Updated!

if you roll a nat 1 on a perception check, do you just squeeze your eyes shut for a few seconds?

I included it in my IC post but worth mentioning it again. Now I'm in the party everyone gets +2 Initiative. Too late to go back and edit the rolls but remember for next time if you were unaware of this.

I did not include it. But wow...if we could roll attack rolls like we roll init, this would be an easy game!

No problem, I will just add 2 when it is to determine the turn order.

Updated my sheet, T_B!

The room is basically illuminated right? Can "things" hide behind the stalactites?

FYI - I changed my action to a double move towards the wall. (Which makes my readied action post pointless, but I left it anyway)

Yes, small things can. There are many holes and shadow spots available.

Surprise!!!

The rubble area is 10 feet below the rest of the area. And it is a difficult terrain.

I feel like I should have seen that one coming...

Anyway....so I see the stats for being prone, is it a minor action to get back up?

It's a Move action unless you happen to have an ability that says otherwise.

Also a 17 *should* be enough to hit the rat so enjoy your +3 damage bonus everyone!

Now, I am rolling awfully for this encounter, but better here than for my own characters.

Whoohoo!

You are a mean person.

I just like life!

Keep in mind he's already been down for the count twice this adventure.

Either way, bad rolls are no fun.

I was just gonna ask about the stirges
