It's all waterlogged, silly.
@Jon - I need you to up your artificer game, 'cause I (Myla) has got a ton of ideas that only the coolest of Artificer dudes could put together.
What do they all do? YOU DON'T KNOW. Yet.
Not the part above the water
With the way my rolls have been you'll be waiting a while for me to do anything cool.
Also, I'm not creative enough to come up with shit, so if you have idea, please... hit me up. lol
OP
As I just demonstrated, I've got ideas for days.
And maybe you just gotta fail a few times before you succeed. That's kinda how invention works, my dude.
I mean more timing and such. I know you've said I can try to learn things, but I've forgotten to make notes about when and how I do it. So... gentle reminders, like a smack upside the head, wouldn't hurt. Those gloves look cool AF.
That shit easy.
Tired of seeing only grey colors in the dark? How about you make the Lightenator to see colors!
Can't hit your enemies for shit? Strap an Autoaimenator on your weapon!
Too freaking hungry in the morning? Just turn on the Bacon-Eggs-n-Toastenator!
Ez.
((Fuck, this is the first think I want to make. Something to help my hit chances
))
OP
I do have an idea for something along those lines.((Fuck, this is the first think I want to make. Something to help my hit chances
Maybe I'll just throw all of my invention ideas into a table and number them, then pick which one "you" think of based on a roll. Unless you specify a problem you're trying to solve.
Basically I think the gist of what I said before is that each long rest you can spend time tinkering and trying to invent something. If you can write up a convincing explanation of how something would function, I'll probably make the DC to accomplish it easier. If you don't and want one of my ideas, I'll just make it a little harder to accomplish.
You can try/retry something every long rest, no limit on how many times you try to get something to work, etc.
But yeah, lean on this. There's absolutely room for you to invent something that lets you somewhat circumvent shit rolls.
OP
Hey, in his defense he hasn't so much as hit me with a single shard. Shorty and Zesty are BFFs. I miss, he kills indiscriminately. We're the odd couple.
OP
Wait until you roll a high enough perception check that you find the cursed charm he snuck onto you on the boat, to siphon your luck, and also that Alu hacked the forums to adjust the probability rates on your rolls.
Are you fucking kidding me?! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this...
It'd explain why the fuck I've been so bad...
But then how would he roll high enough on a perception check?
We gotta rub Moonsprout against him and hope some of that halfling luck transfers.
OP
Do you get the luck or do you get the yuck? Roll the dice!
Oh wait...

Just as an aside share, and perhaps of interest to @VashTheStampede, I'm going to try using this app I just found out about to track all of this campaign stuff better.
https://obsidian.md/ Obsidian seems like it's just a pretty useful note-organization app to begin with, but there are a few things that set it up to work pretty well for organizing a campaign...
I only started tinkering with it, but I've got zoom/pan maps with customizable pins, a calendar of Harptos to track the passage of time, and all of the pages can be interlinked, etc. I believe there are some more addons to Obsidian that I didn't look at yet, like actual character sheets and such, but this seems like it's probably going to help my ADHD ass far more than just tracking shit in Excel will.
There's also a paid feature through Obsidian which I'm considering, which basically automatically publishes whatever I'd create here to a wiki-style site that everyone could access. So if I made a note on Ur'kokk, it should just automatically make a wiki page about Ur'kokk. I believe it doesn't work with the addons like the app does, so the maps likely wouldn't carry through, but I could work-around that.
Do you even think you guys would benefit from having wiki-information around everything?
Oh, I also adjusted the theme to make it look like a 5e book.

If nothing else it's a great way to call back memories of the campaign. I like it. Would never ask you to spend (more) money on this hobby, but I like the idea for sure!
Everyone needs an update on Ur'kokk. He's special enough to have his own wiki page. He's a shining example of perseverance.

Mai'kokk was the original. Ur'kokk is just a cheap knockoff intended as an in memoriam.
Mai’kokk makes me happier than Ur’kokk does
Same. Mai'kokk was a legend. Gone too soon. Ur'kokk pales in comparison.
I have heard that mai’kokk had reached legendary status. Can’t say I’ve heard the same things about Ur’kokk
We're saying the same thing man, Mai'kokk > Ur'kokk
Yes, mai’kokk, not ur’kokk
Yup, Mai'kokk not Ur'Kokk, agreed.
Just give Ur'Kokk a little squeeze though. He goes from a tiny construct to a small construct.
That's right.
Y'all are speaking like you know everything about Mai'cokk? YOU KNOW NOTHING JON (and kut) SNOW! I'm the one who's lived with Mai'cokk, ate with Mai'cokk, BLED with Mai'cokk! All this garbage about Ur'kokk? Ur'kokk is nothing. I wouldn't even be able to tell if Ur'kokk came along and hit me in the face.
Mai'cokk is the original. The legend. Ur'kokk wishes it could be the next big thing. At best it's a tribute to the one they all want to become. But don't lie to yourselves. If you had the privilege of being in the presence of Mai'cokk you'd know the shivers it sent down your neck just by being there.
But don't fret it. I'd put Ur'kokk on a shelf and admire it with its fancy little thingamajigs. It looks pretty.

Next time use Ur’mahm
It's okay. You're entering the 2nd stage of 'cokk envy. You might feel angry right now, but it's better than being in denial. Mai'cokk is just that great. That's why you showed us Ur'kokk.
OP
I appreciate your patience, boys. I've been circling the drain the past few days, and despite sitting down to work on this several times, my brain just wasn't in it.
Wife and kids are gone for the weekend though, and I just slept for more than 4 hours last night (12, actually), so I'm going to try to get my head back in the game.

One thing I do need to bring up with @Smacktard is Moonsprout's height. In going back through the character sheets and trying to think about them more long-term, as in what your characters could do beyond this campaign, I actually registered this time that Moonsprout's height was listed at 4'11".
But halflings are small, with their height maxing out around 3'. At 4'11" you'd be a veritable giant among other halflings. And though I can't find it, I could swear I saw you describe Moonsprout as slightly shorter than average.
As such, I bumped Moonsprout's height down to 2'11" and his weight to 45lbs, to actually fit what it should be as a halfling. If you want to change it some we can do that too, but I think we need to recalibrate the idea of what size halflings are. You're closer in height to the Gnome than to the Dwarf.
My fault for not giving the sheets more scrutiny in session 0.
I do 100% want our halflings to just be regular proportioned people, just sized down. I'm not all about the actual D&D "canon" for halflings, which is either 1970s LOTR cartoon Bilbo, or the weird baby-hands bobble-head thing they've got going on in 5e.
Halflings were literally supposed to be hobbits though... I think in the original editions, they were called Hobbits, until the Tolkien estate rolled a nat-20 on their copyright intimidation.
