[OOC] D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

[Lucius Cypher]

I think I still have a javelin I could hurl at him, or my rarely used hatchet. Not good for throwing but 30 feet won’t be enough for me to reach em, so what the hey

[Hekazu]

That is a kill, @Lucius Cypher.

Unless anyone has something against it, I will be proceeding to move the party back to Greenest. Whether or not you want to roleplay out the night-time trek, by successfully rescuing the Monk you have reached the second milestone. I welcome you to the 3rd level, @The Harbinger of Ferocity@Lucius Cypher@Norschtalen@Gordian Nought@Ryonara. My post should follow tomorrow or the day after. Feel free to notify me when your level-ups are complete so I may review the changes so I can be up to date on your capabilities!

@Hekazu

Orchid wants to try to collect weapons from the cultists, including his sword of course. And armor if they have anything. May as well grab the robes too while we’re at it.

@Lucius Cypher

I will point out that most of the bodies are on the back of horses running wild. Most of them seem to be turning back towards the camp. You will be able to recover your machete and javelin from the one non-riding body without giving chase, as well as traditional leather armour and one set of dragonclaw's robes. No money on the body, strangely enough.

[Lucius Cypher]

Hmm. Any chance Orchid could catch at least one of those horses on foot?

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

A tremendous victory all the same to advance to the next level after all of the camp business. That said, the moontouched paladin should be correctly advanced now for your review, @Hekazu. On a related note, it is quite nice to see him with the oath - if really only in name at the moment. At least it is tangible progress all the same. Regarding my say in returning to Greenest, I have nothing in particular to add aside from Brannor returning to his human form after this combat and some time in the woods trekking back to the town.

[Hekazu]

A chance, yes. A slim one, given they are much faster animals than you, but you may be able to exceed your limits if you try hard enough. Give me a CON(Athletics) check (which looks like a +4) for whether you can push yourself to the limit long enough to catch up to one, if you will try and do the mad dash @Lucius Cypher.

[Hekazu]

Huh, I'll have to admit I was looking to receive more updated character sheets by now. And before I can really move you forward, I do need that roll @Lucius Cypher. If I don't have it by tomorrow afternoon, I'll be rolling it for you and writing the results accordingly to not delay things further.

[Lucius Cypher]

@Hekazu

Sorry for the lateness and yeah.... Dunno if a 5 (nat 1) is going to cut it. Win some you lose some.

[Ryonara]

Yeah I don't have much for Parum to do aside from maybe ask Brannor some questions about his whole transformation thing, and possibly talk to Leosin about what he knows as we return to Greenest. Also I don't suppose there's a shortbow among our pursuers?

[Hekazu]

Also I don't suppose there's a shortbow among our pursuers?

@Ryonara

Not on the one body you were able to recover, given Orchid failed to catch up to anyone else.

[Norschtalen]

I think Kyra has an extra one @Ryonara, though obviously not on her person since she has her father's longbow. I can lend it to you when we reach Greenest.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

@Ryonara, assuming @Hekazu permits, we could get a brief word in mid way on the trek back about the nature of the paladin. Not a long scene, something I do not envision as more than a post or two each, but that all depends on just how hastily that might be accomplished. Alternatively it could be done in a flashback format to the discussion while in the present tense of having arrived back to the keep of the city.

[Hekazu]

@Ryonara@The Harbinger of Ferocity

You are welcome to have an IC talk on the way back. Whether you'll want to do it now or retroactively is all the same to me, though if you want to have it prior to the DM post you should inform me of that decision within the next ten hours or so. I can wait, especially so since I have still only received one update on the level up department. @Ryonara@Norschtalen@Lucius Cypher@Gordian Nought, how about your level threes?

[Gordian Nought]

I have decided. Storm Sorcerer. Level 1 Dip.

Gains Tempestuous Magic and Windspeaker.

4 cantrips.
Lightning Lure
Booming Blade
Frostbite
Shocking Grasp.

Level 1 spells:
Shield
Disguise Self.

[Gordian Nought]

Wil update CS, soon.

[Lucius Cypher]

@Hekazu

Oh right, I decided to go into another level of barbarian, Totem Warrior of course. In my n cat post I might have Orchid do a little self-reflection about his previous training as he tries to run with the beasts.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

@Ryonara, there's enough time in the rest period for Parum to pose her questions, so do feel free to add those in and I will treat them retroactively.

[Ryonara]

Also I didn't know if we were suppose to tell you or not, but @Hekazu Parum is taking another level in Bard and chooses the college of Lore. For her expertise skills she's chosen Persuasion and Stealth, and for her bonus proficiency she choose Deception, Perception, and Stealth.

[Lucius Cypher]

Hell of a day man, hell of a day. I’ll try to get a post up sometime tonight/tomorrow.
