Okay, I was just wondering about the mechanics.  |

Disadvantaged attack rolls are 23 and 9. Such a shame to waste that 23.... But that's precisely the sort of thing disadvantage is meant to do. In any case, nice post, Darren. |

Darren, that was one damn fine post. Truly, one of the best I've read from you. You know, Jeff. We might have another budding writer in the group.  |

Yeah, Darren. Nice job.
Hey Brian, I think that second attack may have hit. I think Sarquaa has a pretty low AC.

It's because I'm in tech right now. I'm around these talented and creative people all day. I'll go back to being terrible again soon. |

Just checking....Jeff, did you apply the ten points of damage on Sarquaa the Indestructible that Adamant delivered? You typically state damage taken in the action section of your post. Oh, and we're in a whole lot of trouble here.  |

Jeff, is it possible for Kal to use Prestidigitation or Minor Illusion to somehow distract Sarquaa and use up his reaction so that Condign could move away without being attacked?

● Sarquaa’s disadvantaged bite attack vs. Adamant: 29 and 23 (hit) / 8 piercing damage to damant
I like this “damant” nickname for Adamant… rhymes with “damn it”… I think I forgot about that completely… I did a search for Resilience and there’s nothing in this chapter anyway. |

While I'm always happy to entertain creative uses for spells, within combat those two spells would have very limited utility in the way you're talking. Prestidigitation is, by nature, an innocuous spell. Good to entertain and be flashy but not enough to sway an enemy's attack in battle, and Minor Illusion wouldn't be convincing enough (either sight or sound but not both, and it's assumed everyone's looking all directions every round so you couldn't just make a lion's roar right behind a guy and scare him). In general, the best way to gauge whether you think you could pull off this sort of thing would be: would you think it fair if enemy spellcasters imposed disadvantage or prevent an opportunity attack on every turn that they used a mere cantrip on you? |

Well, Kal still has a healing potion, but I need a way to get it to Condign before he falls down, and getting Kal closer to Sarquaa wasn't on the top of my list. |

Hey, Brian. Drinking a potion is a regular action, meaning you can't also use the Attack action (which would come with two attacks). An attack can't be substituted for a potion swig.  Or am I missing a special fighter thing you're doing? |

It's a special Condign the Great ability. You never knew about it, because I made it up.
Okay, I thought I could forgo one of my attacks, assuming it was an action, and only swing once. My bad. I'll edit my post.

Sorry, but yeah. It's easy to think that fighters get two actions, but they only get two attacks if they take the Attack action as their action. Meanwhile:

I have to say it's good to have Belarin back... the not-rhyming spellcasting was freaking me out... |

Thanks, Dave! (Actually, if you look at the posts where Lich Lord Belarin attacked the nycaloth, he still squeezed in a few rhyming words. Belarin wasn't completely buried.) |

Not sure if 7 points is enough to finish off Sarquaa, but I'll wait to see before posting.

By the way, Dave W, there's something in the latest Sage Advice column that I found interesting:
I believe that's a change from 3rd & 4th editions, isn't it?

Can we quickly take stock and figure out our best way to get out of here? Kal still has one healing potion left. He can use it on Adamant, but if I remember right, he only gets half benefit from it. We can't carry him, though, so getting him on his feet is important. I'd rather use the potion to get Streko up, though, but only if he can do something to get Adamant mobile (or if we have a second healing potion).
Also, Jeff, did you type Mistra on purpose, or was that just a perfect typo?
