It is indeed 38! Been keeping track with D&D Beyond's app
Thank god because if it was 28 I DID NOT balance this encounter properly and you would have died lmao

YEAAAAAH
As the DM alignment chart put it, "following the rules gets in the way of my fun" lmao.
No worries at all my friend even if you can't get to it. Hylia knows I've been on that same level before lol.
Actually, response is about done! It's something quick since Oro is just going to be attacking. Just two quick questions. Will Oro need to do a stealth check in this post before or after attacking if at all? If they are considered hidden would they get advantage for these attacks?
They are currently hidden and will get advantage, and yes you will need to reroll stealth as long as you're in enemy territory. Especially since now Oro is in the midst of the monster crowd, that spell is the only thing keeping you out of sight right now
They'll be dropping concentration on the spell right before attacking, should I do a stealth roll without the +10?
Very nice, and I think that's fair yes. No +10 (but Oro is def gonna realize how out in the open they are immediately, so you can go ahead and write how that looks/feels
Oro is a menace to society confirmed! lol
If you edit your previous post with an acrobatics check I'll go ahead and edit the result in before the next round of posts. Good move, by the way.

So, I feel this is a great time to talk about Attacks of Opportunity. This rule is taken into account when a Player Disengages with an Enemy they were previously "locked up" with. In combat, I'm sure you get what I'm saying. Now, some people treat this rule to be anytime you move out of melee range. Melee range being Five Feet. I think from a realistic perspective, a fight varies from far wider ranges strike-to-strike than a mere five foot block, and moving around the enemy like you just described is perfectly logical when attacking. So I don't think you should be penalized for something that makes sense.

Sorry to make you the sounding board of the exposition, but you did pass that charisma check fair and square lol. Now at least we all have plenty to read while you all formulate your respective next-moves.
Yeah I get it.. I think
Where I would trigger an Attack of Opportunity, is if you move more than fifteen feet in a deliberate attempt to get away. This means your enemy will get advantage on their next attack against you. Now, retreat can be strategic at times and if your movement is higher than your enemy it can pay off by way of hiding and attacking from stealth again or what have you. Just know that it is a risk. Another tactic at your disposal. This same rule applies to enemies trying to get away from you. This larger number of fifteen feet is so that your character can lead an enemy on should you have some strategy which requires you to do so. Without suffering overly from game mechanics.
**Openly glares at DnD Basic Rules**
Does that all make sense?
When in doubt, just remember fifteen feet
Lol all good, what a great story chunk to dive into.
Thankyou for the compliment. I wasn't sure if you'd all be like "why tf should I care about this random NPC's family history," but then I thought it was a perfect way to frame how fragile the world around us is. Glad you liked it.

while you add that, please represent your rations and other items on your RPN character sheet when you get a second
