Okay, thought of a kinda cool, albeit kamikaze, plan to deal with this sneaky serpent.
What if I went full on John Wayne, made my rope (I have rope in my pack) into a lasso and threw it over the naga's head? Then we all grab on and pull the snakey down.
Or, is there a source of fire anywhere? What about Uthal's torch? Are nagas afraid of fire? I could use my control flames cantrip to create a fireball and try and scare the naga away. Or would that just piss it off? Can Thäoran see the naga from where he is? Even just a murky outline/silhouette?
So, which one? The rope or the flame? Or neither?

I've messaged Alverstar asking if he can provide a date that he'll be able to return. I'm giving him until Tuesday. If he doesn't reply back by then, I said I'm going to send Möhmal on a side quest. That way, the rest of the party can still move on and Möhmal can rejoin the party whenever Alverstar is ready.

Guys, I really want to move on with this. Is it okay if we continue without Möhmal for the time being?
@Tom: In my next DM post, is it alright that I say Legion pulls the hiding orc out of the caravan to question him? Because the orc still fighting is going to be dead this turn, which just leaves the hiding orc remaining.

I say we reinforce a crumbly area with wood from the previous area and continue seeing as we're meant to be going forward.

I'm still in this. I haven't posted because there's nothing really for Thäoran to do at the moment.

Alverstar DM'd me. He said he's still in it so I'll wait for him to post. I think it's his turn next.

Don't know what to do, guys. Alverstar has gone MIA. And I had a really good plot set up, too. Game of Thrones style. Are you two okay to carry on? I'll take control of Möhmal or create a new character. Might be easier to just take control of Möhmal.
What do you guys think?

Hey, guys. Won't have internet for about a week starting this Sunday.
Nomad, if you need to take control of Thäoran while I'm gone, please do so.

'The spell seems harmless,' Thäoran said. 'Just a means to acquire fresh air in a place when otherwise there would be none. I am more interested about what this place is used for. An execution chamber, perhaps? If so, why execute animals? What crimes have they commited? No. I think this is more of a ritualistic sacrifice chamber for practitioners of dark magic.' A frown creased his smooth brow. 'Though for what end I know not. This may warrent further, but careful, examination. If left unchecked, it may threaten many creatures.'

Btw, what class is Möhmal? Cleric or Druid? Or something else?

Subject: @Nomad
I was thinking of making the burst ability be affected by obstructions. Like if the object in the way is thin, such as thin wooden beams, the enemy would still be hurt, but not as much (like you said). Thicker, stronger things like stone walls. metal etc would block it entirely. Thought that would make logical sense.
So shall I edit my DM post so the orc behind the caravan takes 1hp damage?

Subject: I Have My Doubts...
Thäoran gave a short and quiet sigh as the others agreed with Hornet's suggestion of venturing down the carved tunnel. Thinking this was a mistake because of the enemies that could lurk within, the elf set his jaw in a grim frown and adjusted the grip on the hilt of his falchion, preparing himself for whatever unpleasant surprises he was sure would inevitably be coming his way in the gloom of the tunnel depths.
'I say this is a mistake,' he spoke up, giving voice to his concerns. 'The tunnel is narrow, thus allowing us very little room in which to maneuver. We may find ourselves in a dire situation with little chance of escape. But,' he continued, sighing once again, 'it seems I have been outvoted, so I shall venture onto the path you chose. Let us be off.'

Okay, DM post is up!
@Nomad, I'm still a bit rusty on the burst ability. I assumed that if there was an obstruction between the enemy and the burst sparks, the enemy wouldn't be hit because the obstruction (such as the caravan) would protect them. Is this right? If not, tell me and I'll edit my post accordingly.
@Alverstar: How much hp does Möhmal's hellhound have?

