You can have it when you've earned it.

[Τamamo]

Yulya has Alric's plate, the brooches and the rings. Cat threw the whistle over the palisades. She's encumbered with 100 lbs now. We need to store our loot somewhere.

[Alice]

Would I get any benefits from wearing that miner's helmet and overall? I guess not. Also I can't wear any sort of armor or shield.

[Joy]

They're just mine appropriate clothing that keeps gravel and sand out of your knickers. The helmet has a spot to put your glowstone or candle.

[Τamamo]

Can Cat pour the oil of the 4 lanterns together to get a full one?
I'm not sure where the doors are, the grey bars flanked by white dots 5 ft W of the W11 mark?

We must not waste too much time and reach the elevator. No idea if we can take the goblins out before they can sound an alarm. Cat would like to take a look N if there are more immediate threats before entering the room with the goblins.

And we need a list of items we store in the barrel!

[Joy]

>combine lanterns
Yes

>doors
Yes, that's them

>barrel

I'm good, nothing of mine

[Alice]

Yeah let's take a quick peek N and then visit our goblin friends

[Kashtan]

i offloaded 140 lbs to the barrel and there still is barely capacity! even took away Cats crossbow. its fucking heavy. i hope that ladder is worth it. weighs 25 lbs. no idea how we are gonna get any loot down the mountain without prisoners ccarrying it.

ok Yulya suggests to have Beatrice look north and if there are no enemes we assemble around the door where we heard the goblins. any idea how to get them silently? we could lure one out and grapple him. first Alice should check the door if its locked and if she can peek through a keyhole or something.

[Joy]

Once we clear this, we'll just bring the girls up to pick up what we have, or we can walk it back encumbered.

[Τamamo]

>4 bugbears
Well, now we finally have the bugbear regiment Alice talked about!
I have no idea how strong a bugbear is, despite Cat being the only one who should know about such things. And I thought Winter Wolves were summons? How do they exist without Alric?

Hmm, no idea what to do, barging in there probably isn't going to end up well, We could firebomb them if they're close together, but the ruckus would be enormous.

Can we blockade the door with a table or shelf? Does it open to the in- or outside?

[Joy]

Ulric's ability to "summon" wasn't the same as Ashley's. Different rules and effects.

[Alice]

The fuck was Danielle doing in there? Is she the stereotypical dumb blonde who only made coffee or what? How can you miss all thoye guys?

Can we at least get an overview how they are spaced out?
I also wanna know if we can blockade the door. I'd hate to waste a firebomb now already but 4 bugbears are quite a target. Not that I know what a bugbear is.
Another option is to retreat and draw them out one by one. We can't fight them all in there.

I think Cat should spread the caltrops in front of the door. I will ready my net to catch the first one. We gotta know how they are positioned and how far from the door to see if firebombing makes sense.

[Joy]

[Ashley] I'm telling you, Joy's being coy about it, but that bitch Danielle played us. She lied, omitted, whatever you want to call it. Unless these guys opened a portal and teleported in, how can you miss large bugbears? They're bigger than half-orcs.

[Joy] I don't know anything until I think it later, this way Ashley doesn't know anything. Call it whatever you want. Also, You can see that the doors open out. I'm not giving any other hints. You can't oil hinges unless you can see the hinges and you wouldn't see the hinges if the doors opened in.

>Can we at least get an overview how they are spaced out?



[Joy] The view is limited through a keyhole

>Caltrops

[Ashley] The area is well lit, you think they wouldn't see oversized jacks all over the floor?

[Joy] Caltrops cause improvised damage to anyone moving through them at normal speed and 2x that for double speed, they would have to move half speed to avoid damage so it would at least slow them down.

[Ashley] Well at least that's something.

[Kashtan]

heres what we will do.
-Cat spreads out caltrops in a line outside the door but  in some distance
- Cat opens the door
- Alice throws a firebomb in
- Cat closes the door
- Alice and Cat move away from the door.
- Yulya casts BLESS
- Yulya casts Emboldening Bond between Alice and Cat
-Yulya casts SLEEP at the door
- Ashley summons us some cats to deal with the enemy
-Bugbears storm out and into Sleep effect falling down on caltrops. Alice can incapacitate first one with the net and disarm others that fall unconscious by batting away weapons with her pole.

alternative:
we barriccate the door with two tables. then set up an ambush at the 2nd door i assume they are connected

we gotta clarify how sleep spell works theres a lot of discrepancy between 5e and 2024 edition.
now it only has 5 ft radius and 1 min duration. question is if it works on anyone who runs into the sphere for that minute. depending on Joys interpretation we will decide if sleep is effective or not.

onions?

[Joy]

>sleep

Yes, Sleep can be a cleric spell, but only for clerics of specific subclasses, such as the Twilight Domain, Blood Domain, and Night Domain clerics. Where did you get the ability to cast SLEEP?

Please consult PHB or this list for generic Cleric spells. Peace Cleric does not know SLEEP to my understanding.

Also, we are not automatically playing 5.5e simply because it exists. We are playing 5e with elements of 5.5e (2024 ed) as I see fit or as requested. I defer automatically to 5e 2014 in general.
