Exciting times! Now I can reroll a cleric so you guys can actually have some heals!

So, shall I assume the creature uses tremor-sense, as in, it has no eyes for me to work with?

~SE++

It has no eyes that you can discern. I'm going to just say that Sunshine is smart enough to realize that.

This'll be a fun first fight or an Illusionist.... let's see what I can do....

~SE++

Well, I should nuance myself. Sunshine is smart enough to come to that conclusion. But a successful Intelligence (Nature) check would actually *confirm* whether or not the worm actually has tremorsense. In any case, you see no eyes on it.

I told you to go before we left the house!

In the zaniness of a Purple Worm bursting out of the chest of the valley, I neglected to see Deruvid taking "a step back towards Galthir." I've adjusted for that on the map.

Silverghost has some time to spare to get his own initiative roll in there since Aradon chose to roll up a new character.


You'd think a ranger would have been accustomed to going in the woods.

"needlessly"

You mock me, but I've cunningly lured out tasty chunks of exp!

Other thank not putting my initiative in a spoiler tag did I do that right?
Also are we playing on specific days at specific times or just kinda checking in and posting when we can?

Still unsure how this all works as a pbp

Check in whenever you can spare a moment, I know in my game its required you put at least one post up every 48 hours which isnt a terribly constrictive rule.

@DM : Which way is the wyrm facing? Or is it more or less flailing about? Also how do Monster Knowledge checks work in DDN ?

It only gives XP if its dead! I'm not sure that me hitting it with a stick will get much done.

You just need a really BIG stick.

Do I need to wait for any specific timing to ask for a History check in character?

~SE++

Its not the size, its how you use it!

Just whenever. Like BH, I would prefer that you be able to make a post at least every 48 hours.


Sort of...I guess...up? It basically looks like a giant, purple, fat flagpole with a mouth instead of a finial at the top. It has a mouth, but it doesn't really have a "face" to face with. There hasn't really been another round with which it would be moving. It's still getting DEX mod to AC, and may or may not be aware of everything anyways. I'm sure it flails around a bit. Not, like, Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube Man, or anything...but something analogous to "looking around."


Right now they basically don't. The results for any sorts of Monster Knowledge checks aren't in the Bestiary. For The Isle of Dread adventure, they were directly in the module, instead.

With the limited number of "Lore-like" skills, I'd probably go with an Intelligence (Nature) check for most monster knowledge desires. I'll wing the results.


Generally no, but it depends on what you want to know, and how much thought it feels like you might need in order to recall the facts you're searching your brain for.

It might be easier to just ask in here first what it is you're trying to accomplish with your skill check before RP-ing it in the IC thread.

Looking over your post, it would help if you made your spoken dialogue, "quoted and bolded," in addition to colored.

I want to know if there are any stories I might have heard, or famous heroes of old who have encountered this monster before, or if there are any tales of creatures that frighten it or are its natural prey. My plan is to use Phantasmal Force to make it believe that its natural predator is also fighting it, hopefully keeping it occupied while we get to keep attacking it.

For something like that, I would let you make the check whenever you wanted in the thread, just so I would be able to have the chance to find/come up with an answer without slowing down your turn. Though, we would play it as though you actually made the check "on your turn." I'd probably have to keep it to one Lore-type check per turn.
