You're gonna have to be a little quicker than that! 😂

I turn away, slinging my bow back over my shoulder as I do. Deftly jumping onto the table in the center of the room, I pull out my lute and begin playing it(channel cast). A lighthearted melody at odds with the barrage of insults I level at the mimic.(cast Vicious Mockery on Mimic)

(@drafter- is underlining the technical actions taken within parentheses as I just did acceptable for future posts?)

(I'm pretty sure mimics are weak against fire at least they used to be in older editions of the game.)

(idk about the fire weakness,but can examine it to figure out. And other creatures in the future.)

@ Drafter, is that a perception(WIS) or investigation(INT) check?)

What's funny is that our characters are probably about as sure as we are.

(we're doing pretty good so far fmpov. 5 monster fight and only a few close calls 👏👏. best course of action after this fmpov is short rest. Get Earth his spells slots back and heal up.

We should take the cloak and orb, but be ready to fight cause I'm worried the skeletons might activate on doing so 😓)

Then proceed to the source of the chanting 👌).

Agreed we won't get everything back with a short rest but whatever we do get will help, and I think we will need it.

(Eikka wouldn't like it but out of character it might be best if we call back and regroup and tackle this after we can long rest again. If we don't have time for a long rest we likely don't have time for a short rest either, even if we take a day.)

I think we are about to get into something much larger than we've encountered so far, we should be at full strength, or as close as possible.

yes, but it's the last monster and with all of us attacking it, shouldn't be too difficult I don't think.

(I agree, but at this point short resting will just heal us a little bit. Not much else to do for awhile, so we gotta make do with what we have after getting the heal from short resting. 

@Merlin- remember you have scrolls from the secret room that can be used)

Of the group, only Eikka finds herself able to read the magical writings. They are a scroll of bless, protection from poison, and spiritual weapon. 👏

(I say after we finnish of this mimic we camp right there in the doorway. Even if it takes twenty in game hours I'm not sure how much more we can take.)

I don't think it quite works that way. Best we can do right now is a short rest to heal, but a long rest is otherwise unavailable 😂.  You still have a coupe spell slots, I have one. Earth is out but thats fine cause he has chill hand as a cantrip. We're not in bad shape by any means fmpov 👏)

(Why can't we just hunker down as long as it takes to make the twenty four hours and then another eight? Are you in  hurry? Not with your real time but with in game hours? This has kept for 200 years it will keep for another day or two.)

Ripples appear in the doorway as the mimic shudders from the psychic onslaught of the Bards vicious barbs.

[Vicious Mockery Damage: d4 (4) = 4 psychic damage]

The mimic reaches out with a pseudopod and attempts to latch onto Roberts, but it is too demoralized to make contact.

Grahf, on the other side of the mimic/door casts another radiant touch on the shapeshifter while Roberts continues to hack and slash. A viscous, grey ooze begins to seep from the cracks appearing on its exterior.

[Ranged Spell Attack: d20 (13) + 5 = 18, Hit!]
[Chill Touch Damage: d8 (4) = 4 radiant damage]
[Melee Weapon Attack: d20 (14) + 5 = 19, Hit!]
[Longsword Damage: d8 (7) + 3 = 10slashing damage]

Eikka decides to switch it back to crossbow and fires a bolt into the door but it bounces off, doing no damage.

[Ranged Weapon Attack: d20 (5) + 2 = 7, Miss!]

(Next Round!)

Combat Summary:
[22] Snerp - 5/13 HP - 13 AC - Bardic Inspiration: ⭘⭘ | Spell Slots: 1⬤⭘⭘
[16] Mimic - Bloodied

(There is nothing mechanically stopping you from saying you are going to, in-game, twiddle your fingers to pass the time until you can long rest again. There is also nothing mechanically stopping me from throwing a wandering monster at you every 5 minutes if that strategy is abused. I understand that it is necessary at low levels like these sometimes, but if you try pulling that at level 7... well, I have contingencies for that. }:) )

(Probably 6 or 7 hours. Combat takes more time IRL than in game time. Each round is only 6 seconds)

Almost there, she's about to break!

I drop my lute and pull out my bow. Taking aim at the creatures mouth, I loose an arrow the moment I see the mimic open it.(fire arrow at mimic.).

(Roughly. I'm not going to like, pull out a stop watch or anything. But I had one group once that started getting into the habit of: wake up, have a single encounter, return to base and wait it out for the next day.

Things did not end well for them.)
