Liber lets Mialee know he doesn't think he's got any spells that will help, and that he can't see in the dark, so he climbs back up the ladder until he can reach the lantern, and brings it back down with him.

Round 2 (12 seconds elapsed)

Caterpillar B: 19
Caterpillar A: 12
Mialee: 9  <---<<
Liber: 11  <---<<
Caterpillar C: 6
Caterpillar D: 5

Liber first does an investigation of the room : (17 investigate), then does a quick recall on the caterpillars (17 nature), then does detect magic in case the game has a magic rigging in place.

"i'm looking in case there's magic afoot, either in the room, or in the little creatures." he then attempts to spot the caterpillars 9 perception

Liber gets the lantern and doesn't spot any caterpillars in the starting room (round 1).

He thinks back to what he knows of the caterpillars, and besides them being able to secrete the silk that Madam Kulp presumably uses for her fabrics, they aren't particularly skilled at hiding, though the cluttered rooms give them plenty of places to scurry out of sight. Nor are they particularly fast, though he does recall them being able to climb pretty well. He looks up, but doesn't spot any there either. (round 2, moving?)

Round 2 (12 seconds elapsed)

Mialee: 9  <---<<
Liber: 11 
Caterpillar C: 6
Caterpillar D: 5

((Liber Round 3, cast detect magic, round 4, look for caterpillars.))

Mialee, now determined to search more effectively with no splinters, Checks the two armchairs by the door and then the bookcase, if all three can fit in one search action (if not, she checks the armchairs first, as she believes the plush caterpillars must like the soft fabrics).

17

Second roll in case I have disadvantage- since Liber brought the lantern, I'm guessing its a straight roll, but just in case. 15

Once she's checked the armchairs, she moves over to the other armchair and the barrel, opening the door on the way.

"Liber, can you check the first room? I'll take these."

Mixtli looks at the prawns in the water and doesn't think fire will do the trick so he throws a chaos bolt on the one Trencher attacked, hoping that the damage is a type that won't damage the product.

Attack: 25 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

Unable to parse dice roll., so: Unable to parse dice roll.

3rd time is the charm: 15 + Unable to parse dice roll.

Will choose psychic damage, and finally also the d6: Unable to parse dice roll.

Used a d6 in gamelog that was a 2 so total of 17 Psychic damage on hit roll of 25.

"all right then."

(liber's 4th round will be looking in the first room.)

Mixtli sends a warbling blast into the tank in front of Trencher, and the prawn goes limp.

"Hope that didn't affect the taste! Prawn's done with half their time left, beans still to go, but I bet they could go for a double batch! Whatdya say, folks!"

There's a cheer from the crowd, that would apparently indeed like to see double giant shrimpcakes get made.

Mialee does a thorough search of the dark room (Liber had not joined her in that room with the lantern), but doesn't spot any caterpillars. She throws open the door to the north, and finds another oddly shaped room filled with clutter.

Liber joins Mialee in the second room and casts a spell to be able to pick up on any traces of magical trickery, but nothing additional reveals itself to him.

Round 3 (18 seconds elapsed)

Caterpillar B: 19
Caterpillar A: 12
Liber: 11 
Mialee: 9  <---<<
Caterpillar C: 6
Caterpillar D: 5

((Liber round 4, look for caterpillars in the first room.))

Pushing off and doing a bit of flutter kick in the water, Trencher swims the few feet to the other magically lit critter and swings at it with his axe.

Battle axe attack: 20

Bless bonus: 3

Damage: 15

Trencher hacks into the critter, which batters at him with its appendages, while the other two swim to the north side of the tank (Trencher would have an opp att vs one of them).

Prawn Slap: 21 Damage: 7

"We got this, guys!", Prasong says encouragingly, while trying to focus on not taking off a finger.

Cleaver: 3 Damage: 4

There's a vicious smack of crustacean on dwarf, and Prasong again takes his eyes of the task at hand, this time cutting himself deep and getting woozy on his feet as he bleeds all over the second table. Two assistants run up and catch him before he swoons, and start applying first aid, but he's out of the competition. 

"You got this guys!", he slurs woozily.

((Poor Prasong, his buddies aren't going to let him live it down if he tanks the competition for you!))

Mixtli calls out to Tanador if he needs help with the beans. If he does he moves there, if not he'll attack the lit shrimp with a dagger attack.

Attack: 15 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

((Do we need to take the shrimp out of the water to the tables?))

((Nope, the assistants will get it out, you just needed to slay a prawn, and chop enough beans in <40 seconds. Tanador (and Prasong) are ~2/3 of the way through the beans needed for a single batch. If you were able to crank out enough for a double batch, you'd be legendary (for a short while, at least).))

(no, not taking AOO.  Does that slap damage go to half due to rage? I'm not sure what type of damage that is)

((Yeah, halved, so I think that's 5 taken so far?))

Tandor feels torn.  His helper has badly injured himself and needs healing but is being seen too and the competition continues.

"Yes! Come down and help!"

Bean Attack: Attack: 12 Damage: 5

Mixtli is able to make it to Tanador's station across from him, away from the blood, and can join in on bean work. Tanador barely gets through the beans he has to hand. 

((Mixtli, Roll a proficient DEX attack at advantage, 1d6 damage.))

Total Bean HP: 11
