@The Mighty Hero

I've been meaning to ask, are you willing to allow players a chance (Even a slim chance.) at successfully doing seemingly impossible things so long as the successful action would look sufficiently cool and/or awesome? Some GMs tend to do that and I was wondering if you were 1 of them.

Since everyone else is rolling, we may turn this into a half-half engagement. That is someone might choose to proceed directly into combat, after others decide to attempt to resolve this without conflict. I'd assume an initiative roll is required to see the order of a potential combat scenario, plus our lovely little Rogue is in a similar half-half already.

Kethan's Initiative, or rather a lack of Initiative since he's old and can't be bothered to keep up with the younger crowd: 1d20 + 0 = 16

Technically the rogue is out of his half-half, as the guards under the door apparently are the guards from upstairs. Also, since they just had a door kicked in on them hard enough to deal 10 damage each, I kind of doubt diplomacy is on the table... but then again, they are apparently profoundly stupid. A random dragonborn stranger not dressed like a noble and fresh from climbing the side of the house in the rain, just slipped out of a room that clearly belongs to someone, and 100% conned them with a 10 on a performance check. These guys are clearly dumb as the day is long.

If you guys now roll initiative, I think it would just be added to the current one.

I am assuming Crow Eater would need to dash in order to get to the area where he could see the front door. Since he's a rogue and can dash as a bonus action, he will hold his action for the time being until an enemy has reached within 5 feet of him.

Since we seem to have lost the human fighter, we're only waiting on our Wizard to roll initiative, but since she only has a 15% of rolling better than 20, I figured it was safe to post, though I can edit my post if she does go first and does something really scene changing.

My roll was 17.

@The Mighty Hero If you get a chance, would you be able to add an Init tracker to a 0th post somewhere so we can know when we're up?

Yes. I apologize for the delay guys. Real life came up (health scare with another one of my kids - who is fine by the way).

@VKAllen You are correct about dash.

I will reorganize it to have everyone listed in order but for now I have people numbered. Let me know if I missed someone somehow (I haven't rolled for Alric as he knows these people and would be hesitant to fight them until they have proven to be a threat).

Sooo... What is happening?

Likely, life.

I believe @The Grey Dust is up in init, and then it would be @The Mighty Hero, unless I misread that.

@The Mighty Hero

Are the guards still conscious after the 3 attacks?
My post requires this information.
Since if they are not an visibly appear conscious, then Kethan will tap one of the guards on the head with his staff-cane for more nonlethal damage.

Hopefully enough to knock them unconscious as he passes by and heads to the area demarcated on the map given from earlier were the Mayor's study would be. Looking for records of his shady back deals as proof. Since being Lawful neutral, he'd make sure he has some ledger or something to prove to the courts this coupe was needed. Is such an area existent or must we do a search?

Also note passive investigation of 17 from 10 + 5 + 2 such information is needed to make sense of the map/room.

If both are unconscious (or appear to be to the characters), I'll have Kethan do a Medicine check to check for consciousness. Then unless we are still in a combat encounter freely move towards the corridor and use Thaumaturgy to open the door. Because he's so used to using that cantrip to enter closed doors. I'd imagine him carrying a pile of books and walking through automatic doors.

@The Mighty Hero Mate, my intiative was 10.

This dead?

@The Mighty Hero I know you're busy, but we have to wait for you in order to post.

This dead?

Nope, just trying to get caught up with everything. I was supposed to get caught up over the weekend but was unexpectedly busy.

I know that feeling...

Yes, I will sometimes allow you to do things that may not theoretically be possible but that amuse me.
