Tests and Trials Game Thread

((Well, at least we can tell if there are any paths the drow don't take.))

Cladmir, knowing that he won't do much good as a scout in the dark would simply not volunteer to check it out.

"Sure, I can try.  There sure is lots of dust."

Perception: 4

(Oh, my!)

Jaq takes a few steps into the tunnel, looking mostly ahead, when a bit of ceiling falls into his eye. It isn't blinding, but it is distracting as he works to blink it away and takes another step forward. He does feel something tighten briefly around his leg before he hears the all too familiar popping of a pair of crossbow bolts being fired.

Attack 1: 12 Damage: 6

Attack 2: 15 Damage: 3

The first bolt clatters off the ceiling but the second hits the elf right in the thigh.

((Con save, gotta be a 7 or it is nap time. Again.

Jaq is 20' in at this point, so you can all see him if you look around the corner.))

((20' and it's a straight shot back a ways, yes?))

"We need to be able to see them! Lurn, you can only light one thing up at a time, right? If you light up a javelin, I can chuck it down there and see if we can flush them!"

((Yep, 20' in and a straight shot the rest of the way to the cavern.

That said, if Mikram is looking in he would let you know he doesn't see any drow all the way to what he would say is the cavern.))

((So Jaq is 20' in, and if Mik doesn't see them, they're another 80' beyond Jaq? The rolls are garbled, but show it as advantage (due to them being beyond Jaq's sight?), but if they're using hand crossbows, wouldn't that be beyond their short range increment, so disadvantage for a flat roll? (I'm trying Jaq!) :D ))

((Ya, nah. They were just flat rolls, no advantage or disadvantage. Just to explain:))

Either Jaq, or whomever comes to drag his sleeping body away, notice a pair of hand crossbows webbed into a few shallow recesses in the tunnel wall near the floor. A look at the crossbow's triggers show that a thin strand of webbing was wrapped around both.

(Is Protection from Poison still up for him, or has that expired?)

If Jaq happens to fall asleep from the poison Cladmir will attempt to do his best to *sneak* out there and pull him back to safety.

Stealth:  16

Otherwise Cladmir will hold position and wait until someone finds a way to get some light down that tunnel.

Con save: 4

Second save, in case he gets adv from prot from poison still being up: 19

Lurn can light up a javelin for Kroshav as he wants, but he's gonna have to light his shield again before we can actually go to wherever it's thrown, considering uneven tunnel in unfamiliar territory.

((If it can light them up, Joe might be able to tag them with a firebolt and drive them deeper.))

((Forgot about the protection from poison!))

Jaq is pretty sure he is inured to drow poison at this point. It tingles a bit but mostly the focus is on pain from the bolt itself that draws the attention and waters the eyes. At least it clears the grit.

From his current position Jaq can't see any drow ahead but as he stands there he does notice some very large cracks above him in the ceiling he is pretty sure weren't there last time.

On request, Joe gets a javelin burning a bit for Kroshav and waits for the dragonborn to toss it so she can try and give it a further boost.

"No Drow I can see from here.  I did, stupidly, set off a trap though."  he sighs.  "I'm ok."  

"I think you can all safely come up to where I am and see this."

When they get up closer he points out the ceiling.  "I think that is what we started last time with the attempted cave in, looks like we might have to continue to work on that."

((Joe's got slots, but doesn't look like shatter is prepared today?))

Mikram gazes up at the ceiling and grumbles to himself before saying to Lurn,

"Aye'm not an expert, but aye'd wager that isn't something we need to worry about today unless we plan on more big explosions."

He looks down the tunnel,

"Still don't see any drow down there but aye'd wager that drow didn't run down here and trap himself."

((She doesn't but she can, I have think that was the plan the night before so she'd have likely prepared it.))

((Oh can I get a d100 roll from @Spider, @Row and @Cladmir please.))
