OOC: Yeah, hmmm.. just want to think for a moment

Quote from JcAndD >>

OOC: Right, one event of the person who drinks it. Would losing a friend be counted as an event? Like “If that friend hadn’t step out there, that bus wouldn’t have hit him”

OOC: Interesting! So, if we did “If Bors hadn’t slipped, he would have made it safely to us.” Then we could undo the twelve that he rolled, right? And he would be safely here. Or also, Kia could’ve grabbed him.

OOC: Alright, but “If Bors had not step into The Room, then I would not have lost him.” Would that work? Then he’s got three more tries

Yes. 15% chance of failure, and obviously Imryll has to give it up to you.

But if you do that, that ONLY GIVES BORS ONE MORE CHANCE to cross. Nothing else crazy.

OOC > From the RAW for Monk abilities, "Stillness of Mind. Starting at 7th level, you can use your action to end one effect on yourself that is causing you to be charmed or frightened." Now, frightened is defined as the condition, which might be more than we are talking here. It might be more akin to the first Wis check when stepping out onto the line, not the insanity check when missing the line. In which case, sorry. :/ And in which case, it won't work for Kia to go get Bors from the white. Plus, even if it would work, in a game mechanics sense, it only is useful after she's been frightened, which means she'd have to go out, take another insanity point, then on her next turn use her Action to undo the effects of the fright, so all she'd have left is a Move, with no opportunity to take an Action to heft Bors (which I'm not even sure she could do). So, yeah, probably not, either way.

Kia shakes her head sadly. "I do not think I can retrieve him safely. Our mission to end Strahd must take precedence. And I believe the Tear must be saved for that cause."

OOC > Sorry, Darth. :(

OOC: But do we think that he could make it over if he had a last chance. He has advantage due to the mouse, and if we had some sort of buffing spells, then maybe

OOC > Well, Imryll or Kia could go back over, and then use their higher Dex (Acrobatics) capabilities to do the paired crossing with Bors. But my rolls have been less than exemplary. (Past performance has no bearing on future results, yada yada).

Maybe we could talk Crispy into the fastball special to get Kia (or Imryll) back over to the other side?

At this point Ive got nothing to lose. I am certain Kia is not getting out of this adventure alive. :)

OOC: We don’t actually need you to do that. He already would have advantage from Imyrll’s mouse. 

Interesting predicament. Not to mention we're not quite done with the Maze yet, but it's almost done. It's all up to Bors' rolling to be honest. If you want to use the Tear for that chance, go ahead. If not, the show must go on. =) You are getting whittled down one by one.

If Bors still needs to make Dex saves don't spend the tear. It's a long shot even at advantage to make it twice.

But. .... someone mentioned an insanity check earlier, and I recall briella getting a wis save after stepping of the line. Bors has a +6 wis save mod, never rolled it.

OOC: I think that was to stand back up after getting the ol’ Mind Crush

OOC > Crispy said that if we went as a pair, we could use the better stat of the two people to roll with. So if Kia joined Bors, the two of them could use her +6 Dex roll or her +8 Acrobatics roll to make their checks. That would certainly be an improvement over Bors’ stats. 

*And* they would have Advantage on the rolls as per Help rule. 

Everything you just said was correct. BUT you would have to make it TO Bors.

OOC: What If Kia undoes herself making it across using the tear? Then she can escort Bors across!

That would work. She would need the Tear.

OOC: Oh right, which we need for Bors. Curses...

OOC > Unless undoing her crossing resets everyone who went after her. So Bors and Imryll. Not sure if the Tear rolls back time relative to the person who takes it, or just warps that person back in their own time bubble. If it’s the whole time stream, then Imryll should take it. Her bonuses are better than Kia’s, and she crossed after Kia.

Of course, Kia will not hesitate to do it. Arkiel is with her now, she is certain. But she also believes the Tear should be used to stop Strahd. Perhaps Bors is part of stopping Strahd? Maybe.
