[slingergame] Bert says, "Log on."

(From Quarion) Tattletaleslinger says, 'Hello, scifi kids.'

[slingergame] DM says, ""hello, fantasy kids"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Ahoy, Captain DM."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Hello"

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "Previously on Knights of Bastafore, our heroes had come face to face with a wild cliffhanger!"

[slingergame] DM asks, "Are we all here?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Also, AAAAH | Recapped 10 of 666 lines from rooms/dtt (06d19 to 03m35 ago)."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Rush is 11 hours idle."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "So no"

[slingergame] DM says, "He said he might be late"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Ok!"

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "Latte? I didn't order that!"

[slingergame] DM says, "Give me time to clean my desk"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I thought it was the 27th when he was supposed to be late."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(It being a Sunday.)"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "yay"

[slingergame] DM says, "Woo"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Sorry; was finishing breakfast ;-)"

[slingergame] DM says, "Any lingering questions etc."

[slingergame] DM says, "The most important meal of the day"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I don't quite remember the cliffhanger."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Where are we at the moment, terrain-wise?"

[slingergame] Vraklul (to Rush) | DM says, "And that night, you all have the same dream ..."

[slingergame] Vraklul | DM says, "The unicorn gets up, bloodied, knees buckling. Dead beasts, black as night, surround it. It holds up its head, proud, unbeaten. But there are more howls in the forest, more sounds of feet and claws."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Oh, got it."

[slingergame] Vraklul | DM says, "Slowly, it limps away, blood trickling from its torn flank."

[slingergame] DM says, "Your're still in the forest."

[slingergame] DM says, "And just woke up after that cliffhanger."

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Heehee 'Your're'"

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Are you making fun of accent? :-)"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "I was in the wrong room lol"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "wondering why nobody was saying anything"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Ha"

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "snrk"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "I assume there are no signs!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Also, I didn't mean the exclamation mark here."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "'This way to the Cave of the Heart! Admission 5 gold. No refunds! Must be taller than this sign.'"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Rush will have to polymorph herself again."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "haha"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra exclaims, "Ha!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Um."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "haha, whoever is doing that"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra asks, "?"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says (to Rush), "The whiteboard."

[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Haha"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Oh, ha."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Someone saw joker at an impressionable age."

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Hee."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Can they still see Vraklul now that he's stepped into the darkness?"

[slingergame] DM says, "As soon as the heartstone begins to emit a little light, they can barely make you out."

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says (to Quarion), "Do you want to attract animated skeletons? Because that's how you attract animated skeletons."

[slingergame] DM | See, long ago there was a unicorn here, but nobody has really seen it for ages. And it's glen is beyond the court of the king of twilight. And they do not allow anyone past. And the only other way to the unicorn's glen is supposedly this cave."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yeah, I was just thinking about that."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So the city might be said court."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "And they might not want us here."

[Crows-Nest] DM says (to rush), "We know that about Rush. Please focus on the plot."

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Hee."

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says (to DM), "Ha, but also, that's not true! That was just Vrak."

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Between him, me, and Stabby, we're both, one, and neither."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Anime-style"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "(I watched some Jojo while in Poland. It was quite something)"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says, "Our marching order is both, same, other, neither."

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Oh, it's just one straight tunnel."

ghira disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.

[slingergame] Quarion asks, "A 'straight' tunnel?"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says (to Rush), "Ha."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "Yeah, OK, whatever you say."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I stand by my plan."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I meant, 'like he does every morning when he feeds it'."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Can we still see the light at (what we've been assuming is) the end of the tunnel?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, but it seems far away and very dim."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Have we been walking long enough that it should have been getting bigger? And has it?"

[slingergame] DM asks (of Vraklul), "It's actually hard to tell... How long have you been moving? How big should it be?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Ah, yes, one of *those* tunnels."

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims (at Shaborys), "But if we all turned over each other, then there wouldn't be any of us left!"

[Crows-Nest] Shaborys was thinking gold, but sure, that's a sweet sentiment :D

annabianca disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "That is far, far shorter than I expected Rush's confession to be."

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Ha!"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I think the Cave was answering me"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "But the timing made it chime with Rush's confession"

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Also my TAB autocomplete completes Rush's name wrong and I can't for the life of me find out why"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says (to DM), "I said it kind of quietly, but I am imagining the acoustics of the place oddly amplifying it."

