[OOC] Strange Maps

I'm good just going forward. Post coming.

Edit: BTW, he also has Arcane Deflection, another defensive reaction option.

I can't wait that Cha-kra can finally use his secondary pair of arms mechanically, even though it will cost him his climbing speed.

delpinator, this confused me a little. We wouldn't expect arrow to hurt the rocks. Is he saying that it seems like they are illusion, or that they aren't?

[delpinator]

Yeah that may have been too subtle. The rocks seem to be an illusion.

[Mindsiege]

I'm very delayed at the moment. Expect my post by tomorrow.

[Mindsiege]

I had Cha-kra try to see through the illusions. Maybe there is more threat than rocks which aren't there.

I also finished changing his racial abilities and updating all his stats, and promptly I had Cha-kra make use of his new telepathy. Technically that feature explicitly forbids him from ever having talked any common out loud, but since he's been talking normally for the longest time I'll just make it canon that his powers have finally come into their own and now he's no longer reliant on speaking for real. He much prefers telepathy and truthfully isn't the most communicative character anyways, so I think it will work without destroying too much continuity.

Sounds good and with duhas assistance you have advantage on your investigation. I think we're at a point to move forward so if were ready I can do a post tonight.

Sweet! This improved Cha-kra's Investigation of (15) to an (18)!

@edit:
Also, I agree with moving forward. Sorry again for my own late response.

Confor is very generous here, that are 50 gold pieces right there!

I just realized that Cha-kra is also still holding a healing potion that he got from Confor which he could have given Rhazor. I didn't really think about that in the moment. I'll probably have him hold onto it though, at least until someone is dying and definitely while we still have short rests available. My goal is for Cha-kra to give the potion back unused at the end of the adventure, because that's quite a lot of gold.

@delpinator:
How does it work in your game? Can characters take their short rest separately from each other or will all party members rest and expend our two available rests at the same time?

Also, there is a case that we might want to heal Rhazor with magic as quickly as possible, with the possibility that he could contract a disease from getting wounded by these creepy creatures. Could someone in our party make a Medicine check to confirm if it's safe to leave him to naturally recover from his scratches? Currently I'm just asking in general, because Cha-kra won't be making any such check, and if Rhazor accepts and drinks the potion he won't interfere either.

[secretID]

delpinator, I just rolled a 16 and a 19 for Arrogaio's History check re grung and the other thing (firenewt?), respectively. Could you tell me what he knows? If you don't want to write it all out, I'm happy if you just tell me what parts of the monster block and text he might know.

[delpinator]

Yes, you can read the stats. The firenewts are the warlocks though unlike In the stats neither are actually always evil. The firenewts dive to pockets in steam vents below the island to lay their eggs unlike those that lay eggs in volcanoes. These warlocks appear to have a hag like power for illusion that when combined can make hallucinatory terrain.

@delpinator:
About this quote, did you have feedback to give? Just for me to figure out how to handle short rests and medicine checks.

Illusion casting warlocks? Why those dirty cheating bastards! Illusion abusing warlocks are the worst. Just ask Confor.

[delpinator]

Yeah toucan make rests separately though this would mean doing nothing for the hour while the rest of the party continues.

The only poison is from the spines which never hit anybody. Your more than welcome to make an checks you feel might be important though. A DC 10 medicine check can also stabilize though not heal.

I edited my last IC post to add stuff about the grung and firenewts.
