LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Wait, I assume the girl with the staff is Chloé, but the scoresheet says on page 1 says she's an elf.

Ratty, a combat turn in D&D consists of:
So the important thing is choosing who to attack or what spell to use, but you can also move or speak or do almost anything else you can think of on the same turn.
- A main action, which is either attacking or using one of your combat spells/items
- Movement, which is optional if you care about moving to a specific place, otherwise it's assumed you just stand in the thick of battle
- Any number of "free actions", which are minor things like picking up items, taking an item out of your bag, speaking, and basically anything else that doesn't significantly affect combat

She starts glowing as rips in the universe itself start to appear
"What... what is happening? AAAHHH!!"
The universe had been reset to earlier in the battle, nobody remembers what happened!
Can this be what happened to explain the reset?
Okay, thats lucky Seiro!
Yeaaah since the server had to be replaced, our last posts were removed. I think my last move was pulling a dagger and stabbing the closest Ice Wraith towards me?
I'll reroll since I don't remember the outcome.
d20: 14 (+5)
d4: 1

We had a whole turn that got erased; we don't have the map any more. I'll wait for Seiromem to make an executive decision what to do.
Holy crap, we lost a lot of posts in here! And to think I was just reading this thread and about to post when RMN fainted. When Aldus planned to break the universe at some point, this was not what I had in mind.
Should we try to piece together what has happened so far, or would you prefer to just redo the parts that were lost, Seiromem? I still remember most of the things we did, so I could probably summarise them to at least give us a starting point.

Oh, I saved all your posts on a google doc to refer to easily while writing up the thing, so no need to redo actions. In fact the only thing I DO need is Aldus' extra action (due to his chaotic roll of 81)
also fuck the map for now, I'm at school.
If the positioning of the creatures was in layers it would go:
2 Ice Wraiths
Enna and Ice Wraith
Agnelia
Spider, Leara, Chloe, Aldus

Oh man, that's awesome, Seiromem! You're the best! Can you repost what happened so far?
See, I knew it. Finally, space and time aren't being so difficult now. Since I already summoned an entity and tried to blind the spider, I will just order the elemental to chase off the Ice Wraiths, while I attempt to climb on top of the giant spider. Maybe this animal could make for a good companion once properly acquainted with us.

Well, I don't have the EXACT posts, but I do have the action themselves and the results of the actions.
Here they are, if you're curious:
-----------Turn the second-----------
Enna, faced with close-combat, quickly stows her bow away and takes out her dagger, slashing at the ice wraith horizontally and taking out a chunk of ice. Enna dagger hand immediately goes numb from the cold the ice wraith exudes. (Critical hit!) Agnelia cracks her whip on the Ice wraith closest to her so violently and suddenly the thing immediately shatters into thousands of pieces. Aldus’ fire elemental charges the ice wraith between Agnelia and Enna, taking a fiery swipe at it. The ice wraith recoils violently and hisses at the elemental as bits it’s body melt away. Leara tries once again to slice at the giant spider, but the spider lazily leaps backwards a few feet, dodging the attack. Chloe gets distracted at the spider’s attempt to swipe at her while she was backing up and the bubble splashes to the ground. She sees an adventurer, a Drow, rush towards the spider in a valiant attack! Such bravery! Chloe decides to try her hand at it, charging the Spider and bonking it ineffectively on one of it’s legs. The spider, unable to shake off it’s fatigue, focuses its effort on the dangerous one as it swipes and bites at the Drow! One swipe is deflected, the second strikes Leara on her calf, and the bite is rendered ineffective by Leara's armor. Aldus takes this opportunity to try to climb on top of the spider, who pushes him back and bites at him, tearing into his groin! Leara feels a new burn from the scratch and Chloe feels the same burn resurfacing.
The ice wraith in front of Enna moves to her side and a burst of freezing air shoots out from it’s maw, the line of cold aimed at her and the fire elemental. The ice wraith facing the fire elemental shifts into the volley of cold that was just shot and attempts to shoot its own, this time targeting the fire elemental and Agnelia. The fire elemental skirts the edge of the first breath, but still freezes up from the cold and bursts into hot, gooey summon matter, which splatters on the second ice wraith and melts it completely, preventing it from shooting a line of cold at Agnelia.
----------------
Chloe must make a constitution saving throw to fend of the lingering poison.!
Enna’s dagger hand is numbed for 1 round and must make a dexterity saving throw!
Agnelia critically struck the Ice Wraith and destroyed it!
Leara has been poisoned and must make a constitution saving throw.
Aldus has been critically struck and takes 2 damage from a bite to his groin, he must make a constitution saving throw.
Ice Wraith 1 took 4 damage from Enna and shot a line of cold at her!
Ice Wraith 2 was destroyed by a Fire Elemental’s death burst.
Ice Wraith 3 was shattered by Agnelia!
The Fire Elemental burst.
The Giant Spider critically struck Aldus for 2 damage, preventing him from mounting the spider.
Here they are, if you're curious:
Chloe: I'd like to go over to the spider and hit it on the head -Misses
Enna: I switch out my bow for my dagger and strike the Ice Wraith directly next to me.
My attack roll is 15(+5) = 20 My damage roll is 4
Agnelia: Attack Ice Wraith 3. I roll a 20 +2 for hit, and a 9 for damage.
Leara misses
Chaotic Summon-Fire Elemental (81) Immediate Action

