(Question about the Shield Master feat. One of the abilities you gain from this feat is being able to add your shield's AC bonus to a DEX saving throw from any harmful effect. But the wording of the feat suggests that you would only be able to benefit from this ability if that spell or harmful effect was only targeting you: "If you aren't incapacitated, you can add your shield's AC bonus to any Dexterity saving throw you make against a spell or other harmful effect that targets only you." So if a Fireball exploded in the middle of the party, and everyone had to make a save, anyone with Shield Master couldn't gain that saving throw bonus from their shield. Would you agree with this, or allow that saving throw bonus to be added regardless of targeting?)
(I think the way that the feat is meant to be applied is a spell that targets only you would have a spell attack modifier attached to it, meaning that the increase to your AC would help the spell miss you entirely. The feat also gives you a 'version' of the Evasion skill, where if you are subjected to an AoE effect (like a Fireball or a Dragon's breath attack) you'd roll the Dex save, but rather than taking half damage on a success you'd be able to use your reaction to take no damage at all. It is worded a little strangely though, and Crispy might run things his way in his game. Thats just the take-away from the Feat that I've always figured when I used it.)
Onyx sat quietly to himself, with two whiskeys in hand, putting them away as quickly as they were refilled. Keeping this up for as long as the bar staff would allow. He had no intention of simply going to bed or looking for comfort in the arms of a stranger. The drink was more than enough for the gray dwarf. If left alone, he might even be there till morning.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Shield master is built for each scenario that a shield naturally is not. A shield naturally boosts your AC vs spell attack rolls. If a spell that requires a dex sav is launched at only you ex: Sacred Flame, Shield Master lets you get to add your shield's AC to that Dex sav. If an AOE spell hits you you can use your reaction to take half on fail or none of success using your reaction.)

As morning is about to dawn Mucor, Grunting and Yera are awakened by the delicious smells of breakfast. You make your way down to the tavern's main level and find a passed out Onyx still grasping a whiskey glass in one hand. The barkeep notices your arrival and say, "Mornin, your friend should be fine he just needs a platter of meat. Have a seat and Daisy'll be right with ya."
Quentin wakes up feeling rested and energized after a night of fun. He reaches over to find Daisy has left sometime in the night and smelling the wonderful aroma of breakfast heads downstairs with his usual grin but this morning it's slightly larger. As you make your way to the bottom of the stairs you notice four of your friends at the table being waited on by Daisy who glances over to you and gives a small nod and smile your way before turning back to your companions. You seat yourself and listen to the sweet voice of Daisy as she speaks lost in the sound of her voice rather than the words themselves.
Gabriel makes his way to the Riverboat Queen after an uneventful watch and entering is greeted by the sight of your companions as they receive their meals. You join them and see a giant spread of meats, fruits and veggies that smell wonderful.
Everyone: Daisy comes over and refreshes everyone's drinks when Onyx is awakened by Daisy placing a new glass of whisky on the table next to him. "Figured that might do it. I brought out the Hero special for y'all. It's basically everything on the menu doubled. Normally feeds 10 people but a strong bunch like you should be able to handle it fine." as she leaves to take empty mugs back to the bar she runs her finger across Quentin's shoulder (sleight of hand: 6) and continues her rounds. (lol)
"How come no one wants to touch me?" The minotaur will say watching Daisy run her finger across Quentin's shoulder. "I took a bath last night.. I am pretty soft and fluffy..." The minotaur will say before digging into breakfast... After swallowing a few mouth fulls of meat and veggies he will speak up again. "I think we need to talk to Jesse this morning.. it sounded like he had an important task for us to handle.. it probably pays well." The minotaur will say before breaking off another mushroom from the front of his shield and using it like a large nacho chip to scoop up eggs and bacon before shoveling it into his mouth.
These are the types of mushrooms I imagine are growing on the front of his sheild and up the wooden shaft of his spear
Gabriel spent the night in lonely contemplation, only sleeping as long as was absolutely necessary. Returning to his companions at the Riverboat Queen, he hails his friends with a grunted 'morning', and strides to the innkeeper. "Tell me, do you know where I might get my axe silvered? " He lays the axe in question on the table, its stained blade glinting a dull black.
"You'd want to check with Tiberius over at the Blacksmith. Its right across from the guard barracks at the southern gate. He won't be open for another half hour though, still tending to his kids probably." (map in Campaign notes for reference) says the barkeep.
"I took a bath which was nice, I had some trouble sleeping because of this banging sound coming from the room next to me... but other than that it wasn't too bad" The minotaur will say chomping on a sausage wrapped in a pancake.
Mucor will give a firm warm hug back to Grunting. The hug is pretty tight but not uncomfortable... Also if Grunting likes to eat bugs... there might be a few small ones available :P
Quentin drops down into a seat at the table and grins broadly at each of his companions, his face the very picture of charm and gratification. "Mornin' ya'll, trus' ya'll slept good last night. Far as tavern accommodations go, this'n definitely gits the vote o' approval from me." The rogue's unruly blonde hair is stylishly disheveled and his cerulean eyes are bright and alert, and his grin seems incapable of fading for the time being. He reaches over and happily loads a plate full of the sumptuous breakfast provided, thanks Daisy for the feast with a nod and a flashing smile, and commences to eating with a ravenous appetite. The rakehell glances up as Mucor comments on being touched and Grunting obliges him with a hug, and Quentin reaches over and gives the Minotaur a firm and friendly pat on the back. "Soft n' fluffy sure nuff', Mucor ole' boy. Yer lookin' better than a polished gold coin this mornin' Mushroom Man."
Swallowing another mouthful of breakfast, Quentin takes a gulp of some fresh juice and wipes his face clean. "Speakin' a' this mornin' though, I reckon ya beaned the goblin on the noggin there Mucor. Once we're all wrapped up here, we'll skedaddle on over t'Mr.Duke's place and see what he's got in store for us. Somethin' important that pays well is m'favorite thing." A half second passes, and the rogue grins slyly. "Well, I reckon it's m'second favorite thang, actual like." Then he chuckles to himself and tosses a quick side eye glance at their lovely barmaid.
Onyx awakens to the sounds of the others, hand instinctively reaching out for the new glass of whiskey. He figured he was working up quite the tab at this point, but heard nothing about needing to pay up as of yet.
As the gray dwarfs eyes squint through the morning light, he's greeted with the sight of the minotaur and kenku embracing each other. A low growl escapes him, "If you can not handle you drink this early in the day, you should not be drinking. "
As the sun fully crests the horizon you hear the sounds of the town start to pick up as people make their way to work and a familiar bell rings out signifying the start of the day. Full from a delicious breakfast and with a renewed and heightened strength from rest you are prepared to face whatever challenges come.
Yera walked down the stairs into the common area, still putting on the last bits of her armor. The smell of fresh food put a spring in her step and she bounded down the rest of the way to the table where Onyx and a few of the others were already seated. The halfling quickly pulled out a seat and practically jumped in, the chair loudly screeching against the wood floor as she scooted her way closer to the table. "Good morning indeed!" And at once began digging in. Giving a quick "Thank ya, miss" and a slight bow of her head as Daisy walked by. As she watches Daisy's not so subtle PDA with Quinten, Yera raises an eyebrow, "Huh, thank ya, ma'am".
She smiles at Mucor and Grunting's interaction. And when Quentin poses his question she responds, "Yup, that's the plan".
"Oh, good morning sleepy head." She chuckles, as she sees Onyx appear from his slumber.

Hearing this from his friend, grunting takes a moment from feeding himself and Gump to give a great big ole hug to the Minotaur. "kaw" (sounds good)
