​

	Wind Spore Mushrooms 30 gp each​	A rare fungus with a unique magical property. When a creature squeezes a wind spore mushroom's cap, it releases a small cloud of spores. For 1 hour, the creature doesn't need to breathe, as the spores provide it with oxygen.

	Heart Cap Mushrooms 30 gp each​	These mushrooms bear an unsettling resemblance to human hearts.
	Potion of Healing 50 gp each​	This potion's red liquid glimmers when agitated. You regain 2d4+2 hit points when you drink this potion.

((Nothing there other than a menu to add tokens, you can move tokens, and a ruler. I believe that was it. Can't see any numbers. ))

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

((I don't even get that. I get the DM isn't hosting message))

((Nothing there other than a menu to add tokens, you can move tokens, and a ruler. I believe that was it. Can't see any numbers. ))

((That's the map. There's a separate encounter tool that tracks initiative and so on. Your rolls feed into that to some degree, but I assumed it was just a back end for the DM.

Though, your UI is likely supposed to be your character sheet, and the map to the side.))

((Yeah, I think that's about all you'll see for it, is the rolls to everyone. It doesn't seem to have any "you're up next" type display, so that's the main thing I think I have to create.

And you can click launch to open the map, right?

((Yes. That's the map. When you have it running.))

((What Jawneh said. I usually have the message you're not running the game.))

 

[Dungeon Master]

What Jawneh said. I usually have the message you're not running the game.

((It might only show that when I'm actively using the maps too. Probably more of a "DM is online" thing.

Do you guys want to try using those stat sheets and the map there a bit more, and maybe keep the stuff here more towards story? I'm thinking we could trial you rolling everything off the character sheets, and I just keep an eye on the combat log for results. Also, if/when you want to move, you can move your own token around just making sure that it's traveling within restrictions, and knowing that I'll move you if it's not.))

 

[Moonsprout Beandirt]

((I kind of like it the way we're doing it, but also that's because I can't quite figure out how to do stuff in the app.

Also it's fun seeing the results of people's rolls and flavor text in here.))

((I'm cool with it as long as you keep it up. I got no problem clicking on buttons. I guess the better thing with the map is that we can more easily walk around diagonally. The only real problem would be remembering that if you get within 5ft of most enemies to pass them, they can whack you. Beyond that it should be good. If we do use it, I can try to keep up with folks too in case there's something off a bit.))

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

((I will work with whatever you decide. I like the idea of using the app more but I'm fine with hybrid or what we're doing too.))

 

[Moonsprout Beandirt]

Moonsprout's eyes grow wide as he lets out a blood-curdling scream . He continues shrieking as he flails about, thrashing at the air around him as some horrible spectral vision appears only before his eyes.

His fellow adventurers are hopefully not thrown off by this reaction, given the state they know he's in, but the Fume Drakes a bit further away can't help but ignore the horrifying display... (or can they??)

Moonsprout​

You scream into the void of your mind, but the drakes are not phased by the intimidation attempt.

(( @Jon is up.

Let's just make more use of that map, then. It's not critical, if Kelly can't get it working or whatever I'll continue to post enough of it here that you can be informed of placements. But yeah, that way you can move yourselves around and I'll just keep attaching slides to my posts of current positions. Unless you're freely exploring the area, only move your token on your turn. Don't move anyone else's token, or any NPC. If you do, put it back.))

 

[Moonsprout Beandirt]

((This is the only thing I see when I go to the game campaign using the app -- just a list of rolls

))

 

[Aims'Orreh Mwuh'Bwadd]

((I think I had tried looking for the map on the app too before, but never saw any similar buttons for it there. So I think that's a website only thing.))

 

[Dungeon Master]

((pretty sure no map on app.))

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

With Nac's wounds looking much better and the nearby Drake disposed off, Zesty turns his attention briefly to Moonsprout in the corner sobbing and screaming unintelligible words. He whips his head around to where Aims'Orreh is choking another drake like a prostitute in Grand Theft Auto. Zesty's blood begins to boil with anger, draws his crossbow and takes aim at the remaining drake, getting ready to loose an arrow.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHAFUCKIN' DRAKES IN THIS MOTHAFUCKIN' CAVE!

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

((And then the clouds opened up and god said I hate you Drake B))

 

[Moonsprout Beandirt]

((pretty sure no map on app.))

((For whatever reason the website won't work on my mobile it's an issue with my internet provider here.

I also can't access GWF on my home PC now either unless I turn on a VPN or just use Chrome. Fuckin weird Saudi shit, man.))

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

((Shit, if I actually kill it I just wasted my good kill shot speech on that. ))

Your bolts fly through the steam with a thwip, leaving small trails of turbulent vapor. It glides in a perfectly straight line and directly into the eye socket of Fume Drake B. The elemental convulses and jets of steam erupt from both ends.

You dealt fatal damage to Fume Drake B. Do you want to FINISH HIM or should I?

((I used up my good one liner there. I'll leave the killshot to you. I'm so satisfied my Snakes on a Plane zinger was a killshot. I could die happy... But I'd rather not die. ))

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

((Also, that'd make for a hell of an AI image in totally the opposite way of Moonsprout trippin on balls ))

 

[Moonsprout Beandirt]

((+1 for requesting a Zestuel Zapjackson reaching his limit with drakes in a cave))

Zesty​

"Elvish, mother fucker! Do you speak it!?"

