[OOC] Chaos in Krioka: The Meandering Monk [Joshua Tamashii]

[Joshua Tamashii]

This is why I need Thamior… or Shadow XD. Sadly, I'm only allowed one character.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

They may or may not join you at some point. Who knows?

Of course, I won't have all of your friends join you at once. That'd make the game too easy. XD
Plus, Ellaranna may meet some other people who'd be her allies.

[Joshua Tamashii]

I mean, by all means, if you allow me to bring them in, I am fine doing so as you see fit. And I agree, introducing them all at once would definitely make things too easy, at least to some degree. But I am also eager to see what NPCs might join them.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Oh! Good news!

Your Perception roll is good enough for her to notice something after all!

[Joshua Tamashii]

… These people or creatures are horrible at stealth.

Also, changing something on Thamior's sheet, switching to Unearthed Arcana ranger variant abilities, which are generally more useful.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

It's not stealth they're bad at, it's stealing. XD

[Joshua Tamashii]

Ah, sleight of hand fails.

[Joshua Tamashii]

PURSUIT! Do I need to roll anything?

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Go ahead and roll initiative first. XD

[Joshua Tamashii]

Oh, dice gods, why hath thou abandoned me? https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/17419

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Yeah. Yeah, this mysterious figure goes first. XD

They're gonna dash for their action. So, they are now 60 feet ahead of Elaranna. What do you do now?

[Joshua Tamashii]

Dash after them. I need to keep up as much as possible. I believe that uses up all my actions, right?

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Oh! Hang on a minute.

Sorry, I'm not used to running pursuits in D&D, I read over the rules and found I made a mistake.

Pursuers and quarries can dash (3 + Con mod) times per turn. So Siftus would be 120 feet in front of Elaranna. If Elaranna is still able to reach Siftus' space, she can attempt a grapple check to catch him.

((Edit: Math))

[Joshua Tamashii]

I can dash six times, so I can easily catch up to them.

Now, grapple would be... what, proficiency plus dex or str?

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Grapple will be your Athletics versus your target's Athletics or Acrobatics.

[Joshua Tamashii]

… shit

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Maybe RNG will favor your grapple attempt this time?

[Joshua Tamashii]

Fuck no! It's getting worse: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/17422

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Yeah, your target easily escapes your grasp.

Go ahead and roll a Constitution check for me since you took the extra dash to catch up to him.

[Joshua Tamashii]

… I think I should stop for the night: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/17424
