I think my digital dice are weighted because even with rolling at advantage and another roll of a d4 again I only got 1 higher on my to-hit and I'm sad.
Oh no! Very hostile. I will refrain from dumping too much salt in the wound by specifying exactly how close you were to landing a hit on this one, but ... RIP.
And just a quick heads up that I'm planning to have a post up later today resolving this round, in case those of you who haven't posted this round yet want to jump in with a turn! (And if you have any questions, of course don't hesitate to let me know.)
For the record, depending on how your characters end up handling the fleeing kobold, etc, we'll either keep things going in combat rounds, or we'll settle into something more freeform as you all figure out next steps. :)
Just as a note, since it looks like we're moving out of our very first combat -- though of course, if anyone shows up and wants to make a different decision, that's also absolutely fine! -- I just want to clarify that as we do so, you're welcome to post more freeform now: whenever you want, as much as you want and makes sense to you, etc. (as long as you're still about hitting that once per 48 hours minimum, life exceptions very much aside), without regard to any specific turn-based format. We're in our vibes era!
And just to set this post-combat scene, while you're all considering what to do next, as well as meeting (or reuniting!) with each other: There are currently three unconscious kobolds lying on the ground nearby the main party; smoke is still clearing from whatever that massive explosion was (you only know that it came from the western path, but not exactly where or what it was, beyond "close"); the dead kobold has just mysteriously exploded next to Xintris, injuring them a bit and leaving lots of exploded kobold bits across the field; and the cloaked figure is no longer in sight, including for Harliblith, who seems to have lost their trail. (And Harliblith specifically is beginning to witness a couple figures emerging from nearby buildings to take a look at the scene; she's now about sixty feet southeast of the group with a few buildings in between, neither currently in eyesight of each other.)
And if you have any questions, or are wondering about any possibilities, I'm happy to help! (And if you have thoughts you want to share in OOC with one another, that's great, too.)
FYI I'm taking off with the fam on a road trip starting Saturday. Formally will be back on July 8. I'll have my ipad, may get a post in here or there but def will be limited these next 2 weeks
@Vet, thanks for the heads up, and I hope you have a really nice time! If there’s anything in particular you want to make sure Cy’s doing in the background, or if you check in and want to do / say something but don’t have time to make a post, feel free to just let me know or post here and I’ll be sure it gets included in some way.
Also, @Clod, if you wouldn’t mind making one more stealth check as Harliblith creeps back in the direction of the battlefield?
Just a heads up, I've got family visiting today through Thursday. I will try to chime in if I can, but please do not wait for me to move on. I will be back Friday at the latest!
Initiative for Luma: 21
As we near the end of our very fist round of combat (!!), here's our current initiative/turn update:
Luma: 21 initiative (cast sacred flame)
Cy: 18 initiative (cast mage hand)
Cloaked figure: 18 initiative (moved, held action)
Kobolds: 15 initiative (all 5 moved, attacking Jojo, Cy, Xintris, Luma)
Harliblith: 11 initiative (hiding, no further action/movement)
Nemira: 9 initiative (cast bane on kobold #4 and kobold #2)
Jojo: 7 initiative (attacked kobold #5)
Xintris: 3 initiative (attacked kobold #3)
I'll have a post up for you all resolving everyone's turns this evening at the latest! :)
Just for the ease of those who follow Nemira in initiative, a quick note that that hit will be enough to knock K4 unconscious.
I think my digital dice are weighted because even with rolling at advantage and another roll of a d4 again I only got 1 higher on my to-hit and I'm sad.

16 acrobatics (sorry i was supposed to make that roll like a couple days ago i think)

Perception - 22
Perception: 17
Perception 15
Perception 15
Perception 14
@Clod, go ahead and roll a persuasion check as well.
OOPS I keep forgetting to check here. Rolled a 20 on perception

Thanks for the FYI, Ares -- I hope you have a great time with the family! :)
