Oh, shit, that does remind me I wanted to give you (@Advocate for A/C ) a tip, though.
Being an ice knife enjoyer aside; you could make good use of concentration spells while still utilizing Wild Shape. You can't cast spells while shifted, but anything you cast beforehand that requires concentration will remain in effect. So for instance, if you cast Moonbeam and then shifted into a wolf, you'd still be able to reposition the beam each turn without having to shift out. Of course far more broken once you've got a flying form and can just set up a spell then get out of range, but you could still probably use to great effect with any creature with a high movement speed.
Oh, and hitting level 4, you can now access things with a swimming speed, up to CR 1/2. So things like the Crocodile are on the table.

Awww, fuck it.
I just grabbed the Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron, which I'm sure has a bunch of robot-bullshit Jon will love, but more specifically... CR 1/2 Clawfoot Raptor. 50ft movement speed.
I should come up with a narrative explanation as to how you'd have seen one before, without going to Eberron, but that's doable.
EDIT: They're also freaking amazing at perception, so... You aren't likely to get surprised or fail to see something while using it...

This sentence pretty much sums up our entire campaign so far.
Yeah, and it TOTALLY wasn't the fault of the one character who was supposed to be good at stealth...
Dinosaur looks hella cool! Dibs on Nac getting to be the first dino rider!
And BEFORE his blindsight!Yeah, and it TOTALLY wasn't the fault of the one character who was supposed to be good at stealth...
I blame myself for not giving you my boots.
OP
Yeah... I struggle with sometimes thinking I should fudge dice rolls, or the outcome of yours, to ensure shit like the stealthy character starting to curse at the statue that wouldn't turn, but ultimately... That's just not embracing chaos.Yeah, and it TOTALLY wasn't the fault of the one character who was supposed to be good at stealth...
Following the will of the dice gods sometimes allows even me to be surprised by how things go, rather than you just... Being told a story. So, this is the way.
Only if you call Alu a 'Clever Girl' every time.

OP
For me personally, it's more fun to let whatever happens happen! If I roll crap, so be it! Adds life to the story! Can't always succeed.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
Don't, man! It's all good!
OP
Note: do not give Nae the boot.Don't, man! It's all good!
OP
@The Flame I was going through and updating each character's level/stats under their GWF profile, but I didn't want to un-Nootie you without checking first.
It's not really vital, and could be changed back later, I'm just using it for quick reference within thread posts with the D&D styles.
Also, while I'm not 100% that we'll use anything but DnDBeyond to wrap this up, you and @shortkut are welcome to join the campaign tools with the below links:
Edit: I'm not actually sure if you can join multiple campaigns at once on DnDBeyond, so you'll have to let me know if it gives you trouble, kut. I'm guessing Magni will be fine.

I can’t join with either because Magni is in the dummy campaign and I can’t figure out how to leave it
Alright, I tagged in Magni on here. Popped him out of the Dummy Campaign and into this one, and joined all the other shit too (I'm the Jake guy on Roll20). Wasn't sure what the extent we were using the latter two was, so I haven't done much else yet, but lemme know if I need to flesh out my profiles at all. I've used Roll20, but I'll say that the only thing I know about it until now is the logo lol

OP
I don't know what Magni would have to do with you, but I do see that if you join a character into a campaign you can't put them in a second one. I stuck one of mine into the Dummy Campaign and can't add it to any other.
I can't really tell if this'll work for you as when I click it, I only get to the DM-version of the page where I could boot people out, so I don't know if it'll give you an option to leave the Phandelver campaign for now. If it won't, we can ask @VashTheStampede to boot you until it starts back up again.
I guess the other option is just to make a new character and just put it to level 2 from the beginning then copy all the stats, etc. over. That might be the best option to keep you in Phandelver without screwing that around, but it's understandably a bit of work to clone him. My assumption is you'd just be able to quit this and join back to Vash's after though.
Nice. Looks good on all fronts. We haven't yet actually used either World Anvil or roll20, I set those up after things stalled out in hopes it might make things easier and more enticing, but I'm still on the fence. It'd probably be simpler to just continue posting screenshots and that in the campaign thread, but roll20 has such pretty effects like built-in line of sight and stuff.
I also think I'm going to have a lot to get creative with, given you're playing a kobold and stepping out of the portal into a monastery full of kobolds... Jives pretty well with the story and even where we're at, so this'll be fun.
I'm going to start working on a story post tomorrow, if I get some time to sit down and think about it. At least enough to get the gears moving again and explain the current situation on our side of the portal, rather than just what I dropped into the other Taverns. I'm also going to assume that @Jawneh is out of it for now, but I've had an idea of how to explain his sudden 'absence' story-wise for a while, so I'll go ahead with that. If he does show back up, it'll still be pretty easy to bring him back in.
OP
Oh, and I thought I'd dropped a link to the main World Anvil page up above, but you can find a bunch of the world-building/lore stuff I'd been working on here: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/gwfaerun-teawrecks
If nothing else, it'll give you an idea of where the three campaigns were located (Phandelver up North, Waterdeep down south, and Stormwreck Isle in the middle.)

Awww shit, he be right.
I never went back to that page after adding him into the dummy campaign.
I can’t see how to get there from the mobile app, but it’s fine since I added a dream copy to your campaignAwww shit, he be right.

There’s the answerIn the app you go to the Characters tab at the bottom part, then click the three lines in the top right and in that menu choose Collections > My Characters.
OP
Yup, got all you fucks, even Aims.
You gave us fucks? Sweet, whose mine?
OP
Moonsprout. It's Moonsprouts all the way down.
I have an invention for that.
I mean, I didn't think you could peel him away from Tarak, so I'm impressed
OP
Is it a "paper bag"?
You don't look at the mantlepiece while stoking the fire.
You assume he's not just adding bodies to his orgy like the Megazord.
Hey, don't give away my inventions!
Listen, you gave me the Ctrl + Z, you can't complain how I use it!
OP
You mean the ones you can't come up with yourself and I have always brainstormed?
Exactly!You mean the ones you can't come up with yourself and I have always brainstormed?
Mine's laser. It go pew pew.Didn't the chinese invent the first rudimentary guns?
OP
It's magic. Gunpowder isn't exactly a thing, like it is in the Critical Role world of Taldorei.
Artificer items just work because they want them to, kind of like orcs in Warhammer with the WAAAGH!
I'd say I only labeled it as a flintlock to convey it doesn't have that many shots before needing to reload.

OP
I really was torn on what dumb item to foist upon Short Order. But giving a reason to shout more MK catchphrases seemed more funny than just something ice-related...
I think the other option was going to be some plant with copper-wire filament roots that would have attached to Boltzmann, and let Short pilot it, freeing up Zesty's bonus action. Seemed kinda wobbly in so far as who then owned/controlled RoboDog, though.