[slingergame] Shaborys struggles for some bit of backstory/feelings to share.

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Heh."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I gave Vrak a pretty happy childhood."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Shabby had a shitty childhood she wants to forget, but I haven't delved into exactly what that is."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Other than when her special place was Davina's home."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I guess he *did* miss out on ever knowing any of his grandparents. But I don't think that scarred him too heavily."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Feel free to make something up right now :-)"

[slingergame] DM says, "Only here."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Ouch, time to roll a new character"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "sorry, was that too soon? It's too soon"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "And don't forget to roll a few extra time on the Secrets And Traumas table this time."

[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "haha. Fine, I'm thinking."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of Quarion), "What about you?"

[slingergame] Quarion says (to Vraklul), "I have a few ideas."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Let's see what the others come up with"

[slingergame] DM says, "Maybe go first while Thinky stabs? Er, the other way round."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I'm still not sure if they accepted Vrak's, or If I'll need to think of something better..."

[slingergame] DM says, "*Steeples fingers*"

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Your match doesn't light"

[slingergame] DM asks (of Quarion), "Maybe you should go first while Shaborys thinks?"

[slingergame] Quarion says (to DM), "OK."

[Setting the zoned flag.]

[slingergame] DM says (to Quarion), "Wow."

[slingergame] DM says, "Have some inspiration for that."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Aw"

[slingergame] DM says, "Nobody can see him grin, though."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "hehe"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Aw."

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "Please, guys, don't leave Quarion alone in the dark. Pass the Cave's test!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Aww."

[slingergame] DM says, "Also wow."

[slingergame] Shaborys points to 'unfortunate death' on her character sheet

[slingergame] DM says (to Shaborys), "Please also have some inspiration."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Aw"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(I... OK.)"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Oh."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "If we were doing critical fails in this game, the sunlight would have LITERALLY bitten into his eyes"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Hee."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Haha"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Fortunately, 'a trail of bloody carcasses' is easy enough to follow even with a 1!"

[slingergame] DM says, "heh"

[slingergame] DM says, "(Everyone, that is)."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Thank you WIS save proficiency"

[slingergame] DM exclaims (at Vraklul), "You are frightened and do not want to move towards that baying!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Nooooo!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Surely I'm not wise enough to recognize the danger!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "I guess Lesser Restoration doesn't cover 'fright'?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "It covers paralysis."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is the box the clearing where we were standing?"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "My raw rolls so far this session: 1, 6, 7, 8."

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "If this pattern continues, maybe I'll finish with a natural 20 at the end!"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Looks like we're going to be facing a young horror and a senile horror."

[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Ha"

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Did you mean to freeze the top two rows?"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "And the senile horror's aide."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Also man. 1/12."

[slingergame] DM asks, "No? Are they frozen?"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Yeah, if you scroll, they don't move"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Shaborys), "Oho."

[slingergame] DM says, "Hm, can't find how to switch it off"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "There, fixed."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "So in this map, I assume the red squares are the enemies?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I hovered over the line between 2 and 3, grabbed, and dragged it up."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "I am very good at this"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "What wizardry is this"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra giggles.

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "YH is the enemy you're frightened of."

[slingergame] DM says, "These all seem to be dog-like creatures."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "It's the dreaded yoo-hoo."

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra asks, "Are all three monster types dog-like?"

[slingergame] DM says (to rush), "Yes."

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra asks, "And the brown squares are trees?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Yes"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra exclaims, "Thanks!"

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "DEX(14) for my enemies!"

[slingergame] DM asks, "That's half-damage on a save, right?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "indeed it is so"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Okay! The both seem unhappy about this development!"

[slingergame] DM says, "(also, weirdly, the forest does not catch on fire as you'd expect it to)"

[slingergame] DM says, "(one sec)"

[slingergame] DM says, "Sorry, rat fight."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "So it turned invisible, ran to Quarion, bit him, and then (as a result of attacking) turned visible again?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Correct"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Also I cast Shield"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Stabby! Same thing, only for you!"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "18 hits"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Also, it takes cold damage from AofA. Hang on; looking up the amount."

[Crows-Nest] DM asks, "Important: Do you tell it "Hey, cool off?"

