I believe I do have a means for magic users to learn spells but it must be a spell you are capable of casting. I think other than cantrips, Yulya knows every spell she's ever going to learn unless she wants to give up being a peace cleric. If peace clerics were meant to know sleep then they would know it. In my opinion sleep sounds like something a peace cleric should know instead of anything doing necrotic damage but I didn't design the class and subclass.

In other words, no, but everything is a negotiation.

[Joy]

My interpretation of the rules for ball bearings and caltrops this time is:

Ball bearings were spread in a 10x10 area not a 10ft square area.
Caltrops were placed in a 5x5 area by the door.
Caltrops will do improvised damage to applicable enemies, that's 1d4 whenever entering a square that has them at normal speed and 2d4 dashing. Caltrops will not cause damage to certain enemies or those wearing certain gear. There was a DC15 intelligence check for perception to notice them in this area. This will not stop their movement.

Ball bearings have a DC10 chance to cause the enemies to fall prone per square if they move through them at normal or dash speed. Their speed becomes zero the rest of the turn.

Any enemy that sees them can warn the others if they are capable of speech and the others are capable of understanding.

Why didn't Ashley move Beatrice or summon another wasp? She's not exactly helpful up there. She could have potentially stung the bugbear as soon as he opened the door.

[Joy]

In essence she is waiting because of the noise her summons make, especially Nixie. In her mind, she wanted to possibly use the noise shock of Nixie against them once they're exposed, which I will consider.

Beatrice is in a position within striking range once the enemies are exposed. It was Ashley's opinion that sending the "buzzer girl" over now would be suicidal rather than a distraction.

[Ashley] look, we have initiative but to lure them into the trap we shouldn't pin them in, but you know, you guys do whatever. I'd like to see where we're at before I decide. Beatrice isn't exactly significant damage but might at least be a distraction. I'm still considering my options.

Round 0 she could have summoned or buffed Beatrice, and beause she didn't, I would allow a carry over into Round 1 as a reaction, though because she didn't explicitly state that, so instead if she acts before anyone else takes a turn then I'll allow it. Turn zero, everyone moved and performed an action except her so she can take her turn at any point as long as it occurs before she learns of any results from your turns in Round 1. It's fair that she learns what you were planning on doing as you all are in communication and strategic planning without her.

[Alice]

I hate to tell you but there's no strategic planning. No trap either. You're not left out because there's nothing. I know of no plan other than what's written here and that means running. Tamamo told you to bring over the wasp and summon another. You didn't. What else do you want?
Damn I should just have thrown a firebomb in there. Joy made the mistake of telling us there's 6 bugbears and 2 wofls with her rolls. How are we supposed to fight them? We have no AOE weapons now that firebombs are a big no-no. 2 arrows and one cantrip won't stop them and they can easily pass through the caltrops and ball bearings.

[Joy]

I offer you this card to win the encounter.



You're welcome.

[Joy]

Also, since you all are so good, I had to age up the dragon. I wouldn't want the final boss of this  first campaign to be anticlimactic.

[Alice]

We already determined to poison it with Dragon Pellets so it will peacefully die in its den like a slug.

We really need smoke bombs and poison gas. I can hold my breath for 1h as plasmoid. No other living breathing creature could compete with me in a smoked-out dungeon. I still haven't giving up in completely ruining the game. Dungeons need to be cleared with fire, water or poison.

So Net question!
I have a net but no proficiency as it's a fucking Martial ranged weapon! Also apparently you always have Disadvantage when throwing it because you're either too close or too far away. Actually the net would be best for Ashley. Pacifists can throw nets, right? Especially when they have no other actions to take in a turn. Cat is the only one proficient with the net but she has other things to do. Like beating netted opponents to death.

Well, I actually bought it to seal off passages by fixing it with pitons and preventing enemies from escaping. But it's actually quite effective when thrown. But not by me. At least not until Cat teaches me how to use that thing.

[Joy]

>throw something

Nope, sorry,  I'm just a gurl teeheehee.



[Joy] You will need to rest to change martial weapon proficiency.

[Kashtan]

who needs firebombs or a fucking net when we can blow everything up? now that's insane but I really like Ashley's idea its hilarious. lets overlook Yulyas focus is not in her backpack but in her belt pouch before this turns into a yuri episode

ok so we have our trap but we gotta lure them out nicely
could have said that before and we would have Yulya storm in there allahu snackbar style lol. the hell are you doing with my peace cleric tupper turning her into a suicide bomber?

[Joy]

Get in there then silver barb trigger out. Forget the bearings and caltrops, slide in like it's 2nd base, or just fly, let's do this. you just need line of sight and the door's open. Too bad we didn't think about this when Alice was looking in, you could have done it with the door shut even.

[Joy]

[Kashtan]

well here goes nothing. we would have waited until they all come out but ok
