The orc NPC manages to throw a flask of oil onto the Mind Flayer.
The Triton hits the Salamander causing a (homebrew) explosion pushing the Magma Mephit back, which also exploded, IGNITING the Mind Flayer.

And then The Great Goldfish Heist was in motion!

#DnD The Cleric casts guidance on the Monk.

The Monk uses Mage Hand (from homebrew training) to grab SYLGAR from next to XANATHAR and, using ALL her movement, absolutely LEGGED IT something like 135ft away.

#DnD

Doing a weird thing with the Xanathar's Fighting Arena.

Players will have their first flashback to it today, but it's the last fight, where they escape.

They'll escape into Skullport, then hopefully find someone who can get them to the surface.

#DnD I realised that I wanted to get the players out of it, and was more excited for that than anything.

This is a setup thing. Makes it much easier to do flashback combats.

Oof, lot to unload from today's #dnd :

They joined the Xanathar's Fighting Pits, and had magical anklet fitted which will alert them when fights are about to occur.

This means that their characters will be level 6 for many of the fights and will essentially do in flashback. M Monk visited Hlam on the side of Mount Waterdeep and learned various abilities:
Mage Hand
Absorb Elements 3/day
Protection from Energy 1/day

Not overpowered.
Not stepping on toes of other characters. <-- that's the important bit

#DnD

I need a good pinned tweet, so here is a brief (haha) synopsis of my ambitious "World of Splendors" campaign that uses the Forgotten Realms setting & mixes both official #DnD5e content with homebrew.

#DnD #DnD5e #TTRPG #homebrew We started with some in depth character creation using Xanathar's Guide to Everything.

Then I began the campaign with the first chapter of "Waterdeep: Dragon Heist" .

The party get together and have to find Volo's friend, delving into a Xanathar's Guild hideout.