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "15 > 13 She's still prone?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(There are now two sm3's and sm4's on the map.)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "OK: 10 pts cold."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Oops. I think the second SM4 was SM5. Thanks."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "So I'm prone but not badly prone or something?"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Never gonna keep her down."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "vrak, same prodecure as the others"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "If they missed, do I need to do a -- I guess not."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "'sma' makes me think of IKEA"

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Ok, so standing up is.. half my movement? And I still get an action or no? Does standing up provoke AoO?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "It makes me think it's Scottish and small."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "haha, more appropriate"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I don't know about AoO's, but I don't *think* it affects your action."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "PHB doesn't mention an AoO."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(And yes on the half your movement.)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "What are the effects of the fright?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Disadvantage on ability checks and attacks while it's in line of sight; can't move toward it."

[slingergame] DM says, "Boom! Flawless exposition."

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Okay!"

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Them being frightened shouldn't affect sneak attack from standing next to it?"

[slingergame] DM says, "I don't see why it would"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "And we're not frightened of those things, anyway."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "But you're in line of sight of sma"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "True."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(This gets an AoO from sm5.)"

[slingergame] DM asks, "With disadv, IIRC?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yup, since I'm raging, and Totem Eagle."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Miss!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "If you moved to K14, would that give you a normal attack against sm4?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Since you can't see yh from there?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "I fear both sma and yh."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Oh, ha."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Anyway, reckless gives advantage, which should cancel the disadvantage."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "What are the rules for diagonal line of sight?"

[slingergame] DM says, "See, if you behaved in Barbarian school, you got thrown into the dog pit."

[slingergame] DM says, "But don't you mean misbehaved? No I don't."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Clearly I needed more time in the dog pit!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Like, can I see sma at O13?"

[slingergame] DM says (to rush), "Hmmmm... that's a good question."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I'd go with a line drawn from the center of her square to the center of its square."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks (of Vrak), "Do you not get multiple attacks?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Or have you not raged?"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Oh! Right!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Sorry, I was too frightened to think straight!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(That's also against sm2.)"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Reroll!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Assuming 27 hits, that's 16 damage.)"

[slingergame] DM says, "Noted."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "But of course not."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "You could try inspiration."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "If it was worth it."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "I didn't get any Inspiration."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Oh, and you used yours from last time."

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Remind me that a special thing happens on your next turn"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "Right, I used it to resist the spiders."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims (at DM), "OK! I'm sure that will necessarily be a good thing for me!"

[slingergame] DM says, "hee"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Wis(15)"

[slingergame] DM says, "I think I will just use the real names of the monsters in the future, as I find this a) always looks silly b) makes fight feel a bit to mechanical for my tastes"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "That makes sense."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I agree"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "And if you don't want us to know IC, we can keep that knowledge separate."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Oh no, a power vacuum"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "I assume that does not stop the fright?"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "That would be hilarious."

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "(Ilac.)"

[slingergame] DM says, "Actually, the theory of a single alpha in wolf packs has been disproven for a while, and actually the one who wrote the theory is working hard to disprove it and ... nevermindf"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Hee"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "yeah, it's a sad tale"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "(Not you, DM)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "For my movement, does it look like these guys can climb trees?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I guess I could roll something."

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Rolling Nature!"

[slingergame] DM says (to rashawndra), "I'd say no, because the effect is from the howl. And Vrak and Q being afraid of a clam is just hilarious."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yes. Yes it is."

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "And I!"

[slingergame] DM googles "can dogs climb trees".

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "I think that's a 'no'."

[slingergame] Quarion says (to DM), "I succeeded at my second roll"

[slingergame] DM asks (of Quarion), "Where you frightened the first time?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "yes"

[slingergame] DM says, "Ah. Good on you then. :-)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "It's the alpha that's been transformed."

[slingergame] DM | The breeds of dogs known to climb trees include the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard, Tree Walker Coonhound, Jack Russell Terrier, New Guinea Singing Dog and the Raccoon Dog

[slingergame] DM says, "I'd say Rush has a clear sense of "Maybe ???""

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Hey, I won a free dog walk on this site"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Congrats! Maybe another site will give you a free dog."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Actually:"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Vrak will take thunder damage if he's within 10ft of us"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I'm sure he's OK with that ;-)"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Vrak probably won't -- exactly."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "What about Shaborys?"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Or can you bring them both with you?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "nah"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Rush and I will go to N12"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "and then teleport."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "wait no"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "But AoO?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I'll get an AoO if I do that."

