But wasn't Kyro's last Wis save successful?

According to Jbear's last post: "Kyro: passes WIS save > Bloodlust ends"

Why would he need to repeat the save?

Oh.... I thought it was an every round type event... moment to moment. I can quickly edit as needed and use those attacks on the pirate captain. I can reach him using feline agility.

I agree with Elanir, pretty sure that was one save per battle.

Also would Kyro haved used Fighting Spirit if you're attacking the Captain?

Yes he would have. 66 damage with Nat 20 on second hit using Great Weapon Master

I haven't read anything yet, except the ooc comments.

Bloodlust ended and was not required to roll again this round.

Mid round saves seem to be a moot point with Kyro's crit on the captain as the damage stated would be enough to kill the Captain.

When I update on Friday I will take a look and confirm everything, judging the timing favourably so that nobody feels their action was wasted.

So it seems that Dispel Magic might be a good spell for the group to get it's hands on.

Always a good one to have.

Also depending on how things pan out Kyro had an AoO against the captain and Andressa didn’t roll her damage for hers .

Looking over the narrative, and the asked for d20 rolls... It looks like the threshold for getting 3 Major wounds on Heel has been exceeded by a fair amount.

That being the case, I'll have Svaly focus on Knuckles

Also side note, with Taurri's zombies decimating the crew of the Stirge, does that count as kills for him thus evolving the Bell?

No, I don't think so. The bell needs to absorb a target's death. The zombies do not count as an extension of the bell.

Taurri did land the killing blow on the Cook, however.

@Team: Thank you all for your patience with my slower posting rate. I am experiencing DM burnout for perhaps the first time ever, and it is a struggle for me not to throw in the towel. You will no doubt notice the acceleration. At this point I find it necessary to jump forward towards the target lest we may never make it.

Orolongo is not the target but it does offer the neatest possible bow and the swiftest possible resolution to the group's main sidequests while also cutting off almost a week of jungle travel via Andressa's magical spell. It also offers the opportunity for the group to aim in the right direction--something the adventure module intends for the group to stumble onto after blindly grafting through the jungle looking for that precious information. That might play out well at a table, but pbp is another matter. I need to find a way where you can have a taste of that without becoming pointlessly lost in it.

So please tie up any loose ends with the Endeavour, resting, and anything else that you feel is important. And then push forward with me toward readiness to step through to Orolongo.

@Insacrum I will work on filling out the group map to reflect Andressa's alteration. She can fill in the path that she travelled along the river from Port Nyanzaru all the way to Orolongo.

@Elanir Huge congratulations on your Post of the Year award. Thoroughly deserved!

@Jbear I'm glad you're persevering, I love this game and I hope inspiration strikes again soon. In the meanwhile I'm all for acceleration and if there's any more we can do to help keep things tight and easier on your end feel free to let us know.

For everyone us, this is a crazy haul! 1961 gp in coinage and 'jewelry' if my math was correct, plus the 500 gold we can collect from 'Captain' Elok's head so 2461 gp total, definitely enough for some big-ticket items. I'm gonna take a look back at what people wish-listed earlier in OOC and put up a list for Taurri to bring to Harbormaster Zindar, so if anyone has anything else they want to throw out there feel free.

One thing I have started doing, when I feel stuck trying to figure out what to do next as a DM (usually I know what the story should do, I just am not sure how to start writing it), I'll turn to AI to help. I'll tell it I am DMing a PbP D&D game, tell it what is happening currently, tell it to DO NOTHING until I say so, copy in what all the players are doing, tell it what scene I want to see next, and ask it to output a DM post in the passive past tense, using BB code. I usually don't use a lot of what is there initially, and edit it, but sometimes that helps to keep things moving along, and get over that hump.

May not be for everyone, but I find it a useful tool to help supplement where I struggle sometimes.
