haldir Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Definitely, my D&D players. Fun night at the FLGS running Ghosts of Saltmarsh. We got a new player, so it was nice to see some new blood at the table. The players went into a room with a fireplace as they seen a glint of something shiney. They were set upon by 2 spider swarms. After initiative rolls & a couple players went, it was the spider's turn. I grab 2 d20s & declare which is for whom & threw em down, 2 natural 20s. I don't think I've ever done that one before (2 20s in a row, yes, all the time, just never in 2 separate attacks). The paladin ate 18 points of damage & the rogue took 14. Both characters are 1st level so both went down. The party did finish off the swarms (the drunk monk killed both....ok then) & was able to stabilize the rogue. The paladin did his death saves & it came down to a 50/50 roll & he succeeded. The treasure turned out to be a 5 sp quartz crystal!! The human fighter took the sphere (it's a counterweight used in a alchemist tool set) & just chucked it out a broken window. HA HA (Loved the reaction on that one!). The party finished off the 1st & 2nd levels of the house, they've explored the cellar but they didn't go into the skeleton room yet or find the secret door to the tunnels. They'll do that next Weds! Funny thing is they are afraid of fireplaces now. 2 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 It was so nice here this past weekend & up to yesterday. It was like in the 80s, pleasant & overall not hot. Where did that go? Oh right mountain west, USA... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My twisted mind made me visualize Hermann Goering on a plate with an apple in his mouth! 😊 Nasi is Indonesian for Rice. Goreng is Indonesian for fried/baked, so Nasi Goreng means Fried Rice Goering was a Nazi... Commander of the Luftwaffe ( Air Force).. I'm pretty sure he would not make a great dish.. 3 hours ago, Skallabjorn said: The names of the dishes sound Dutch or perhaps Indonesian. Just a guess on my part. Just did a quick search. Indonesian. Indeed it is, see above. Indonesia had been a Dutch Colony for over 300 years, hence our cultures have influenced each other especially in the food department. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManvsMini Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Morning... but it's Thursday morning, so it must be trivia time to see what happened on August 12th: 1851 – American inventor Isaac Singer was granted a patent for his sewing machine. 1865 – Joseph Lister, British surgeon and scientist, performed the first antiseptic surgery; his research with chemically cleaning wounds, operating tools/tables and washing hands led to fewer post-surgical infections. He'd eventually be named "the father of modern surgery." 1990 – Sue, one of the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons found to date, was discovered by Sue Hendrickson in South Dakota. 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fireplace is a deathtrap! my group had a similar experience, except it was the warlock rooting around in the fireplace whom the swarms descended on and the rest of the party started attacking the swarm while it was still on the warlock.. with lit oil... the warlock survived (death save mechanic) but from then on had a healthy fear of both fire places and spiders! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Duncan's swashbuckler when Grump ran it in Pathfinder. He stabilized just one HP before hitting his Con limit and died. One more round, and he'd be generating a new PC. It's never the big monsters that kill us, it's always the nuisance monsters. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the way her father taught her. Since he’s passed, he cannot be asked. He also took his steak sauce and salad dressing recipes to the grave as well. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