I rolled a 14 on my saving throw, which turns into a total score of 15.
Ow! This spider is so unnecessarily violent. And for no reason, too. It just doesn't seem to be aware yet that it doesn't even want to eat any of us.
I cast Prestidigitation on the flesh/blood/saliva inside the spider's mouth to give it the most disgusting and rancid taste imaginable.
(I'm not even sure spiders actually have a sense of taste, but either way, that knowledge wouldn't stop Aldus from trying this out.)

Rolled a 15 on my saving throw + 6 = 21
"I guess attacking these things directly was a bad idea." I think to myself as I try to move my own fingers.

(I think it's stable for now, RMN is playing up a bit)
"I can't scratch it... I won't give up... *breathing heavily*"
Runs a bit away from the spider
"You creepy fiend... how... Do you like water? *mumbles under her breath as she pants heavily*"
Casts Create Water around the spider in an attempt to stop it attacking or at least leaving it open. I and possibly others may get caught in it.
Libby showed you my constitution roll for the poison but, for wisdom (casting create water) I roll a 19(plus or minus the modifier, which I'm not sure, I think its +1)
{Oh, I'll edit this because I don't need to roll for casting Create Water}

For that constitution throw, I finally got a good roll in this fight. 18.
I really don't have any useful abilities for a fight except, Hit the spider again. Woohoo! 16! +5!
Edit: Oops, sorry, I forgot that LockeZ and I agreed we should roll damage. I rolled a 5 damage, so with +3, that comes to 8.

I'll attack the remaining ice wraith.
hit roll 14 + 2 = 16
damage roll 4
hit roll 14 + 2 = 16
damage roll 4
Chloe you do not need to roll for any of your spells except for how much you heal with Soothing Wave and to concentrate on Bubble only if you are attacked.
Ratty, did you want to do something? Making a saving throw does not cost anything.

((Oh, my bad. Yeah, I'll add this action in addition to the saving through. Yay newbie mistakes!))
I switch to my bow and use my Pinpoint Shot towards the Ice Wraith.
Do I have to make a regular roll for the bow in using this skill? If so:
My hit roll is 20(+5) = 25 ((Holy crap!))
My attack roll is 9

Ratty, I forgot to remind you to pick a terrain you favor. It can be Taiga, desert, ocean, etc. and anything else you can think of. You get bonuses in this terrain.
-----------Turn The Third-----------
Aldus’ thigh burns slightly before the burn fades away as the poison is expelled. Aldus casts Prestidigitation on the spider, whose saliva begins to taste like the worst thing you can ever imagine. The spider seems completely unfazed, however. Chloe, seeing the futility of her attack, tries to fall back. The spider reacts and tries to pounce on her with a bite, leaping onto her and digging it’s fangs in the back of her neck. Chloe goes unconscious as the spider begins to drag her away into the cave. Leara lunges forth and slides her shortsword through the spider's head and out of the top of it’s thorax, killing it instantly. Enna takes her bow back out and fires it (critical hit!) through the ice wraith, which shatters into pieces. Angelia is left without a target.
With the heat of battle diminishing, an unconscious human with a dead spider on her and an elf surrounded by piles or ecto-plasmic frost are now in the clearing by the mine entrance with the original trio, a drow, another human, and a very, very young elf. There is no one else around. The sun is beginning to climb into the sky.

This is some role-play suggestions.
Ratty and Kloe, Piano’s character is a drow, who is feared and hated by most races. NeverSIlent’s and LockeZ’s characters are not bound by a racial prejudice to Drow for different reasons, but your characters would have every reason to have heard and been raised under those prejudices. You don’t have to be racist, of course, as your characters could have obviously gained morales that refused to believe in these stereotypes or you simply never believed in them, or you always give everyone a chance. Just be sure to keep this history in mind when talking.
Anyways, I’ll edit the OP once all level-up decisions have been made. Also, Chloe must make a constitution saving throw or have someone heal her.
