I dunno - erm. Is there a rule change that might help? Erm, TricksterArcane's character got a feat at the level 13 update. What's that? Can I somehow use that, too?
Check it with @Gregorotto, but IIRC you could make changes to your character as per this:

It's not that I don't like discord, it is just that I'm already here so why go somewhere else to talk.
The discussion in discord's been lots of fun, enriched with dank memes and cryptic memes leaning towards Irish folklore, as expected.

To me @Feuerrabe, number 3 sounds more like it, sort of reminds me of the setting in Star Wars Andor. The idea there is an NPC that knows of her and also believes she was not instrumental to the achievements in her backstory makes it more real, and it gives something to relate to. The letter she carries makes more sense this way.

Krone Skalmǫld ∴ ᛋᚴᛅᛚᛘᛅᛚᛏ
Background: Hero of Might & Magic (Custom).
Race: Elvish (Custom).Krone Skalmǫld, an elvish woman from the enigmatic Lands of Intrigue, is a figure of striking allure, standing at 155 cm with snow-white skin and eyes shimmering in ethereal blues and violets. Her silver tresses cascade around her face, framing features that hint at a lineage steeped in mystery and power. Draped in a black leather ensemble, her form is veiled in a cloak reminiscent of a piwafwi, adding an air of mystique to her presence. Yet beneath this beguiling exterior lies the subtle traces of her draconic heritage—a delicate tapestry of scales adorning patches of her alabaster skin, her blood coursing through her veins like the essence of midnight. She emits a sweet scent with notes of vanilla flowers and almonds, akin to bibliosmia, and sometimes cedarwood. Her hair is styled in a braid or braids, with a long forelock. Physically, she is lean, fit, and slightly below average in height.
Despite her elven heritage, Krone possesses a remarkable trait that sets her apart—she bears the appearance of a human. This trait, a quirk of her ancestry, adds another layer of intrigue to her persona, shrouding her in an aura of mystery that belies her true nature.
Her name, Krone Skalmǫld, signifies "Crown of War". She is armed with a silvered dagger embellished with elven, jotun and draconic inscriptions that read:
Gold sparks strife 'mongst kin, the sea's wild pyre, and serpent's winding trail.
Frost shields streams' trunks, crowns ocean's crest, and seals fate's final fall.
Day's orb guards the heavens, casts beams bright, and melts frost's grasp.
PrologueKrone was born to a Shadar-Kai mother in the Shadowfell, she was raised in the Underdark at the request of the Raven Queen; her father's identity remains unknown. Krone's draconic lineage traces back to the ancient black Dragon Synn; because of this, her blood appears darker than usual, resembling black ichor.
Once hailed as “the Traveler”, Krone's journey began centuries past, her path intertwined with the dusty archives of academia and the lure of distant horizons. A seeker of forgotten lore and arcane artifacts, she traverses the realms with boundless curiosity, her thirst for knowledge matched only by her insatiable hunger for adventure. Unbound by the shackles of convention, her actions are guided by the compass of personal freedom and a thirst for discovery, often defying the norms of propriety and expectation. Krone's allegiance lies not with laws or institutions, but with the pursuit of truth; yet, she remains steadfast in her commitments, honoring promises with a fierce determination born of her indomitable will.
Having completed rigorous training in both martial and arcane disciplines, Krone embarked on a journey to explore the vast world and pursue a quest to further refine her abilities. Aligned with the mysterious Raven Queen, her path is fueled not only by allegiance but also by a deep-seated thirst for vengeance. And so, with purpose as her guide and vengeance as her creed, Krone arrived at the powerful city-state of Hillsfar, where the call of destiny and the promise of her future converge in a symphony of fate and magic.
Krone has been working (and has established herself) as a sellsword under the law of trade; she carries a letter of introduction from the merchant guilds she has been working with, including their positive reviews.
Downtime: Sellsword, leveling up (Wizardry), learning languages.
Where Do We Go From Here? Happy to advance to the next installments of the adventurer or new stories.
Treasure wish-list: Arcane grimoire, Braces of defense, Cloak of displacement, Hackmaster+12 Rapier, Pearl of power, Ruby of the war-mage, Vorpal Rapier. -

Hello. I might have instigated this but I've very glad that Grego obliged. I've been playing D&D since the red box (yes, I'm that old) but stopped when 3e just came out cause all my buddies moved away to college. I picked up 5e again a few years ago to satisfy the curiosity of some work mates and haven't stopped since. I'm happy to have my buddies back online where we play every other weekend and we alternate duties of DMing.
Ah yes, I read this was the game you requested. Nice to see it live!

