OOC: Death House (5e)

[steveflam]

Van accepted the task and plans to not be the classic bossy leader, he wants to prove the point that leaders should be wise enough to listen first and then act.

Gnome support plus 1.

Support at +2

[VAN]

Perception: [dice]0[/dice] Wow! the brave leader is deaf and blind! cannot even see and listen his companions!

[alhoon]

OK, Van didn't see anything. If I may, he even missed the doors that lead out of the main room.

Ewan: Gnorric's unlock attempt worked. Do you want to use sleight of hand to steal anything (small, not the musket) from the cabinet without anyone seeing you? Like Vorj that is in the den with you?
I also assumed you checked for traps before opening the locked cabinet. Keep in mind that looking for traps is time consuming (5-10 rounds) for big things (like doors etc) and not so much (2-3 rounds) for small things (like a small box).

A WARNING: All of you described your PCs investigating, opening drawers etc. (except VAN but he rolled 1). If you do that in 5e, you don't look for enemies. Usually in a party, someone is on the lookout for enemies while others look and loot.

A NOTE: I opened a map and description thread to make things easier. It will be updated regularly as you explore more of the house. Feel free to read it, avoid posting there. If you have questions, post them here.

Question:
Does everyone have their weapon of choice? Last chance for a weapon now!

[ewancummins]

The dwarf cleric isn't acting as a lookout, and him with dark Vision?

[ewancummins]

As for the rest:

No. No sleight of hand.

Weapon of choice? Hooked dagger.

[alhoon]

Nope sorry. That can't be found in the house. But you could have started with it... I was thinking about the captives.

I don't understand the weapon of choice question.

[alhoon]

Well, if you wanted say a rapier, it could be in the house. There's a very functional longsword (That goes with the adventure) over the fireplace. There were crossbows in that cabinet you found and if you said "How about a hand crossbow?" I would add them back.

But, hook dagger? I... can't see that lying as a decoration or being a weapon that could be found there.

Clearer now?

[kintire]

Kimber is keeping a lookout for enemies, with her Darkvision!

[ewancummins]

What about a hunting knife?

[VAN]

Maybe someone can get the crossbow we need ranged attack weapons. Van will be front line so he doesn't need one.

And does Van know how to use a musket?

[alhoon]

What about a hunting knife?

Awesome. It was in the Den, in the cabinet Gnorric unlocked.

And does Van know how to use a musket?

Yeap. But keep in mind the rules I presented. And that natural 1 can cause problems.

If he has time, he will also nab the hunting knife.

I don't want to post 'over' all the other players.

Bhunder, being the least physical of everyone, will just look and listen, his magic missile ready to cast at a moments notice.
