Maybe we can befriend doggo. It looks very tameable. Druid where u at? xD
There is the usual druid shit and then there is this :D It probably don't want my berries.
ON OUR NEXT TURN LET'S ALL PET THE DOG
surprise attack of snuggles
There are 2 heads to pet.
Just now seeing this. Sorry to have missed so much of the OOC thread.
This is an amazing idea. DD is now the party’s pet. We leave fish boy confused in the dungeon, and the party goes to have drinks. DD needs two though, one for each head.
Next day, we take DD to local vet to cure that nasty disease and make him a healthy puppy. DD then becomes a local celebrity, allowing him a discount at the tavern (helpful with two mouths) and many pats.
Fish remains in dungeon, grumpy and confused as to what happened.
yessss we shall make the dog our pet. he's our mascot now very Scooby Doo style. We should call him DD and give him a collar and solve mysteries togther. Ruh-roh

Okay, the world presents some problems and we don't know what to do / You've come to find your feelings aren't exactly what you knew.
Chin up! / Don't bet on sinking ships because they'll turn your chips to trash. / You've got to set your sights and hopes on setting not to crash!
The truth can seem quite bleak if you don't make your plans unfurl / But I would not let that mar my opinion of the world!
Geez, really just wanted to praise our DM, but turned out weird.
Now for the second part of asserting dominance - I'm fluent in 3 languages and learning a 4th - basically an average Eastern European :D
All jokes aside - Really not planning to leave any time soon (Unless hell dog specifies otherwise).
Dangggg bro big flex
Haha nah though that's real cool. I'm tutoring this Ukrainian guy and he knows like 3 languages too and I'm like how?! All the time people come up to me speaking Spanish and I just stare completely confused like sorry I don't understand
Honestly don't know why is it like that outside of Europe. We take languages here for granted I guess.
3 languages is a standard for EVERYONE of my generation in Latvia. Latvian as a native language, English as second (depends from school, starts between kindergarten and 3rd grade), and Russian/German/French (choose one that's available) as third at the 6th grade. I have the Latvian/English/Russian combo. If you went to a special class in high school from year 10 to 12, you could take 4th language. That's just out of high school. Some learn more in university, some don't. And right now I'm learning Finnish.
My 4 year old son learns English almost a year now, so he will probably have "native level" veeeery quickly.
Anyway - as far as I remember from my neurobiology courses in Uni, if small child (kindergarten small) starts learning a new language brain uses "native language" storing/learning mechanisms, so you basically have 2 languages that are at super level.

No way that is a whole lot of language! I've been learning Spanish since kindergarten, but I've never fully learned it which is disappointing. At least for a while I was stubborn in NOT wanting to learn it. They had the option of learning Mandarin in 6th grade which I thought was cooler, but was placed in Spanish instead. I've been taking Spanish lessons in college right now and yeah nope nothing sticks. I don't know if it's a 'just me' thing.

Being forced to speak some sort of language usually fortifies it quite a bit.
For me Russian was quite poor, but in my first serious job my boss was an expat and the only language that was common to both of us was Russian. Now I'm quite fluent, but it took 3 years of just speaking in short weird sentences until it clicked.
Maybe you too need to just "Donde esta la biblioteca" for a while in a very uncomfortable setting. Or hook up with a latina.
We're getting some bad rolls to start this fight. I've only rolled one double-digit attack roll so far.
I think part of the reason Europeans learn more languages is necessity. I live in Dallas, in one of the "border states" of America, and I'm still over 400 miles away from the nearest country that speaks a different language. The closest French speakers are either in Montreal or the Caribbean, each over a thousand miles from me.
My wife and I do travel a lot (last year I increased my total to 30 foreign countries), so I'm trying to learn as many languages as I can through Rosetta Stone to get ready for our retirement travels in 2026. I'm getting a good grasp on Spanish, and took some French in high school, but for our first big retirement trip I'm going to need some Japanese, so I'm looking at that next.
Yeehaw. My dad (Colombian) lived in Dallas for a while when he was younger before moving back to NY.
I guess yeah forcing myself to do it would be practical, but I feel like every time I try to say something in Spanish I don't have the words or I forget the tenses. My friend who lives in a Spanish-speaking household still doesn't know it fluently and her parents don't really know English that well either. I feel like learning it is just hard sometimes. I'm tutoring kids in English and I can barely explain past perfect and participles. I don't know how people do it. I've thought about Duolingo but I don't know if I feel like doing it, ya know?

Need those bardic inspirations I guess. Anyway - if DM havent tweaked AC of that pupper, then I will land quite big hit.
The dice gods seem to feel the need to make the fight more suspenseful. Shall we place bets who dies first? :D
I love language learning! Sadly I don't spent enough time on it. Since we are sharing: Native German, English/Latin/Spanish package at school, then some Japanese and Italian in my free time. Still working on Spanish and recently took an interest in sign language. I have some Japanese and Italian knowledge as well, but those projects are paused. Interestingly enough I was always quite bad at English in school and then one day I was suddenly fluent. Magic I tell you.
Finnish, so beautiful! Always wanted to pick it up but other languages always just seemed more useful/common/relevant to my life.
From my experience you just can't learn a language in a classroom. Duolingo I feel is better for beginners or to kill time. Rosetta stone hmm... one day...
I restarted Rosetta Stone during Covid lockdown and saw that they had a deal on their web site. $179 gets you lifetime access to all 40 of their languages. Seemed like a good deal to me, and it's a neat way to learn. It's all pictures and sound, no written words at all, and everything is in the other language. From the moment you start "Mexico/Caribbean Spanish" for example, all the spoken words are in Spanish, and you combine that with the pictures they show you to learn and repeat the language. Pretty cool.
They even have Klingon and Dothraki for people who want to fully nerd-out.

Oh no way? That's a good deal. Bet my dad would've loved Klingon lol. That's interesting the way they do it. That would be pretty helpful since there's no way around it. Most of the time in Spanish I used a translator to help me say what I wanted. SpanishDict for the winnnn

@Bird94, Yaudara won't be able to cast Blade Ward as a bonus action again until after a long rest. He has already done that twice in this encounter. Being able to cast that cantrip as a bonus action is granted by his ability, Merge with Stone, and is limited to twice per long rest.
Yaudara can still cast the cantrip, Blade Ward, but he can only do do if he spends an action.
I need to learn some good insults for Viscous Mockery. I'm too nice of a person to come up with anything good, especially for a doggo (even an angry, bitey one).

Tempting, tempting... HMM *resist* 2 When I check, it tells me only 25 languages though. Witchcraft!
Google Translate is a very handy app for navigating other languages.

Ah, thanks. I'd forgotten it was tied to my race.
I guess spam spam spam spam Blade Ward spam spam and spam is no longer on the menu.
Wow. Just barely hit and killed a walking fish. My paladin is not distinguishing himself in the early going.
I need to learn some good insults for Viscous Mockery. I'm too nice of a person to come up with anything good, especially for a doggo (even an angry, bitey one).
If only. Gotta find something else to spam as a bonus action every turn.
Decided to call him a Bad Dog. It was at least funny.
