Hearing shots fired and twang against the nearby wall, Aron could be seen rushing out to the spacious room to join Angus in the confrontation. With Orchid's shortsword, dashed to one of the kobolds trying to hide, swung the blade and slashed deep into its thin draconic body. The remaining kobold panicking, fired another crossbow bolt at Angus, only to just miss Angus's shoulder. Seeing as it is out numbered and powered, it motioned behind the barrel it was behind to get some cover. But as barrel that Najila magically lit on fire collapsed, the kobold was gone. But the flames would help to expose kobold trying to move to the far corner of the room. Anyone already in the room could see easily see it and make their way to it, but those still in the jail room would have to move into the spacious room to see the kobold. However, it can easily be seen by all that the initial flames of the bonfire spell is catching the neighboring wooden containers on fire as black smoke begins to slowly fill the room.


@Dark Light
From your rolls when checking Wyatt's body, you were able to determine that there were no magic involved, but still unsure if he fail unconscious due to pain, fear, or other possible reasons.
@Guardian Angel Haruki
Haven't you already had your turn this round though?


IThat is true as my last post was the kobolds reaction. But jt's fine, I can still do the Kobolds and Aron's turn. Once finish, I'll just mention how Najilia turn effected them.
@Expolar

How far ahead are the crates and barrels? Also, how far apart are the crates and barrels from each other? I have an idea.


The barrels and crates are to the sides of the room, but most are stacked in the corners of the square room. The middle of the room has a straight path that leads to the steps 10 ft away from the spacious room, but is dimly lit as the light sources of the torches are on the two side walls.

Critically fail!

Are we playing with Critical fails and success?
I realise they don’t really exist it 5e except as an variant rule.
(Pg242 apparently.)


I'm not really going to consistently stick with the critical fails as the level of the blunder could vary on the situation that it just feels like it would be easier to say that it fails than say something that represent a critical fail. This is because ultimately it could be a small critical fail that occurs that is easily forgotten soon after it happens or if something of a bigger critical failure happens, it would be because of how unpredictable the current situation is. So I'm just basing it on how volatile the situation is as I do not want to just force a major failure if the current situation is rather stable enough.

The only thing that I could imagine is that when Orchid calls her glaive back to try and stop Angus, the base of the blade would accidentally catch between the cell bars, thus stopping in place and losing her grip to possibly drop it. But on her next turn, she would be able to properly call it back to her harm. Its not much as I feel the current situation in the jail room does not have that much factors to cause something too critical.
Aron was about to say something that he just barely saw out in the room. But the highlander shoved the man to one side, pushed the metal door open and charged out into the spacious, but cluttered, room mostly filled with crates and barrels, two sounds of crossbows could be heard. However, both bolts would miss as they could be heard hitting the wall beside. They jumped in panic as their shots missed and ducked behind their cover, keeping a distance and prepared reloading their crossbows.


@rush99999@Lucius Cypher
I would say that with or without a weapon, Orchid's roll will still be a normal roll and thus fail.
Although he seemed to calm a bit from all his talk, the party striping him of his valuable and being tied. But he nervousness quickly returned the highlander sank the blade of the glaive deep enough to draw blood, causing Wyatt grow a bit pale as he hopelessly squirmed in place. "He's a spellcaster, our employer, okay okay! lets not be hasty! I'm only of worth if I'm talking and moving, even if as a meat shield, right?! But I ain't no expert, in the finger wriggling arts." panting and hos body trembling a bit more as he could feel his blood slowly trail down his ever growing pale skin, Wyatt tried to catch his breath before continue. "The captain just says the employer handles the integrations with some magical help and sometimes asks us for some help as his little lizard things ain't big enough to help! But hey, those fancy mages ain't strong like your highlander here, I'm sure he, might let you all, go if... it means his rope, doesn't get torn in a... fi-" Looking to have trouble keeping his eyes open, before he could finish speaking, his trembling pale body slowed to a halt as he appeared to fall unconscious.

After hearing the various questions form Azzen, she remained quiet for a bit, still nervous and shaking. But once she saw Wyatt fallen unconscious, the tiefling girl look up to the face Azzen with her dark and faint purple tinted eyes, now appearing not as timid. "Um... Celeste. Celeste Darkh. I don't know how long its been since I've been here. I only remember being woken up and brought into a nearby room where this elf man asked someone strapped to a chair if they recognized me. When they didn't know me and well." She looked over to the unconscious Wyatt and continued to softly speak. "This happened for a few times until one of my guardians, Layla was in the chair. She tried lying about knowing me, but the elf man only smirked as he ordered someone like Wyatt to-" She paused as one hand tried to reach for her horn, but instead reached for her eyes as tears once again ran down her face. Now a bit closer to Najila as she sank into her veil and robes and trying to speak in between her cries, she tried to continue "They pulled me away, blinded folded, and in this cell. I probably woke you all up. After a bit of time to calm herself, she looked to Azzen once more "If you can, stop with all the questions, it just reminds me, of the elf man."
Since everyone else has posted and nothing crazy is happening, I'm going to make a post to push things a bit.
Seeing the crew have a very brief celebration of pushing back the sea creatures, Caeda smiled and minizing the loss, especially Azure. As everyone prepared to leave the storm, Caeda gave a simple nod to the lizardman's request as she looked around the the deck to see if there was anyone that needed help being brought inside the the ship. Once every wounded person inside, she made a quick stop to her quarters to make sure Othie was still find and tell her that everything is now okay outside. But would leave and lock the door of her quarters, telling the pixie that she was going to see if there was anything else that she could help with while they sail out of the storm. If nothing else, she would planning to take a nice long rest in her quarters after today's encounter.

So I’m chatting to the child while donning the leather armour.
Not aware of the tail.

Now unless I’m at advantage, I got a nat one on insight...
What does that mean? I think everything she says is filthy lies?


Again just to keep in mind that it takes 1 min to don the armor. Wyatt did speak for awhile. So if everyone is planning to stay in the jail room during that time, you don't have to worry about initiative or wait for a post from me (unless your waiting for Wyatt to speak). If someone leaves the jail room, then I may have to describe what you may find when scouting ahead.

Also for that nat 1, I think Azzen might think she may be still be very afraid and could be saying anything. Its not a definite feeling from the insight, but a good maybe that she may not be the most reliable source for info.