Hey there!As this game comes to a close, I want to express my gratitude for the dedication and effort invested in our collective journey.I've relished the opportunity to immerse myself in D&D and explore its depths, and for that, I am thankful. Delving into the world of PBP gaming has been a rewarding venture too, the shared moments of triumph made for an unforgettable adventure and helped craft friendship.Reflecting on our journey, it's clear that the recent slowdown stemmed from the module’s systemic issues, particularly evident within the gnome's cave; the stark contrast in complexity posed unforeseen challenges… sensory impairments, wild magic, indifferent NPCs and whatnot; the abrupt shift in atmosphere may have contributed to the struggle.Moving forward, I intend to delve deeper into the mechanics of this system, armed with newfound insights gleaned from our experiences. Should I find myself running the essential kit, I will be better equipped to navigate potential pitfalls.In offering feedback, I would suggest fostering proactive communication amongst players. Not only does this aid in clarifying rules and mitigating misunderstandings, but it also fosters collaboration and camaraderie, enriching the overall gaming experience.If feasible, I kindly request keeping the thread accessible for consultation purposes. I foresee the need to revisit my character template in the future, and having continued access to it would greatly facilitate any future endeavors or reference needs. Your consideration in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Once again, thanks for your investment throughout this adventure. Though our journey together may be ending, the memories forged and lessons learned will endure. -
@Dorik Sounds about right!
Changing topics, Happy Easter to those that celebrate it. Cheers! -

Katya just used up her second wildshape, so until we get somewhere safe, she's probably staying in bear form!
I am impressed by such a bold action, shapeshifters are quite imposing.

Oh that is right.

So I’m not entirely sure what that second post is about.if you feel I do not get your intended actions, state them clearly. You wrote you move backwards, where do yo move to and how far? If you don’t provide that information I will rule your position based on MY understanding where you are. In this case still in the line if sight of the crossbow. I’ll take back the ruling about your character being hit, but I must insist on clarity of action declaration for the future.Thanks,Vala has maintained a vigilant stance throughout our journey through the caves, keeping her guard up and adopting a defensive posture whenever potential threats arose. If you believe we should provide more technical descriptions, I'm completely open to adjusting our approach.Regarding the recent encounter, we were forewarned about the possibility of traps and informed about the gnomes' security measures against intruders. Thus, when you emphasized that "actions have consequences," apart from approaching a gnome stationed on a turret as a complete stranger, I would have suggested a more cautious approach, gathering the group to assess the situation carefully.However, Gilavar initiated contact with Faktore, the gnome. At this point, Vala made way for Gilavar and inspected the turret before assuming a defensive stance, which I explicitly mentioned before combat ensued.The gnome's reaction to Gilavar, pointing his turret at the party, initiated combat. And according to the initiative order, here's a breakdown of events:Pre-Combat:- Gilavar approached the gnome and engaged in conversation (Vala allowed Gilavar to approach).- Vala inspected the turret from afar, and prepared defensively.- The gnome reacted to Gilavar, initiating combat.Combat Round 1:- Makaria attempted to persuade the gnome to redirect his aim.- Faktore attacked.- Gilavar attempted to retreat.- Katya transformed into a spider.- Vala utilized the dodge action and moved away (following the girls).To clarify, I'm not suggesting that Faktore should or shouldn't have attacked Gilavar. Rather, if Vala was the intended target, she should benefit from both her dodge advantage and partial cover, given Gilavar's initial positioning at the front.Regarding the direction Vala proposed during our retreat, I indicated it in our Out of Character communication. I suggested navigating towards the right corridor, and marked it with a line, whilst leaving a note with Vala's name in OBR (it shows in your screenshots). I was waiting for Makaria and Katya to confirm the direction they chose after the retreat order, prioritizing their safety without neglecting the group's cohesion. Since my actions are aimed at safeguarding the entire party, I would move following the group.

AFAIK Gilavar was at the front, provided he called into the room, doing move and talk:
But even if he retreated, his turns comes after the Gnome in the initiative bracket.
Vala even let him move and talk, and she took her defensive stance before combat started:

1 first bolt hits Vala and deals 10 points of piercing damage, while the second goes entirely wild
Since Vala took a defensive stance from the moment Gilavar talked to the gnome mounted on a turret, I believe both attacks must be rolled with disadvantage. On the other hand, Vala is not in the line of sight or immediately visible.
