone is in an initiative chunk.

I won't resolve actions in initiative order unless players duplicate actions, and I need to figure out what happened first. I also don't expect players to post in initiative order within their chunk.

That being said, krossingkhory and Demonslayer jumped the gun a bit with their posts. My fault for not being clearer on how I wanted initiative to work.

[krossingkhory]

Not your fault, Nasrith. I missed in the spoiler where you said the number to beat is a 15.

13th Warrior is free on you tube right now and if you haven't seen it check it out, super epic norse hero vibes to inspire our super epic norse goliath heroes. This movie holds record as the movie that lost the most money ever, still number 1 if you factor inflation in over John Carter. It doesn't look expensive, and it is especiially a visual bother when it goes really dark it is actually too dark to see anything. The critics hated it. But, I totally enjoyed it even with its flaws.

Question: I have to blast them 10 feet away. I assumed that meant directly away, like straight back north for 6. I assumed that I could not blast goliath 6 east so i could position him in such a way as to hit both 5 and 6 (and not myself) with a lightening bolt at the same time. Let me know if you read that differently as in any direction away. I would have rather blasted 6 to east then hit 5 and 6 with the bolt, then repositioned around the other side of Eaggal but I did not think that worked as per 10 foot away rules. I also just changed the target from solo number 5 to hit both 3 and 4 because that really makes more sense. I figure I can lose this spell very quickly and why not make it count, especially as she is casting to impress Ungalu, Galmath, and Uthal. Put it where they can see it, shock and awe everyone.

[Nasrith]

Aiming for an update tomorrow.

re: @Everyone, when you're asking about actions, effects, and how abilities combine, can you please be as explicit as possible with names? Especially as questions get nuanced, I need to know what abilities you're using, what order you're using them in, and who they're affecting. It's extremely hard for me as a DM to give accurate, or even half-way reasonable answers without that information.

@Capp, can you provide the string of actions you're asking about and then rephrase the question?

[cappucina]

When I push them up to 10 feet back, I assume I cannot pick the direction. They just go away from token in direct opposite line. Is that also how u call it? The push is from Thunderbolt strike.

[Nasrith]

That I can answer!

You can't pick the direction with Thunderous Strike. They are pushed 10 ft back from the origin point of the ability. Thunderous Strike combined with your Wrath of the Storm reaction pushes Goliath 6 back 10 ft from you.

Thunderous Strike combined with your Call Lightning spell pushes Goliaths 3 and 4 back 10 ft from where the lightning struck, so they end up on M14 and M20, respectively.
