(I confirm that is what I see, too.)

I see 23 as well.

And Hildigrim will also follow.

Stealth: 13

(Add 10 to that, Hildi! WOO!)

oh wow, that is crazy!  I usually don't mouse over the results but perhaps i should.  That's actually totally wrong, Jorin has a +2 to stealth and i have put in +12 for Pass Without a Trace, unless i fat fingered it really badly.

(Obviously a glitch in the generated web page pointer to where the Die Roller results are stored. Hoping that the support team will find it useful to have a concrete example of this kind of bug.)

The tunnel that opens up through the crumbling wall of the antechamber is illuminated by a single brazier. After going 15’ east, you see the light 20’ to your south, where it becomes a 20’ x 25’ room (also crumbling and irregular shaped from decay). Standing by the brazier is another man in leather armor and fanatic’s robes, but his posture makes you think he is more experienced than the other 4 villagers from the previous fight.

He seems bored (no signs that he is aware of your group 20’ away, concealed in the shadows by swirling magical spores), but he is not distracted by gambling either.

OOC > I assume we are still in the tunnel? Is enough of the room obscured to us that there may be more people we cannot see?

(You don't have the best angle, crouched low against the side walls to avoid being seen. You can't tell how much of the room is in the corners on either side of the north wall.

If you think of the room like an apple, and the passage you are in like the stem, then you can't see the top parts of the apple to the sides of the stem.
If you think the room is more like a teardrop shape, then you are seeing everything.

Having said that, if you think this ruined room is rectangular shaped, given the amount of debris and rubble lining the walls, there probably isn't a lot of free space in the corners you can't see.)

(I’ve had a lot of time to consider how to reconcile Quillary’s impulsiveness with her very high Wisdom, and I’ve finally decided it’s just cause she’s seen the other side and is not afraid.)

Quillary gives Jorin a little push forward, then reaches for the man, saying a few words, and spores swirl next to him, forming a spectral hand of sorts, reaching for him.

Action: cast Chill Touch on the man.  15 to hit, for 5 necrotic damage

(Everyone roll initiative.
While he didn't hear you coming, the guy was still on guard duty, so no surprise awarded. Can't make things too easy.
You soon enough find out that he is alone. He used to have 4 subordinates and 2 grells working for him, but they don't seem to be around.
The party snuck to within 25', so you can reach him this round.
If your init is higher, go ahead and post your action.)

Cultist initiative: 15

Drusk init: 15

Quillary's initiative: 21

(I assume Quillary's action has been taken, she won't move, or take a bonus action, and he's not close enough for her halo of spores reaction, though if he closes within 10' they will attack him.)

Jorin Initiative: 4

edit: Quillary pushes Jorin forward and, taking him by surprise, he trips over a small rock.

Initiative: 17

Yay for halfling luck!

Sensing Quillary's movement, Hildigrim's little feet dash forward. Robes often mean magic, and he doesn't want to clump together with the others, so he moves as far away as he can (25') without getting too near the man. Volo flutters into the air and flies by the target as Hildigrim draws back his bowstring and releases an arrow.

Attack: 14 Damage: 9

Sneak attack: 11

Then, noticing something about how the man carries himself, Hildi points out a small weakness in the man's personal defenses to Jorin.

(Now post 5537 has "manipulated dice rolls" even though it wasn't edited. Strange, strange, strange...)

Both Quillary and Hildigrim hit the cultist, who is much sturdier than his (dead) underlings in the other room.

He casts Spiritual Weapon so it attacks Hildigrim (bonus action), then a Sacred Flame at Quillary (action).

• Quillary: DEX save vs. DC 11, or take 5 radiant damage
• Hildigrim being attacked: Attack: 9 Damage: 2

The cultist notices his heavy wounds, and moves 5' south and down a spiral set of stairs (that you couldn't see from your angle, 25' away).

Jorin goes next, then Drusk.
(With Jorin's 40 ft of movement, he can get within melee range of the cultist. If you chose to do this, after completing your attack rolls, also do an Acrobatics check vs. DC 12, or take 1d6 from stumbling and falling down the steps after the attack.)

Quillary’s Dex Save bs DC 11: 7

Jorin will absolutely do that, blood pumping and rage...raging!

• Movement: All the feet to the cultist
• Bonus Action: Its just one guy but I can't not RAGE
• Action: Battleaxe
  • Attack: 17 Damage: 16
  • Attack: 22 Damage: 16
  • +5 radiant damage
• Acrobatics: 11

Jorin is just able to strike the cult fanatic with the 1st blow (leather armor has limited protection), and the cultist falls and tumbles down the stairs.
(The stairs go 20' down, curving slightly from SW to W in direction.)
Jorin bounces down the stairs and lands, ready for a 2nd swing, but it is unnecessary. He picks up the dead cultist and heads back up the stairs.

At the botton, there was a rough hewn passage going west, but the passage is dark. Jorin could only see a short distance, from the indirect lighting from the brazier above.

When Jorin gets back up to the others (dumping the dead cultist on the floor), Drusk gives him a raised eyebrow.
"You only have a few Rages left, yes? Don't run out before we get to any big fights. It would be a shame if you got worked up every time a stray cat gives you a jump-scare."

"May I?" Hildigrim asks. He begins searching the cultist's body, hoping for some wizardly goodies, though he doesn't have much hope as the magic he witnessed was more spiritual than arcane.

Quillary glances about this new room, as Hildi loots the corpse. “Now do we go break that lock, or should we explore a little further?”