[Crows-Nest] DM says (to Quarion), "You'll get an AoO from the Shadow Mastiff .. timing"

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "Allies protected!"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "What's the radius?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "20ft"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Then just north of Rush should get everything."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "But you run the risk of curing the clam."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Maybe just place it as an outline on the map (the point of origin is an intersection point between squares)"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh, I forgot the intersection bit."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Never mind."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "It's hard to draw a circle on the map"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Between M11 and N12? How does that do for you?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "http://i.stack.imgur.com/AoXda.gif"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I don't know if I can realistically avoid the clam (and in-game, I'm not sure if I would have noticed the polymorphing in the heat of battle)"

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "I think you pick an origin and then go 4 squares in every direction"

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Oh, neat"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Google image searched 'fireball area of effect on a grid'.)"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Drew a fireball that burns all except the clam"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "and sm1"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "darn sm1"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I think you shortchanged yourself slightly on the width, but not in a way that would affect anything except trees."

[slingergame] DM asks, "I think you overwrote the yh. I think he was there?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "He was next to the clam"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Ok!"

[slingergame] DM says, "So, now everyone but the clam rolls a DEX14"

[slingergame] DM says, "(right?)"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "sm1 is also spared"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Excluding PC's that he sculpted it around?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "yep"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Also, uh, I think Shaborys is fire colored."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Damn straight"

[slingergame] Rashawndra sighs dreamily.

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "I wonder if Google Sheets supports some kind of 'lay down an outline of this shape onto the current sheet based on this location' feature."

[slingergame] DM asks, "Can the clam roll anything?"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is he at the top of a hill?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "If so, he probably can roll."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "PHB doesn't mention any extra rolls for polymorph."

[slingergame] DM says, "Yep, it's screwed."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims (at DM), "On the plus side, half of us can't get close enough to hurt it!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Yeah, it has to get damaged, or do clam things."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "Or wait an hour, or hope you get distracted."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "It hits!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "I have both advantage and disadvantage on it!"

[slingergame] DM says, "he he"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Actually -- not that it matters much -- was that a save or a straight check?)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Wow."

[slingergame] DM says, "Save"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "OK, that's what I rolled."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Does that mean its howl expires?"

[slingergame] DM says, "no, but you can roll a save on your turn"

[slingergame] Rashawndra nods.

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Should I roll saves against anything?"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Also, I heard something special was supposed to happen on my turn!"

[slingergame] DM | &{template:default} {{name=**Yeth Hound**: *Baleful Baying*}} {{Desc.=The yeth hound bays magically. Every enemy within 300 feet of the hound that can hear it must succeed on a ***DC 13 Wisdom saving throw*** or be frightened until the end of the hound�s next turn or until the hound is incapacitated. A frightened target that starts its turn within 30 feet of the hound must use all its movement on that turn to get as far from the hound as possible, must finish the move before taking an action, and must take the most direct route, even if hazards lie that way. A target that successfully saves is immune to the baying of all yeth hounds for the next 24 hours.

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Whoops, did not mean to post all of that. So yeah, you use your movement to get as far away as possible!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Oh no!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra is glad she didn't cast 'haste' on Vrak ;-)

[slingergame] DM says, "he he"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims (at Rush), "I was just thinking the same!"

[Crows-Nest] (from Shaborys) Vraklul says, "It's just a clam!"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "Yay!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "You realize it's just a clam."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Whoops, timing ;-)"

[slingergame] DM says, "If you're nervous, just imagine everyone in the audience as clams"

[slingergame] josh_g says, "what a great line to walk into this on"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Disadvantage: that's a 10."

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Miss!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "And another try!"

[slingergame] DM says (to josh_g), "We're in the DTT"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "If a 21 hits, that's 9 piercing damage!"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "But it bounces off!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Oh no!"

[slingergame] josh_g says, "pay no mind to the OOC observer behind the curtain"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Hoo boy."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Also, oof. That was half my javelins."

[slingergame] DM says, "Hm. So you would take extra damage if you are frightened. I guess technical you are frightened, but I'm not sure if the implication here is supposed to be "frightened by him":"

[slingergame] DM says, "But I'll say so. But, you get to make a WIS1 save against the howl."

