I dreampt I was going in for a 7 hour surgery and I was dead tired. There was a doctor and someone else, a gay male nurse? He had this huge chemistry thermometer and said, "I want to be the one who checks the temperature."

It gets crazier.

I say, "I need to go to the bathroom" they look at me strange and then say go.

This hospital has no normal bathrooms, I find a geriatric ward and the room has rows of padded toilets with dirty pads, I pull the pad off, it's in front of everyone, there's another pad with poop on it, and another and another, dozens, so many I can't even find where the water hole is. I give up and ask a lady, she tells me to go ask Joan and Anna. I go into another room, an office of women, "I'm looking for Joan or Anna about a bathroom?"

"I'm Joan," the lady says, "but I don't know where any bathrooms are, Anna is over there."

Anna looks at me and behind her is a door without a handle, just a deadbolt. She opens it with a key and there's a toilet but it's too close to the door to sit on it and shut the door.

I pass, and look for another. I find another room with a swivel toilet right out in the open and an older woman asks me what I'm doing.

I say, "I'm about to go into a 7 hour surgery and the geriatric ward toilets didn't work. I start crying but I'm not sad."

She says, "oh I know you're worried about people targeting those going to surgery" (she's talking about the radical left as if having surgery is so privileged that they need to stop all surgeries.)

I say no, "I'm just worried about people". I have no idea why I said that.

She asks, "people in general?"

Then I wake up and realized I meant I was worried about surgery.

Idk wtf

The wasps, as I described, are pushed 50ft south by the wind regardless of what direction they go. They would have to fly directly against the wind to stay North, and thus wouldn't travel West at all. The best you can get is the hypotenuse of a triangle West.

[Ashley] I get vague directions like "spam wasps" and "get out of there" I have nowhere to go, Joy said if I try to walk through a tree I will be spotted. So tell me what to do, I'll wait.

>Difficult terrain under a fir tree?

I'll forgive you since most of Europe has no trees, yes you are basically crawling under the tree, whether the terrain is difficult or not, if you're crawling it's half speed.

Also let me save you a little waste here, whether you use a stink bomb or smoke, it will only last one turn because of the wind. For the purposes of Vanilla reasoning, 21+mph wind will disburse any cloud in 1 turn. The wind here is approaching 50mph in gusts. The stink or smoke will be completely ineffective.

Cat has a higher stealth which includes scent, the troll has enhanced scent perception and rolled poorly and the cutoff just happened to be enough to smell only Ashley and Yulya. Frankly I couldn't remember where you wanted the troll to go or not, I let the dice decide that.

Ashley stays put and send another buzzer south.

Alice moves 10FT West.

[I suppose I know where your tunnels are and will note them personally if it comes up. There's no snow under the trees to tunnel, just so you know.]

Yulya casts SHIELD OF FAITH on Alice to raise her AC

[I am allowing multiple concentration spells though this is technically not Vanilla. Note that if Yulya is hit, she will lose concentration on this spell.]

Cat lays in wait

[This is why I thought surprise should have a free attack and initiative because couldn't you save your turn, but vanilla says no, you can't save up a move from one round to the next, it is forfeit if you take no action on the turn, I will however automatically give you parry so if someone tries to attack you, parry will block it within the damage of your biggest melee weapon for melee attacks, it doesn't apply to ranged attacks. I am also allowing advantage if you retain surprise obviously. I am also guaranteeing initiative, so no roll was necessary. So far you have a good chance not to be spotted though every time you move there's a chance to be seen. They can't see you if you're behind full cover and they can't hear your footsteps because of the blizzard like conditions, they also can't hear the dragon wasps but they will hear anything bigger.]

The wind gust causes any lateral move Beatrice makes to move as much South.

[She made it 25ft North of the Northwest wall corner.]

The hooded crossbowman continues to look out for anyone.

The Troll hears the wasp and moves North instead of following Alice's trail East. He closes the distance, though she's slightly obscured from the crossbowman, the troll is able to swing at her with his crossbow as an 2-size up improvised weapon.
 
[HIT vs AC10 1d20+7=CR][Hidden rolls] The troll easily smashes Beatrice like swatting a fly, she pops out of existence again. He sticks his nose in the air and is able to smell Ashley and Yulya.

[You notice that with his size, the Troll is free to move normally and is not slowed by the snow.]



[This ends Round 2 if no one else has any further moves. Currently you have initiative as default.]

[Joy] oh ho...

[Ashley] Something tells me you can't one-shot the troll but I'll keep spamming buzzers, just tell me when and where you want Nixie, she can only go so fast.

To be fair, as it was brought up in this discussion, the original vanilla rules don't fit perfectly with this style of playthrough though I freely admit some things I took liberty with for my own preferences.

I am not going to take offense by your statement but just remember that your "tupper's" mental wellbeing depends partly on your statements here.

Yulya can involve herself in as much of the choosing in the function of this spell as long as it doesn't involve pausing the game after every hit in case something needs to be decided.

[Ashley] Kashtanistan, be nice to Joy ffs, she does a lot of work to do whatever it is we are doing here...

Never thought I'd have to defend Joy, but it is always at least an hour to do all that and this is the Bear brain so if it's not fun it's going to die for sure. I'm looking forward to this mine, it was a lot of work to set up.
