[OOC] A Trip to Remember (OOC)

[Togot]

looking forward to it

[CoffeeRogue]

I hope I made it in time. Struggled to capture a moment that defined Earlamar. I didn't have the character sketched out per say but this helped. Thank you for making me do this DM lol

[Mindsiege]

I realized retroactively that this was a pretty big ask for those that started their characters without a clear picture in mind. But after seeing how things turned out, I'm very happy with the results! Big compliments to everybody in the group.

Almavalesh has to invite someone to enter his dream, right?
Does it mean that Aurora will become 'sane' for a bit?
The wizard probably didn't allow random ghosts in.

If her condition is something like a ghost possession and the entity exists separately from Aurora, then yes, she'd regain her sanity during her visit inside the dream. What an interesting first adventure for Aurora to experience!

For the sake of keeping it interesting though, I will say that Godbert (or what else the entity is called) has been able to make the charisma save and Almavalesh hasn't learned its true name.

@The Dark Star:
Just a brief note from the GM, Minor Illusion has an iffy limitation where the illusionary images that it can create aren't only just 5ft big, but also they can only be still pictures. If you want to, you can keep your last post as you have because that was just a bit of fun, but as soon as things get serious that's what we'll be going forward with. To create moving pictures you would at least require the 1st level spell Silent Image. Fortunately Minor Illusion is much more flexible when it comes to sounds. The designers of DnD intentionally kept the cantrip illusion fairly limited to make impactfull applications of illusions more limited by requiring actual spell slots. However, I think even then Minor Illusion is a very useful tool to have and I love running it on my own characters.

@edit:
Also, I've seen that you noted Mage Armor as an active condition in your post. As soon as we are in the dreamscape that spell will not be active and you'll have to recast it. So for now you are fine to have both of your spell slots open.

[The Dark Star]

Ok sounds good! Let's say for the movement he made like a moving picture using a number of pieces of fleece, I will make note of that in the future!

[Mindsiege]

Just so nobody has to wait before continuing the scene, Almavalesh didn't respond to Derek's greeting.

[Mindsiege]

Both of Aurora's and Geghard's interactions with the environment succeed. I'll write a bit more about touching Almavalesh's memory of himself in the next GM post.

@Togot:
Just a quick little thing I noticed on the quick sheet underneath your posts, Derek would only have 2 leveled spell slots as a level 1 adventurer.

Also, I've realized that this is something I should ask. Do you want to RP Nephala or is that task left to me. I honestly have no preference.

[Togot]

fixed, and i'll control her if i have the option

[Mindsiege]

@Togot:
Sounds good, I prefer to give the familiar the personality that the player imagined, so I'm fine letting you play her.

[Mindsiege]

@BarrowB:
Unless any other PC tries to hold Aurora back, there's no reason for us to do initiative, so I won't make you deal turn-based damage while fighting a window.
In all likelihood Aurora will simply end up breaking the window.

@edit:
Maybe worth noting, as a GM I'll be using initiative for every situation that requires the sequence of events to matter, not only combat.

Thank gods... The window didn't fight back.

Could happen. Never know when you might run into a window mimic.