[slingergame] DM says, "11, that is."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yay."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Does that make everybody?"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Also, were there any trees in the middle of that fireball that are still relevant to the combat?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Mastff:"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Yeth:"

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "No save!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Mastiff:"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Yeth:"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "w00t"

[slingergame] DM says, "Wow"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Woo."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(I had bumped it up to an l2 spell, twinned.)"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "haha, sm5 had 1 HP left! He turns into ash!"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "snap"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Yay!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(That means no more fear, right?)"

[slingergame] DM says, "He was pretty damaged form Q's fireball at the beginning"

[slingergame] DM exclaims (at Vraklul), "Yes!"

[slingergame] DM says, "Also because you learnt to believe in yourself"

[slingergame] Quarion asks, "Is it my turn?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "(he had less than 15 HP one assumes)"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "That was my last level 1 slot."

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "woo!"

[slingergame] DM says, "Nice"

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Should we all finish off the clam together like last time?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Wait! We haven't killed the clam! :-D"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "YES"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Wow."

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "I rolled maximum damage!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(I'm assuming that my rage wore off.)"

[slingergame] DM says, "Rage, rage at the clam"

[slingergame] DM asks (of rush), "You want to do some damage?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Sure."

[slingergame] DM says, "So we're at 61"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh, I guess I get multiple attacks still."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(assuming a hit, of course)"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Reroll!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "re-roll!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims (at Rush), "Yay!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra high-five

[slingergame] DM asks, "So we're at 77?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "That would be enough to fell a Shadow Mastiff."

[slingergame] DM says, "So, the alpha was only somewhat wounded, so this leaves him at ... -45"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "he is dusted"

[slingergame] DM says, "So, like, you have an intense rush of the emotion, but it passes quickly, if that makes sense."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "It does."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Any particular emotion, or just the abstract concept of emotionality?"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is there a direction associated with this vision?"

[slingergame] DM says, "No."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(survival)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "You tell us!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Does it seem like it's working?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "78 minutes, 14.92 seconds."

[slingergame] DM says, "You run through the forest."

[slingergame] DM says, "But after, say, 2 minutes, you have not found the unicorn (which was in some sort of clearing)"

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "We have not found the unicorn? Darn it!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "If this is anything like the last tree we climbed, then see you in a coupld of sessions!"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Spin-off-time!"

[slingergame] DM says, "Maybe half a mile away"

[slingergame] DM says, "(while I am briefly Afk)"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "CON + Athletics, or straight CON?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Straight"

[slingergame] DM says, "*ominous note taking behind DM screen*"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Okay!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(afk briefly)"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Then later, we find out what these CON rolls *really* meant.)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(back)"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I smell an init roll."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Do I still do the INIT?)"

[slingergame] DM says, "oh no, have I become predictable"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(failed the INT check)"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Also failed the int check"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "just barely failed INT check"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Huh."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "That wasn't quite a real roll."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Shush"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Thanks!"

[slingergame] DM says (to Quarion), "Hey! We play fair or not at all."

[slingergame] DM says, "*serious DM face*"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "hehe"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So, let's ignore the sheet title for now."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks (of DM), "Does that mean I should move myself further back?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Everybody in Row Z please"

[slingergame] Quarion asks, "Where's the gnome with the starter pistol?"

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Rush cast haste, right?"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "yes"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "she did"

[slingergame] DM says, "Was it her turn already? I'm not sure how I feel about this casting right before combat starts to be honest, but I'll let it slide today"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "We heard the commotion before we entered the clearing, you said?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, fair point. That's why I said I'll let it slide :-)"

[Crows-Nest] (from Quarion) Keanu Reeves says, 'Shoot the unicorn. Take it out of the equation.'

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I have been casting haste just before combat a few times, but I'd be happy to stop if you prefer."

[slingergame] DM exclaims (at Vraklul), "Same deal!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Shaborys: slicker than slime."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Can I see it?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "If so, I get advantage."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "(AFK)"

[slingergame] DM says, "No, it was a surprise attack"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh. Then the 8 stands."

[slingergame] DM says, "You are covered in disgusting slime! (and grappled)"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Rush! Also same deal!"

