Astrid specifically told them to go during the day because Trent wouldn't be there. Guess it's still possible he was contacted and teleported in, but hmmmmmm.

Anyway, I doubt the next session is starting with an initiative roll unless they attack Trent first. More likely Trent's gonna force Caleb into a deal with the devil type scenario to work for him if he wants to get out alive.

Oh yeah, absolutely. Caleb's actually got a pretty good bargaining position - he can offer to teach dunamancy, for one thing, and Trent just does not give a gently caress about his subordinates. He can also bargain with the news of what's going down in Aeor. It's also actually a pretty bad spot for a mage showdown - it's pretty tight quarters, and Trent's basically got nowhere to maneuver or dodge.

I'm actually kind of excited assuming everyone plays it smart.

That seems less likely than a successful divine intervention roll.

Also I'm glad Marisha wasn't the first one to kill a guard. I had a bad feeling that was going to be another toxic community moment with everyone making GBS threads on her for doing something dumb.

I doubt he needs room to maneuver. It's his home turf, and he can call in a lot of help if he wants to. If he's a decently smart wizard the whole place is set up to help him/hurt anyone he doesn't want in there so this is the exact situation you don't want to catch a wizard in.

I never have the chat open anymore, but I already know they were giving her poo poo for a) existing b) the previous episode date c) thinking she was gonna kill the guard d) not killing the guard and e) killing the guard.

While I doubt it will happen, I really do wonder what half the party getting offed would do for the story. At this point, it seems difficult to think of a way to introduce three new characters who would have the same amount of investment in the current goals of the group, but I imagine they could think of something.

Can characters be revived without corpses, or is it pretty much goodbye?

They can with the 9th level spell True Resurrection, which requires a 17th level Cleric or Druid

One of the things I like about Cyberpunk 2020/RED is that they actually have grapple rules that work for sneaking up on someone and putting them in a sleeper hold to knock them out. With D&D it's like "Techinically it's just a grapple and the damage you do is just punching them in the back of the head" and the like. It's not a system that really works with aggressive stealth

Granted, I do want to see what someone can do with the Fighter's Unarmed fighting style that ups unarmed damage to a D8 and you get a free d4 damage dice every turn against a creature you have grappled. It gives you a meathead type of brawler to contrast to monks being more lean dex-y kung fu fighters. One of my 5e Character concepts is a Unarmed Fighter main with maybe a little bit of barbarian for Rage/Con->AC who exists somewhere between Kazuma Kiryu and Zangeif.

It isn’t I don’t think? It would probably cut down on the amount of nonsense, but every session there seems to be a shocking number of people who watch and subscribe to CR and then appear to have nothing but complaints in chat/on Reddit.

And I get it, it’s chat, and people are free to express themselves and offer criticism, it just seems like there are some folks who get really down on the show for insignificant poo poo.

Call me old but I don't understand the point of streamer chats. For the larger ones it's just a loving deluge of comments and emoticons. It's like if someone were to transcribe all the conversations in an auditorium in real time. How does anyone actually read that poo poo?
