[OOC] A Trip to Remember (OOC)

[Mindsiege]

@Togot:
For now Aurora would have advantage on attacking her opponent because of Baka's Faerie Fire spell. If you want to you may switch Nephala's help action to be directed at another foe.

[Togot]

Thanks, Who wouldn't have advantage at the moment?

You could help the next attack against one of the Scarlet Legionnaires next to Oguun, against the monk caster with Geghard or the adventurer on the roof. If you choose the adventurer, the Help action would count for a different attack than Derek's failed Chill Touch.

[Togot]

I'll help against the scarlet legionair

Geghard is the hardest total hitter but one of the worst finishers, so I'll wait a bit to see if someone kills the acolyte.

As a brief note, the only people left to act besides Geghard are Baka, Rolen and Earlamar. Rolen will have to move north 5' to have a LoS, but even then the acolyte has half-cover from the alleyway while he stands behind Almavalesh and Mayuri like he is now. Also I assume that Baka or Earlamar wouldn't receive Geghard's intent to finish his target while they fight the other memories at least that's the flow so farif he doesn't tell them and Rolen is about as good as Geghard at closing the kill.

Mm. Thanks. At a minimum, Geg may be able to break the bless. Posting now.

Critted the save! Acolyte down; deciding the rest now.

Um...somehow missed that I crit missed the actual attack. Then missed the second attack too.

[Mindsiege]

It seems that at the current speed this combat will take at least a few more turns. So to keep things moving I'll be aiming to make my next GM update by the end of tomorrow or earlier.

Posting now folks! The Dark Star, I just wanted to let you know that if you were attacking the Dark Rider, you should have done so at advantage due to Baka's Faerie Fire

No worries, I'll add the advantaged rolls as part of my GM post.

[Mindsiege]

@team:
Can someone NPC Earlamar today? I figure that his natural response would have been to keep helping finish Aurora's target, but I think CoffeeRogue has been absent from the forum for a few days so the decision would fall to who makes his turn for him.

[BarrowB]

It's good that Rolen can see us in the room.

It would be really troublesome, if it turned out that we were sleepwalking all this time.

Yeah, the dress stitching itself back together is the main reason I picked "Mending" as my cantrip.

Mechanically there is no "bleeding" effect, so it's not a problem.

Though, if someone will try to use the healer's kit on her, they would have to get creative.

[Mindsiege]

@BarrowB:
I think there are instances of bleeding effects being represented through some mechanics. But for our narration, it doesn't have to matter.

Good job dispatching the soldier, he really had it coming! However, as Aurora storms at the rider and tries to cut the rider's leg, the man reacts surprisingly well to the additional attacker and parries her blow. Mechanically he used his reaction to increase his AC by 2 against the single attack. He remains unharmed aside from the previous Thorn Whip.

Next time I'll do that as my adventure and then get all the players to throw their dice at me for making their characters wanted criminals inside Westhaven.
The worst thing, if Almavalesh is a more nefarious character than everybody assumed, this alternate version of the narrative could have actually been fairly realistic.

Well, we'll see how well this story works out even without the sleepwalking. At least Aurora seems like she might become slightly influenced by the experience.