[slingergame] DM says, "You are also covered in disgusting slime! (and also grappled)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I think I will Favor of the Gods on this."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Adding:"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Nice!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(If anyone else gets grappled: your speed is 0. It ends if the slime is incapacitate or if something forces you apart (e.g., by something like thunderwave)."

[slingergame] DM says, "You are not covered in disgusting slime! (and also not grappled)"

[slingergame] DM says, "You are also a) restrained and b) unable to breath"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Yeah, I think that was a good FbtG call ;-)"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Oh no!"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Back"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Wha?"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Sorry!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Movement 0 and no... Ah, OK."

[slingergame] DM says, "my days of skipping your INI are coming to a middle"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So I'm 'Restrained', the condition? That means I get disadvantage on attacks."

[slingergame] DM says, "Yes"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "But I'll attack recklessly to cancel it."

[slingergame] DM says, "Also yes"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "OOh"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "That might not be right."

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Nice one!"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Hit!"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "12 damage! Am I still slimed?"

[slingergame] DM says, "You take 6 damage of that and you are still slimed"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "6 of my own slashing?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(I ask because I resist slashing but not necrotic.)"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Either way, ttacking again!"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "6 slashing!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Haste!"

[slingergame] Vraklul takes his 6 slashing.

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Am I still slimed?"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Yes!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Action Surge!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Two more attacks!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Wow, OK then."

[slingergame] DM says, "9 slashing"

[slingergame] DM says, "still slimed"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "One more!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Bonus action: Second Wind (healing)."

[slingergame] DM says, "Aw"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(So helpful.)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "I don't suppose you get a re-roll on *those* 2's?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Alas, no."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "First, attack, ST1:"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Now ST2:"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Hit!"

[slingergame] DM says, "..."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Damage:"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "St1:"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "St2"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(piercing)"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Do I roll any DEX saves?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Now everyone in that 4x4 area saves twice for the explosion:"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I have disadvantage from Restrained and Advantage from Danger Sense."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "dex(15)"

[slingergame] DM says, "So both Slime 1 and Slime 2 saved once"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "If you save, you take no damage."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Otherwise, the 7 and the 9, cold."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Friendly frost"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Those of you paying attention will notice that Vraklul is kinda badly injured at this point."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "I suppose moving away isn't going to help if the thing gets to attack me on my way out?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "This effect may be different from an attack."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Since it involved a save, not an attack roll."

[slingergame] DM says, "Great, the HP tracker just removed an enemy instead of applying damage."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks (of DM), "Can I tell?"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "ST1 falls off Vrak!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Finally!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Yay@"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "er, '!'."

[slingergame] DM says (to rush), "Yes, you can tell"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks (of DM), "So, will moving away actually help?"

[slingergame] DM asks, "Help how?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Let her get away without an AoO that could grapple/restrain her."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Is an AoO the same as the attack it did on me originally?"

[slingergame] DM asks, "*non-committal shrug* maybe?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "You just said I could tell! ;-)"

[slingergame] DM says, "Oh, I think that aimed at Vrak being injured"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Ah, OK."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "OK, I will stay here, then."

[slingergame] DM says, "So, now, you cannot tell IC how a gameplay mechanism works ;-)"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is the slime that fell off me apparently dead/incapacitated, or just no longer grappling me?"

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Yes, it's dead."

[slingergame] DM says, "Sorry, looking something up"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Wow, there's a distance."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Perhaps that's what he was looking up."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Whoops, should have stood next to Q."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "Can I cast cantrips while grappled?"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Yup."

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Grappling just keeps you from leaving that space."

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "But the rock goes wild!"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "So it tries again!"

[Crows-Nest] (from Vraklul) Rock cheers madly!

[slingergame] DM asks, "19 hits?"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "It does!"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Also, were you rolling with disadvantage or advantage?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Disadvantage"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Because you get advantage for my having just attacked recklessly."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Which I guess changes nothing about the result!"

[slingergame] DM says, "Ok (doesn't really change anything though)"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "Well, can I still wave my hands about?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Grappled means he can't move?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Yes, nothing more"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "OK"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "He can move in the sense of using his hands and ducking and stuff."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I have a fourth level slot."