Topic: Fire & Shadow RPG
Subject: Attack!
With the late evening sun lingering low on the horizon, the still-strong rays bathing the land in a glaring brilliance, the party made their decision. They could not turn a blind eye to those in need of assistance. Luck, it seemed, was on the party's side in this battle as the sun's light was at their backs, which would force the orc band to squint into its brightness and hinder their sight.
The jungle elf Möhmal was the first to take action, reaching her slender hand into the pouch securely fastened at her belt and producing a miniature carving of a canine. As she uttered her incantation, the wood ((OOC: I assume its wood. Or is it clay?)) grew and transformed into a snarling, fiery beast that craved its enemies' blood.
After its master issued her order, the hellhound dashed forwards and pounced upon the nearest of the looting Orcs. The fiends were slow to respond, having been taken completely by surprise. The hellhound's victim let loose a gutteral howl as the canine's long fangs sank into the thick skin of his back between the shoulder blades. The orc tried desperately to shake off his attacker and he succeeded though by the way fiend was panting heavily he found it difficult to do. Still, the hound dealt him some damage (-5 hp).
Next to act was the young Owlin warrior Azax. Spreading his broad wings, the owl man quickly took to the air, rising swiftly over the caravan and those who surrounded it. From his vantage point, he could see the seven traders cowering behind the caravan, trying their utmost to keep out of the ensuing struggle. Azax ignored them, hoping that he and his companions would give the orcs enough of a distraction to keep their attention away from the traders. Instead, the Owlin nocked an arrow into his trusty bow and drew it with a sure touch. The feathers of the shaft brushed the side of his rounded face as he took aim at the four orcs who stood at the rear of the caravan. One of the orcs reacted quicker than his companions, however, and, despite the sun blinding him, just managed to make out what appeared to be a large bird holding a bow. The orc swiftly ducked behind the caravan for cover and the arrow would have missed him and been embedded in the wood of the vehicle-if Azax had been aiming at him. Instead, the Owlin's intended target was the orc's companion that was stood next to him and the arrowhead struck him squarely between the eyes, causing the monster to instantly crumple lifeless to the rocky ground. Sparks radiated from the arrow, striking the three other orcs, who also collapsed, overcome ((yep, dead)). But the one that had ducked behind the caravan remained unharmed, the sparks instead scorching the wood and producing an acrid stench. The fiend bellowed loudly in rage at seeing his brethren slain and redied his crossbow, taking aim at the winged warrior. Letting the crudely made bolt fly, the orc remained half concealed behind his 'shield'-the traders' caravan-so as to make it that much more difficult for his enemies to strike. Despite the orc's efforts, the black bolt flew wide and missed the Owlin.
The final warrior to act was the warforged Legion. Emboldened by his companions' success, the iron-clad automiton raised his own crossbow and took aim at the partly hidden orc, but due to the warforged's lack of nightvision and the fact that the orc wasn't completely exposed, Legion's bolt failed to deliver a killing shot, instead burying itself in the monster's left shoulder, causing him to growl in pain and anger ((-5 hp. Plus he's bleeding so an extra -1hp bleeding damage every round after this round. This is my own rule I made up. Thought it makes sense because he's losing blood so he'll get weaker)).
By now, the final orc who had been inside the caravan and thus safe, now emerged, swiveling his head in confusion.
''Ere, now, what's goin' on, then?' Azax heard him squeak. Upon seeing his dead companions, he uttered a squeal of what sounded like surprise and fright. The cowardly orc dashed back inside the confines of the caravan's wall in a desperate, albeit unhelpful, attempt at reletive safety. The other remaining orc grunted in disapproval at his companion's cowardice.
--Overview--
Five orcs dead, one injured (-5 hp. No bleeding damage on this turn, so it's just the -5hp). The smallest orc taking shelter inside the caravan and didn't attack (too much of a big wuss haha). Traders still taking shelter behind the caravan.

Yeah, but more loot could equal more danger. But I guess more battles also equal more EXP and more levelling up.

Worked stone, imo, might mean an increased chance of being inhabited because it's 'forged' stone if that makes sense. So I say take the natural one.

Aren't we planning on going deeper into the Vargolg? I say we take the smooth tunnel.
@Nomad: I know you can't reveal exactly where the natural tunnel goes, but does it lead deeper into the Vargolg? Or does it stick to near the outer cliff walls? Is the smooth tunnel the only one that goes deeper?
