Quasi Dungeons and Dragons

(@drafter- so, it seems we'll all have an opportinity to get shots in at the west ghoul before merlin casts Turn Dead? If we can kill it will the one further down the hall see Merlin and be affected?)

(Does this mean it defenseless? It can still dodge if there's nowhere to move, so while it's moving, it can't block, dodge, makes saves against spells, etc.?)

(The current order of battle is you, the ghouls, then everyone else, so they'll be able to get shots in. They're restrained at the moment (as they climb out of their holes) so your attack against them will be better and their attacks will be reduced. If they are turned, they have to use their movement to move as far away from Eikka as they can and cannot willingly move closer. They can't take reactions, which basically just means they can't make opportunity attacks (reacting to a spell or effect to make a save isn't considered a reaction in this context). For their action, they can't attack, and must use the Dash action to continue moving or, if they cannot move anymore, must use the Dodge action.)

I use chill hand and switch the damage type to radiant.

(Maybe I should have casted magic missle 🤔)

(Update hasn't been posted yet, so amending it might be possible)

(I'll just cast it next round)

(In other news, I might reroll into a Paladin)

Cast magic missile on the hurt ghoul. Deal radiant damage.

(assuming I still and have needed the torch correct?)

(So long as there are no penalties for switching targets I shall attack the one south and use surge I think it was to gain an additional attack if I recall it correctly, if there is a penalty I will attack the same one and use surge if that is how it's used)

Sheildbash mace combo on the  ghoul closest to me that is not fleeing

(Simpler? 😓)

Vicious Mockery on the ghoul to the west

( Meh. I'll still steal. I'll help the rich with the whole Matthew 19:24 thing.)

(Any tips btw?)

(I won't tell you what to do but the party seems like it works pretty well just like we are and I'd rather have a mage for backup than a paladin.)

(Do we have a tank?)

(We have a fully armored fighter)

(well, him being a paladin would give us another heavily armored player. I don't understand why you don't go rogue? If ur wanting to be a thief, actually being one would probably be a really good idea 😂😂

Plus we do have a tank in a human fighter. we could honestly use a ranger or a rogue. Rogue being the more standard choice of the two. But Ranger is a very good alternative(ex: Drizz't Do'Urden) to that class.)

(Rogue is...a choice actually. Hm)

Or you could just specialize in stealth/deception spells keep you charachter and be sort of a rogue wizard. The advantage beingbthe you could cast invisibility on any of us while being sneaky only hides you.

(Can do this as well once I get level 2 spells 😂.)

(wizard/sorcerer is a pretty important role in a party too. I like the way ur going with it thus far..if anything maybe re-roll to a different school, stats, cantrips, race, skills, background, etc. that suit a thief type character as Merlin is pointing out?)

Cast radiant magic missiles at Ghoul 1

(will the ghouls get the opportunity to attack Roberts previous to any potential second wind use?)

(He can apply it retroactively for his previous turn as a bonus action)

(Dope, so) I cast Vicious Mockery on the south ghoul, and give a Bardic Inspiration die to Roberts as a bonus action.
