Ok, the internet is back and order has been returned to the household. 😁
Another day like that, and I think we would've gone feral. I know how I used to exist without internet, but dang... we've really built our society around constant online access. It gave me time to fire up my old XBOX 360 and catch up on video game time though. I've been doing a Borderlands run in anticipation of the release of Borderlands 4. All Sirens (when the class is available) and I've been puttering around on the DLC for B1. I finally finished the last of the B1 DLC as Lilith, and am about to take on the role of Maya in Borderlands 2. I haven't decided who I'm going to play in Pre-Sequel, because there isn't a Siren available for one. But the closest equivalent would be The Baroness, but I've never had any interest in playing her before. I suppose that's why I've played every class but her. Still... one step at a time.

Yea, I dropped the major social media outlets at the beginning ing the year (ahem). I’ve found myself with actual time on my hands. I’ve been working on a Mando helmet and I think I might be regaining my attention span?
Hrothbert_Neruca even with the successful Acrobatics check, your maximum movement speed (25') won't allow you to get close enough to hit the kobolds with the spell's range (15' cone). I'm assuming Merkas would know that, and (unless you have some way to move faster while casting a spell) might have chosen a different path.
Would you like to retcon your turn, or are you RP'ing that you're just guessing about their approximate location and missing?
If I'm wrong, I'll gladly yield to RAW. But from what I can tell, Color Spray has a limited range of 15' from the caster, so you'll need to get at least 5' closer to hit the front row, 10' to get all of them.
You’re right. I can move through Haz but that still doesn’t help. I totally mis counted that. I will roll the acrobatics but hold the colour spray. Moving the dancing light guy up 10’ in front of me.
It’s actually top of order, with the first four unconscious the new guys come in and we start at Kasi
It is currently top o' the round.
You can only target one creature for the Intimidation check. I had to nerf it somehow, or else it would negate several feats, spells, etc. So I picked one at random. Both Yellow and Pink are convinced it's a ghost though. Pink just ain't got time for fear.
Everyone except Sera can tell that these aren't mere miners. These kobolds are carrying real weapons and demonstrate a sense of combat knowledge. Sera might as well be fighting with her eyes closed. On that note...
Larskolstad in a well-lit situation, it's fairly easy to get up and down from the kobold's perch, because there is a ladder. But if you wish to get into melee in the dark, you're going to need to add a few skill checks:
Jumping down is an automatic success, but landing smoothly will be a different challenge. The DC is 10 (Acrobatics), with Disadvantage to stick the landing. Doing so won't limit your movement speed if you succeed. Beating the DC by 5 will grant you Dash as a Reaction (like rolling with the momentum). If you fail, you take fall damage, and will suffer the Prone Condition. If you get a 1, you are Prone and Stunned.
Climbing down is DC 10 (Athletics or Acrobatics) with Disadvantage. But you move at Half Speed. Missing the DC by 5 or more will cause you to fall and end your movement there, but you won't fall hard enough to take fall damage unless your roll result is 1.
If it's well lit, the skill checks are the same, but you do not roll with Disadvantage.

Totally understandable, It was a way to retcon the failed post, and thought it would be a funny use of the dancing lights apparition. Thanks for being transparent though. I just figures it was the only one that failed the save against intimidation or didn't see through the ruse.
It is not her intention. She gonna ARREST them. That is very clear and knock them out and drag them to court if they resist ;)
She is openminded that maybe a leader figured forced them or tricked them. So she support to take them alive for explaining themself but she not trust Kasi ( I decided to play her mistrusting :D )

I wonder if Kasi is actually a spy for Letni Inhelk...
Anyways, sorry to spoil the diplomacy results, but the negotiations were on a razer's edge as it was, and Sera drawing a magical flaming sword was enough to end all talk. Time to crack some skulls!
Ok so plan is to send the shining Merkas illusion out to let kobolds in hiding attack it and reveal themself.
Then Hastos run to engage in close combat first.
Rest follows / cast spells if needed.
Sounds right?

Alright, so now we need to 'silence' a bunch of Kobolds without killing them, Here Goes MErkas!!
Initiative = 5
To distracted with the crates of gems

I forgot to move Kasi, but she's on top of the crates. It doesn't grant her any advantages to the attack, she just rolled really well.

Init 7 for Sharn, so I'm just gonna imagine he's right above Merkas.

Retconned. Using the light guy to act like a ghost and deceive/scare the incoming kobolds. Holding colour spray if at least two get within range.
(holding Colour Spray is the action, moving the light source is my bonus action)

Is it Sharn that’s up next?

Hasto! We’re chewing up Nat 20’s on disadvantage rolls

Ha we posted almost same time. But theese negotiations using Grammy as translstor seems to have no hopes.
Seems Sera is a bit more lawful than the rest of you.
@Hrothbert - Oh shit! :-D
@Larskolstad - I think that flaming sword bit is worth an intimidation check! LOL

Wuff, I got an 11 and a 4. Sharn is not a great talker, hell of a listener tho.
