@Alesia_BH I know, I'm in my happy place 😁

Sorsha, human bard: Part 33 - continued Our first task in Ust Natha was to rescue Phaere. I admit that fighting Chandrilla and her party en route to the meeting point with Soulafein is a questionable move from the role playing perspective, but unfortunately the Underdark is already a dangerous...

Lol, the slight irony of this is that I couldn't wait to leave the entire academia behind after finishing my master's all those years ago :)

Thank you - I'm truly humbled, especially since it's coming from one of the giants on whose shoulders Sorsha has been standing 😊 By the way, I'm slowly catching up on all of the last years' posts in this thread as so far it's been a treat, both literally and tactically! So big thanks to...

Sorsha, human bard: Part 32 - continued As Bodhi would have said, that certainly was educational. This encounter revealed a gnawing gap in our inventory, of which we had been slowly becoming aware even before, and that is lack of anti-Stoneskin weapons. The emperor has no clothes! Our idea was...

Sorsha, human bard: Part 30 - continued We were expecting a yuan-ti party to guard the stone head, so we prepared with a full set of pre-buffs. However, the hallway was empty and instead we proceeded directly to the first major battle on the following level. The yuan-ti were there and so was...

Sorsha, human bard: Part 26 - continued For Dracandros and his band, Sorsha didn't prepare any Contingency and was running SI: D and SI: Ab in addition to her other standard buffs. We did not apply DuHM either. Given that PW: Silence had worked nicely in the previous encounter, we tried to...

Sorsha, human bard: Part 26 - continued Onto our second test subject - Captain Dennis. This time we have slightly adjusted our pre-buffs, notably by running PfMW - "See Enemy" contingency, while improved invisibility was applied in advance via Shadow Door. We also had SI: D and SI: C...
