That dagger transfer already paid off. That would have missed without the +1.

I have also realized that I keep forgetting aspects of my subclass like...
Divine Fury Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can channel divine fury into your weapon strikes. While you’re raging, the first creature you hit on each of your turns with a weapon attack takes extra damage equal to 1d6 + half your barbarian level. The extra damage is necrotic or radiant; you choose the type of damage when you gain this feature.
that might be a handy thing to remember from here on out *makes a note*

Thanks to Narstin, Beegred is over half health again.
It may have been discussed before, but how does Skameros maintain his Rage during this 1 round of quiet? Is he allowed to smack himself with a rock for 2 damage (rage-reduced to 1 point)?

Strictly by the rules, rage requires attacking an enemy, or taking damage.
I figured it would be easier for Skameros to do one of those action-movie "blade across the palm, lick the blood on the blade while looking crazy" actions to do the minimum damage (1 pt after rage reduction) necessary to stay raging.

Then hitting yourself causes damage, thereby satisfying the second option?
Either way, I like the visual of a berserker self inflicting pain to go into a rage, so I will be OK whether this is RAW or not. It is up to Skameros and how he thinks his character will behave.
He's also hasted.. I imagine something along the lines of the Jason Statham character from the Crank movie (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479884/). Go look at a trailer :)
@ Rodolfo: when holding an action to cast a spell, the spell slot is usually used up, regardless of the trigger materializing. But since you are just waiting to use a wand... I guess that doesn't apply. I don't really know RAW. Either way, I'm guessing you want to hold your action to do the same again?

@Beegred: You're going to kill this thing all by yourself!
@skameros: Elemental is still standing, don't wait for me to update the main thread to attack after Beegred.
The elemental missed me BTW - Haste gives me +2 AC so it's now 17 to hit me :)

Also - keep track of the rounds of Haste. After 10 rounds it wears off and you're stunned for one round. I think we're at 1/10 now.
The elemental is still rolling high for the damage. If Narstin didn't do a healing word, Beegred would have keeled over.
Concentration check: 23 Arrgh, just missed. There goes Hunter's Mark.
Beegred intends to run to the cleric, but only after this rock pile is no more.

I was choosing to not acknowledge that in the hopes the DM wouldn't think of that
so thanks for bringing it up :P

So what are you doing during this one round, Skameros?
That depends, do I need Beegred to punch me to keep my rage going?

Yes, but that would be a bit metagamy. Although, for the sake of humor, I would allow you to hit yourself to keep your rage going.

That's fine I can just rage again
