Re: Tests and Trials OOC
That sounds fun. You want any ideas for characters?

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
There will only be 5-6 players, and I already have a character built up for each class, so I'm probably good!

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
I'm postponed on running this, DM has off Friday, so he'll be able to prep to run main campaign. Two of his online friends will be in town next month, so I'll be running this the weekend they are in. That'll be a big party, good thing I rolled up a dozen characters. There are normally 4 players, we might be adding one since we just lost one, so maybe as many as 7? 8 if my wife is up for joining? I've never run that many in person.

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
I wish you luck! My Roll20 has five people and that can be a chore to keep everyone involved! In RL I have only ever have had three people, my wife and my (young) daughters. Just made a true one shot for them where they are a couatl, gold dragon wyrmling and a pixie (super balanced). Gonna test it out this weekend probably.

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
It's not even empty boasting/threats to say the hobgoblins wouldn't have that much more of a chance were we unarmed. Half our party are no less deadly without our weapons. If I recall right, Ves is roughly as dangerous unarmed as armed, while Joe and Lurn both use magic to fight, so weapons aren't necessary for them. Plus Kroshav with his strength could probably disarm one and take its weapons with ease, and Jaq is unnoticed, so he would still be fully armed. Basically only Jolly would be impeded by losing his weapon, and he's not exactly a super fighter.

Hunters of Letrua; Character list
Also Player / Monster stats, skill lists.
My characters:
Tugs Tails, the goblin that was sort of a trapper and wears a bear's tail at his neck, for some reason - Lair of the Mountain King (Run by Thinks)
Alex Sparo, A city boy, poor of sight, who has learned to manipulate people and make the most of what he, and others, have - Trinity Isles (Run by Mort)
Mehriv Turajin, a Noble Dragonborn Sorcerer sent from his clan because he wasn't dragony enough. - The Wandering Archipelago (Run by Thinks)

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
Kroshav can unarmed strike for 6 damage, and if he even gets hold of a rock to use as an improvised weapon, he can do 8-11 damage, plus smite, but without proficiency to hit.

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
Those hobs to the north rolled double 20s and 18s för their sneak at disadvantage. Crazy.
4d20 = [20, 20, 18, 18] = 76

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
Hope these hobgobs are so embarrassed about turning coward and running away that they can't talk to one another about this night, and they all just retire and turn to farming.

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
Jolly should do the 'goblin' trick and claim, "I'm now an adventurer" and take a level in fighter!

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
Fighter? Nah mate, he's gonna take levels in Demigod. It isn't even a class, but he'll get them.
Edit: And before you ask which god he's a demi from, it's clearly Dionysus. God of wine and all.

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
When you say Ves can't sleep because of her injuries, is that mechanical or flavour? If it's mechanical, she definitely would have taken Lurn up on his offer of healing after the hobgoblin battle. If it's just flavour and the long-rest will heal her back up once it's complete, she would just have cleaned it up, chucked a dressing on it and gone to sleep though.

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
It's flavor trying to come up with why she wasn't great on her watch. I would have let you know if something was mechanically impacting Ves, by the morning she would have been back up at full.
I try to come up with reasons why watches aren't at least average. In Jaq's case I had nothing but felt like I had described everyone else. Whenever possible I like to give all watches some flavor!
Also, I was surprised that you decided to stay in the same place after having four hobs escape...

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
It was a calculated show of force
Nah, I just figured they could probably track us regardless and it wasn't probably worth it.

Potentially, though I think he was only healed for 3 or so? Well, I don't regret it anyway, healing him made sense.

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
From this point forward you will only fight single, massively powerful monsters to speed the updating.
I realize this is nothing compared to what you did Spider, but geez.

D&D is nothing compared to the massive # of rolls I saddled myself with in my Castle Heterodyne game, or the Fallout game badge and I were running...
Probably why they are both inactive...

Not going to lie, running the forest battle is what killed the WA for a couple of months there... Buuuuut, I like running battles with hordes much better than solo monsters.

Re: Tests and Trials OOC
Not sure how you guys organize things, but I use a spreadsheet with all of the PCs and allied NPCs on one side, the enemies on the other, with an overlapping Initiative column. I have other columns with formula to calculate remaining HP, etc.
If anyone thinks it would be of use to them, I can make a generic one and share it.
