Don't make things complicating.
Open the tent, we can't have it damaged. You can heal but we can't repair the tent. Throw the stink bomb and punch one dog. Cat will activate Rage and attack the dogs with her claws. Ashley will summon Nixie. Yulya will cast Toll the Dead.

yeah thats the best option i guess. the tent is more important than people. they can be healed.
Yulya could have autocast Guidance on anyone to boost rolls. we keep forgetting that. i still dont see why they couldnt keep the fire going theyd freeze to death without the heated rocks.

I rolled the chances that you could maintain it be considering the lack of an elevated platform, the lack of dry wood, and the lack of shelter from the wind and accumulating snow which is 1 ft/8 hours. Given the conditions, you had to abandon the fire with the rocks you had and the warmth of those and combined body heat was enough according to the best educated guess I had. This is hard mode, and you're level 3 now so expect difficulty to ramp up in myriad ways.



Also, you seem to have forgotten that casting bless on Ashley will spread to her summons.

I didn't know that either! At this pace we keep forgetting more than we're learning. Should have cast Bless in our last fight too. Ok, then cast it on Ashley, I'll use Hand of Harm. The Ki points are restored after a short rest anyway.

I have a question about Sentinel. So how does that work since we have no rounds (sigh...)?
If anyone attacks me while I'm within 5ft of Cat, and I assume the dog will, she has an opportunity attack against that enemy. Does that mean she has 2 attacks? How is this handled?

Thank goodness!

I wanted to do this but my host convinced me it would not affect Ashleys summons. I have changed my post to include Ashley. I hope this is ok.

>is ok?
is ok

>Sentinel

-SENTINEL: (TRIGGER REACTION) YOU HAVE MASTERED TECHNIQUES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERY DROP IN ANY ENEMY'S GUARD, GAINING THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:
1. WHEN YOU HIT A CREATURE WITH AN OPPORTUNITY ATTACK, THE CREATURE'S SPEED BECOMES 0 FOR THE REST OF THE TURN.

This rarely happens in any case as I'm controlling the enemies and I know this, so I don't trap myself.

2. CREATURES WITHIN 5 FEET OF YOU PROVOKE OPPORTUNITY ATTACKS FROM YOU EVEN IF THEY TAKE THE DISENGAGE ACTION BEFORE LEAVING YOUR REACH.

Yeah, I think I forgot to document when the werewofl left Cat's reach, she missed.

3. ONCE PER TURN, WHEN A CREATURE WITHIN 5 FEET OF YOU MAKES AN ATTACK AGAINST A TARGET OTHER THAN YOU (AND THAT TARGET DOESN'T HAVE THIS FEAT), YOU CAN USE YOUR REACTION TO MAKE A MELEE WEAPON ATTACK AGAINST THE ATTACKING CREATURE.

This hasn't happened yet.

>we have no rounds
We have rounds

>If anyone attacks me while I'm within 5ft of Cat, and I assume the dog will, she has an opportunity attack against that enemy. Does that mean she has 2 attacks? How is this handled?

You are within 5ft of the wofl outside the tent, Cat is within 5ft of you, she needs to be within 5ft of the dog, and that won't happen unless the dog is inside the tent with you. If the dogs enter and attack anyone but her, then she will have an opportunity attack on the first one of them who attacks anyone but her and is within 5ft of her. The tent is a little more than 5x5, not quite 10x10 in any case technically the dogs can't enter the tent without it being opened or ripped open.

Considering you're at the entrance, they'll all be clambering to enter and probably attack you.

Wow, that was over quickly! So far so good but we must protect our spellcasters better, especially Ashley!
We should make sure Alice is always at the entrance as first responder followed by Cat.
But I feel our teamwork improves and we have massive healing capacity.

Heh, that deflection was fun!
If all those things are too much for Cat, I can hone her blade. But I don't wanna ruin it. And I don't wanna hear complaints from Ashley either! We won't let the wounded go untreated while we have massive unused healing capacity!

Also I propose a change.
When I am in blob form, I shouldn't be able to communicate, at least not clearly. I am also willing to take a weapon proficiency penalty. Shooting a bow in this form is rather absurd. We can say that I am not proficient in monk weapons, only my unarmed strike while I am a blob. Shape Self takes an action so when I am surprised while asleep it's a disadvantage.
It likely won't happen otherwise unless I'm downed. Even if I am healed, reshaping will cost an action.

I will spend more time in blob shape once I reach the acidic viscous form. But I'm not gonna spoiler that. Joy will hate it.

>Alice blob

Now that my account name is so aggressive, I feel like I need to be nicer.

I can't say I won't mess it up but please do what you think is right. I'll try to keep track of it.

fukken saved!
When host was a kid he dad a neighbor cat lite that. She didn't hit people but relentlessly attacked the garden hose. She must have thought it's a snake.

Also imgur Niggers deleted my naked Alice image. This isn't Freedom!

Every time you say the N-word, you need to autocorrect it to Radical Leftist Terrorist. Black people aren't the problem here.
