I used Virtual Battle Mat with players who had never seen it before, and it was perfect! No setup for the players, immediately easy to pick up and use, it worked really well, and we had a wonderful time playing. #ttrpg #vtt #sponsored @serpentcult.bsky.social

DnD 5.5’s new Lightning Ring spell is Spirit Guardians with no guardrails. It is stupid and crazy and powerful in all the ways that we should expect from level 8 spells, but I still don’t know if WotC understands exactly how busted it is. #dnd #2024dnd #arcanaunleashed

GM gave us a peek behind the screen: apparently Kingmaker wants us to have already visited Varnhold before we move to the next chapter. There has been exactly no mention of Varnhold to this point in any of the official content. They expected us to just... wander into it? What?

Problem we hadn't considered: We now have like 30 kids of varying ages and we need to haul them all the way back to wherever they live, which is going to be a multi-week hike. GM wants to hand-wave it. Thank god. My Bard is not built for parenting.

We can apparently reach through the books into the altar. Cleric casts a spell that summons magic stairs, and the kids climb them up through the altar. We finally found them!

Rogue is playing good cop. Brought a book to the altar. The glowy purple candle light translated the book. Rogue can't read. Cleric got impatient. Grabbes the book and hurls it onto the altar. The text reads "here lies the people of this town"

Rogue has been fleeing the entire fight. Our martials are doing <5 damage per hit. But our wizard brought it down with his last Force Barrage!

Apparently this guy's worst save is Fortitude, which is exciting for me. I might actually get to Slow something successfully!

The ghost used its ghostly wail to scare everybody, but I dropped Counterperformance and rolled high enough to critically succeed. Saved everyone in the party except the Rogue, who was 5 feet outside of range.

The ghost wants us to give him the book so that he can bring it to the altar. Why? We're rolling initiative. If all this guy wanted was to hold the book, he could have just asked politely. I swear, no one in the Stolen Lands knows how to say "please" anymore.

The book is magic. Wizard found two more with the help of Detect Magic. He hit one with Dispel Magic. It seems to have worked, so now he and the commander are flipping through it. The text is still illegible, though.

We asked where the villagers are. Carissa says that they're here. There are no doors other than the main entrance. The whole building is a giant hollow rectangle. 9 pews and the altar. Nowhere to hide.

She's giving us some extremely vague answers in a very reassuring voice. Apparently the lead hag who we recently killed asked Carissa to stay here. Not a good sign.

Our Rogue wants to sneak in, so I'm creating a distraction. GM: "How do you do this?" Me:

I did some retraining recently to shuffle some features around, and I think I'm happy with where I land. I've gotten through two fights, and everything I added is making a much bigger impact than what I dropped. Hymn of Healing has been especially useful.