[slingergame] DM says, "Ooooh."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "But not move in the sense of walking or running or climbing or stuff."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Quarion), "Excellent."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "There are several options: megafireball, banishing the unicorn temporarily to protect it from the korred..."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Banishing?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Or even levitation."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Would banishing the korred work better? Or would it get a save or something?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Well, it depends on whether I can quickly find something that a unicorn/korred hates"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Does the korred hate us?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Otherwise, a megafireball on the korred and his minions (while avoiding the unicorn) could work wonders."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "If his hair is magical, I could try dispelling it, but that's riskier."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Oh!"

[slingergame] DM says, "You are not items! You are creatures."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "The hair is no doubt distasteful to the unicorn."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "At this particular moment, extemely so."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "It's a bit of a streth."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "*stretch, even"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yeah, 75 feet. I counted."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I am technically in possession of korred hair... or rather, it is in possession of me."

[slingergame] (from Quarion) Keanu says, 'Take the hostage out of the equation!'

[slingergame] Quarion says, "The problem however..."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "...is that the unicorn makes a CHA save. And the charisma of a unicorn..."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "...must be a wonder to behold."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Ehh, megafireball it is."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "But you can choose to fail a save, right?"

[slingergame] Quarion asks, "What's the word of God on this?"

[slingergame] DM asks, ".Quarion If you go with fireball, maybe use the border function ... oh. Hmmm, I'd say so?"

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "But would the unicorn understand that it should?"

[slingergame] DM | No rule lets you opt to fail a save. As DM, I might allow it, assuming you aren't incapacitated or dominated."

[slingergame] DM says, "Well, you don't know IC if it does or not, so I'm not gonna comment."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "OK"

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Not around us? Or can you get everyone?"

[slingergame] DM asks, "Yeah, who do you hit with this?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I'm just impressed it knew his name at all."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Just the korred."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Half damage"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "*sniff*"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "OK!"

[slingergame] DM asks, "That's it from you?"

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "It is!"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "See, those are capital question marks now."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is this another DEX save?"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "But this time I can see it coming!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "This no doubt provokes one or more attacks of opportunity, which are at disadvantage."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So I'll let you resolve those first."

[slingergame] DM says, "RIght"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Miss and miss!"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Woo!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "18 Slashing!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "16 slashing!"

[slingergame] DM checks Vrakul's die.

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "19 slashing!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Now THIS is how a fight is SUPPOSED to work!"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "But he still stands!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Mastiff:"

[Crows-Nest] (from DM) Korred says (to Vrakl) "RAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUURRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHH! is my mother's name? WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "And the slime:"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(just l1 this time)"

[Crows-Nest] DM exclaims, "Both hits!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(24/M, 10/s)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(unless they both die, in which case I run away)"

[slingergame] DM says, "They are both still alive, unfortunately"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "(I guessed as much)"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "That'll be $1.25, plus an additional $0.25 per day until the library books are returned."

[slingergame] Quarion asks, "Keeping a mastiff upper lip, are we?"

[slingergame] DM asks, "I assume that hits?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "That's a hit. But you have advantage."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Are you trying for a crit?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Ooh."

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Bludgeoning!"

[slingergame] DM asks, "Ooh?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "For those keeping track at home: Vrak is now *very badly* injured."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "But still standing!"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Second attack!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Hit!"

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Bludgeoning, again!"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Still standing!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Whew."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Is Q still grappled?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "*piano chords*"

[slingergame] DM asks (of Vraklul), "How much HP do you have left?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Yes, I am grappled, but still casting that old magic"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "This feels like a conversation I have a lot with the DM, except suddenly turned the other way around."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims (at DM), "Five!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "No, I wondered if the korred had to maintain it on its turn."

[slingergame] DM says, "Wow"

[slingergame] DM says (to rush), "Nope"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "It's a true boss battle"

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "Surprisingly, that's a miss!"

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Prone & Grappled : The Quarion story"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Oh, dang, does being grappled prevent you from standing up?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Ha! This is the first time I've taken damage this session"

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Hm, yes. Since you movement speed is 0."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I've cast spells while lying prone before."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Q), "Wherease I'm already down 1.85 Quarions just right now."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "13 piercings? Whoa, that's extreme."

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "No judgement."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "Does that hit?"

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Yes! Barely."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Inspiration?"

[Crows-Nest] DM asks, "hasted?"

