Huge thanks to our sponsor Conqueror's Blade for providing us the hamb that keeps Lumi fed! Having received her tribute she will now return to her slumber and we will live to see another sunrise... For now.

GM: You're all nearing encumbrance; you'll have to leave it all behind.
Player: I'll drop this item that seemed like it was gonna be important, but never was.
Gm: *sweats in McGuffin*

"Being a DM is a lot like herding cats."
That's... disturbingly accurate.

[Arkainjel]

*dons glasses* Ahem!
TECHNICALLY, she drank the potion before he was even aware of her presence. Since combat hadn't even started yet, the punch would've been an unarmed attack as a MAJOR action during a surprise round, or at the very least beat his initiative and got her attack off first.

And just to take "real time" into consideration, it's ten seconds between when she starts drinking the potion to when she throws a punch. Two separate rounds.

[VivaLaDnDLogs]

Andrius should *absolutely* be able to pull out a mirror and inspire himself. That is such a Bard move.

[evadevore]

I don’t know, I feel like the cat makes a lot of good points...

[sweeneypod]

I love how as each of them use the rules to their advantage they don a pair of glasses. Like glasses are some kind of enchanted item that enhances rule manipulation. I feel simultaneously targeted and flattered as a DM who wears glasses.

[jevanking]

The sass with which he closed that chest was just... *chef’s kiss*

[CCartman]

Don't make Nixie have to remember to buy material components for fireball. She's gonna carry around a pet bat everywhere and describe in elaborate detail how she collects it's poop.

[FiresofDarkness]

I love how each of them had glasses to mock the DM with

[RODo]

Where is the warlock guy? I really wanted to know how his backstory would develop

Material components for Fireball are not consumed when casting it. She doesn't need them unless she lost them.

[Fridelain]

I just remembered when the DM put a wall to wall swimming pool as an obstacle in a corridor inside a goblin cave, because nobody had put points on swimming. It was saltwater, so we could not use it to fill our canteens. I knew from reading the rulebook salt was kinda expensive, so we emptied the pool using the goblins' cauldron, homemade buckets using wood from the nearby forest, set them on the sun to dry, and made a tidy profit (we brought a cart), also rendering the pool dry to cross. After killing the things that lurked in the waters, of course.

[ErutaniaRose]

My entire group: "TALKING IS A FREE ACTION!" We have kept that for four years.

[moonlight]

AHA! Fire ball needs material components THAT AREN'T CONSUMED! Unless Nixie got robbed or lost her component pouch, she should be able to cast that spell, as she did before! Also, although Athreos or whatever couldn't inspire himself, he should be allowed to do something else since attempting to do an illegal action DOES NOT consume your action! LAWYERED!

[TheScribeScribe]

Opposite day idea. Have the DM become ALL the characters in his own short adventure with the 3 stooges as his DM.

[jakubkolnik]

Probably fake, she didn't eat the vial.

[linkboynine]

The DM, moments before being strangled by angry murder-hobos:
"...and so you see, you can't carry all this gold, because gold has *weight"*

[wipeoutmax]

I'm just happy you guys are back. But denying Nixie her fireball is just cruel. #JusticeForNixie 😂
