Waterdeep: Dragon Heist

**Just seeing before i post anything else if anyone is stopping him?**

SP is going to let him run in, he can be a distraction since he doesn't mean anything to SP

Okay if two of you are letting him go than he is going. I assume you're all following, but let me know if you hang back for some reason.

As you come up the stairs there is a curtain hanging over the doorway into a large room. In the middle of  the room is a muscular half-orc in dingy robes standing with his foot on the chest of a male human with wavy red-blond hair who matches the description of Floon you were given.  Fire burns around the orc’s clenched fist, and Floon cries and squirms helplessly beneath him.

Seated on a raised platform to the south is a nightmarish figure wearing black robes. It has large white eyes and rubbery purple skin, with four tentacles encircling its inhuman mouth. It cradles and gently caresses what looks like a disembodied brain with feet.

Ranaer yells, "Floon!" and to the the half-orc, "Let him go!" and he rushes in.

Initiative: 

SP: 12
Dihek'nir: 21
Gendal: 9
Karugur: 12
Half-Orc: 14

Initiative: 

Dihek'nir: 21 <-- go for it
Half-Orc: 14
SP: 12
Karugur: 12
Robed guy: 11 
Brain thing: 10
Floon: 10
Gendal: 9

(does that look like a mindflayer?)

Dihek'nir quickly assesses the situation and decides to see if the situation can be improved. He says, "You there, I know you!" to the half-orc, casting Charm Person (wisdom save 12.. and I don't think we're actively in a fight yet).

Dihek'nir you recognize it from the Volos book, it is indeed a Mind F layer. Nobody has attacked anybody yet, so sure, lets see how this goes.

Half-Orc Wis Save: 14

The Half-Orc shakes his head a bit, "What? I don't know you, how did you all get in here?" 

The Mind Flayer yells to the Half-orc, What is the meaning of this Grum’shar? Deal with these pests."

and Grum'shar launches a [spell]Fire bolt at Dihek'nir.

Attack: 14 Damage: 9 - that his Dihek'nir and he goes down

**SP is up, then Karugur**

"I feel like fighting a mind flayer is above my pay grade"

SP will attempt to move up and sink two short swords into the back of the half-orc

Attack: 21 Damage: 5
Attack: 20 Damage: 4

Both attacks hit and the Orc looks very hurt by it.

Karugur go for it.

OOC Renear isn't in the initiative order 

Shoot, good catch

Ranear: 21

Damn it. That messes things up. Ummm. Look over there!

*Kay i'm just going to say that Ranaer is at the top of the order but held his action until he saw what was going on.**

Ranaer runs up and slashes at the Half-orc standing over his friend. - Attack: 20 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

**I'm also going to do Karugur's move because I'm not sure if Happy-potato is around atm**

Greataxe at the Badd Half-orc - Attack: 20 Damage: 12 - The Axe swings right through the robed half-orc and he falls down dead.

The Mind Flayer rises from his seat and throws the brain-thing onto the floor in between you all and him. "Fools!" and he takes off running into the next room.

The Brain-Thing takes a swipe with it's claws at Karugur - Attack: 8 Damage: 5 - and also attacks Gendal psychically. (Gendal make a DC12 Int Sav Throw)

Dihek'nir: 21 
Ranaer: 20
Half-Orc: 14
SP: 12
Karugur: 12
Mind Flayer 11 
Brain thing: 10
Floon: 10
Gendal: 9

Floon just writhes on the gorund in pain, he is not doing well.

Gendal, do your save before you act.

24...big nope

Gendal you take 7 psychic damage,

And also i'm rolling this: 10 -- annnnnndddd, you're fine. 

well, not fine, you are unconscious

and maybe completely dead....? let me read the rules.

**shit, that was exactly enough to take you to 0 and still have your max HP left over, leaving you totally dead. Somebody tel me how i am wrong, its happened before.

**if you take damage over 0 that would exceed your maximum HP total you die immediatly. So if I have 10 HP and get hit for 20 damage I think I am just dead dead..**

**he had 9 max but only 4 left, so he was hit for 13, which would mean totally dead right?**

****I don't know if it has to be equal to hit point max or over.... time to research!***

FOUND IT

Dropping to 0 Hit Points

When you drop to 0 hit points, you either die outright or fall unconscious, as explained in the following sections.

Instant Death

Massive damage can kill you instantly. When damage reduces you to 0 hit points and there is damage remaining, you die if the remaining damage equals or exceeds your hit point maximum.

For example, a cleric with a maximum of 12 hit points currently has 6 hit points. If she takes 18 damage from an attack, she is reduced to 0 hit points, but 12 damage remains. Because the remaining damage equals her hit point maximum, the cleric dies.