[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Hasted, yes"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "Or not."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "And yeah, sure. Why not. I'd like to hit twice if possible. Inspiration to re-roll."

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "woo!"

[Crows-Nest] DM says, "haha"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Woo."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "And the slimes?"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Delicious slimes."

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Like oyster, minus the shell"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Are the dogs completely gone, or just watching from the edge of the clearing?"

[slingergame] DM says, "The dogs have run away, never to be seen or heard from again in this story."

[slingergame] DM asks, "Or are they ...?"

[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "dun dun DUN"

[slingergame] DM asks, "Who is hurt =?"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I'm down 20 points."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "I only took 10 damage."

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "I'm fine, I still have *multple* HP!"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Normally I'd dodge to halve that, but both attacks made me prone, so it didn't seem reasonable."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(But, seriously: I'm very hurt, and would very much appreciate a short rest so I could spend some hit dice.)"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Healing?"

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "Unicorn Healing!"

[slingergame] DM says, "It also neutralizes all poisons and diseases, so Vrak finally loses that embarassing rash."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "snrk."

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Hee."

[slingergame] Rashawndra asks, "Did my healing the unicorn help? Can it heal itself?"

[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, it seems better."

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is the Forest of Pain where we left M'Arce?"

[slingergame] DM says, "yes"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra says (to Vrak), "No, it's a forest where all the trees are made of bread."

[slingergame] Quarion says, "honh honh"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "aww"

[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "That sounds delicious!"

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Aw!"

[Crows-Nest] Rashawndra exclaims, "Yaay!"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "Wheee"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I wonder if this means no more random unicorn dreams, or if it just means that our random unicorn dreams will be happier ones in the future."

[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Man, that combat was awesome!"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Also, yay.)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims (at DM), "Oh, good!"

[slingergame] DM says, "(I thought. What did you think?)"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "I know you've been worried about it."

[slingergame] Rashawndra exclaims, "It was fun!"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "It felt tense."

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "It was thrilling. Vrak nearly died!"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "And the stakes were palpable"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "It was fantastic as soon as Vrak was allowed to run up to the bad guy and hit it with his axe!"

[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, I've been reading a bit about how to make combat more interesting."

[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I took damage! That rarely happens :D And Quarion mostly did not. Which also rarely happens ;)"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Shaborys), "Ha ha."

[slingergame] DM says (to Shaborys), "he he he"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "hehe"

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "It's interesting for me to try to avoid taking damage so I don't drop concentration."

[slingergame] Rashawndra says, "And both combats this time I was surrounded by enemies I couldn't get away from."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "Mmm, yes."

[slingergame] DM says, "It's good when enemies have more attacks than "HIT WITH CLUB" but also a lot more stuff to track."

[slingergame] DM says, "e.g. I only now realized the Mastiffs all had damage restistance"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "And I usually make a point to wade in and attack, and in both of these combats, I was unable to actually approach the main bad guy."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to Rush), "So we both had our tactics challenged."

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Yeah, I was hoping the Yeth's fear attack would work on a few of you"

[slingergame] DM says, "He had some fierce damage when he attacked someone frightened"

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "Interesting -- but at the same time, it must be difficult for him to do so, since they immediate flee if he approaches."

[slingergame] DM says, "And now for everyone's favorite part : Checking the schedule."

[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, it kind of works if he acts before them or corners them."

[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "We're scheduled for Sunday, the 27th, I believe?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "October 27 is what everyone *claimed* they could do."

[slingergame] Quarion exclaims, "I always make good on my claims, good sir!"

[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Oh oh."

[slingergame] Vraklul says (to DM), "*Sunday*, not Saturday."

[slingergame] DM says, "Oh, I thought you were going to say you couldn't make it after all"

[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "Oh, no, I fully plan to be here!"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Also, as I mentioned earlier: I *think* Europe ends DST on the 27th, right?"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "The end of an error/era"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Which, if I did my math right, means that 2pm MUDtime will be 7pm for you instead of 8pm?"

[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(Which might help those of you who want to sleep at some point before Monday.)"

[slingergame] DM says, "May be."

[slingergame] DM says, "oh, you are right"

[slingergame] DM says, "It turns out I have that whole week off, *except* Monday."

[slingergame] DM says, "but it should be allright"

[slingergame] DM asks, "Did we talk about doing something in the meantime?"
