The arena: Monster killers.

Quote from cyreon >>

I’m ok with a few potions. Potion of invulnerability is quite expensive, perhaps just a few ones of speed and healing.

How about Nadir and Count both get 1x potion of speed for an additional 400+400= 800 gp (Yoku already spent gp for one)

And 3x potions of greater healing (4d4+4) for an additional 150+150+150= 450 gp

I'd also add 2x potions of healing (2d4+2) for Ben and Yoku, 50+50= 100 gp

800+450+100= 1350 gp

I'm ready to play!

 Sounds great to me!

Let's roll!

Bueno Bueno.

the Arena this time is quite small, just a cave about 50 ft across on any direction (including up and down) with the entrance closed off. The cave is decently lit by torches in sconces along the wall  

Just inside of the blocked off entrance is a cyclops, a mage, and a nightmare hag. Roll initiative!

Assume a pre-cast of Aid at 3rd level to increase max hp for Count, Nadir and Yoku by +10.

Initiative: 4

Yoki rolls initiative 8+4

WOW! Challenge 6, oh boy!

Cyclops, Mage, and Nightmare Hag (aka Dusk Hag)

Ben wants to lend his ability to roll initiative with advantage, if that's possible 3+4

Excited to Be Here. The student has advantage on initiative rolls.

Should we win initiative, assume Dolrik casts Bless at 2nd level to bolster Ben, Count, Nadir and Yoku.

Rawrer will distract.

Also remember, everyone should be starting with +12 temporary HP from the previous Twilight Sanctuary.

Good luck everyone!

 Count initiative 7

Nadir Initiative: 17

Nadir says, "Get the ranged ones down quickly and concentrated, I'll take the melee until then." 

You guys JUST BARELY beat their average initiative of 10 with an average of 10.6 you’re up first. 

9% chance 45
(also, @nathan, Ben should now be level 4 cause he got 4000 xp as well.)

Just to double check, "level 4" equals monster +4 sidekick (spellcaster) levels?

Sidekick Spellcaster

A sidekick who becomes a Spellcaster walks the paths of magic. The sidekick might be a hedge wizard, a priest, a soothsayer, a magical performer, or a person with magic in their veins. To gain the Spellcaster class, a creature must have at least one language in its stat block that it can speak. A sidekick gains the following class features as it gains levels, as summarized on the Spellcaster table.

The Spellcaster

Rolling for Ben's increased HP 7, 4, 2

 Correct.

Looks like the Mage has ranged attacks,

Yoku casts Hunter's Mark on the Mage and fires two arrows,

Yoku Attack1, 3+16+10, damage 3+6+7
Yoku Attack2, 1+4+10, damage 4+1+7
Colossus slayer if both attacks hit for an extra 7 damage

Ben fires a magic flare at the mage as well, 3+7+4, damage 10+2

arrows 38/40, scrolls 5/5

Godric the griffin swoops in on the mage, too.

Attack: 5 Damage: 3

Attack: 17 Damage: 9

Nadir does as she said and rides straight at the Cyclops swinging her stick and rearing up her horse.

2 plus Attack: 25 Damage: 9
2 plus Attack: 14 Damage: 11

horse: Attack: 13 Damage: 6

What's the rules around taking potions again?  Action or bonus action? I know there was some healing rules too.
