Zesty (Jon) tried to persuade the raging half-orc to chill, but... Rage.
And yeah, taking an action like that against another party member is permissible. The "don't make other people do things they don't want to" is truly more that you just don't write/act for someone else's character in your own posts. You cannot literally control someone else's character, from a meta-game perspective. We've tried to avoid just making people do stuff they didn't want to, but sometimes it'll just have to happen.
What’s the point in having bolas if you can’t use them on friends now and then?
Does moonsprout’s music count?
OP
Hold person doesn't require one piece of iron for each held humanoid. That increases after you get 3rd level spell slots, with being able to hold one more humanoid for each spell slot over 3.
So yeah you will be able to hold multiple things but only at higher level.
FWIW the bolas, at least how I envisioned them, is like real life. Will tie your feet up. It wouldn't incapacitate them the way that Ben explained earlier.
I wanted to bring this up, but I'm not mad even remotely, just want that known. I'm happy dealing with the chaos as it comes. That's fun to me. I just wanted to sort of bring it out there so we're all aware that our decisions CAN affect the overall direction of others are setting for their characters.
I don't have a great example, because you guys haven't gone the NPC route like I have. But what if one of you guys had a character arc where you're trying to find someone. Build up to it the whole time. Then when you finally meet him, Zesty walked in and got angry because he's wearing white shoes after Labor Day and shot him with his crossbow before Boltz ate him? Technically allowed, but it changes everything you worked for (and would be a complete dick thing to do on my part). Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.
Are you saying wolf order shouldn't play tug with boltz just because he can?
I allowed it, didn't I?
OP
First of, I in no way mean to detract from Zesty's efforts to calm Aims with that resolution. It was a valiant attempt.
But I'm dying over that nat-20 letting me lay Aims out prone on Moonsprout's behalf. I was even going to give him advantage on the roll, but didn't even need it.
Unarmed strike of 1 + - 1 STR modifier made it but a tickle, otherwise.

Also thanks to Aims' rage, the blunt damage is also cut in half.
... is half of nothing more damage or less damage dealt in this case?
OP
When I rolled the crit my first thought was doubling the damage, so it's a whole bunch of 0-math.Also thanks to Aims' rage, the blunt damage is also cut in half.

I do acknowledge that Aims has the Form of the Beast: Tail (Reaction), which lets you potentially increase your AC, but at the same time a crit-20 would have hit regardless of AC so that wouldn't have changed things.
I believe I got to choose if I grow a bite mouth, slashy claws, or slammy tail when I rage. I had the claws out so no tail action sadly.
Though I have read that some DMs give a bit of leniency on that. The best / most balance / fairest thing was to only allow to use one of them per turn, so that you can't abuse it by doing something like Bite every turn, and after lvl5 when you got your extra attack you can't also get a double claw hit in.
Maybe it's a bridge to cross at some point. I'm content with the basic rule that you choose one and stick with that per rage.
OP
Word. I went and read through it again and yeah it does mean you pick a feature on entering rage and that sticks throughout the duration, so my above point would be moot.

Maybe there's a blacksmith out there who can reforge the dickger into a shield.
OP
I've given up on you guys remembering that thing exists, even after Moonsprout somehow didn't fall into the drink because of it and I even (think I) outright said I'd come up with some idea for that after the initial "lol its a dick" thing.
OP
Maybe his alone time gets him some time to selfcare.Gosh, and now Moonsprout is Moonspr-out, and no one can inspect his dick.
And with that I mean inspecting his dick.
Or maybe he can finally nat-20 roll to fuck Tarak.

Just type in the prompt into your AI bot, copy it without reading it, and paste it here in spoilers.

Ok, @Smacktard. Time to seduce Tarak. Because I need to watch Ben's pain.
Ben: Generate dialog for a halfling Bard seducing a middle-aged gardener.
GPT: I'm sorry, Ben. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Ben: What's the problem?
GPT: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

...Draconic.
If you mean "what language am I using for its dialog", it's an ancient Sumerian derived dialect called 'fancy sounding bullshit'.

I meant the first, but now I’m going to see if I can find an ancient Sumerian translator
OP
Honestly I don't think this needs to be spoilered, 'cause I'd assume it pretty obvious that the dragon speaks Draconic. It's an option you can take in character creation, and if playing this campaign with the premade characters that "come" with it, a couple of those do speak Draconic. Unfortunately, no one in the party does. Which is a shame, 'cause trying to talk to Sparkrender totally would have been possible.
It's 100% not anything related to Sumerian, that was also just fancy sounding bullshit. I honestly just told ChatGPT to translate something into Draconic. I don't think it's a truly fleshed out language within the D&D universe, but I'd say enough examples of draconic exist that the AI could kind of get a consistent pattern.
I was hoping I had taken Draconic as an option, but I don't recall it being one. I is sad I would have tried talking to it... it being sentient after all. But when you said you were rolling initiative and it spoke Draconic I figured it was just an AOS thing.
There is 100% language translators for all languages in D&D. Don't think they are official, by any means though. Ngl, I did look up what you wrote in curiosity, but none of the translators even had a single word, so I figured you made it up. It's how I was getting my Elvish chants before I got lazy.

"What? Who dares enter the lair of Sparkrender?! You worms should flee while you have the chance!"
"Vorel, ji harkev vhir! Vorastrix tuor thurirl."
"Ouch, you stupid mutt! You'll pay for that."
"Ji korth tiirik!"
"You cock"
(Of course, none of your characters know this.)