There's a small momentary rip in space-time. Though you have no time to perceive it in the moment, a rift opens up along the length of your crossbow and a crossbow bolt falls out of it, perfectly landing in the channel of your bow. The crackling, fiery hot energy catches the bowstring and cocks it all the way back.

You know better than to question it now. You pull the bow up again and loose this mysterious bolt straight at the drake. It connects with the back of it's head and the elemental thrashes wildly as it falls into the water, motionless.



Fume Drake B took 10 points of damage and is dead.

---

---

Fume Drake A​

'The Fume Drake attempts to writhe free from Aims'Orreh's enraged grip via strength check. Somehow, the half-orc manages to hold on to the dragon made of vapor, and it does not manage to escape.

Fume Drake A is still grappled. ,

((@Nae'blis up.))

 

[Nac McWeeble]

((Does the drake being grappled effect anything with me attacking it?))

(Normal advantage/disadvantage stuff. You can roll your attack hit roll twice and take the highest. )

 

[Nac McWeeble]

(Normal advantage/disadvantage stuff. You can roll your attack hit roll twice and take the highest. )

((Cool cool!))

Seeing Zesty dispatch one of the drakes with a cool one liner and a crossbow bolt, Nac turns his attention to the last one, currently being grappled by the raging half orc.

Hey Aims! How kind of ye to provide a punching bag!

Nac runs up to where Aims is standing with the drake. As he nears them he jumps up and Superman punches the drake in the face. As he lands he punches it in the gut too.

 

[Short Order]

((looking forward to no one being dead yet))

Nac McWeeble
@Nae'blis​

| You splash through the warm water, which feels unbelievably good between your toes as you run. You recall the teachings of a Master, handed down amongst the Sensei-priests at your dojo-temple;

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves."

You are determined to make your way through cracking this thing's skull. You're about to adjust the object's face. You shall find a way through thin mortal form. You will stay rigid outward and disclose yourself when moving to a new neighborhood.

Time to finish this.







You pummel the dragon, momentarily shifting reality to become the epic version that lives in your head, where you're a tall hairy fella named Max.

Your fists connect firmly on the Fume Drake's jaw as Aims holds it steady and the crack echoes off the rock walls around you. Your other fist flashes out to smash into it's stomach before you even hit the ground, where you land on one foot looking like a badass..

Fume Drake A takes 11 points of damage.

Fume Drake A is now badly injured.

Fume Drake A is still grappled.

@A Pen Pineapple Apple Pen is up.

[Short Order]

Aims, you might get a bit chilly out there. If your fingers freeze off I'll get you some drink!

Welcome to the Frozone!

Short Order casts frostbite, moving closer if needed

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

((FINISH HIM!))

@Jawneh​

| Make a CON saving throw. |

[Aims'Orreh Mwuh'Bwadd]

Aims is too hot to deal with pesky druid magicks.

 

[Short Order]

((Aims resisted enough to not take damage, although his nipples became hard as diamonds))

@A Pen Pineapple Apple Pen​

| Your frost grows faster this time, catching the struggling elemental directly and it taking the full effect of the spell. Your frigid magic crystalizes it's body and the swirling blue mist around it starts to billow like breath on a cold morning.



The world fractures and for an instantaneous moment you see yourself banishing the spirit of evil that lurks over this land, clad in regal vestments and commanding vast power.



Then you snap back to reality.|

Fume Drake A takes 5 points of damage.

Fume Drake A dies.

Aims'Orreh Mwuh'Bwadd
@Jawneh​

| As you hold onto the drake for dear life, you realize your rage is going to come to an end. You haven't attacked anything, nothing has attacked you. That makes you angry!

You twist and pull at the drake just as the frost magic hits it, cracking it like a frozen log and throwing the two pieces to either side.

|

You take no damage from the spell.

---

 

[Nac McWeeble]

((Fuck yeah.

))

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

With the last of the drakes to fall, Zesty starts stripping off his clothes. Bare assed, the tiefling hops head first into the healing waters.

LAST ONE IN GETS TO SPOON WITH MOONSPROUT!

((This is just a little joke, I'll be collecting and searching the area soon. ))

 

[Dungeon Master]

((Oh shit, I mean...



Did you want to add your own flare to it... Even after the fact?))

 

[Dungeon Master]

((You could even, say, use it to expand on whatever random vision I just shoved into your backstory. YOU'RE the one who saw it after all, @A Pen Pineapple Apple Pen ))

@Jon​

You drop some change.
Roll one of your Hit Dice and regain health equal to the roll plus your CON modifier |

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

((I assume you mean a d20? Plus my con modifier of +3?))

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

((Boo, I was hoping to find some coins at the bottom of this hot spring. Worth it. What do we roll for searching the area for loot again? Also, what do I rolle if I want to try and pluck some wind spores?))

 

[Dungeon Master]

((I assume you mean a d20? Plus my con modifier of +3?))

((Uhhh, no. Just take a short-rest on D&D Beyond. That seems like it'll be the easiest thing, I can't tell how to just use your hit dice otherwise.))
